DECLARE BRUCE IS
HOLDING HIS PLACE
CONTRARY TO LAW
Contention of School Board
Members Opposed to
His Retention.

That Roscoe c. Bruce, Assistant Su,
perintendent of Schools, is now holding
his position without warrant of law, as
necessary steps for his reappointmeni
were not taken when DR.. Davidson be.
came superintendent is the contention
colored members of the board will en-
ploy in their effort to have Mr.. Bruce
removed.
This technicality, If sustained, gives
the board members a chance to take
up the charges against him. as other
wise he could not be removed except
upon written recommendation Of the
Superintendent.
II this objection to Mr.. Bruce's tenure
OF office is upheld by the board 1t also
will apply to F.. L. Thurston, assistant
superintendent for white schools. as
Mr.. Thurston was appointed by A. T.
Stuart just before DR.. Davidson came
In. The contention of the colored
members is that the law regarding
the appointment of assistant superln-
tendents Is so worded that II is
necessary for each new superinten-
dent to name his assistants and send
their names to the board for ratih-
cation. This does not apply in the
case of teachers, because they are
APPOINTED for a certain term.
Though Mr. Blair has declared that
he believes the continued tenure Of Of
fee of the assistant superintendents is
legal without further formality," said
r. R. Horner, a colored member of the
board this morning, Il see nothing IN
the rules to warrant such a view. AS l
see II, 1t is open to serious doubt
whether either Mr.. Thurston or Mr..
Bruce are officially entitled to their
pay"
Mr.. Horner declined to discuss what
action the 'colored members of the
board would take in the Bruce case. 1t
is known, however, that a conference
between the three colored members will
be held Immediately upon the return
Of W. W Tunnel to the city. He is
expected within a few days.
Members of the board declined to dis
cuss the situation beyond expressing
regret that the trouble had arisen at
this time.
1T is unfortunate and deplorable that

to do would be to allow the superin-
