Barring OF SCHOOL
REQUESTS SOUGHT
Association Argues Its e.
forts Are Hampered by
Secrecy Of Board.

The board of education is required
by the organic act Of 1906 to discuss
In open meeting the recommendations
ers for annual appropriations. COM
mittee from the District Public School
Association argued before Corpora
ton Counsel Stephens yesterday aft
ernoor.
The Public School Association is
contending that it was organized to
support all moves for the improve
ment of the school system and that
it cannot carry out that purpose un-
less 1t is informed as to what the
school board asks for. H.
The corporation counsel ruled re-
Gently that under the provision of
law forbidding the Commissioners
from revealing their estimates before
they are laid before Congress. the
things asked for by the school board
cannot be made public, since school
estimates are a part OF the Commits
sioners' budget.
The school association came back
at Mr.. Stephens with the act of 1906
governing the actions of the schoS.
board. The committee cited section
of that act which says that all meet
ings of the board of education, except
those at which the appointment OF
teachers Is discussed. shall be public.
The committee argued that under
that law the school board specifically
is directed to admit the public to all
other sessions.
The committee agreed with Mr..
Stephens THAI after the school figures
have been rNised by the Commits
sioners they are then the estimates
of the Commissioners and not sub
ject TO publication. The speak
argued. however, that until the Com
missioners approve or disapprove of
them they are not estimates, but
only recommendations of the school
authorities.
The committee was composed of
julius I. Peyser, Gen. Samuel T. An
sell. Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter and
Harold Keats. Mr.. Stephens took their
arguments under Amusement
