French WarOrphan
Here to Meet Her
14O Foster Mothers
Col. Edward Green Acting as
Godfather 10 Girl, IL, on
Her Way to School at
the Wilkes.Barre Institute

A demure little French girl passed
through the hands of the Ellis Island
immigration authorities yesterday and
entered the United States, smiling
family but nevertheless unterritied by
the prospect of having lao mothers
She is Mile. Jeanne Taupaud, twelve
years old, whose father was killed in
the war, and was selected from among
all the thousands of French war
orphans to be the foster daughter Of
40 alumna and students of the Wilkes
Barre Institute. college preparatory
school for girls at Wilkes Barre, Pa.
In addition, although she probably
left a parrain as we'll as a MARIAN in
France, she has an American god
father in the person of Colonel f. H.
Green, son of the late Hetty Green
Colonel Green's semi parentship arises
from the fact that his ward, Miss Ruth
Lawrence, a sxteeny ear-old pupil, is
one of the 140 mothers, and induced
him to provide the money for the
passage of Wilkes Barrels adopted
child.
Colonel Green Goes to Her Aaid
Jeanne arrived on the steamship La
Lorraine Friday but because of the
fact that neither parent nor guardian
accompanied her there were some
INN grafton regulations to be satisfied
before she could be released into the
processes of becoming an American.
Colonel Green and Miss Alice NJ.
Olcott, principal of the institute, met
her at the pier, but they had to visit
Ellis Island to comply with the mmi-
entry into the United States.
Colonel Green and Miss Olcott. on
behalf of themselves and the 40
mothers, assured the government
agents there was no danger of Jeanne
becoming a public charge or Grim
inal anarchist. Miss Olcott is offic ally
her guardian.
Wilkes Barre Institute enthusiastic
cally adopted the idea of mothering a
French war orphan several months ago.
The girls wanted to be sure of adopt
ing just the right kind of orphan, and
delegated the task of choosing to Miss
Scott, head of the department of Eng
lish, and Mile. Nagurier, of the College
Seviene, in Paris. They selected

been employed in factory.
Amazed at New York
Arrangements were made with the
mother, and since Wilkes Barre re-
ceived a cable message conveying the
information that Jeanne had sailed the
girls there have been impatient for a
glimpse of her.
Jeanne displayed considerable sang
froid both on the voyage and at Ellis
Island, considering the fact that she
was coming into situation beyond all
possible conception. She talked vol
ubly in French to Miss Olcott on the
way from Ellis Island, and was properly
amazed by the skyline OF New York. of
whose like, she said, she never even had
dreamed

Dual School Power
Is Called ''Unwise''
By Education Body
Attempt to Make President
of Board of Trustees
Equal to Superintendent
Termed playing Politics.

Efforts Of the Hylan faction in the
public school system to make the presi-
dent of the Board of Education a "co-
ordinate executive" with the School
superintendent ELECTED protest yes
terday from the Public Education Asso-
citation. In the current issue of it's
"Bulletin' the association declares
that the bylaw providing for this
sharing of authority and respons biity
would result in the decentralization of
the entire personnel of the school de-
partment
The bylaw is one of those proposed
by opponents of DR.. William L. Ettin-
ger, City School Superinter dent. and
brought before DR.. John H. Finley,
State Commissioner of Education, for
review.
Mayor Defends Bylaw
Defending it, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Mayer, appearing for the
Board of Education, declared that the
president OF the board, a political
officer, should be invested with joint
authority over school department per-
sonnet, in case it should ever be neces-
sary, between the monthly meetings
of the board, to counteract any out
rageous" conduct on the part of the
superintendent.

reputable over nigh. >" the Public Edu-
cation Association asks 'And If
he should, is there any earthly reason
why a special meeting of the board
could rot be called promptly. by tele-
phone if necessary, to deal with him =?
ut is difficult for the average citizen
to see any reason in such a conten-
tion," the Bulletin" proceeds. why
there should be created multiplicity
of coordinate chief executives to con-
duct and control the regular work of
the system from day to day in orde r
to take care OF such remote con-
tingency is indeed mystery Why
should the schools be kept in contnu-
Gus turmoil merely for the sake of
handling over night such far fetched
hypothetical situation? 1t is pre-
posterous.
Danger Pointed Out
'On the other hand, it is not difficult
to imagine how a single individual on
a lay board OF more or less political
appointees, which the president of the
Board OF Education undoubtedly is
could exercise such an arbitrary and
tremendous power for political reasons
or hold it IN reserve TOR the purpose
of coercion.
Aside. then, from the fatal con-
fusion that would result in the orderly
running OF the schools from day to day
because of such dual control created
for the mere purpose of meeting an
extremely remote emergency, the
metho do handling such an en- argency
which Mr.. Mayer defends would seem
to he improper and dangerous.
The average citizen will await with
interest and concern the, judicial de-
termination of the Legal aspects OF
this vital matter by the Commissioner
o. Education. Meanwhile Re VIII nc
