Sol was home lick while he was
down before the committee yesterday
testifying.
Morris said he wrote the excuse
because he was afraid if his brother
told the teachers he was testifying
before the committee he would be
punished. The boy then declared
that his sister Fanny, Is, came home
from school crying that Miss Tyson
said she couldn't graduate. Morris
said he interviewed Miss Tyson and
she told him that Fanny couldn't
graduate because she hadn't gotten
certain cloth to sew in school, which
her parents couldn't afford to buy for
her, and he stated that she wasn't
permitted to graduate for year be-
cause of this.
Lowe declared the boys testimony
would not be listened to because he
had written false excuse yesterday
and ordered him put out of the build

H. Gault, All S. Marshfeld, father
of Sol, told him his boy had come
home badly beaten up and after in
effective interviews with Miss Tyson
he had sworn out a warrant for
Moore and had him arrested. After
two continuances the case came up
before Judge Fry, but Gault said Miss
Tyson had asked him to let the mat
ter drop, so he told the Judge to go
easy and Moore cried and told the
story of his life and he got of.

PUPILS BLAME TEACHERS AND
TEACHERS BLAME PUPILS
That "strong-arm" methods have
been used at the Marquette school
there seems to be no dispute. The
dispute is as to who used them. The
children blamed the teachers and the
teachers blamed the pupils in the
hearing before the trial board COM
mittee of the Board of Education
yesterday.
Miss Mary E. .Tobin, principal of
the school, accused of giving teachers
word to discipline pupils by corporal
punishment, was exonerated by the
committee as "she must maintain
discipline and was sent to that school
in order to bring about discipline"
Mrs. Ada G.. Dyson, a teacher al
legged to have struck Jeanette Lev
enthal, 12-year-old girl, because
she sang a wrong note, denied ever
having struck any pupil. Bernard
Epstein, pupil, said he saw Jean
cite struck by Mrs. Dyson, and VIM.
Walker testified to the same effect
and said he had been knocked to the
floor by Mrs. Dyson himself He de-
clared the charge was made by Jean
cite at the time she claims to have,
been struck and pupils were exam
ined by Miss Tobin and told her the
story.
Explaining the story of Albert Ho-
rell, IA, who told of alleged beatings
at Wood and Harrison street by Carl
Tempue, school janitor, and Emil
Schart, engineer, the latter said that
the boy was making a disturbance
and he tried to put him out of the
school. He declared that he found it
more than he could do to manage
Albert, who is several inches shorter
and very much lighter than himself,
and that Albert bit him. Tempue
came to his assistance and the boy
