WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Former
President Taft made his first appear
ance as an expert on law before a
Congressional committee o-day when
he testified before the House judi
ciary Committee on the reformation
of law court procedure.
Professor Taft, who represented the
American Bar Association, prescribed
remedies for congestion of Federal
Court dockets where questions of law

'T had some doubt about the wis
dom of my coming here" said the
former President, mot because l did

but because l 4hought if it were
foised around the country that was
in favor of the bill to simplify judi
cial procedure a great many persons
would be against the bill just be-
cause I said 1t was all right"
Mr.. Taft commented on the slow
ness of legal procedure in this coun-
try, and asserted there is no country
where judicial procedure is so ad-
vanced as in England.
"I don't think it is necessary for
me to say that l am opposed to the
recall of judges and the recall of Ju-

S[ATON CLASHES WITH
BOARD Of EDUCATION On
PROBE Of CITY SCHOOLS

Members of the City Board of Edu-
: cation are expecting some interesting
revelations on how Atlanta's schools
are conducted through two surveys,
one of which has already been com
pleted by the Russell Sage Founda-
ton, of New York. and another that
has just been requested of the State
School Department.
The members of the board have not
yet been furnished with copies of the
Sage Foundation report, although they
understand it is now in the hands OF
a committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, and that it contains some very
illuminating criticisms. Friday they
began efforts to secure copies.
Slaton Opposes Survey.
Through the initiative of Major r.
J. Quinn, the new Ninth Ward repre-
sentative on the Board of Education,
NJ. L. Britain, State School Superin-
tendent, has been requested to have a
survey of Atlanta's schools made that
the department may be in position to
better distribute the State schools
funds
Major Quinn pointed out that At
lanta pays one sixth of the States
taxes and he wanted the State de-
partment to thoroughly understand
the city's school system when 1t makes
its apportionment of school funds.
Members of the board were much
surprised that Superintendent Slaton
vigorously opposed this survey by the
State department.
There was no intimation that the
Russell Sage Foundation investiga-
tion, c. Quoted under the auspices of
the Chamber of Commerce along with
Investigations of other city depart
ments, was opposed by Superintend-
ent Slaton, but when Major Quinn
proposed the State investigation Su
perintendent Slaton quickly declared
that it should not be done, because
the Board of Education could not
protect itself from wild statements
and possible prejudices.
Would Turn on Light.
'T am opposed to this investigation,
and so is Assistant Superintendent
Landrun declared Mr.. Slaton.
Superintendent Slaton made 1t plain

the real objection to the administra-
ton of justice.
81 would remove as far as possible
from the judiciary this power of pat
ronage," he said. Il am in favor OF a
life judiciary, for an elective judiciary
would be weakening, and if you take
the appointment of clerks and other
court employees, with the possible
exception of messengers, out of the
hands of the judges, it will be help
to the court and remove at least one
of the temptations of the judiciary.
II am not criticising the whole OF
the judiciary, for appointed about 80
per cent of 1t. and they are high
class men, but l merely want to sug-
gest to the committee the step Con-
gress might take to remove tempta-
ton from men who are human and
to prevent perhaps much criticism of
the judicial system"
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-27

that he heartily favored any survey by
an outside body sble to approach the
question without prejudice.
The attitude of majority of the
Board of Education, however, was
that they wanted all the light possi-
BILE on the school system.
'An agent of the State would not
dare make false statements about the
schools" answered Major Quinn. 1--WE
want the benefit of his conclusions
after he has made thorough study.
We would not be bound by them, but
the State department would have
thorough information regarding At
lanta's schools.
'T am determined to know what is
going on in Atlantas schools. even
if have to make the survey myself"
knowledge of Schools Measer.
The position of a number of mem
bers of the Board of Education is
known to be that they feel their
knowledge Of the actual conduct OF
the schools is too superficial. When
severe criticisms were recently heaped
upon the school system on account of
crowded conditions in some schools,
a number of members of the board
felt that they were insuff1ciently in
formed.
The request for a probe under the
direction of Mr.. Britain was adopted
by a good majority. 1t promises to be
deep, touching the courses of study,
physical culture medical examination,
the teachers, normal system and the
like

No School Privileges
For This Half Citizen

r. L. House, an Atlanta policeman,
owns a house in the Druid Hills sec
ton. But his house is outside the city
limits and his front yard is inside.
Houses children attend the Highland
Avenue School. They will be allowed
to continue to do so the balance of this
term, but unless Mr.. House reverses
his present residence-that is, put his
home in his front yard and his front
yard in his back yard-his children
will be barred from the Atlanta
schools in 1915, according to a ruling
by City Attorney Mayson.

The work of selecting the text

over to the superintendent. w. M.
Slaton, by the Board of Education at
it's meeting Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Slaton was instructed by the
Board to advertise for bids or to
write the book publishing houses for
prices, and was given authority to
use whatever methods he thought
would bring the best results.
The plan to allow the superinten-

posed by Commissioner r. ]. Quinn

Board except Alderman Jesse Armis-
