MAXWELL TO CRITICS.
Says 1910 Viii See Worst School
Congestion an Years.

DR.. William II. Maxwell. City Superintendent OF
Schools replied at length and with vigor yesterday
20 criticism OF the Board of Education made by
the Bureau OF Municipal Research through various
newspapers In this city. The criticism pertained 20
the part time situation. In the statement of the
Bureau OF Municipal Research the present shortage
was said to be due to causes entirely within the
control Of the Board Of Education and not 20 the
Board OF Estimate" Or. Maxwell sad
1T should be frankly admitted that to- present
shortage OF sittIngs ~ in absolutely no sense due
to the failure OF the Board Of Estimate to vote
funds in 1908 for 1902 As far ii this state
ment Is true. II. however. the people are to be
given the whole truth. the fact should have been
added that the failure of the Board of Estimate TO
vote money for the commencement OF new build
ings in 1909 will certainly produce 1910 the worst
congestion In the public schools we have seen for
years"
In the matter of consolidation Of classes, DR..
Maxwell said:
Owing to the rapid and continuous shifting OF
a population Of 100000 throughout a territory OF
go square miles the public school attendance Is
in constant state OF hux. This condition requires
that every month classes should be discontinued in
some schools and new classes organized In other
schools. For instance, between January and
July OF the present year LED classes were dis
continued while L249 were organized and author
lied. The excess-11e cIasses-represents the pro-
vision so far made to accommodate the great annual
increase in the number Of pupils which comes in
September and october. This work submit. has
been done vigilantly and prudenty in the best IN
terests OF the children of the city
Dr.. Maxwell added that the Bureau OF Municipal
Research should have known that everything per-
tanning to the matter Of leasing private buildings
for school purposes was in the hands Of the Com
mssioners Of the Sinking Fund. and that no money
was appropriated 10 the OF the Board of Educa-
ton for this purpose during 1909
AS To the transportation Of pupils he continued,
1T would be a sufficient answer TO say that the
Board Of Education each year expends for this
purpose all the money it receives. and that 1t has
seldom received so much 1t has asked.
Were l 20 hazard a guess II would be that the
number Of children part time at the close OF
September 1919. will be less than the number on
part time at the close OF September. 1913, which
vas $3.50 The number part time at the close
Of June ISO9 was - SOL compared with 1856 at
the close Of June. 1905.
