Rev. DR.. Garter, Forbidden
to Discuss Irish or Jewish
Problems. Resigns Post
Under Education Board

The Rev. DR. William Carter, pa -.
Of the Throop Avenue Presbyterian
Church, Brooklyn, yesterday made
public a letter he had sent 10 Ernest L.
Crandal, supervisor Of lectures for the
Board Ct Education. in which Dr..
Carter gives his reasons for resigning
- q current events lecturer for the
Board of Education.
Dr. Carter's references to TOPICS per
tinent to the racial question. and par
ticuiarly to the Irish question, a well
as his illusions to the troubles Of the
Hylan administration with regard to
the Investigation Of the Lockwood com
mittee, are said to have made him un-
popular with administration followers
Dr.. Carter objected to letter from
CrandaM, in which the minister says
the supervisor urged the soft pedal or
various topics to be discussed by the
school lecturers. In his communica-
ton 10 Crandall announcing his resig-
nation DR.. Carter says:
You suggest IN your letter that we
refrain from discussing the Jewish
and lrish' questions. Are these no.
current events? Why then are we to
be gagged and muzzled in regard to
tnese particular things when you deiii-
nitely said in your written Instructions
at the beginning Of the course: Each
lecturer shall oe free to express his
own convictions upon any subject. save
. religious topic, even though such
subject be controversial one ?"
trlEGAI, IN ms letter. DR. (ar+a,.
says, took the position that the Jews
and the Irish were "uNder the lash.'
and advanced that as reason Why lee
tprers should no. discuss them. DR.
Garter responds by saying that the
Germans, the English, the Japanese.
the Armenians, the Russians. the Hyl2n
admlnlstration and virtually everyth nr
and everybody are under the lash. -
II CrandaiPs rule were to be enforced
10 the letter, the minister says, there
would be nothing left to discuss
