SCHOOL BOARD BILL [

Critics Call Measure Providing
for Election Of Members
Unconstitutional
FINEGAN IN FAVOR OF IT

Harrisburg. Pa. Feb. l6.-Repre
sentative Philip Sterling. Of Philadcl
phia. sponsor for the elective. unpaid
school board for his home city. was
suddenly confronted today with state
mcnts that his bill might he unconsti.
tutional because of the classification
provisions which make n distinction be
tween Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Two years ago. said Mr.. Sterling.
''thc supreme Court decided in two
"ascs that placing counties in the fifth
and seventh classes was unConstitu-
tional. There has never been a de-
riSlon on similar question with re-
spect TO school districts. Both of the
decisions in question were based on the
tact TINT the new county claSsificationS
were not justified because there was not
sufficient difference in population to
make the separate classifications expe-
di"nt or worth while
Points 10 Difference
On thc other hand. there is great dif-
fercnr" between the populations of the
school districts Of Pittsburgh and Phila
dclpha and hence there is justification
for the separate classification. and am
certain the courts would so hold. In

Lee Smith. chairman Of the House

Smith. II would say that the mem

Sterling bill.
There probably will be objections to
tho bill" said MIR. Watson. but
don think they will reach serious pro.
portions. believe il is the conviction
OF most people in Philadelphia that the
city should have an elective board. whose
members wauld always be mindful that
they were responsible TO the voters.
Salaries Mean Politics
"Thc tendency all over the country
has . b""n toward smaller boards. and
for that reason think an organization
OF seven members would efficiently han
die affairs in Philadelphia. Experience
has also shown that the best directors
can he procured when there is no salary
attached 10 the position. The moment
salaries are attached the board enters
the realm of politics. which would
undou btedly react to the detrmcnt Of
the schol system"
