the strike situation IA quiet. The
only property damage reported on

Strike leaders declined 70 discuss

SCORES CRITICS
In Address at Church De-
nounces Opponents of His
School Administration,

| For the first time during his ad
ministration Of the Colored publ,
school system Asst. Supt. Roscoe c
Bruce publicly answered and de.
nounced his critics TAT meeting o
the School Welfare League last nigh
in the Wesley A. NJ. T.. Church. 14ti
and Corcoran streets. More than 1.OOt
persons crowded every available
space in the cdifice to hear the Cooret
school official, while it is estimated that
at least a similar number were turned
away.
Outlines Constructive Policies.
Mr. Bruce opened his address by
outlining what he termed the con
structive policies instituted in the
colored schools since he has been in
charge. and concluded by reading q
letter he sent to Or. Van Schaick. jr.
former president of the board of edu-
cation. which was published. in part
in The Evening Star Monday. The
speech. which consumed nearly three
hours, was marked by frequent out
bursts of applause. Contrary to the
expectation of n heavy guard of po-
licemen detailed inside and outside
the church. there was no disturbing
element in the large audience.
Attacking the Parents League
which has for several years been cam
paigning for his removal from office,
Mr.. Bruce characterized its members
as a group of persons who were de
liberately fomenting class animosity."
He also branded the organization as
a sinister combination"
He gave a detailed account of the
Moens case from it's inception to the
present time. and presented facts which
he declared proved conclusively that he
had no connection with the anthropolo-
gist's activities in the, colored schools
Places Blame ON DIR. Van Schaick.
He placed the blame for this affair
entirely on DR. Van Schaick, and read
the testimony of the former board presi-
dent before the Senate select committee
which investigated the school system
in which he said he was responsible for
granting Moons permission to carry on
his alleged scientific work in the colored
schools.
Accounts of other incidents which led
to criticism of his administration also
We're outlined in detail by Mr.. Bruce
Among those he mentioned were the re-
tirement of Miss Lucy e. Moten, former
principal of the Miner Normal School,
and the assignment Of the teachers
graduating from the Normal School.
Mr.. Bruce reiterated his statement
that he would not voluntarily resign,
although he said he had been asked to
do so by DIR. Van Schaick.
