The total result of the protracted and heated session was the adoption of a resolution ordering the expendi- ture of $27,000 for the immediate in- stallation of electric lights in the schools. and the appointment of the | personnel of eight standing commit- i tees.

Doard prestaent had mot withdrawn his remarks when' the board con- vened in executive session at 6:45 o'clock. Stresses Need of Light After the first clash had apparent- 1y subsided Capt Peyser reopened his attack on Dr. Ballou's report on the lighting conditions in the schools. “You didn’t tell the board, Dr. Ballou, that the Parent-Teacher associations are subsidizing the light of schools,” said Capt. Peyser. “The eyesight of our children i{s more important than these surveys and reports, psycho- Icgical tests and visual education. The money now on hand is more than adequate to install proper lighting in schools needing it.” Capt. Peyser then started to criti- cize officials who “refuse to obey the jrulings of the board,” when Edwin replied This 1s one of the five new Model Foot Forms brought out this week.

Graham, leader of the administra- tion faction, interrupted. “What officials do you mean asked Mr. Graham. “Dr. Ballou,” replied Capt. Peyser. Mr. Graham asked Peyser to give the floor to Dr. Ballou to continue the report. John A. Chamberlain, director of manual training. finished the report, after several interrup- tions. Shows Orders for Repairs. ‘When Mr. Chamberlain exhibited to the board a sheaf of papers con- taining orders for repairs at various schools, Capt. Peyser said: “If you get many more complaints, you'll have a pretty big book, won't you?’ Ernest Greenwood moved that Dr. Ballou’s report be laid on the table. “If we were the board of directors of an_ industrial Fchs s ercaieed such a report, “1 wonder What we would do with it? Several i retorts were made to Mr. Greenwood's remrku “It's getting more and more dlmcull to address the board of -aflu’cafll;on. the meeting was precipitated when Dr. Ballou requested the board to call a special conference to consider the Capper five-year school improvement program. An objection came from Capt. Peyser. “I'm opposed to this motion,” he dsclared. “Wu ought to put our house in order first. Let's glive our children proper light. We're making too many programs no d not doing any practical work. Charges Publicity Somght. Mrs. Raymond B. Morgan pointed out that the proposed meeting would only be a conclave of the committee of the whole. William L. Houston re- plied that under the rules of the board a meeting of the whole could not be set for a future date. “Just a_minute,” interposed Capt. Peyser. *“We have no authority to hold an executive conference. All meetings should be open to the public.

Graham is one of these inac- tive members who will take the path of least resistance,” retorted Capt. Peyser. “While I am on the board 1 am going to do what I think is right.” Mr.’ Houston said he had no apolo- gles to make to Mr, Graham or fany e else. 1 have been as loyal as ahy one els® in support of the admin- istration,” he said. “I am not going to function as a rubber stamp. I don’t expect to agree with Mr. Gra- ham or Dr. Ballou in everything they I think M¢. Graham is as anxious to get into the papers as any one else. Every member here will search the papers tomorrow to see whose name is mentioned most frequently.” ‘Willing to Retire, Mr. Greenwood said that he sup- posed he was included in Mr. Gra- ham's allegation. “I am anxious that the shoe be worn where it fits,” an- swered Mr. Graham. : Greenwood then told the board that he saw no reason why he should not disagree with Dr, Ballou, point- ing out that if it is the sole duty of the board to adopt Dr. Ballou's rec- ommendations, he saw no reason for that body's existence. “If I am not wanted on the board.” he sald, “I shall be exceedingly glad to get out of an exceedingly disagrecable job. I will not be a rubber stamp.” After this lengthy argument, the board proceeded with a little of the business that took morc than three hours to transact—the appointment of the personnel of the eight standing committees.
