TEACHER FAILS TRYING

Admit Wrong.

Trenton, N. J.-Pupils cannot be COM
PEELED to apologize to their teacher, &C.
cording to ruling of the state depart
ment Of education.
The decision is a victory for Edward
Boyd, a sixth grade grammar school
pupil in Bergentield, accused of disre-
spect to his teacher, Miss Gertrude
Morton. He refused to apologize. The
board Of education ordered him dis
missed until he should make the
amends the teacher demanded.
According to Assistant State Com
missioner of Education John Enright,
teachers or boards of education cannot
make a rule providing for the enforce
ment of an apology. There is abundant
authority for a board of education. to
suspend pupil If there Is good cause.
he said. ...
The error of the Bergenfeld board
was in suspending young Boyd indefi-
nitely. If the suspension was made for
definite time the state department
would uphold it.
Pupils should be suspended for def
ance of authority and bad conduct, but
temporary dismissals should be based
upon the primary cause and not be-
cause Of the refusal Of pupil to apol-
ogize.
Young Boyd had been out of school
since November 81. Believing he has
been punished sufficiently, the assistant
commissioner ordered him reinstated
in his class.

MED Thomas w. Lawson's charges
that White told him Pliny Fisk had
boosted to him about his alleged con-
troll Of Secretary McAdoo.
"It's all romance" White declared.
II never mentioned Fisk's name to
Lawson"
White was declared by Lawson to
have told him that Fisk had boosted
to him that he controlled Secretary
McAdoo and had offered to call the
secretary from his bed by telephone
at 1870 a. m to prove his assertion.
AS a result of this denial, coupled
with similar one by Pliny Fisk, CON-
mitteemen expressed belief that the
length Of the hearings here had been
shortened materially. Some said
they probably would close within three
or four days.
The name Of Count Won Bernstorff
was brought into the inquiry again
in questions put to White. Sherman
L. Whipple, counsel for the committee,
wanted to know If just prior to the
publication of the presidents note
White had arranged a meeting be-
tween the German ambassador and
Lawson.
White, after saying he had fire.
quently entertained Bernstorff at his
home here and they were friends of
long standing, testified that Lawson
had sought to have him arrange a
meeting with the ambassador, but that
the request had been made at least a
year and half ago.
Whipple inquired closely into
Whites friendship with Lawson dur
ing the period prior to the publica.
ton Of the note.
He developed that the two frequent.

not admit they had discussed the ef-
