Mrs. Mussey recalled the case of the
school system here. with the subsequent
investigation made by the Board of
Trade, showing that the President had
based his statements on information sup
piled by the municipal architect, Snow
den Ashford, who she said, had not
supplied the boards figures to the Pres
ident in connection with those used by
Mr.. Ashford.
Mrs. Mussey declared that she did not
believe the representatives who had con-
demned the schools Saturday had real
ly made a serious investigation, but had
based their remarks on ''hearsay."
and" she added. 'you know it is a
very easy matter to juggle figures"
Defenders Of the Schools.
That the men who have carefully
studied the school situation here are in
favor of it's present method of manage
ment. and several of them defended 1t
Saturday, Mrs. Mussey believes is a
significant fact. Among the members
of Congress who have made such study
she noted Representatives Foster. Smith,
chairman of the committee on District
affairs; Parsons, Bennett, Olcott and
Senator Burkett.
Mrs. Mussey does not believe the board
of education will be abolished. "A board
of education is necessary" she said. 1T

INJURY TO SCHOOLS
Serious Situation May Result
From Constant Hammering.
SYSTEM HAS ITS FRIENDS
Mrs. Mussey Says Its Opponents
Should Investigate.

THAT the constant hammering on the
nublic school system will create situa-
ZION akin to panic and will be the death
of many a good idea. which has just be-
gun TO show beneficial effects in the edu-
cation of the city's vast army of young
BOYS and girls, Is only mild way to
state the opinion of supt. A. T. Stuart
on the subject of the recent attacks made
on the school administration by lnolVld-
uals and organizations
Furthermore, nearly every member OF
the board of education is Of the opinion
that If the truth were knowp almost
every criticism has had its origin I'm a
source which will be found to be deeply
and vitality interested in something or
other connected with the schools. For
this reason the school people are work
ing earnestly to get into correct form
eyery bit of refutation they can possibly
coIIect-and it is promised that every bit
Of it will be used in the grand day OF
settling when the board of education de-
mands an investigation of some OF its
enemies.
Demoralizing Teachers.
There is nothing more injurious than
these constant attacks said Mr.. Stuart
This constant agitation is demoralizing
the entire teaching force
That the board of education will fight
for more and adequate powers the next
session Of Congress was asserted today
by Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, vice presi-
dent OF the board Of education.
Mrs. Mussey confirmed the superintcn-
dents statement in regard to the series
of attacks which were being made on the
public schools of Washington lit is one
of the most serious things we have to
combat she said.
Regarding the attack made in the
House Saturday Mrs Mussey was Of the
opinion that some of the leaders OF 1t
were prejudiced against the school sys-
tenn, for personal reasons and otherwise.
One of those most prominent in making
the attack she declared. was friend Of
a certain former superintendent OF schools
here, who had been discharged by the
board Of education after a trial in court.
This leader. declared the vice president,
still kept up a correspondence with the
ex superintendent. AS for the real facts
which were in the hands of the fault
finding representatives she believed them
to be nil,

Daily Attendance Cards.

Capt. Oyster said he had inaugurated
little timekeeping system in the sch.
which will mean that daily attendance
cards Of teachers will be sent into the
board Of education's Office at the Franklin
School building every day. In that way
the rolls will automatically build them
selves up from week to week, and will
help at the end of the month in prevent
ing the delay from now on which at first
seemed to be inevitable.
II is believed that with few shortcut
methods the delay will not be quite SO
long this month as was at first supposed.

Of the board OF education and two MEM
bers of the common council. The budget
fixed by the said board must be confirmed
by the common council. For several years
without change. Large items. such as
teachers salaries. are regarded as man.
datory upon the common council.
THE school organization, under the
statutes of New Jersey, is a separate and

has been in operation the municipal gov

Selection Of Boards.
In eighty-three cities, all Of which are

or common council or both. In some cit
les they are elected OF these eighty
three cities, Boston. Cleveland, Indianap
oils and ST. Louis are mentioned as be-
ing well known everywhere for their
standards of business and educational
efficiency. In these four cities the power
of the boards of education is absolute In
many things. Boston gives it's board Of
education complete power over appropria-

ton. would probably cause the death by
sudden surprise OF the members of the
present boarE who have to fight their
way through the District building,
through the appropriations committees
and finally through Congress to get the
things they conscientiously believe are
needed.
The Cleveland board has full control Of
all school properties. school expenditures
and bond issues. The full responsibility
of school revenues is placed on that board.
The indianapolis board is separate and
independent corporation, even down 20
levying its own taxes. st. Louis has a
board with absolute power over school
expenses
