School Issue May Hurt. !
!. Van Schaick $ Chances :
Z. of Being COMMISSIONS

The issue between Rev. John Van
Schaick, jr, and other members OF the
board of education on the one hand
and Supt. Thurston of the schools on
the other. is likely to have an effect
upon the disposition by the Senate Of
the nomination Of DR.. Van Schaick to
be District Commissioner, 1t was said
at the Capitol today.
While members of the Senate Dis
trict committee were reluctant to al
low themselves to be quoted. on the
matter. the general opinion of those
who have been opposing the confirma-
tion Of DR.. Van Schaick was that this
new situation in the school system
would react against DR.. Van Schaick.
1t was pointed out that undoubtedly
the friends of Supt. Thurston would
now align themselves with the oppo-
nents of the confirmation of DR.. Van
Schaick's nomination as Commits
siOner.
However, some of the senator's on
the committee who voted to report the
nomination favorably said they did
not believe that the controversy be-
tween the board and the superintend-
ent of schools would hurt the chances
of DIR. Van Schaick. In fact, one of
his supporters said:
Il am more inclined than ever to IA
vor the confirmation Of DR.. Van
Schaick."
This is a reflection of feeling among
some of the members Of the commit
tee against Supt. Thurston.
