TEACHERS REPLY
TO EXPLANATION
OF SCHOOL PLAN
Instructors Think Newman

Proposed Change.
'HYDRA-HEADED SCHEME

tics Are to Be Kept Out,
They Think.
BRAND 1T AS INCONSISTENT

litical Control and People Wouldn't
Be Given Direct Interest.
'HYDRA-HEADED SCHEME
BRAND IT AS INCONSISTENT

Denying that Commissioner Newman
made satisfactory explanation OF the
Commissioners plan for the proposed
change in the District school manage
ment in his address before the Fedora
ton OF Citizens Associations on Sstur-
day evening. the press committee of the
High School Teachers Association last
evening branded the scheme as one that
would be wholly unsatisfactory to the
parents and teachers of the District.
The teachers contend that the proposed
change would not give the people a more
direct interest in school affairs; that the
Commissioners have not explained how
they would keep politics out Of the
schools; that they have not explained
why they did not consult the practices
in other cities and that their plan is
Inconsistent with their theory.
The complete answer of the teachers
to the Commissioners plan Is as follows:
In his speech before tho Federation OF
Citizens Associations. Commissioner
Newman made an explanation of the pro-
posed law which. the press committee OF
the High School Teachers Association
maintains. does not explain.
First, Il fails to explain Just how this
proposed school change will give the peo-
pie a more direct interest in school af-
fairs than they have at present In sup
port OF their contention that they have
the- wishes OF the people at heart. the
Commissioners have cited many times

they would not have met the storm of
protest that came from seventeen orgsni-
zations In answer to the Commissioner

Politics and Power.
Second, the Commissioners did not
satisfactorily explain how their plan will
keep politics out Of the school system. At
present, the Board Of Education is ap-
pointed by men who hold their Office for
life and hence are divorced as far as pos
sible from political influence. Under the
proposed law. all appointments will
