DIR. DRAPER on TIE GAYNoR PLAN

The letter of DR.. Draper, State Super
intendent of Education, to Chairman
Foley of the Assembly Cities Commit
tee puts with great force and clearness
the objections TO the educational pro-
visions of the proposed charter for this
city. 1t will be impossible for any one
who has read IL TO he misled into the
belief which Mayor Gaynor is sedu-
lousy cultivating that the only change
contemplated in the educational system
Of the city is from a large unpaid to
q small paid board. The fact is that
the present system is completely revo-
lutionized by the proposals in the new
charter. Education, which it has been
the policy OF the state to keep as indie
pendent as possible of local political
institutions. is made by the charter n
mere branch of the city government,
like street cleaning and the police. This
change DR.. Draper regards as of doubt
full constitutiOnality. Certainly ii is dan
gerous, its tendency being to bring pol
iticS into the schools and the schools
into politics precisely TO the same extent
| that the other branches Of municipal
administration are affected with politics.
Moreover, the proposed plan upSets
the present system of administering
education, prevailing not only in this
city but throughout the country gener-
ally. The proposed small paid Board
| Of Education will be an administrative
board. The present board IS not an
administrative board Thus the admin
istration Of the school system under the
Gaynor plan will pass largely from the
hands of the expert educators, the Super
| lntendent Of Schools and his associates,
Into the hands of the Board Of Educa-
! tion. If the paid board is TO be made up
of professional educators this will result
/ in needless duplication Of experts,
with constant pickering between the two
sets Of experts, the board and the super
lintendent and his associates. Moreover,
as Or. Draper points ont. the schools In
this case will he in danger of falling
! into the unrestricted control of educa-
tiona faddists. The saving common
sense of representatives Of the commu-
nifty Will be lacking Ill a DOard WIlCh

the community. but is made mp Of eX-
perts. If. on the other hand, the board
! is not to he made up of experts. and is,
revert heless. to he an administrative
board. then we have the administration
Of the schools. the proper function of
/ trained educators, taken largely away
/ from the experts who now conduct 1t
and placed in the hands of non-experts'
mere oficeholders of the type which too
often occupies the chief place in the city
departments.
II is no wonder that educators unani-
mously condemn the Gaynor plan. 1t
cOntemplates a system in which no self
respecting educator would care to serve

TESTING TIE ELECTION law.

TESTING THE ELECTION IA ".
The suit brought in jefferson County
against the constimtionality of the Levy
election law will prove interesting and
profitable to the public, as it will fur
nish the first test of the legal value of
the constructive legislation of the
Tammany lawmakers. 1t is frankly a
partisan move in the interests of Repub-
icans, as frankly partisan as was the
passage Of this new law Ivy the Demo
cratic majority.
Section Of Article Of the constitu-
ton contains these words; .-.
In cities and villages having FIVE thou
sand inhabitants OF more, according 10
the last preceding state enumeration of
inhabitants. voters shall be registered
upon personal application only but
voters not residing in such cities or VII
lagos shall not be required to apply in
person for registration at the first meet
ing Of the officers having charge Of the
registry Of voters.
The Levy law provides that only
those voters who cast their ballots at
the last previous election may he regis
tered on the first day of registration
without appearing personally; ell others
must make personal application for
registration. This suit. said to have the
backing Of the Republican state Com
mittee. is brought I'm the name Of two
residents Of a rural community who
did not vote Last year, but contend
that they have n right. under the con
stit1tjon. to he registered this year with
ont personal appearance. There were.
unfortunately. one hundred thousand
voters in this state who neglected last
year to visit the polls. who under the
terms Of this law would have 10 make
personal application for registration. As
2 large proportion of these voters were
Republicans. the interest Of the state
committee becomes apparent at once.
Announ cements already have been
made that suits will he brought TO test
the consttutionality Of the ballot pro
visions Of the Levy law. These also
are frankly partisan, designed, in the
interest Of Tammany Hall, 10 check or
discourage fusion movements in this
city. Much confidence Is expressed
among opponents of this law that
neither Of the provisions attacked Will
be able 10 stand the test in the courts.
II would he most discouraging, even
humiliating. to the Tammany law
makers 10 have their cherished hit OF
constructive legislation, with all its
hopeful partisan possibilities, thrown
our bv the Court Of Appeals.

cumstances are similar and whose jim
terests are not diverse. Would 1t not he
possible 10 maintain IN agreement I'm
such an industry? The fewer there are
TO participate in an agreement and the
more similarity there is in their cir
cumstances and interests the less prob
ability there is Of its being broken.
No, it will not do to dismiss the gentle
mems agreement as negligible merely
because it proved impracticable once
upon time in steel and is now imprac-
ticable in similarly unorganized indus
tries.
