Refuses to Obey the Order to Prepare Examination Questions for Use of the Board—Question of Law. o R R The Board of Education, having shorn | Superintendent of Schools Webster of | nearly all his power, it now remains to be seen whether he can be forced to do the board's bidding. The storm that has been | gathering for some time between the Su- perintendent and the Directors broke yesterday's meeting, and the deluge some- wha, enlivened the usual dull proceedings of the board. Superintendent Webster declared that he weuld not obey the order of the board to prepare examination questions, and backed up his declaration with some huge hunks of the State law. He made the declaration first in writing and then oral- ly, for the special enlightenment of Di- rector Casserly, who would not be satis- fled with anything else. The Superintend- | ent declared ths is ne executive officer of the board. It is ¢ that the question will ultimately be left for the | courts to decide.

I had | hoped that the superintendent’s examinations | might have been utilized by the board as a | partial basis for the promotion of pupils, and with that hope I submitted on the 2d of May separately certain resolutiors that have appares ignored. Therefore I am constrained to form the board thus early and officlally tha a request such as is contained in resolution even though formally and directiy brouzht to | my notice, would have to be disregarded by | me. | ‘oncluding T would add that if the members | of the board desire to prepare questions for the examination propc I will be ready willing upon proper notice to meet wi nd to ald in the formulation of such tions.

President Mark onded the motion, but I T moved, substitute, that the board meet on Jun He took the ground that Webster, bein: a member of the board, must naturall meet with the board and needed no cial appointment. Both the motion the substitute were lost. Superintendent Webster here found oc- casion to_compiain that he had not been notified of special and regular meetings of the board as required by law. The se tary explained that he had always nc fied the Superintendent in writing, except during the first month, when Webster had | never failed to attend. The matter was then left in just that position.
