Taxpayers Awaiting
School Board Farley
All Standing By for Solution Of Teachers Status
Mayors Opponents RumOred Uneasy

Big things are expected Of this
board of education by the public.
according to comments heard
around tho city. because Of the live
ly interest the commissioners
manifested at Mondays meeting in
the doings of the department. Ger
tain republicans who were of a
mind to correct" the mayors
stand in the matter If not appoint
ing a clerk Of the board have, 1t is
felt. cut out neat task for them
selves.
These commissioners learned on
short notice, It is now pointed out,
that they were barking up the
wrong tree on the legality of the
mayors suggestion in the matter Of
the clerkship and learned that the
mayor knows his charter better.
than they do and that he was prop
erly supported by an opinion from
Corporation Counsel Charles s.
O'Connor.
Mrs Florence Webster, by NOV
ing that certain funds be segregat-
ed will learn, legal authorities stat
ed today, that such a thing Is I'M
possible because the finance board
has control over all financial mat
ters and will not permit its powers
to be usurped.
It was also pointed out today
that very properly the minutes of
a previous session of the school
board were amended to give Mrs
Webster full and absolute credit
for having called attention to the
shabby condition of text books in
stead of having this great distinc-
ton go to her associate, Mrs Ger
trude Bowes.
Serious minded taxpayers, after
Diminishing the whimsical Sweet
nothings" of the meeting, were to-
day asking a very vital question. It
was the one raised by the mayor,
himself, in his advice to the board
on the matter of not appointing q
clerk in the interest of economy.
1t was the question that the public
school population Is 900 less this
year. The taxpayers were asking
what this meant and were of the
opinion that it means nothing less
than the fact that with 900 fewer
pupils the department has the
problem Of having the board pro-
mulgate plan Of keeping about
20 teachers on the teachcing staff.
The taxpayers who displayed an in
terest in Mrs Webster's analysis OF
the department are. it is believed,
standing by for the next meeting to
see IL she and her republican sup
porters will offer solution to the
20 teachers in question. Opinion
Is that this all-important question
will be shrewdly avoided for the
simple but valid reason that it
would be political suicide. for the
repN blican members.

movement, was ousted from all
church offices by the Evangelical

was felt that his lack of financial
experience was one Of the reasons
prompting him to retire to private
life.

the rapid ascendency of Morgen-

Farm Credit Administrator.

Roosevelt from Albany where he

place in the farm credit organiza-

Walsh Death Recalled
The appointment of Morgenthau,
it was recalled, marks the second
time in eight months that Mr.
Roosevelt has been compelled to
make changes in his cabinet. The
first time was when Senator
Thomas Walsh who had been
named attorney general, died. That
vacancy was filled by Homer S.
Cummings, who previously had
been slated to become governor
general of the Philippine Islands.
At the white House the president
explained that Woodin would re-
main away long enough for him
to win back his full health. He
will be away, 1t was said, from tele-
phones and from people, and will
separate himself from all activi-,
ties Of the government.
Acheson, it was said, was re-
firing with the affectionate regards
OF the White House and others.
Mr. Roosevelt has not yet de-
cided upon a successor to Morgen-
than at the farm credit adminis-
tration.
Woodin, smilingly said that he
would leave for Arizona in about

which all of us in Washington have
so geratly appreciated. We need
you back again, and the country
needs you back again.
For this reason, I am going to
ask you to withhold your resigna-
ton, to take a complete leave of
absence and to do all you can to
get full health and strength, with
out any responsibility or thought Of

II hope that you will do this for
me because of my personal affec-

Of the very great services which you
have given to our country during
a critical period of our history.

Woodin will do without pay. He
