Promotion Method
For Tcache ers Is
Attacked by Union
cooperation Of Various Or
carnations Needed to
Bring Out Best Ideals for
Education, Report Says

Present methods OF selecting teach
ars for promotion are faulty and
V"iueless. says the Tcachcts' Union,
N ITS reply, made public yesterday. to
the qucstionnaire sen. ont by the
BOARD Of School superintendents to
various teachers organizations.
ne qualifications for the higher
positions IN The servicc.' the union as
serts, should be ascertained and ex-
pressed through the collective efforts
OF the teachers them selves. It should
be be entirety practical for tho present
Board of Superintendent to issue an
appeal to the great body e teachers,
either directly or indirectly. through
the organizations. Ihis appeal should
state the need Of definite qualifications
Of service ard the need OF democratic
support to ideals after they are formu-
lated.
Ideals as Public Issue
"Whcn these ideals of service are
formulated by the representatives of
the teachers elected for that purpose
the adoption of the ideals should be
brought clearly before the Board of
Education as public issue. In this
way there is the possibility Of binding
all branches of the teaching, supervis-
ing and administrative service to CON
slstent application of the ideals in the
selection of teachers for the higher
positions.
"The present system of selecting
teachers for the higher positions com,
pels teachers to be Candidates. The
teachers believed to be fitted for GER
tain Positions should be sought by
those authorized to appoint In this
way others beside the self-seekers
would be available to the service Of the
city.
ANY mcthod Of kceping record Of
the conspicuous service of teachers
which depends for its execution on the
IDEAS ana preferences of one OF few
individuals in CHARGE Of a branch Of
the service would be liable to fail be-
cause it would force slavish con
formity to the known or supposed
ideals Of the official or officials with
power This would result, further
moro, in the discouragcment Of the
moro alert or independent minds in the
teaching staff and the ultimate keep
ing out Of young men and women Of
character and ability who might other
wise enter the profession Of teaching
at appears to the Teachers Union
that our school system finally must
face this problem in the spirit Of the
present age, the age Of democracy
After the school system has availed it
self of the democratic method in the
formulation and adoption Of ideals of
service, it must logically follow with
the selection Of officials by tYe same
method.
"What the nature Of conspicuous
service is, or the Importance OF that
service, should be matter to be de
termined largely by the persons who
work together and seek by common
effort to create t best conditions for
the public work Of teaching. This
method not only seems inevitable by
virtue of the spirit Of the age, but il
is also in our opinion the only method
which will establish confidence within
q teaching staff that ia given to wide
spread cynicism because of the long
history of faulty administrative meas.

Eugene VI. Travis is casting about for
man who is willing to take $4,000
chance on the possibility of collecting
an Inheritance tax for the state on the
property IL New York formerly owned
By the late Ni,count Astor

about s60oQ0.oo0, was transferred in

his death. Comptroller Travis believes

lcctcd eventually if il car be proved
hat the transfer was made in antici-
patton Of death to avoid taxation.
The appraiser appointed would have
10 make exhaustive inquiries and prob
ably conduct a tedious litigation. His
expenses are estimated at $4,000,
which would come out of his own
pocket. His reimbursement would de-
pend unor his success, in which case
