REPLY TO CRITICISM OF
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Maj. Judson Defends Report Made
by District Commissioners
on Peters Bill.

Holding that cold facts and figures are
better argument than are sentimental
statements, Commissioner Judson gave to.
day the first newspaper interview from
any OF the Commissioners regarding the
criticisms against them by members OF
the board of education anent the Pc
tiers bill and the report from the District
building favoring tn. abolition of the
board of education
Although much adverse criticism has
been made publicly against the report
which the Commissioners sent to Con-
gress. the Commissioners have remained
Silent Commissioner Judson retains the
figures on which he and the other two
Commissioners worked before they intro
duced into the report the comparisons se-
tween Washington educational costs and
thoSe or other cities. There does not
seem 10 be any chance that those figures
VII! be changed in any official report to
congress or anywhere else.
Engineer Commissioners Views.
What Commissioner Judson said this
morning regarding the statement by mem
bers OF the board of education follows:
The Commissioners have not and will
not permit themselves to have any acri-
monious controversy with the board Of
education. Controversies between mu-
n1clpal agencies. when all are working
honestly and as intellgently as can be
expected toward a common end. are
waSteful OF time and vital energy that
should be devoted to the public service
Even If the Commissioners did not
recognize this truth they perfectly recog-
nlze that he who speaks of pupils and
cost per pupil per annum is at COM
piete disadvantage in discussion before
the general public with one who speaks of
little children and stands behind the
proposition that childhood comes but
once"

Cleveland and DR.. Cook were stud

graduate work at Chicago University,
where as room-mates they shared many
experiences.
DR.. Cook says he believes there is
no politics in the appointment Of this
Democrat by President Taft, but that
a man was selected who possessed the
ability to look into the expense OF
running the government.
Senator Aldrich said in the last
Congress if he could run the Depart
mental work OF the government in the
way he would his own business. he
