TO PROBE THE.
SCHOOL CHARGES
Disinterested Citizens Will
Hear Complaint Against
Ferris Institution
COMMITTED MAY
HOLD MEETING TODAY

It was announced to-day that the
charges made several weeks ago
against the Ferris Industrial School by
L. Irving Handy, in an open letter
would be heard by a committee com
prised Of disinterested citizens. The
managers of the school deem it wise
that so far as the charges are con-
cerned. they should have nothing 70
do with the hearing, and that men
of good standing in the community
should be judges. These men have
not been selected.
The matter Of the management Of
the school win be attended to by the
managers themselves and if any officer
at the institution is found guilty Of
any infringement of the rules. he will
be dealt with accordingly. One of
them so expressed himself to-day.
The board OF managers Of the school
has been criticised in some quarters
for delaying the investigation. IL was
learned to-day, however, that the de-
lay is unavoidable, having been due 10
the illness OF at least two members OF
the law committee 10 whom the matter
was referred and also to the fact that
the General Sessions Court is in ses-
sion and several of the members OF
the committee are lawyers.
1t is expected that the members OF
the committee win meet to-day.
