DON'T TEACH CHILD

Telling Little One to Pray to

Reprehensible.

Mothers, do not teach your children

band, and is actionable.
Wives, do not show your preference
for your mothers over your husbands.
That is treating your husband con-

Flexner Says sympathy
Racket" Leads to Ineffi-
cheney in-System.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
HAS STORMY MEETING
Singing "Star-Spangled Banner"
Would Hurt Children's Voices
Declare Maxwell.

Abraham Flexner was the storm centre
at a meeting of the Board Of Education
yesterday. He repeated assertions made
by an associate superintendent and some
principals to the effect that It was impos-
sible to rid the system OF inefficient teach
ers because the Board OF Education would
not discharge them. The sympathy
racket" he added. was largely responsible
for such a condition.
Several tried to take Mr. Flexner to
task, Arthur Somers declaring the speaker
had indicted the whole teaching force.
why all this excitement" asked John
Martin. There is prevalent belief
among principals that It would be the
supervising teacher who would be put on
teacher for ineffciency."
Mr.. Somers loudly acclaimed that the
dignity Of the board was being lowered
by having to listen to Mr.. Flexner "di-
vorce himself Of cheap gossip"
At the very outset of the meeting Mr..
Flexner who is the leader of the forces
to Thomas w. Churchill, the President
and his so-called progressive" adherents,
aroused the ire of the presiding officer.
An effort was made by the majority to re-
lieve the new Bureau of Reference and
Research from answering any questions
put to 1t by the City Superintendent or
the Board of Superintendent. on tho as
sumption. that 1t would break down the
bureau through overlooking.
This is vicious legislation" said Mr..
Flexner. ut is only part Of a policy of
this board that will not be tolerated by
the public"
1t was pointed out that while superin-
tendents of schools in other cities could
get all the information desired from the
new bureau the officers of the school sys-
TEN here would be barred.
DR.. Ira S. Vile, who a year ago was
aligned with the Progressive forces,
voted yesterday with the minority. or
Flexner, wing. He has done so frequent
~ at recent meetings.
While wrangling pervaded the early
part of the meeting. patriotism prevailed
later. Proper respect for the flag was
recently made mandatory at school as
semblies. Yesterday John ]. Keller sug-
gested that a stanza Of ''The Star
Spangled Banner" be sung at each assem-
bly,.
Superintendent Maxwell, however.
thought that this would be injurious.
Children under ten years DID," ne as
serted, cannot reach the high notes OF
The Star-Spangled Banner. 1t would
hurt their voices
Isadore NJ. Levy introduced a resolu-
ton. which was referred 10 the commit
tee on bylaws. 1t read as follows:
Resolved, That the members OF the
supervising and teaching force be re-
quired to take an oath to support the
government and constitution Of the ma
tional government and the State Of New
York, and that the committee OH by
laws be requested TO draw an appropri-
ate bylaw to carry above resolution into
effect"
Refunds for absences Of teachers. held
up for a year. are to be paid through
ARRANGEMENTS with the Controller.
No action was taken on the appoint
ment of an associate superintendent.
Miss Grace c. Strachan is candidate
for the place. A bitter fight is expected.

him to give me back my good name
So asserted Miss Mae A. Sullivan yes
terday from the witness stand In the su-
preme Court. where her suit for breach OF
promise against Arthur l. Hoe is on trial
The woman sobbed as she spoke these
words and pointed at the defendant, VINO
sat with his wife.
Miss Sullivan was not prepared to re-
sumo the stand at the morning session
Just before she entered the court house
she had an experience that caused her TO
weep and tell Justice Gavegan that she
could not continue her testimony until
later In the day. It seems Miss Sullivan
was served with an order in supplement-
airy proceedings directing her TO appear
in tho City Court and show cause why
she should not pay Judgment OF S223
held by a Harlem butcher.
At the afternoon session she said that
she loved Mr.. Hoe. even after he had de-
ceived her. She added: "Mr. Hoe con-
fessed that he was a married man. but he
told me he would get divorce and marry
me any way"
Miss Sullivan told about automooile
trips that she had taken with William A.
Burr, a contractor. She was known as
Mrs. Burr to q friend, Mrs. Nellie Glass
berg. but the witness explained that she
merely posed" as Mrs. Burr to her
friend.

van borrowed from Mrs. William j.

Sullivan, when l wasn't flashing thou
sands of dollars, and she knew / didn't

appear as mother, so that men wouidnt
pay so much attention to me-"
Miss Sullivan had another crying spell
when she was asked why she had cards
engraved with the name Of Mrs. MO
riarty on them. She said she had done
this at the request Of Mr.. Hoe. 1t was
at this point that she made the state
ment about wanting her good name "
She had to be excused from further testi-
flying.
