 ABOUT SCHOOL ITEMS
Dr. Martin Charges That Three Teach CTS Recently Resigned in New Elihu Burritt School, But Members We're
  Not Told Why-He Also Says Supt. Holmes Did Not Tell Board of His Interest in Morrison Bill.

Holmes Did Not Tell Board of His
 Interest in Morrison Bill.
 Speaking this morning to reporter Dr. J. E. Martin of the school board explained his resolution which was reported to have caused some com- m4nt at the meeting of the board yes- terday. Its purpose was to shake up the present committees and have a. change of members, the doctor says. Thus the teachers committee would have new caliber and the finance com mittee would also have new mem bers These two are the only important committees of the entire board. There is a committee on vocational schools which never meets. There is a minor committee of three on evening schools which have met twice since organiza- ton. The committee on school &C., commodations is an important com- mittee only when new schools are being built in the city and then it may become inactive for two or more years A committee on health and sanitation is but mockery and in six years time that committee has m ct but twice, once for ten minutes and the second time for three minutes on the corner in front Of the National bank building" Dr. Martin says. It was the purport of his resolution, he explained, to have the members on these small committees appointed to the important, ones and break up what he calls the steady and unknown system existing on the committees He says it is a fact that the school board is never told of the hiring of janitors or their discharge and adds that it is comm only known that there has been much trouble In obtaining men for that work.
 Doctor Professes Ignorance.
 The people of the city think that the members of the school board know what is going on in all the school and even on the board Dr. Martin denies this and states that he has had incredible reports made to him by people interested in the schools, but he has known nothing of the conditions through the board. Recently three members of the teach ing staff of the New Elihu Burritt school resigned. The board members saw their names on the lists of those resigned but was not told why the teachers resigned d., he charges. A friend of one of the teachers approached him. the doctor says, asking him why she resigned and chided him when he said he didn't know but probably the committee on teachers did know and he would try and find out. Such con- ditions have been existing for some time but the opposition on the part of members of the board is not strong enough yet to have effect, he asserts. There are other members of the board besides himself, Dr. Martin says. who confess that they do not know what is going on but when it comes time for meeting they do not stand firm and try to have some say in the matter.
 Says Holmes Kept Quiet.
 Asked this morning if MT Holmes ever told the board of his interest in

never been so popular Of late as at
this season. An interesting model OF
this kind has been shown in Leg
horn model, the brim slinting to fran
tastic heights. and over it an ostrich
feather of blue flutters in confusion.
In the back, pillows of brown tulle,
uasscd high, are responsible for the
dangerous tilt in front.
Like al other spring apparel and
accessories this season, severity and
somberness Of the war period has
been laid aside and the new millinery
will in turn bloom forth with all the
icyousness of victory. Straw, Of
course. will be one of the most popu-
lar Of hat materials, but in most
cases il will be combined with bit
Of satin or taffeta.
A new note in spring millinery will
be the use Of straw as trimming, such
as straw feathers and fringe. The
newest trimmings for summer hats,
however, are ermine tails, sable and
moleskin. Paradise feathers, though
costly. are l. ed as a victory feature
on satin, lace or tulle bonnets. How
ever, substitutes, such as ostrich and
osprey, especially the new glycerin-
i2ed ostrich. win be no less popular.
AS a whole, the new spring milli-
merry may blossom forth at its will,
with all the severity Of the wartime
Season abandoned.
