OFFICIALS GIVE OPINIONS ON THE VALUE OF POLCEWONEN

There s one notable exception TO this
chorus. however, that OF Topeka, Kan.
The Mayor of that community, JAY
f.. House. has no hesitation in as
sorting that the experiment there has
been a failure. And he relates his
experience in tho following words:
"My personal experience with police
women was brief. ! fired tn" two at

Replying to your questions cate
gorlcally. l will say that Topeka first
employed policewomen two years ago

p~olicewoman is the biggest Joke in the
world. As ! understand II, the duty %
n policeman is TO protect property and
preserve order. \ woman a do
neither. To decorate her with a star
and send her ont to do patrol duty
merely is to give her license to NEEDLE
with her ne.ghbors' business"
The experience Of Mayor House IS
in direct contrast TO that Of other city
officials. The city Of Salem, Mass,
It would appear, has had but n linz
tied trial OF the innovation. The
Mayor. VI. ]. O'Kccfe, writes that his
predecessor appointed n policewoman
about two years ago, and that she is
the only one now on the force.
"she has no particular duties as
| signed her" continues Mayor OlNecf",
''she wears no uniform, she receives
no salary, she simply wears n badge,
, Uer name is Miss Ethel Osborne, and
! she was appointed principally for the
/ purpose OF c~ensorIng dances and pic
ture houses.

crime by women Is increasing at all

In jamestown, y. Y, one police

the services OF this woman have

Of excessive drinking and other de,

Americus, Ga, July 20 1915.
Editor Times Recorder:
Recent articles appearing in your
columns intimating very strongly that
the bill now before the legislature,
which is to amend the Act creating
the Board of Public Education for the
City of Americas, is seeking to change
that feature of the present law regard
ing the election of members of the
Board so as to place the exclusive
right and power in the Board itself
to elect its own members, thereby max
ing it self-perpetuating body. We
feel confident that the Times-R Recorder
in any position it would take regard
ing the Board of Public Education OF
the City of Americas, would have no
other object in view than to give such
assistance as it might in building up
the schools and in aiding the Board in
their efforts to maintain a perfect
school system. Therefore, we feel that
you will gladly correct any such init
nation as suggested by the articles
referred to, through your columns.
In yesterday Times-Recorder you
mention the fact that the Board is I'M
dertaking to amend the charter of the
City of Americas We would call your
attention to the fact that the Board of
Public Education for Americas oper-
ates under separate and distinct
charter from that of the City of Amer
icus, 1t was chartered by the Georgia
Legislature in 1878, and is itself a
body polite and no part of the City
ONSlAuuSuL' we WOulu nOL presume
to undertake to amend the charter
of the City of Americas; we feel that
we have no right to interfere with the
Mayor and City Council of Americas
in having its charter amended; on the
other hand we feel that as a body
polite the Mayor and City Council of
Americas has no right to interfere
with the Board of Public Education
trying to procure an amendment to it's
charter. However, we welcome all
criticism from private citizens all of
whom are interested in the schools
as much as the City, and as such we
would gladly take suggestions.
The bill before the Legislature does
not seek to create a self-perpetuating
body of the Board of Education; it only
provides that the Board shall select
names of members to fill vacancies.
and the names shall be transmitted to
the Mayor and City Council of Ameri-
Gus, and shall be confirmed by the
Mayor and City Council before such
person can become a member of the
Board of Education. If the Mayor and
City Council refuses to confirm, then
the Board shall send other names, and
so on, until a name is presented to
them that will be agreeable. The prin-
cipal reasons for wanting this change
are:
list. We have quite a number OF
good men in the City of Americas who
are very much interested in school
work, so much SO. that they frequently
talk to Board members; make sugges-

tions about school work, and in that
way members of the Board of Educa>
ton soon know who are interested in
school work and who would make
good Board members, and we feel that
by having a right to suggest names to
the Mayor and City Council that we
could aid them very materially in get
ting the best men of the town for this
particular work.
End. By so doing we feel that the
selection of Board members will be
further removed from politics, which
tend to tear down, rather than build UP
school, and is always a menace to
such institutions.
We are advised that the only objec-
, tions the Mayor and City Council has
to this feature of the bill is, that they
must elect man whose name is sent
, by the Board of Education. They are
perfectly willing that the Board shall
recommend, but they want to reserve
the right to disregard the recommends
ton and elect without any suggestion
Or recommendation from the Board.
The full text of the bill is published
, in your daily paper of June 9Th, and
! we would respectfully request you to
i refer to that issue and read this bill
carefully and we believe that you,
| like all other impartial persons, will
, agree that there is nothing in the
+ bill that puts the exclusive power Of
electing members in the Board of Edu-
cation which is necessary to make it a
self-perpetuating body.
Your suggestion that the Mayor and
City Council, as we'll as great num-
Der of people of Americas, wisely OPP
pose this bill because of this feature,
we feel is rather unjust to us. Outside
of the members eefs the City Council
themselves, every person who has stu
died this bill carefully, agrees that
there is nothing in it that would make
, a self-perpetuating body of the Board.
Members of the Council urged as a rea-
son for not agreeing to this, that being
elected by the people, they had to an
swer to the people for what they did
and they should not be called upon to
do it. In response to which, we pro-
posed to add a provision to the bill
: submitting it to the voters of Ameri.
Gus, after enacted by the Legislature,
to vote upon it before becoming a
law, and in that way ascertain whether
or not it was agreeable to the people
of Americas To which proposition
the Mayor and City Council took Off
cial action, declining.
We will, therefore, thank you to do
us the kindness to publish this, and
beg to assure you that members of the
Board of Education have no object ia
view except to build up the very best
schools possible for the City of Amer
icus, and in doing this, we solicit the
cooperation of every citizen of Amer
icus. Respectfully
