Four Histories by Ameri-
can Authors Meet Con-
demnatiOn of Critics.
PASSAGES EXAGGERATED
Considered Peculiar That Only
Matters Concerning Eng
land Are Questioned.

Within the next few days a sub-com-
mittee of twenty-one school teachers
and principals will submit to the Board
of Superintendents OF the Department
of Education a report of their findings
in one Of the most curious contro-
versies that ever has arisen over the
public education of children in this
city.
The question to be decided by the
committee is nothing more or less than
whether history as it is being taught
in the schools to-day is a deliberately
inaccurate picture of the past of Amer
lea, manufactured for the purpose Of
placing England upon a pedestal and
undermining the patriotism OF youth
full pupils.
The charges that some OF the text
books being used in the schools were
wilfully pro British" and poisonous
to the mind of the coming generation"
first appeared last summer, and since
then have been kept alive by small
but active group of persons whose
only common bond. apparently. has
been to force the school authorities to
place a ban on the alleged offensive
publications.

pamphlets which he characterized as
petty and pettifogging. Taking each
i'm turn, THE NEW YORK HERALD infor.
mant said:
"It is true that In many of the text
books the account of Nathan Hale's
death Is left out. This is because the
event is considered episode. and there is
a tendency TO condense as much as pos
sible within the short space demanded In
concise schoolroom history. The ad-
vent OF the world war caused a great
many of the books to be rewritten. and
much material had to be restricted or
eliminated entirely.
Good Taste Offended.
Regarding the allusion to John Han
cock, / consider this to be an offence
against good taste. but the fact remains
that a great many of the merchants In
Boston and New York at that time were
recipients OF smuggled goods. The laws

they wouldn't have obtained any mer.
ohandise.
"rhe British soldiers undoubtedly
showed great courage at Bunker Hill.
"rhe offending passage in the nava
battle episode is unfair to the genera
description of the event, and Is lifted
bodily from the book without including
other paragraphs that present the fact!
as we know them.
".War Hawks was a term created by
pamphleteers, and should not be taker
seriously"
1t is claimed by those who defend the
present histories that in great many
other places there are remarks deroga'
tory to American institutions or states
men, but that the critics have concerned
themselves solely with those that relat'
to England. and the period in whicl
America. was at war with that country
1t is for this reason that some of the
members of the school body regard the
entire agitation as part Of the anti
British campaign being waged by the
radical element of the Sim Fein, ano
not a sincere effort to reform the educa
tional system in the schools, in so far as
1t relates to the teaching of American
history.
The subcommittee of twenty-one is to
have two meetings this week. one part
Of the committee considering it's re-
port on the books used In the elementary
schools, and the remainder preparing

They Ate 1t and
Say They Liked 1t

Four golfers had breakfast at the
Belleclaire at z o'clock one Sun
day morning in November. They
ate 4 Baked Apples, 4 Pieces OF
Salt Mackerel, 4 portions of Po-
tatoes hashed in cream, 4 por-
lions of fresh American Bread
and Butter, and they drank
4 Pots of Coffee.
The men in the party were: Gil i.
Hodges, long associated with the
Frank A. Munsey publications
Morris b. Aleshire, associated
with Calkins & Holden; Harry
ID. Wood, connected with the
wholesale house of Marshall Field
& Company, New York, and
William G. Freeman, associated
with Z. Il. Howard Co., Inc.
They said they never ate better
breakfast-that it took them
back to their youth when the
regular Sunday morning break
fast consisted of salt mackerel,
potatoes, fresh baked bread and
coffee.
Do you wonder that these four
men, after such breakfast, mo-
tored happily and swiftly to the
Sleepy Hollow golf course and
played SO holes without getting
tired?
You may have such a breakfast
any morning at the Belleclaire
Come and try it. All say it j:

NEW JURY; NO GRIMES.
Putnam County Body Organizes
and Goes Home.

Members OF the Putnam County
Grand Jury organized yesterday before
County Judge ]. Bennett Southard and
then went home because there was no
crime to investigate.
Frank O'Brien Of Brewster was ap-
pointed by Judge Southard as fore
man. The judge told them the county
deserves praise for being such a model
of law and order, thanked them for
appearing and told them they were ex-
cused. Rhinelander Waldo, who has a
large estate in Putnam Valley. was
drawn to serve, but did not appear.

Anti-British Charges.

One of the principal agitators was
Charles Grant Miller OF 100 St. Marks
place. Staten Island, who wrote series
of articles in one of the recognized anti
British newspapers last summer, and
who has appeared several times at the
various hearings held by the sub-com-
mittee. Several of these protests have
been gathered together in pamphlet
form and printed under the title
Treason to American Tradition" and
distributed to the Board OF Superinten-
dents and practically all OF the public
school principals in the five boroughs.
While many of the charges were re-
garded as exaggerated and unfounded,
sufficient Importance was attached to
Mr.. Mller's views and those who sup
ported him TO cause a subcommittee to
be appointed by Superintendent William
Ettinger to give careful study to the
text books in question and hear per-
sonally all complaints.
One of the principals of a public
school in Brooklyn followed Mr.. Miller's
charges by a stormy protest against So
called "anti-American" sentiments ex-
pressed in some Of the principal text
books used in the public schools
BY degrees other societies and organ
izations became interested In the ques-
ton and there have been quite sizable
representations of complainants at the
few times the committee met to con-
slider the complaints in open session.

Five Chief Accusations.

The more specific charges, beyond the
general accusation of pro-British feeling
actuating the authors throughout the
books, are as follows:
1. The elimination Of the account
of the heroic death of Nathan Hale.
2. The description of John Hancock
as "smuggler.'
