Rather than let her offical connection
with the Home and School League of
Philadelphia silence her criticisms Of
the Board of Education. Mrs. Edwin c.
Grice, the leagues founder and first
president, has resigned from its di
rectorate.
The league. which was founded twelve
years ago by Mrs, Grice, has men,
bership of more than 10000 men and
women and has branch organizations in
nearly seventy schools. About thirty
organizations, including the leading wo
mems clubs, are affiliated with the league
in its work for the betterment of public
education in this city.
II am uncompromisingly against the
Board of Public Education" Mrs. Grice
said today in explaining why she resign
ed from the leagues board of directors.
She retains her membership in the or
ganization.
Calls Board Undemocratic
Understand, there is nothing personal
in my opposition to the gentlemen of the
board" Mrs. Grice continued. 'T am
opposed to it because it is undemo-
cratic. The members are simply unap-
proachable. The children in the public
schools hero are being defrauded. When
ever a system is conducted behind closed
doors, whenever YOU have no court of
appeal. it is extremely difficult, IL not.
impossible, to obtain Justice"
Mrs. Grice's resignation was accepted
last night at a meeting of the league
in the WideneT Free Library, Broad
street and Girard avenue. In her letter
of resignation she said:
caunot apDaar to take a DOSitiOn
In which I will not offer criticism Of
the Board OF Education. l should feel
myself traitor to my city if were to
stand by and see such gross wrongs be-
ing done to the children of Philadelphia"
When she founded the Home and
School League twelve years ago, Mrs
Grice was elected its first president
She served for four years and was
succeeded by Albert f.. Turner, then
served for two more years as president
after Mr.. Turner's term expired. The
present president is S. d, Benoliel.
Explains Leagues Policy
After the meeting last night. Mr.
Benoliel explained why the Home and
School League has committed itself to
a policy favorable to the Board of Edu-
cation. He emphasized that there has
been no personal controversy between
Mrs. Grice and other league officials
THE Home and School League" he
said, has among its members many
teachers and principals. They FELT that
they could not wisely attend the meet
ings II criticism were to be directed
against the Board of Education, who
are their superiors. TIE league often
meets in schoolhouses and aims to be a
part of the school system itself. For
