School System Is Kept
Going Despite Conditions.

'Tnder all these conditions. the
schools have been kept running.
Every serious condition has been met
and met effectively as far as X was
in my power. Essentials have been
separated from non essentials and
most vital matters have received first
consideration. Emergencies have been
met sIuarely. and l have not hesi-
tated to assume full responsibility to
keep the schools moving. The recent
night school crisis is an illustration.
"The board of education in its
charges has stated no criticism of
me in the educational field. 1t is
well to say, however. that even in
the extreme stress Of general con-
dittons during the last two or three
years have not failed to look ahead,
and to lead or give full cooperation

Opposition to Mr.. Bruce
Became Acute Last Year,

EARLY in 1919 opposition to Mr.
Bruce on the part of a section of the
public became acute. Finally the
board of education. on July 80. 1919
on motion Of DR.. Learned, took the
following action:
THAT committee of the board OF
education. three in number, be named
by the president of the board of edu-
cation to take promptly such steps as
they may deem necessary to investi-
gate the question Of the administra-
tive and educational efficiency Of Ros-
coe c. Bruce. assistant superintendent
of schools of the District of Colum-
bra
THAT the aforesaid committee OF
three be authorized to make a care
full report to the board Of their find
ings. with such recommendations as
they see fit to make
"Dr. Learned, Mr.. Peyton and Mrs
Cook were appointed the committee.
AT meeting held October l, 1919
the following resolution was adopted
Resolved. that We concur in the
findings OF the majority of the special
committee appointed on July 80 to in
vestigate the educational and admin
istrative efficiency Of Mr.. Bruce-that
he is competent to fill the position OF
assistant superintendent of colored
schools of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Peyton dissented in a strong
minority report.
Il am entering this record not for
the purpose of discussing Mr. Bruce
but for the purpose of making clear
certain facts relative to the treatment
of the superintendent in this case
which I think should be understood
by the public.
I'm appointing the committee. Presi-
dent Van Schaick stated that while
sessions would be secret, members OF
the board were free to attend. AS su-
perintendent I have a seat on the
board, yet when I started to attend
these secret hearings I was informed
by DR.. Learned that could not be
present.
''Dr. Learned also informed me that
he expected to show that Mr.. Bruce's :
troubles were due to his 'superiors.
That could only refer to the superin-
tendent or to the board. The state
newt is worth weighing.
The investigation then went on.
The entire hearing was secret and
without the safeguard of legally ad-
ministered oaths. Although Mr..
Bruce's administrative fitness was
under investigation. the superintend-
ent. his Immediate superior, was
neither allowed to be present during
the sessions nor was he summoned
as witness.

Relations of Mr.. Thurston

treatment. Nor does all that 1 say

There are, of course, those who have
