Meyers Criticizes Faulkner.
Mr.. Meyers. who is not a men,
ber of the federation. was given
five minutes to speak. He opened
by saying he had seen in the news
paper a story about Mr.. Falukner's
views on socialism in the schools.
He declared:
when I read the article,
wanted to make sure I read it
correctly. I was amazed a
member of the Board of Education
whose job and duty is to help
mould the young of our city-and
thank God it is only the youth
of our city and not of the country
would make such a statement
Mr.. Meyers said he would be re-
miss in his duty as a citizen if
ne did not do something about it.
The remarks to which he referred
were made by Mr.. Faulkner at a
civic meeting and later in inter-
views to reporters. Mr.. Falkner
was reported as saying that school
physical education classes
and medical services in schools
were Socialistic.
MIR. Meyers was stopped after
i've minutes, and Mr.. Stull jumped
up to say he felt it was unfair to
condemn a man who was not
present.

Mr.. Stull said he knew Mr.
Faulkner and thought him a fine
man. He added. I'm not going
70 condemn Bob Faulkner until
I've talked to him and found out
what this is all about" Applause
Mr.. Meyers left. asking: What
Kind of meeting is that?" He said

ne was going to start a campaign
20 arouse the citizens against Mr..
Eaulkner's type Of thinking on the
;chool board.
