a criticism of his granting of new

dealers.

shaw. postmaster, banker and hotel
owner.
The two clergymen, mentioned by
name, are among the most prominent
in the village. The Rev. Edward e.

PRINCIPALS Of
SCHOOLS WISH
TO Be AGREEABLE
Statement by COrliss F. Ram
dOIph Regarding Tenure
of Office Bill.

Corliss f. Randolph, president of the
Newark Public School Principals Asso-
citation, in a letter sent to former Judge
Frederick F.. Guild, president of the
Board of Education, defines the stand
the school men will take on the ques-
ton of tenure of office legislation for
school teachers, on which a public
hearing will be given by the board this
afternoon.
The letter sets forth that the school
men are opposed to Senate bill Al, in
PRODUCED for the benefit of tho general
Teaching corps, on the ground that it
is too radical and that the draft of the
bill submitted by the school men to the
board some time ago fills all require
ments.
The letter was sent because Mr.. Ran
do1ph found it impossible to attend the
hearing today. After reviewing condi-
tions affecting the schools, Mr.. Ran
dolph says:
"When a few weeks ago the ques-
ton of tenure of Office legislation arose
at a meeting of our committee it was
decided, after careful elaboration, to
undertake the preparation of a bill
which was designed to be much less
radical than the one of last year,
previously referred to, and to reduce
to a minimum, as nearly as possible.
the objections then raised.
ITO this end we prepared a draft of
a bill providing for a maximum of six
years service, as against three of last
years, before a teacher would ass
under the protection of the tenure Of
office law. Moreover, the terms by
which the course or procedure to be
followed in bringing charges against a
teacher are changed from those of the
previous bill. Further, it was pro-
videde that, if enacted, it should not go
into effect for several months to come,
instead of Immediately.
I'm this form the proposed bill was
submitted to the Board of Education

a few days ago for such action as you
might deem best.
I'm the meantime Senate bill No. Al
appeared, the history of which we
knew nothing of until within a week
of the date of this writing. We regard
1t as much more radical than last
years bill, and. for that reason, open
to more grave objection.
"If with propriety l may be per-
mitted to do so, it is but fair to state
that the attitude of our committee
toward this question from the begin
ming of our attempt to draft a bill has
been to make it wholly acceptable to
the Board Of Education of Newark,
and when the board of trustees of the
Principals Association approved the
draft as submitted to o 1t was with
the confident expectation that it would
meet your approval.
81 may add that at this time, Ger
tainly, there is no desire o the part
of our body to give our support to any
measure which cannot commend itself
to your best judgment.
"Since the proposed bill was sub
mitted to you it has been suggested
that it -contravenes the terms of the
so-called thirty-fye-year pension law,
previously referred to in this letter. II
that be true, or eve a subject Of
doubt, proper exception should, by all
means. be made in the bill.
ain conclusion I beg to assure you
that the Principals Association desires
to cooperate with our board, in so far
as it may, for a satisfactory solution
of this and similar problems bearing
upon the highest efficiency of the pro-
f~ession. To that end. any notifications
of this bill that you shall see fit to
suggest as wise or advisable will COM
mand our most careful consideration.
