CHARGES OF IMMORTALITY ARE
RESENTED
Members of Board of Education Who
Investigated Rumor Declare the
Stories Are Without
Foundation
Especial to The Herald. I

PASADENA, July 7.--Charges of i'm
morality in the high school Of this city
are keenly resented by the members OF

a complete investigation of the ru-
mors and found them to be without
basis. The newly elected president of
the board. Clarence e. Chamberlain
declares the charges are too foolish 10
be even combated, but will, with the
other members of the board, make pub
lie a statement within a few days.
The stories afloat have been traced
to two persons, it is said although the
investigators were unable to find a mo-
tive which would give cause for the
spreading of such tales as nave beeh
told about the conduct of pupils in the
Pasadena High school.
There has not been proven case of
immortality in this school in seven
years. The resignation of DR.. Ernest
B. Hoag from his position as medical
inspector in the public schools was
accepted with regret. He leaves to
take similar position with the schools
