Educational Board in PIans-Com-
plant against DIR. John V. Littig, sup
ervisor of the child welfare depart
ment of the public schools by DIR. b.
NJ. Raben on the ground that the sup
ervisor had publicly attacked his pro-
fessional work was made at the regu-
lar meeting of the school board. DIR.
Littig was charged with telling patrons
of DIR. Raben that work done by the
latter was unsatisfactory. Both Of
the men are specialists in the same
line and personal disagreement is said
to be at the bottom of the affair. DIR.
Raben gave the names of several of
his patrons who had been told that his
work was unsatisfactory by the super
visor. The board heard the complaint
but postponed action to a future time.
Or. Raben made the same charges at
the recent city school convention when
a personal conflict between the two
oculists seemed imminent. The new
board was organized with Hugo
Stolley and DR.. Karl Vollmer, directors
chosen at the last election, taking their |
places and DR.. George Decker and |
Alex Naeckel retiring. DR.. Decker |
gave a short farewell talk and Mr.. |
Naeckel read a paper telling of his |
work while member of the board.
