PEY.SER ASSAILS COLLEAGUES
AND SUPERINTENDENT BALLOU
School Board Member Charges Finance Committee
Held Phantom Session-Objects to Criticism
of Officials by Employe.

A major portion of the boards time
was devoted to the adoption OF an
other section Of the revised rules and
bylaws as presented by DIR. Bennett.
chairman of the rules committee.
Only one important change was made
in the new rules as drafted by the
committee. A clause requiring the
superintendent to give 80 days no.
tice n case of resignation was strick-
en- out. The superintendent now
must serve for full term of three
years unless removed by the board.
No provision was made for resigna-
tion.
one OF the new rules approved re-
quires the superintendent to give each
member of the board copy of his
annual report before making 1t pub
lie. 1t has been the practice during
Or. BaIIou's incumbency to give out
his reports, with the sanction of the
board. to the newspapers before pre-
senting them to the board.
No Control Of Smoking.
Corporation Counsel Stephens mott
fed the board. in response to its re-
quest. that school principals have no
authority to control smoking on
school property by boys of school age
WHO are not attending school. "The
problem" said the corporation coun-
sci. "is one for the school attendance
officers to solve"
Requests of the Park View Citizens
Association to improvements on the
terrace at the Park View School and
the Macfarland Junior High School
Parent-Teacher Association. to have
an unused nursery adjoining the
school converted into q playground
were referred to the proper commit
tees of the board. The Commission
ers notified the board that additional
property for the Dunbar and John r.
Cook schools had been purchased
Dr. Ballou submitted report on
the enrolment in the schools, show
ing an increase of 34S pupils over
the corresponding period of last year.
The total enrolment now as shown
by the report is 61,5s2.
Appropriate for Changes.
Other business transacted by the
board included the appropriation of
approximately $4,000 out of the build
ing and repair fund for the altera-
lion of several rooms at the Powell
School. which is being converted into
a Junior High School: the appropri-
alton of $50 out of the same fund
for the extension of the lighting
facilities in the 'Hine Junior High
School. and the adoption of rules and
regulations governing the work OF
the boards of examiners.
Maj. Raymond -. Wilmarth. bust
ness manager of the school system.
reported that he had made survey
of the unexpended balances of school
appropriations which have gone back
into the Treasury since the fiscal
year of 1921. and found the total 10
be $126266.l5. DR.. Ballou remarked
that the amount unexpended 'is very
small in comparison with the total
appropriations over this period"
Changes in personnel approved by
the board follow:

capt. julius !. Peyser of the Board
of Education went on the Warpath
again at the board meeting yester-
day afternoon and tommyhawked his
colleagues as we'll as Superintendent
of Schools Frank W. Ballou. his most
frequent target.
First Capt. Peyser raped his fell
low members on the finance commit
tee for holding phantom session
and then shifted his attack on DR..
Ballou. who, he charged, had CEN
sured the board at its previous met
ing for wasting time. He was un-
sparing in his remarks. :
The criticism Of the finance COM
mittee resulted from Capt. Peyser's 3
efforts to learn the outcome Of
motion put by him and adopted at
a meeting November 5, which Gale d
for a special session uf the commit
tee that night to consider whether
the Bureau of the Budget should be
asked to sanction the reappropriation
by Congress of the school systems
uneXpended balances for erecting
permanent school facilities in Manor
Park. 1nterrogations by capt. Pey-
ser revealed that the committee lad
met over the telephone so informally
that its members voted on the wrong
question.
Calls 1t High Handed.
It's high handed procedure and
not what the board intended" said
Can't PeySer Il will not stand Tor
such methods. 1t cant occur here
again. | will tell Congress about it.
We are going to have this board act
in fair manner or not at all
In his assault on Supt. Ballou Capt.
Peyser declared. heatedly: Dr. Bal
lou is an agent of the board, and as
far as | am concerned j will not
stand for being censured by him.
Never again will | permit the board
to be placed in the position of being
censured by a paid employe of the
school system.
Before peace and tranquility had
been restored Capt. Peyser made
few sharp remarks about the social
held by the board last Friday night,
to which, he said he was not invited.
Ernest Greenwood, vice president OF
the board, said he, too, did not re
ceive an invitation; but attended
anyhow.
Dispute Settled Quietly.
The dispute between Rev. +. |. y.
Bennett and community center de-
rartment officials over the accuracy
of the attendance figures of the
Lovejoy Community Center as tabu-
lated by Mrs. T.. j. Gray, community
secretary. and transmitted TO the
board in the annual reports Of Mrs
w. l.. Hardy. acting director of the
community center department. was
settled as quietly as il started. DR..
Ballou submitted to the board a re-
port stating that he had audited the
figures and found them to be correct.
The report was accepted without
discussion, and James r. Lloyd. pres
ident of the board. remarked that he
was happy that this thing had been
settled" Officers of the community
center department appeared before
the board at the social gathering
last week. which WAS held behind
closed doors
