ae CRAPS N’ POWDER NANT UPSET SCHOOL NABOBS Also There Was an Instructor Who Threw an Inkwell at an East Orange Pupil. k - School! boys who shoot craps, girls who paint and pow er and dress im- properly, and an instructor who threw an inkwell at @ pupil are agitating East Orange, N. J. The School Board has ordered a sweeping investigation. ‘The Wo-|¢ man's Club is perturbed and even} the chief of police is concerned. Discussion of the whole of it last nigtt made heated the meeting of | the East Orange School Board, which convened early and ominously. School Commissioner Hobart A. | Walker, who in business life is a New York architect, started the fire. “It has been brought to my atten- ton,” he announced, impressivety, “that an instructor in our school hrew an inkwell ata pupil.” Before he could proceed any further School Commissioner Byron Brooks arose and announced, “And I have heard that the boys in our school are shooting craps. Here Mrs. T. Westervelt Tooker, a sodial Jeader in East Or: e and the only woman member of the School Board, took the floor. , “And I," she said, “wish to report | that in the minutes of the last Woman's Club meeting there is re- ported a speech by Chief of Police O'Neill, in which he said that the girs in our school are improperly ‘y dressed.” The meeting was soon shaken with ‘exalted voices, with everyone quos- tioning everyone and, learning noth- ing, Finally quiet was restored and Commissioner Brooks made himself heard by Acting Superintendent Wison, who is in charge while ‘Superintendent Brooks is in Franve, “Is it not true,” he asked, “that some of our girls had to be taken recently from the classroom by the matron to have their faces washed?” Prof. Wilson, who had taken no part in the discussion so far and who looked as if what he longed for most was peace, rose, hesitatingly, to his feet, He started to speak, but some one interrupted him, “Isn't it also true,” a voice boomed, “that the giris are dressed inde- cently?” “And that the boys are shooting craps?’ another volleyed, “And that en instructor threw that inkwell?” a third yelled. He was still trying to speak when another voice demanded, "Why don't you bring that instructor here so we can discharge him?” Prof, Wilson looked pained. “Really, now, people, I don't care to be dragged into this.” Personal wishes, however, didn't seem to matter with the School Board, with Commissioner Walker, Commissioner Brooks nor Commis- sioner Mrs. T, Westervelt Tooker, who had the word of Chief of Police O'Neill himself that the girls were improperly dressed. “But, it's your duty,” they re- Kt sponded to a man and a woman. “There isn’t the proper discipline at the head of our school, and if there isn't discipline from our teachers how can we expect our children to be disciplined?” It was a rather involved ques- tion, but Professor Wilson evidently saw his duty. “I have heard,” he began, “that some of the boys have been throwing di There have been instances,” he con: “tinued as calmly as he could, “where girls have been ordered to take the powder from their faces.” Then he hesitated. “How about the girls being in- decently dressed?" a dozen voices asked him, Prof, Wilson chose his next words with care that was fitting an in structor in rhetoric. * re stated firmly, “is a mat- pinion, Personally, I would not say the girls a indecently dressed. I would say, rather, if such were my opinion, that some of our girls are, perhaps, improperly dressed, That, I think, would be a more proper word,” ‘Now, how about that inkwell?” Prof. Wilson followed through. “There is som mistake there,” he said man who is ac- cused an did not throw . It was a tap bell, And b throw it As 1 have stated, oung man, just starting his roxical carcer He is very excita nd sometimes the pupils, as they say it, ‘get his nat.’ He became excited and in his art agitation pushed the bell from the y It happened to fly in the di- of the pupil who disturbed tly tor it aim, k on the er took don’ M been told,’ ing to make own account And then the board went nim ond better and demanded an investigat on its own account, with Prof. on directed to summon Principal Ralph H.
