Declares Against Change.

aracterizing as a step backward, -
the proposal of the District Commits
sioners, recently submitted to Congress,
to abolish the school board. the public
schools committee Of the Board OF
Trade will ask the membership Of that
organization at a general meeting to be
held Tuesday afternoon to indorse the
present system and recommend its con-
tinuance to Congress.
This action was agreed to IL meet
ing of the committee yesterday after

District Commissioners the powers now
vested in the school board found only
one advocate, Charles W. Darr, and
when the report of the subcommittee
was submitted, Mr.. Darr's was the
only dissenting vote.
The only question that caused any
concern TO the subcommittee that had
been delegated to prepare the report, or
TO the full committee to which It was
submitted was that OF the scope OF
authority vested in the Board 81 Edu-
cation and the Commissioners, respcc-
