DISPUTE NEAR END
Chiidren's Guardians and In

Agree Next Week.

\ final settlement of the dispute
dians and the trustees of the Indus
trial Home school is expected to be
brought about next week.
The arbitration committee of the
board OF guardians, headed by Chair
man W. W. MILAN. met this morning,
and. it is understood, discussed a
proposition from the home school
trustees.
Progress Is Reported.
I'VE matte progress was all that
Mr.. MILAN could say. following to-
days meeting. The chairman indi-
Gated that he could not disclose the
nature Of the settlement until he sees
Commissioner Rudolph, who will re
turn from his vacation Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The controversy arose over the pol
icy OF the board Of guardians in TAX
ing children from the home school
and placing them with private fami-
lies during the period of guardianship.
Continuation of this system would
have resulted in the abandonment of
the home school, it was said. When
the differences between the boards
became public there followed city
wide GIS>uSSto ton of the comparative
merits of institutional and private
home care for wards of the board of
guardians.

When the Commissioners took d
hand in the matter to bring about an
agreement the SuggC Stion was made TO
them that the school he retained as d
temporary receiving home.
W'hcther the settlement is being
made on that basis is not known, but
it is practically certain that whatever
agreement is reached will provide for
the continued use of the school under
certain stated conditions.
