BOARD PRESIDENT
A school board president playing
hOg-trough politics, wrecking civil
service, throwing out efficient teach
ers to satisfy a personal class preju-
dice.
That's what Chicago has now in
the person of Jake Loeb, according
to an article in the New Republic
this week.
And because the New Republic
goes into every public library in the
country has a wide non-paTtisan fol-
lowing among the leaders of all pO-
litical parties and is especially well
known in the school and college
world, the record presented by the
New Republic under the head of
THE Business Man in Office" is an
official picking in amber of the
school board head in Chicago whose
special stunt is to holler for human
freedom while he chOkes and smoth-
ers it.
"TO manipulate boards Of educa-
ton so as to strike a blow at organ
lied labor, using patronage as a tool,
is to be as mischievoUs as the most
wicked professional politician" says
the New Republic.
IF business men in Office are to
justify their use of business tech
nique and business ideals they must
do it on other grounds than those
brought forward by Jacob NJ. Loeb,
president of the Chicago board of
education, at the National Educa-
tiOnaI assn convention. Otherwise
business ideals in the public service
will constitute as distinct a menace
as the evil politics which they pUr-
port to supeTsede. For Mr.. Loeb
chose to make himself spokesman for
that least enlightened and least in
teIigent section Of the manUfaCtUr-
ing and commercial class in this

the class with whom he is affiliated in
Chicago. The campaign against the
Teachers Federation took the form
of weapon in a larger war.
For the Chicago Teachers FEEDER
alton has been long in the public eye
as one of the most intelligent, ag-
gressive and troublesome of Illinois
labor bodies. It's long struggle has
been followed with intense interest
by both the educational and labor
worlds. It aroused the hatred of the
publiC-serviCe corporations by fore
ing the disgOrging of unpaid taxes;
it fought the commercial interests
back of the scheme for a dual system
of education; it has lobbied for pro-
gressive political measures in the
legislature. It has not only been on
the firing line in the defense of teach
ers against exploitation, but has
made itself formidable as an ally of
organized labor. It has consequent
ly had to meet reprisals inevitable in
so bitter and protracted a struggle"
Dismissal of Sc teachers, two
thirds marked excellent" by the
school boards own appointed super
intendent, is described with quota
ton from LOeb's speech that cit is
true the business man is not quail
fed to arrange the curriculum or to
direct the teachers; these things are
not the functions of any person or
power except those Of trained edUca-
his staff, >" which draws the comment:
"Mr. Loeb himself assumed per-
sonaI responsibility for the list Of
teachers refused reelection. He then
violated that very principle he had
the audacity to outline the next week
in the address at the convention.
"Only one conclusion can be drawn
that the teachers were dropped be-
cause they were officers and mem
