Counsel Burr to draw bill which
would Iegislate out Of existence the
board of examiners of the Department
OF Education, Mayor Hylan yesterday
reinforced his attack on the examiners.
whom he blames for the shortage Of
teachers, by asking Aiming S. Prall,
president of the Board of Education,
TO take up the question of amending
the boards rules so as to curb the pres
ent arbitrary power and methods" of
the examiners.
The Mayor contends that if the board
were abolished, teachers might quality
from their examinations in the high
and training schools. and the required
sized this in his letter to Mr., Prall. but
as the Legislature may not act he sug-
gested that the Board of Education
take the matter in their own hands.
State Law Protects Examiners
The Board of Examiners Aoid Office
under the state education law. and lit
tie can be done along the lines of the
Mayors suggestion except by amend
ment to the law Mr. Prall said last
night that the statute would have to be
amended to give the Board of Educa-
ton any real control over the board
Of examiners, which, he said exercised
"eNtremely arbitrary powers. The
Board of examiners consists of four
members-Jamcs c. Byrnes, Walter L.
Hervey Jerome A. O'Connell and
George J. Smith. with DR.. William L.
Ettinger. superintendent OF Schools. as
chairman eN otficio. The examiners
were appointed by the old Board Of
Education several years ago. and re-
ceived $4,000 each year.
Dr. Ettinger took issue with the
Mayor in the matter of the examiners.
II every student in the training schools
could at once be inducted INTO the city's
service. DR.. Ettnger said, there would
still be a shortage Of teachers. He
granted that a simpliticaton Of the OK
animation would not react against the
efficiency OF the instructng staff, but
insisted that this was not the reason
why there are not enough teachers
The percentage of graduates who
take the eligibility examination to
teach and who pass is too large to
indicate that the requirements Of the
itoard of Education drive away pros
pective teachers" the superintendent
said. There are too few teachers in
the training schools. and those who are
graduated are not finding it difficult
TO meet the reasonable requirements
The shortage Is due 70 inadequate COM
pensation. as shown by the fact that
800 teachers resigned last year. and
in the period from September ] to
February l 800 withdrew to take up
other work.
