Board of Education Votes
for Reorganization OF

CHELSEA TO GET

Report by Superintendent Shall
low on Gary Plan Provokes
WOrdy Wrangle.
By HENRIETTA RODMAN.

The Board of Education did some nhe
things at it's meeting yesterday ana
some that weren't so fine.
II voted $4,000 to carry out MI.
Wir,'s plans for the reorganization OF
public School SO. in Brooklyn, and sew
oral thousands more for Public School
AZ If Mr.. Wirt's work is successful
tho citv will save twice as much as It
has spent on experimenting with the
Gary system.
DR. Maxwell presented report made
nv City Superintendent Shallow upon
the Gary schools.
Miss Martha Draper moved that the
board refuse TO accept the report until
il was "rid OF extraneous and offensive
matter" She quoted from it several
personal attacks on Mr.. Writ.
Mr.. Morton Stein moved that the re-
port be expurgated by President
Churchill.
Abraham Flexner objected to having
his reading matter censored by the
president Of the board or any other one
person. He stated, however, that mo
subordinate should dare 70 address
such report to the Board OF Educs-
ton"
By the way, is official arrogance any
less offensive in member of the Board
Of Education than in a German officer,
for instance, or isn't it?
I'm sorry that Mr. Flexner's democ-
racv is not of the same excellence as
his efficiency.
Superintendent Shallow was obvious
ly guilty of discourtesy, but so was
Mr.. Flexner when he said that Mr..
Shadows report justified his name.

New School in Twentieth Street.

The board voted that Chelsea should
have it's new school, in Twentieth
Street, but it did not agree to relin-
quish the old sites in exchange.
This action seemed to be lacking to
a marked degree either in sincerity or
efficiency. The city cannot afford 70
build on the new site and retain the
old ones.
Does the board want a community
centre for Chelsea, or doesn't il?
"The pension bill providing that teach
ers shall pay 3 per cent of their sal
aries into the pension fund is unsatis
factory to the teachers. and should not
be Endorsed by the board" DR.. Max
well declared. -.
This bill provides that the city shall
contribute only S558,000 year. This
is less than the teachers are required
to contribute. If the city paid in an
amount equal to that paid by the teach
ers, they would need to give only ga
per cent of their salaries, instead of
the per cent demanded by this bill"
.:.r. Churchill, president of the
board, and John Greene, chairman Of
the finance committee. assured DR.. Max
we'll that the measure is only tenn
porary expedient, and will not be per-
manently accepted by the board.

OFFICERS SEEK
DYNAMITE Thief

About 200 pounds of dynamite was
stolen Tuesday night from the maga-
zine at the Kinney mine. Deputy
Sheriff Andrew NOLAN and Constable
Alvin Anderson of Kinney are today
looking for the thief. They are armed
with search warrants and will visit
the shacks of several of the home
steaders in that neighborhood.
Dynamite thefts from mines in that
neighborhood are not infrequent but
this is the first time in several months
that such a large amount has been
taken. It is believed the theft is the
work of homesteaders who plan to use
it in clearing their land of stumps.
"Some of the mines are so poorly
protected against theft that it is a
wonder that there is not more dyna-
mite stolen," Chief Deputy Sheriff
Fred Witte said this afternoon. "In
some instances several hundred
pounds Of dynamite is left in the mine
in small magazine with only small
paddock on it," he said, "but 1 do not
know what protection they have
against theft at the Kinney mine."

While couched in friendly terms it is
firm. It dos not say what steps will

but indicated that the United States

to obtain acquiescence in its position.
