| FARLEY POSTPONED
Civic Leaders to Discuss
Proposed Changes Next
Wednesday Afternoon.

The conference of civic leaders which
was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon
to consider starting a campaign for a
new school law has been postponed
until Wednesday Of next week.
This was announced today by Joseph
Hurley, president Of the City EN-
pioyes' Association. which called the
conference. Mr.. Hurley said many Of
the men invited are 50 active in victory
loan work that it was decided to have
them meet next week. He also ex,
planned that while his association was
the purpose is to conduct the move
ment independent of any particular or
ganization.
At preliminary meeting held last
week the most important suggestion
for a change in the present school law
was to divide the city into nine school
districts and authorize the citizens
associations in each district to elect
one member of the board of education.
At present the members of the school
board are appointed by the judges OF
the District Supreme Court.
Mr.. Oyster May Be Chairman.
Mr.. Hurley said James F. Oyster.
former member of the school board,
would be invited to preside as chair
man OF the next conference. Mr..
Oyster stated today he had not yet
received the invitation. 1t also was
stated today that after the organiza-
tion gets under way the present school
authorities would be invited to work
with the committee in revising the
school law.
George E. Hamilton. president of the
school board, stated yesterday that
he had no knowledge Of the move
ment other than what he had read in
the newspapers. 1t is known that
some of the school board feel that it
would not be proper for the school
board to join in an outside movement
in working for changes in the school
Jaw.
Those who take this view explain
that they are but the agents Of Con-
gress designated to carry out the
present organic act of 1905 and that
If they decided any Of the provisonis
of the act were Inadequate for an
efficient management of the schools
today, the logical thing for tho board
to do would be to make its sugges-
tions direct to Congress.
