DR.. CHANDLER FEELS
HIS FIRST DUTY IS
TO C|TY'S SCHOOLS
Expresses Hope That Position of
Censor VIII Not Be Added to
His Present Duties.
ORDINANCE TO BE CONSIDERED
BY COMMITTEE ON MAY 8
Question of Regulation OF Moving
Picture Films Discussed by Mrs.
Jobson, MFR. John Mcclure and
Others-May Handle FYrearms.

After hearing from Mrs. Georgia
May Johson. DR.. J. A. c. Chandler and
Mr.. John MCGUIRE, the Council Com
mittee on Ordinances last night tabled
the ordinance providing for q censor
for moving picture films. to be con-
sidered at a special meeting. the night
OF May 8.
The ordinance provides that the SUI
nerintendent Of public schools be given
the duty OF eensoring the pictures.
Mrs. Jobson explained that the ladies
of the Social Service Federation. rep
resenting ninetyahve societies and as
sociations. had discussed thes matter,
and that City Attorney Pollard had
prepared the ordinance. which at re =
quest OF the Federation had been in
troduced in the Board of Aldermen by
Alderman Adams.
DIR. Chandler states Views.
DR.. Chandler presented six brief
thoughts" in connection with the
proposition of making him the CEN
sor.
i, His frst duty was to the schools
of the city. and his time is fully taken
up with that duty.
Q He tries to obey all mandates OF
City Council. and IL that body requires
him to take up the duties OF censor
he will do the best he can,
g. He is unwilling to accept any
other office for a salary. He could
not hold two positions.
4. II Council insists that the OFFICE
be created. the body should place II
under the school department. so that
various officials of that department
may assist In the carrying out of the
requirements. and the name OF the
censor be placed on the picture.
8. II the Office should be established
as proposed. clerk would have to be
provided. and other assistance be fur
nished during the summer. as the
principals and others would not bs
available during that time.
6. He hopes that the office will not
be placed under either the superin-
tendent or the department.
DR.. Chandler Expressed the belief
that a board of censors embracing half
a dozen ladies would be acceptable.
as they would be more liberal. and
would, where there LIS a moral point ed
out, be slow in eliminating tho pie
ture,
Mr.. Mcclure said there should be a
censorship, and that II the women
were mose ienient than men, then the
board should ba made up OF men. He
said the moral Lessons are generally

Secret movements of American
troows have been made with an eye
10 this emergency. so that high army
officials now confidently state that
General Pershing is in position to
meet the worst contingency.
A TACT 10 ut Nv 1Cii-
