Opposes Independent Plan.

Admitting that the present situation
Is a serious one, with both the city and
the Board of Education short of funds,
Mr.. Craig said he thought It would be
even more unwise TO empower the Board
Of Education to levy its own taxes for
school purposes. Under such a plan, he
said. there would be no money left to
run the other city departments.
Comptroller Craig denied that he was
attempting to control the educational
system through his control over school
expenses. He added the comment that
a commissioner of education might soon
suppIant the Board of Education.
Seventy-five delegates from this
State, New Jersey and Pennsylvania

the entire educational law in this State
would be rewritten.
Other speakers were Thomas K. Fine

REFUSES TO PAY AUDIT
Says Vouchers of Board
Fail to Give Purpose Of
Appropriations.
ETTINGER TALKS BACK
Says Craig Is 'Roosting on His
Way From Obscurity to
oblivion

The public school teachers OF this
city probably will have to wait several
weeks for January salaries, which are
due tomorrow, 1t was indicated yes
terday by Comptroller Charles l.. Craig
In a speech at a citizens conference on
education at the New. York State
Chamber of Commerce, 65 Liberty
street. Mr.. Craig declared that Henry
Cooke, auditor for the Board of Educa-
ton, had failed properly to make out
the vouchers for the salaries and that
he had refused to pay the audit until
the items were listed separately.
Mr.. Craig said that professional edu-
Gators and politics were to blame for
the differences between the Comp
troller's office and the Board Of Educa-
ton. The difficulty between the two
departments, he stated, lies in the
fact that the professional educators in
the schools insist upon expending
funds for purposes other than those
for which they were appropriated. He
said that this element in the schools
had been fighting for years to get
away from the present restraint in the
making of appropriations and dis
bursements which specifies the pur-
pose for which they are made.
The substance Of Mr. Craigs remarks
was transmitted to William Ettinger,
Superintendent Of Schools. and he paid
his respects to the Comptroller at a
luncheon at the Hotel Commodore,
which closed the three day educational
conference.
Would Separate Education.
II have been asked to reply to the
Comptroller said Mr.. Ettinger. 'but
am not going to do it. However. will
not be led from what I think is my
path of duty by any one. Comptroller
or anybody else. who happens to be
roosting at the Municipal Building on
his way from obscurity to oblivion"
Mr.. Ettinger also said that many of
Mr.. Craig's statements were misleading
Stroking his own bald head. he declared
that the ravages Of badness showed
the effects even more upon the head Of
the Comptroller. This quip evoked much
applause.
'The Board of Estimate never has
Deen Wiling 10 consider teacnerS sal
aries from the right standpoint" said
Mr.. Ettinger. THAT was as true back
in 1893 as 1t Is to-day. In that year
many teachers were forced to go hungry
and some of them we're evicted from
their quarters because their salaries
were held up.
''The auditor of the Board Of Educa-
ton has informed me of his trouble with
the Comptroller and has told me that II
is very likely that the teachers salaries
will be held up. We rather expect that.
for holdups are more or less character
lstic of the town."
Mr.. Ettinger advocated system
which would insure permanency of
salaries. the financial independence of
the Board of Education and a change
in the method of creating the board.
Comptroller Craig contended In his
speech that when the payrolls we're SUBJ
mitted he pointed out to the auditor
that they were overdue and that they
should have been prepared regularly
because the teachers needed their pay.
The auditor then told him. he said. that
he didn't care III the teachers are not
