MAX LEAVITT MAY
BE PROSECUTED
State Superintendent Collects
Evidence Against Head of
Teachers Agency
Especial Dispatch TO The Call


SACRAMENTO. Sept 27.-Attorney
General Webb will doubtless be asked
to prosecute Max Leavitt, head of the
teachers agency of San Francisco,
when the state board of education
meets next month. Superintendent
Hyatt says he believes that he can
gather sufficient evidence against Leav-
lit to warrant action against him for
making dupes out of teachers and
school trustees throughout the state
Hyatt stated today that here was no
objection to legitimate teachers agen-
cies, but that there was against the
agencies which have no scruples.
Leavitt's method, he says, is not to
place all applications OF teachers be-
fore trustees, but to single out one ap-
plicant with good recommendations
and place this application in 80 or 40
schools. At the last moment, through
letters pleading illness, accidents, mar
riages, deaths in the family or unex-
pected change of plans, he broke the
original contract, supplying a new
teachers from whom he collected a.
substantial commission, 1t is alleged
The system has been denounced, not
only because it contains elements of
fraud, but because it has brought mis-
cry TO unsuspecting teachers. incon-
Venience to school trustees and has
played havoc generally with the school
system of the state.
