WASHINGTON. April is-who
pays the experts employed by Uncle
Sans Bureau Of Education? A con-
sressionAl committee nearly curied
up last week when Prof. r. ]. Ward
appeared before them, supposedly an
employe of the United States govern
ment. and while giving testimony on
the subject OF the propriety of pass
ing a bill TO use the puDlic schools
"a community forums. told the com
mittee that his salary was 81 per
annum
Representative Ragsdaie. OF South
Caroline, leaped TO bis feet and rush
ed to telephone to confirm his sus-
picion that Ward was trihins with
the committee. He knew that 81 Is
insufficient in these days of high
cost OF living TO support an expert
on education, and moreover he had
seen Ward at S6-a-piatc dinner at
the Jefferson Day banquet at the
Willard hotel. and no wanted to
know where the other - came from.
Other insmters were keen also to
find out the method by which this
expert on education had solved the
living problem, and sat up and took
notice. The ofnciai records soon
supplied Ragsdale with the following
Information, namely, that Edw. J.
Ward was appointed specialist in
community organization Jan. 3, 1916.
at a salary Of 81 per annum. The
chief clerk OF the bureau stated fur
Their that there was no record to
ehow from what other source Mr..
Ward might be paid.
The committee had been taking
ths opinions Of Mr.. Ward a. an on.
pert and an authorized agent Of the
government on educational matters,
and particularly the bill under con.
sideration, and a number of It's mem.
bers felt that II was important Ia
