SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 10, 1903.
The essential point of the
5 matter of the appearance of
Professor Byron G.. Mathews,
of the High School faculty,
as presiding officer at a meet.
THE EDUCATOR AND
HIS OBLIGATIONS.

az PiNclufuS oiuetl at u nuCCl.
ing in which anarchistic sentiments were uttered and applauded
is not whether the execution of Professor Ferrer by the Spanish
government was just or unjust, lawful or barbarous. We believe
there is only one opinion in Newark on that point, and that opinion
has been voiced by the STAR in strongly condemnatory articles.
The point raised was this, whether it was proper for a man en-
sployed as a teacher of youth in the public schools, who should
also be an exemplar, to place himself in a position where his act
might compromise him as an educator; whether, for the interests
of public education, he could afford to prominently identify hin
self with any meeting in which anarchistic sentiments were likely
to be arowed. In his statement to the Board of Education last
night Professor Mathews unnecessarily dwelt upon the injustice
of the Ferrer execution. What was more to the point was his dis
avowal of certain remarks attributed to him, and his statement
will be accepted at once. He had been misquoted. Professor
Mathews says that in his address at the meeting he made no
allusion to any religious organization. On one occasion he checked
incorporate outbursts in the audience. 1t was with the belief that
he was within his rights as a free American citizen that Professor
Mathews complied with the request to preside at the meeting. He
did not surrender these rights when he became a teacher and did
not lose them as a teacher. The Board of Education did not accept
this theory of a teachers individual rights. The board and every
b citizen of common sense holds that when a man assumes the solemn
daily conduct and walk and his example all belong to the cause
of education. He is dedicated to the most important work that
man can assume. He does not possess the license of the ire
sponsible citizen. And above all, he should avoid everything cal
culated to create false impressions in the minds Of the youth he is
educating. 1t follows that the rebuke by the Board of Education
that Professor Mathewss action was e"ill advised and "unwise,'
the board at the same time accepting as satisfactory the explana
ton given. was just and merited. The incident will be useful here
after in its lessons TO pubfe'edncaters generally. One who asserts
his rights a IS an American citizen above his obligations as a teacher
might go further and institute a propaganda of his cult in the pub
lie schools. 1t is to the honor of public educators a S a class and
as a rule that both in precept and example they adhere to a line
of conduct that keeps them strictly within educational limits and
well within their obligations to the schools and to a noble profes
sion.

CLOSING Chapter of the Matthews Controversy

1t, which is a very different proposition,

would in their cooler moments,

several outbursts of feeling from the
audience, is to be regretted. In saying

the fullest responsibility for everything

siding which can with reason be at

that which is based Upon scientific
truth. He also wrote, My ideal Is
teaching, teaching that which is RAJ
tional and scientific. teaching like that
of the modern school which humanizes
and dignifes.'
For the sake of accomplishing the
reforms he hoped for, he spent $500, 900
or more in establishing schools in diff
ferent parts of Spain akin to our public
schools, pervaded as our schools are in
management and instruction with the
modern scientific spirit.
Personally, l cannot conceive how a
mar can be the educator he vas and
can say hat his ideal is teaching
which humanizes and dignifles,' and
at the same time advocate the use OF
violence for purposes of murder and
instruction as methods of accomplish
ing social and political reform. These
two things are too incongruous to
exist at the same time in the
same intelligent brain. Even the
Spanish government has failed, after
years of effort, to fasten this charge
upon him. Before the protest meeting
l said that if / had evidence that Fer
rer advocated the use Of violence ]
should not preside. But up TO date ]
have failed to find such evidence.
1.-THE meeting was called to condemn
the action of the Spanish government
and other power or influence that con
tributed to the accomplishment of thu
death of Ferrer without fair and opel
trial. If the meeting had been ar
ranged for the purpose of making al
attack on the Bible or on religion

The attitude of my entire life toward
things sacred would have prevented m,
from consenting to preside under thos

the proposition that the city should pay $6OO0,0 900 for a new water

following statement:
Professor Mathews's Statement.
..This is not the place for argumenta-
ton. I shall simply make a brief state
ment of my relation to the local Ferrer
protest meeting, which, if ! understand
the object of my coming here, is what
you want.
"When | was asked to preside at this
meeting on the ground that | was an
educator I advised that some one
more prominent In our local educational
| system be invited to do so. After be-
ing assured that the committee of ar
arrangements were not inclined to ask
anybody else, and after satisfying my
| self that the movement was in the
hands of law abiding citizens, who
would as far as possible guard against
any occasion for disorder. I consented
to preside. At that time the committee
was expecting to secure as one OF the
speakers Rev. Alexander Irvine, as
sistant pastor of the Church of the As
cension, an Episcopal Church on Fifth
avenue. New York, but failed to dc
so.
THE hall was packed. Hundreds OF
people were standing, working people
tired from their days work. Many
stood quietly in perfect order the
whole evening. Others, tired from
standing, went out. Aside from the
confusion of this passing out, and aside
from a few scattered about in the audi
e: e who disturbed the order by ar
occasional outburst of feeling, the audi
fence was al orderly as could reason
ably be expected, and that without the
presence of bluecoats. 1t was more or
