Is the Senate Committee On
Schools "Butting In?"
By BILL PRIC f..

The breezy candor of DIR. JOHN VAN SCHAICK in
telling the Senate committee working upon local school
problems that Dr. THURSTON must go superintendent
of schools regardless of the possible views of the commit
tee will at least stamp Dr. Van Schaick having and
courage.
If the Board of Education is to stand pat
tive agency of the Government holding that Congress is
interfering with the duties of the executive branch then
Senator Harrison and the other Senators who agreed to the
investigation have simply wasted their time and that of
large number of people who called witnesses The
investigation would appear to have been of those
less things Of which Congress is so fond.
Congress has legal igh to dictate what executive
body shall do it is true but Congress does have the power
to abolish executive organization and substitute
other for it, That other body could easily if it desired,
Dr. THURSTON superintendent choose any other
man. 1t might select woman and not blunder
At any rate it is just well not to regard Dr. Van
Schaick's "tip" to the Senate what horse
would call "sure thing"
1t will be exceedingly difficult to find any noted edu-
Gator willing to accept position the tenure of which is
doubtful to say the least in view of the possibility that
Congress almost certain to gsate the present board
of existence and provide for the appointment of body
by the President that is to be the action to be taken
then the present board should permit the supernenency
to be settled by whatever machinery it. Much will
depend upon the findings of the Senate committee These
will have powerful moral if not legal influence upon the
and affairs Of the District school system
the present board remains as it is
So let's not consider Dr. Thurston "dead one" until
all the returns are in.
