WOMAN TEACHER INSISTS ON PAID SCHOOL BOARD. Miss Grace C. Strachan Assails | the Arguments of State | Commissioner Draper. ASKS SHARP QUESTIONS. Points Out That He Has Taken No Part in Effort to Change Buffalo System. Bliss Grace C. Strechen takes excep lem @@ the opposition of A. 8. Drapen Gente Commicsioner of Bducation, to tee extadlichment of @ paid board of e@ucation for the city of New York. She saye. dhe believes in the paid board plan @@ favored by Mayor Gaynor. Miss G@rechan gives her views in 0 letter to Assenttiyman James A. Foley, one of @e-framers of the proposed new char loner Draper, Miss Strachan fe net qualified to pass upon conditions in New York City. He has hed no qualifying experience with @e ehod system of New York Ofty or ety aty approximating New York in points out that several large cities '@ Gre country have paid boards of efmeation and shows that Boston elects {> echool board. Miss Strachan quote ‘this @rom Mr. Draper: The management of the schows thou be free from partisanship end municipal politios. An educatoral eywtem cannot thrive unless it is free from the demination of municipal “This,” says Miss Strachan, “ie tho ‘wsual high sounding phraseology wed fm such discussions, which when an> algsed evaporates into nothingness. The school system is the most important division of the city government, and if@ administration is a duty ef the oMctals | of the city—be they classed as ‘politi- clans,’ ‘reformers’ or ‘indempendents'— which they should not neglect, directly or indirectly. But what the force of the mbove statemon is in discussion I fesl to see. APPOINTMENT POWER WOULD STILL REST WITH MAYOR. ‘“The members of the present doard are appointed by the Mayor; the mem- vere of the paid board would be ap poimted by the Mayor. Mr. Draper im- plies that paying the members a salary wil cause the schools to become in- volved in ‘partisanship and municipal polities.’ Is not this mere spesoulation | on bjs part? Is it not true that under the present plen it has always been ee cagtom for the leaders of the political | parties to submit to the Mayor the names of candidates for the Boart of E@ucation, and is it not reasonable to believe that those positions eeing ‘hon- orary,’ Mayors have often investigated the merits and fitness of said candidates less rigidly than if their appointment fnvolved the expenditure of thousands of donare? “Furthermore, as the statement comes from the ‘chief educational officer of the State,’ it would appear he has appar- ently not been concerned about this phase in the government of the schools of the second largest city of the State— Buffalo—where the schools are 0 closely connected with partisan and municipal politics that the City Superintendent of Schools in elected by the whole people, like the Mayor and other city otgclals, while the administration of the schools Involving expenditures of moneys—sal- artes of teachers and Janitors, purchase of sites, erection of buildings—ts, sub- ject to the approval of the Mayor, in control of the Board wt Aldermen~a tical body?

For many years, the head of the schools of Rochester has been a board whose mem= here are paid a salary and are elected by the whole electorate on the regular ity ticket.

The sergeant remembered that Joseph Thompson, a twelve-year- old boy of No. @ Clinton atreet, had brought in a book some time before and this proved to be the one Malamogeants had lost, After the visitor, taking the bank ook, had left the station house, the sergeant still continued to look at the name on the blotter.
