FEAR POLITICAL RULE
IN SCHOOL BOARD OF 9
President Churchill and Gen,
Wingate Warn Board of Es-
innate Of Dangers.

1T would be Ike throwing a monkey
wrench into the school machinery" said
President Churchill OF the Board OF Edu-
cation to the Charter Revision Committee
of the Board OF Estimate yesterday in
arguing against the proposed bill reducing
;he school board from forty-six 10 nine
members. The other extreme OF the de-
bate was an assertion by William c. Will
cox that the present Board OF Education
is so unwieldy. unresponslve and inefii-
cient that he is thinking OF resigning.
President Churchill challenged critics OF
the present board to specify what the city
needs that is not beins given now. He
said that purple. line linen, college educa-
tons and a studied campaign in the
newspapers" seemed TO figure largely In
the movement for "A smaller body
Il am opposed to the smaller board for
the same reasons that Influenced Mayor
Gaynor." Mr.. Churchill went on. "He felt
that among forty-siN members there might
be ten who would do good work II the
board were reduced there might be only
three or four Mayor Gaynor also felt
that smaller board might more easily
get into politics and could be more easily
controlled Under the present admins
tration there would be no danger in re-
gard TO fitness OF appointments. but in the
future we might have Mayor who wanted
TO handle the Board OF Education. II 10

may be unwieldy. but the board room IS

challenge you, Chairman McAneny, to
show us where We are weak. Give us
bill Of particulars"
Gen. George W. Wingate, a member OF
the school board for many years, agreed
with President Churchill He said that
mo-. OF the present members gave from
ou,-:h.rd to one-half of their time to
school affairs and that It would not be
physically possible for small board To
attend to all the details without giving up
their private business The small board
would have to be paid eventually. and then
the members would play politics in order
to he reappointed.
Besides Mr.. Wilcox those who favored
a small board were John Greene, now
vice-pres ident and candid Fl" against Mr.
Churchill for the presidency, and John
Martin Mr.. Martin thought, however,
