HEARINGS SLATED ON SCHODL HSTORY Board of Education to Hear Al Sides Before Barring Muzzey’s Books. Public hearings, at which critics and supporters of Muzzey's American history ‘will be given an opportunity to testify, will be held by a special committee of the board of education before that body takes definite and final action on the question of“withdrawing it {rom} use in the Washington high schools. The com- mittee is composed of Daniel J. Call han, William L. Houston and Mrs. How- ard L. Hodgkins. Although the school board a month ago decided to make the consideration of Prof. Muzzey's book the special or- der of business at its meeting yeste day afternoon, it readily agreed to defer action untll the speclal committee had sounded out public opinion and submit- ted its report. “This is too important a matter,” Mr. Callahan told the board, “to determine without serious investiga- tion.” Ready to Defend History. George J. Jones, head of the history department of the high schools, was present at the meeting prepared to submit a report in defense of the his tory. Mr. Jones already has sub- miited to the board a comprehensive report defending the charges that th history is un-American and. un patriotic. The contention _of _Corporation Counsel Francis H. Stephens that the Commissioners have the constituted authority to determine the dom of necessity proposed school . ex. penditures was denied in_an opinion adopted the board. The opniion was framed by James T. Llovd and Mr, Houston, the attorneys on the hoard, ult of the recent de- ion of the corporation counsel which followed the controversy b tween the board and the Commls. over requisition for supplies lied beauty culture course treet Vocational School. contention of the board of education is that the law is plain &nd of ea ruction with ref- expenditure: the opinion “There is no conflict in the authority given as we see it The board of education must direc. the expenditures; it must make r quisitions which direct the commi. sioners ‘to pay. This direction is complete and is solely of the of education. After en ordered by the education its authrity Tt is then the duty of the mmissioners make payments ordered by the /oard of education and to al r the same. only injuir are authoriz appropriatio congress and to determine through their auditor: whether there are funds appropriated from which the may legally draw. but the commissioners have no power 10 determine the necessily or wisdom of the proposed expenditures, : “The corporation counsel., from the merits of this case, argues that since the members of the boar: of education r ve no salary and bLecause they are not required to give a bond, they should have nothing to do with expenditures. Certainly the corporation counsel would not se- I contend that because the board of education perferms the onerous duties imposed upon it as a public duty without remuneration, that it should be penalized for so doing. Why should a bond be re quired of the board of education? Under no construction of the law can the board handle any money, nor does it_make any expenditures. The re- sponsibility for making the payments and accounting for the same is vested in the Commissioners. Trying to Serve People. “It is contended that the board of education is not responsive to the people of the District because it Is appointed by the Supreme Court. The hoard of education answers that by the same reasoning the Commis- sioners are not responsive to the people because they are named by the President. The board of educa- tion is using its best endeavor to di- rect the &chools in the interest of the people and is_generous enough to assert its confident belief that the Commissioners are trying to serve the same people in the administra- tion of municipal affairs. . “It is our opinion, and we recom- mend that in order to make clear the duties of the board of education the corporation counsel should be asked to state his opinion as to the relation of the board to expenditures and what, under the law, it is re- quired to do in this regard, that the statute, as a whole. may be un- Aderstood and the obligations of both ! of education and the Com- lissioners may be clearly defined, so 1at no questions of conflict of au- lority may hereafter arise.” In presenting the opinion Mr. Lloyd nphasized that the board seking @ quarrel with the Commis- oners and is simply trying to state its_ position. Disapproval of the names selected by the board for the new schools . inder construction and the two buildings to be converted into junior 1igh schools in September was volced )y the Commissioners In a communi- ation to the board. The Commis- sioners objected to the names on the ground that too few former District Zovernment authorities were respected by having schools named in thelr honor. Alexander T. Stuart, director of intermediate instruction and for- mer _superintendent of schools, told the board that there has never been a uniform practice in selecting names for schools, but that the pro- edure in the past has been for the board to choose the names and have the Commissioners approve them. He also read his annual report of 1911, in which he recommended that teachers should be recognized in the naming of schools, and which showed that up to that year twenty-threa schools had been named for loca- tion, three for relative location, one for the nature of its curriculum, aside the function ! is as to the| twenty'for Presidents of the United States, one for a former mayor of Washington, one for a former gov- ernor of Wi ngto! eleven for civilian Commissioners, three for engineer Commissioners, thirty-four for persons of local or national dis- tinction, eight for members of the school board and fifteen for teachers. Since 1911, he said,, four had_been named for location, one for a Presi- dent, three for persons of local or national distinction, one for a mem- ber of the boi and - two for teachers. Would Loan Old School. A special committee, headed by Mr. Callahan, recommended that the Shrine convention committee be al lowed to use the old Eastern High School bullding for housing purposes in June, providing ample protection is given the property and provided further that it is within the province of the board to loan public_school buildings for such purposes. The re- port was adopted. s Upon the recommendation of Supt. Ballou the board ruled that students Who were deprived of participation in honors in the high schools because they did not resign from the debar- red secret societies prior to June 30, 1922, but resigned later, may now be restored to full standing in the schools. Dr. Ballou pointed out that) the notice was given to the students, but a few days before it became ef- fective and that the time of dissolu- {tion was so near the close of the tempted to retain their mem in the fraternities in order that they would continue to exist over the sum- mer vacation perfod. A aistinction is made between. those { students who resigned from these o { ganizations to remove disqualifica- tion and those who withdrew from rganization which was being ! continued. In the latter case the stu- {dent will be restored by the s tendeni sixty days after the ance and approval of the resignation, | provided ail of the pupils helonging to such orgunization shall have r signed and the organization discon- tinued.
