Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2e.-Just be.
fore Capt. Basil Q. Henriques. grand
nephew of Sir Moses Montefiore,
famous English philanthropist, sailed
from New York last night he said
the city's public schools did not teach
the discipline of good sportsmanship
which is learned in games. TO this
he ascribed the prevalence Of youth
ful crime.
DIR William J O'Shea, superintendent
of schools, today agreed with Capt.
Henriques' facts, but disputed his con-
clusions.
There isn't anything which hasn't
been named as a cause. of crime at
one time or another" he said, but
still don't see why any one should
pick out the public schools as a
cause"
Urges More Men Teachers.
Capt. Henriques, himself a phil
anthropist and student of social prob
lens. had said that the lack of men
teachers in the public schools pre-
vented boys from receiving the disci-
pline of good sport which
comes from games and sent them to
seek equivalent eAClteHiSHL lIOII Juht-
nile crime.
To the lack of men teachers DR..
O'Shea assented
Our boys show good sportsman
ship" he said. and they play games.
But it is especially true we haven't
plenty of men teachers in the lower
grades. And it is also true that no
woman can take charge of boys games
base ball. basket ball and so on--as
| a man can.
Agrees on Point.
I'VE ought to have more men teach
! ers to teach both in the schoolroom
and on the Fairgrounds after school.
| THE department of education is
| anxious to secure them. But the city
doesn't pay enough money 10 make
/ teaching in the elementary public
| schools attractive to an ambitious
| young man. Teaching in New York.
| however attractive from professional
| point of view. does not pay a man
| enough to enable him TO marry and
support a family comfortably. 50
| young men of the type we want are
| not entering our schools.
| The decrease of the percentage Of
men teachers in the lower grades in
| the last few years is very great"

''One isn't denied intelligence and
observation necessarily because one is
denied the power to love" retorted
Hilary, becoming slightly Grandson
ian in his speech, as he always did
when irritated. Then he felt that his
irritation was silly and shook it off.

If a schoolboy is accused of throw
ing small wood block in carpenter
shop, even though the had later con-
fesses he was technically guilty. the
matter can be made of the utmost
concern to DR.. Frank w. Ballou.
superintendent, and members of the
Board of Education, it was revealed
Saturday night.
A mass of data concerning such an
incident was turned over to Harry o.
Hine, secretary of the board. by Mrs.
Howard L. Hodgkins, board member
and chairman of the committee on
complaints and appeals. Mrs. Hodg.
kins will report the committees con-
clusions at the next meeting of the
board.
The case in question concerns Ben
famine Franklin Meyers, sixth.grade
pupil at the Park View School. His
mother, Mrs. 3. Frank Meyers, 1893
Park road, has vowed to spare nothing
in her campaign to vindicate her son,
who she says has been Inundated be-
fore his classmates and wrongfully
punished.
Case Came Up in January.
The episode happened on the morn.
ing of January z in the carpenter
room or the school when Robert
Snead Williams, carpenter teacher,
left the room. During his absence
the boys gayly threw blocks of wood,
causing one of their number to inture
his head while lodging. Investiga-
ton was instituted and Miss Frances
s. Farley, principal, asked for con-
fessions from the offending block
throwers.
Young Meyers on this occasion con-
tended he was not one of the block
throwers, but later said he dashed
one of the blocks to the floor in dis
gust at the conduct of his classmates.
Miss Farley took the view that it
would have been more manly for the
boy to make a clean breast on her
first call, but Mrs. Meyers declares
her son was In no wise guilty and
had never He'd in his Is years.
AS q result, the following letters.
