Manley Denies Bill
Would Put Schools
Back in Politics

samuel L. Manley, q leader Of the
group of citizens supporting the pro-
posed amendment of the Augusta
city Charter in regard to those sec
ions affecting the school board. has
made the following statement in re-
ply to the argument Of many citizens
that the proposed amendments would
throw the board back into politics:
The best answers to the criticism
that the appointment by the Mayor
OF the members Of the Board Of Edu-
cation would throw the matter into
partisan politics are:
First: The character Of Augusta's
mayors for the last 20 years, Lendall
I,tcomb. Gustavus A. Robertson,
Charles S. Hitchborn, Frederick w.
Plaisted. Treby Johnson. Reuel J.
Noyes, Elmer e. Newbert, Blaine S.
Viles Willis E. Swift, Burleigh Mar
tin. Sanford l.. Fogg, Ernest l.. Nc
Lean.
Does anyone honestly believe that
any Of these men would play poll
tics with our Schools? Most Of them
are now living right here in Augusta,
and l venture to suggest that enquiry
Of any Of them will at once dispel this
fear.
Second: AS a matter OF fact, a de-
S'SA'S hioJoiity VI tIlc IilSIuDSIS VI IIS
Board of Education has always been
of one political faith. but no one has
ever accused it Of playing politics
with School Matters, even if one
member did change his politics just
about the time he was elected to the
Board.
Third: The principle Of non-parti-
san Boards is settled, and think well
settled.
Fourth: The Mayor now appoints
all Augustus principal officers, and
this provision of our charter has
worked we'll since its adoption few
years ago. There has been no log
rolling in the City Council, and the
Mayor-the Chief Executive officer Of
the city-has had the responsibility
for the management of the city's
affairs, and has been held responsible,
as he should be. Why not make him
responsible for the appointment of
these city officials who spend annual
ly one third Of all the money raised
by taxation, more than any two
other departments combined?
