SCHOOL
EVENTS IN CITY
Visit the School Week Being
Observed Here With Spe-
ciaI Programs

The local educational movement
is being given a move forward by the
activities that are being carried on
this week, designated by the state
commissioner as visit-the-school
week. This institution, which is
held annually, was advanced three
months, being generally held in
February, but has proven a greater
success than this year because of
the more opportune season. Invita-
tions were extended to all the par
ents of the city to come to the
schools in which their children are
enrolled particularly this week when
they can gain an idea of what is be-
ing done by the public school system
and the methods of procedure.
At schools 6 and s Paul Steele,
the principal, has put forth excep-
tional effort to attract the parents.
Coinciding with American Education
Week, as it does, this period is being
made the most of and speakers have
been secured TO tell the children and
their parents the value of an educa-
ton. This afternoon at School 6 j.
Logan Clevenger talked to the pupils
upon this subject and tomorrow a
speaker will be heard at School s.
AS the last day of visit-the-school
week, parents are urged to attend
any of the sessions tomorrow.
Some time in February the high
school will hold special night ses-
sions which will enable those who
cannot attend in the day to see the
work done at night. Regular classes
will be held. the afternoon sessions
being eliminated for the period. No
special features will be prepared ex-
cept, perhaps, in the gymnasium.

WATERS CHALLENGES CLARK
IN REFUTING CHARGES
Continued from page y

The newt move was made by Wat
ere who taking the floor said that
he wanted to be peaceful, but that
if Mr.. Clark wanted to play poll
tics, she cannot play with me-" He
claimed that "Clark's attack on
audit action reading from the
Evening News was all a misrepre-
sentation on the part of the fifth
ward alderman and done to dis
credit him. He declared that 1t was
a direct reflection on him as he is
chairman CT the finance committee
and responsible for the audit of the
city books He added that he fail
ed to see what Mr.. Clark has against
Braverman & Smith, who were
awarded the contract for the city
audit.
They are local men" he said,
"and fully able to do the work eff
iciently."
He also refuted Mr.. Clark's claims
as to the way the audit action was
put through.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger was
brought into the discussion then by
Mr.. Clark who said he was only at
lacking the opinions of the legal rep
resentative of t~herboard. He spoke
at length on this matter, using the
same arguments as he advanced at
Monday nights session.
But Mr.. Waters was ready with an
answer and he defended City At
torney Goldberger in continuing his
( stand against the attacks of his fifth
ward colleague.
Il recommended that the local
firm bekgaged to do the work and
| am sorry to see them attacked.
This body takes the advice of the
city attorney be IL good or bad and
so do I.
CLARK is wrong. I think. The re-
cent test cas (Which was cited by
the city attorney is his %opinion),
shows that. Commissioner of Munic-
ipal Accounts Darby has also rued
10 that effect. Clark does not see
the wisdom of the matter. He an
not understand that advertising for
work to be done with a pick and
shovel is different than hat Of pro-
fessional services such as a city au-
dit. The supreme court ruled TO that
effect and Clark can go as far as
he wants
Alderman Clark here held that
Mr.. Waters was unreasonable ana

~torney's opinions. He also declared
hat he was justified in the matter.
It's not so much what Clark has

Waters fired back. IT'S what has
been said outside"
He accused Mr.. Clark of causing
| talk on the street concerning his
action in passing on the vote when
the city redistricting matter came
up for it's first reading. At hat time
he declared that he wanted time to
study the matter.

head all right. There was plenty of

Monday night Alderman Waters
voted against the redistrictins ordi-
nance.
II am not political enough for
Clark. 1 guess" said Mr.. Waters.
CLARK was ten feet ahead of you
fellows all the time"
1t was taken to mean that Alder
man Clark was ten feet ahead of the
rest in the general street discussion
that followed the redistricting move,
which is now being held up by the

Graham yesterday.
The meeting terminated while
