POLITICS IN SCHOOL ROOMS, Teachers Protest to The Rren. ing Worl Against the Compromise Bill. “GHMRGE OF UNFHI DEALING, They Say They Were Not Ao- corded a Hearing on the Subjeot THEIR LIVELIHOOD IN PERIL. Division Superintendents Who Are Subject to Boss Rule Given Arbitrary Power. ‘The Senate Committee having in charge matters pertaining to public schools will grant a hearing next ‘Wednesday afternoon to opponents of the so-called Compromise bill, which ts intended to reorganize the public achool aystem of this city. It is alleged by the teachers of this city that the measure, if it becomes a law. will not only be an injustice to them, but also g detriment to the 200,000 children in their charge. They say po- litical patronage is at the bottom of the matter, and that they have not been treated fairly by those having it in charge. The appeal to “The Evening ‘World to support them | ntheir efforts to secure justice which has plainly been denied them. On Wednesday, while the passage of the bill which is variously known as the Compromise and the ‘Crazy-Quilt” bill was being enacted in the Assembly, the teachers of the city, 4,500 in number, eeven-eighths of whom are women, met fn a central body in the chapel of the City College and in overflow meetings fn four other rooms in the same bulld- ing. After analyzing the measure care- fully section by section, they passed a unanimous protest against it. Many Associations Presen ‘The associations that were presente were the Teachers’ Association of the City of New York, the Male Principals’ f Association, the Female Principals’ As: sociation, the Primary Principals’ Asi clation, the Primary Teachers’ Associa tion, the Male Assistant Teachers’ As: sociation, the “Emile,” the New York Boclety of Pedagogy, and the Teachers’ Building and Loan Association. NeGer before in the Uls:ory of the public school system was there ever such a unanimity of opinion regarding any proposed ciange. During the meeting the fact wos Drought out shat before the appearance of the “Compromise” bill, two others affecting school ie¢is:ation were in the Educational Commi:tee's hands in Al- any. One wi 2 “Bell bill," which be- ame obnoxious on account cf the pro- vision for a paid Commission to govern the school: This provision tas since been stricken and other oljectionable features ‘been amended to make the bill @ rational one. Prepared by Politicians, ‘The other, the “Pavey bill,’ was pre- @ented to that gentleman by the sub- committee of seventy, whicn had school matters in coarge. This Pavey bill is the bill which was prepared by a Com- mission appoiniel by Thomas F. Gilroy when he was Mayor. The teachers said that while no one @oubted the honesty of intention of the men who tormed that Commission, yet at the game time no practical person would believe that so astute a politician Gilrey would allow any Kind of an jucational bill to come uito sight that ould in the least tend to lessen the ironage of the organization which he epresenied lawyer of this tephen H. i city, was a member of that Commission +, he is of the Committee of Seventy. fe was also one of the sub-committee @f the last-named body which was to Bevote itself to the public schools of the olty. Mr. Olin tee the bil resented to this aub-commit- which he had helped pre- @, and the Gilroy bill became the rommittee of Seventy bill, and that or- janization afterwards requested Assem- o take it in charge. Ye which it was tt would never have left the Assembly Committee in which {t was placed, as its partisan purpose was only too clearly portrayed: legations from the Board f Education, from the School Trustees and from the principals and teachers went to Albany, were given a hearing, the objectionable features of the measure were ~xplained to the As- sembly Committee and a majority of it Gcciared Itself ugainst presenting It at all. Hearing Ordered, @ sub-committee of this Committee appointed to co to New Fork to hold a public heating and to afiord an opportunity to all those in- terested—those for and those against the Proposed legislation—to express thelr views. These gentlemen, of whom Assembly- man Horton was one, and who. by the Was, introduced the “compromise” meas- ré.” nnounced that they would old this hearing at the Hote! Metropole. nthe day appointed delegations of ‘opposed to the bill appeared at the letropole, Inquifed fr, the le Ors ind were informed that they were not about the hotel. It was rumored subsequently that “pome one or somebody” had seen pei the Assembiymen the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

No A Neverthelet Ai ation Pald to It. the bill was introduced into the asa, compromise measure and carried through with a rush entirely against the wishes of the New York City’ delegation, Assemblyman Horton is. represented As saying that he had heard no one 3 josing the measure and that arti interented had favored the measure. An “Evening World” reporter called on Dr. Matthew J. Eigas, Principal of Grammar School No. @, who is Chair. man of the Amalgamated Association of Principals and Teachers, — recently formed, who pointed out ‘the incon- aistencles and absurdities of the bill, “Commi! of Education, as you know, perhaps," said the doctor, “are appointed for five years. In the second section of the compromise. bill tl Markable statement is made: “The term of office of the present Commissioners ot Common Schools shall continue during the time for which they have been respectively appointed, pro- Vided, however, that before the first day of June, 185, ‘the Mayor shall remove said Commissioners and appoint their successors to serve out the balance of their respective terms.’ “Did you ever see anything more con- tradictory than that? How can the present commissioners serve out their Te. terms, some of which do not end before 1899, before June 1, of this year, the Mayor shall appoint thelr successors to serve out their term Present Boards Abolished. Section 7 provides for the aboiltion of the present boards of school trustee: This act ts pernicious, for the fact th {t does away with that principle, dear to every American—the principle of ‘home rule.” “The 120 trustees of the city live in the district in which the schools placed in fhelr charge are located, and are there-| I fore familiar with the parents who send thelr children to these schools. Every shade of political belief, every religion and creed, has a representation in these Boards of Trustees, who see that prej- udice of any kind ‘does not operate to the detriment of any one. “One of their present duties is the nomination of teachers, a duty which would devolve upon a board of twenty rintendents (section 8) should this Dill become a law, In my experience of over twenty-five years as a teacher, I have heard of but few cases where corruption of any sort entered into the nomination of any teacher. In recent years I have not heard of a single case. “Three trustees must now assent to the nomination of an applicant whose name has been placed upon an eligible list be- fore the name |s presented to the Board of Education. Tt ts possible to corrupt three men of a hundred and twenty, will it not be easer to gain friendship (2) of one division superintendent out of a total of twenty? “This proposed legislation will place the licensing and the nominating power, which practically amounts, fo the ap- pointment, into the hands of the division superintendent of each individual dis- trict, “These superintendents appointed for a term of years, subsiating entirely upon the salary they receive, must look to the Board of Education for their ap- pointment. They will be creatures of this lower Board, and would as soon think of displeasing a Commissioner as they, would” of cutting off their right and. Politics Enter Here. “It is right here where a political party could get its patroni The Schools would then be filled with teach- ers whose political belief was that of the majority of the Commissioners, and woe to the teacher who differed in any way with a Commissioner or his hire- ling. “Sine division superintendent has the autocratic ywer to transfer, re-examine or suspend any teacher who, by his personality, his originality of conducting ip class or his school, so offends, “Then, again, section 8 provides that the Board of ‘Education on complaint for ineMiclency, or immorality, or other sufficient reason, may, by a two-thirds Vote. remove the seach harged. “This, In the first p ntirely too 8, vague.
