DR, CARLS! SCORES two proposals, today when he told The Star that he is opposed to any members | of the school board or any school officer | making statements on questions before Schoo! Head Declares Meet- ing Transactions Should Be Revealed to Public. The end of secret conferences on all public school business, except that which involves the reputation of indi- viduals, was forecast definitely today by Dr, Charles F. Carusi, president of the Board of Education, following the board's decision, at his suggestion, late yesterday to conduct further discussions on two pending proposals in public sessions. The proposals are amendments fo present school board rules—one author- izing the withholding of diplomas from pupils guilty of any one of several of- fenses now punishable by suspension, and the other proposing the abandol ment of the anti-fraternity pledge ca systeqn by which school officials now are lugpoud to be able to keep tab on high school students’ membership in unapproved organizations. ree weeks ago the school board referred the two questions to its com- mittee on rules, and when Dr. Carusi asked for the committee’s report and recommendations yesterday Mrs. Mary A. McNeill, chairman, announced that the rules group had not come to an agreement on either during a secret conference last week. Statement Is Prompted. ‘This announcement inspired a state- ment by Dr. Carusi, in which he pointed out the absence of public approval of the proposals. On the other hand, he said, there is much misunderstanding of the measures. the fact that all school board discus- sions on both projects have been held in executive sessions, from which news- paper reporters were barred. This pro- cedure, he said, had prevented the board's real reasons for proposing the amendments from becoming public. Enlarging upon his recognition of the disadvantages of closed meetings, Dr. Carusi declared he knew no reason why, with the exception of matters involving ns’ reputations, all school business should not be talked of in open meet- ings. He suggested then that the di- ploma-withholding question and the anti-fraternity pledge card abolition be thrashed out by the board sitting pub- licly as & committee of the whole in the near future. ‘The suggestion was acted upon unan- imously by the rest of the board. ‘The offenses for which it is proposed to withhold diplomas from students, notwithstanding the fact they may have completed the prescribed course, are “immoral conduct, indecent language, violent or pointed opposition to author- ity, persistent disobedience or disorder, dishonesty or untruthfulness, habitual tardiness, unauthorized absence or un- cleanly condition of person or cloth- ing. Reason for Proposal. In his brief statement to the board Dr. Carusi ed arises from trict’s compulsory school attendance law, which in effect “requires us to take a child, regardless of his character, and educate him without im us any responsibility for building, and without, in fact, giving us any medium with which to enforce character standards.” “We might say we've no right to bother about moral character,” Dr. Carusi continued, “but after five years' sitt on this board I've concluded that parents of these children sent to us us, if not to usurp their own uhm:mh'xlnm( s, to co- operate with tI in making good citi- zens ml'.ud these young Americans in our. bt e o ‘“We are com %o ediicate these children, even some ‘of them do not want it, and despite the fact that some parents even do not want their children in . If there is conduct prejudicial to society on the part of a pupil, we must keep that pupil in our schools.

He declared emphatically, however, that he |is in_complete accord with the school board president’s approval of blic discussions of school business and that he always has favored open meetings by committees. “I object seriously to the president of the Board of Education making the sort of statement which Dr. Carusi made yesterday before all the facts in the case are available and before the | committee studying the proposition has | made its report,” Gilligan sald. “That | | statement undertakes to express an (opinion on a situation on which our | committee was assembling data.

You will never find him misrepresenting the facts about electric cleaners, misleading you by trick demoastrations or making claims for The Hoover which cannot be duplicated in your own use of it. He has no need to resort to such practices to sell The Hoover. Its proved ability to remove more dirt per minute than any other cleaner, to get out embedded grit that ordinary cleaning does not remove, with less expenditare of human energy for its operation than any other cleaner, are facts that need no fictitious support. You owe it to yourself to hear the Hoover man’s message before you purchase an elec- tric cleaner. 5 THE HOOVER COMPANY, NORTH CANTON, OHIO TJhe HOOVER .
