CHARGES OF HERESY
ARE FLATLY DENIED
Mr. Kerchen, Testifying in His
Own Behalf, Dispels All
of Accusations Made.
MONKEY THEORY DEBATED
Supervisor Asserts Patriotism, but
Admits Pacificism, Langhs at
. Idea of Free Love and Al
leged I. W. W. Sympathy.
On the witness stand in his own de
fense late yesterday for more than
three hours and. the target for a
Trillins cross-examination last night,
John L. Kerchen, accused supervisor of
manual training: in the Portland
schools, cleared up many of the charges
of heresy against him-.
Many accusations he scattered like
chaff. Arguments for and against him
and the decision in his case remain to
he glvjen. The Board of Education,
which is judge and jury too,, will make
known jits verdict later.
Many' of the formal charges against
him appeared trifling at yesterday's
hearing. He vleclared he is religious,
that his belief in a supreme belnjsr Us
firm and unshakable. Ho denied he is
a Socialist, gave his adherence to the
principles of Pragmatism and denied he
has ever been guilty of unpatriotic acts.
He admitted, however, that he is a pa
cifist and he made known his adher
ence to the principles of scientific
evolution, although he said this was by
no means in opposition to the Book of
Genesis.
Involution Idea Debated.
The monkey as the great ancestor of
man came prominently into yesterday's
hearing. It formed the topic of a dia
logue between Chairman Munly, of the
Board, and Mr. Kerchen. The latter
expressed his belief that the weight of
scientific opinion is on that side. Judge
Munly scoute-Jj this belief and argued
the point iviili the witness.
One statenii nL charged to Mr. Ker
chen aroused somewhat of a ripple of
interest yesterday and, in fact, it played
its part in the charges made against
him. He admitted yesterday that he
had made the statement and ex
plained it.
It was while making a talk on the
use of tools by man that the accused
supervisor had said:
"Biologically considered, perhaps the
most Important event that ever hap
pened to man was the day when he
started to walk on his hid legs and
cave up his two front feet to the use
of tools, such as throwing rocks and
wielding a club." '
Judge Munly challenged that statement.-
Mr. Kerchen said he had read it orig
inally in the Manual Training Maga
zine. He said he threw off this remark
incidentally as merely introductory to
his talk, and all this happened about
four years ago.
He amplified this statement of man's
lowly origin somewhat yesterday when
he said that the form of man's hand
was, according to high authorities, due
to his former tree existence when his
lirst cousin, the babboon, leaped frDm
limb Ho limb and wore long, prehensile
tails
He- even went further with this line
of illustration, and said it is quite gen
erally recognized that there is a psy
chological reason for the boy's love of
a ball game. This is because the sport
brings into action three movements
that were practiced for many centuries
by prehistoric man.
These old, outgrown actions, he said,
are throwing the rock, swinging the
club and engaging in the chase.
Prophet Again Vnhonored.
"It was hinted yesterday that Mr.
Kerchen may be something of a prophet,
and as such is without honor in his
own neighborhood. The lack of cur
rent respect for the prophet has be
come the subject of a familiar proverb.
For when Columbus hung around the
court of Sjain for five years, insisting
to everyone who would listen that the
world is round instead of flat, the -vjlse
wtisHtxi uioir gray Dettros ana
said: "Poor Chris: nobody in the bun
galow." Then the street urchins threw
dornlcka at htm.
hen tTallieo was star-gazing every
clear night with his newly invented
telescope, the family In the flat below
told the neighbors, "There's a zany up
stairs who spends his time looking at
the stars through a magic tube. We
wonder how he is going to pay the
rent." They then denounced him for
a, heretic and put hih where the birds
could not peck him.
Chirsei of Free Ix-ve Brushed Aside.
When Isaac Newton sat In his garden
at Wollsthorpe along in 1865 watching
the apples fall to the ground and won
dering why they did it. the merry vil
. labors peered over the wall and yelled
a.t him. "Run for your life, Ike, the
squirrels are loose."
And. so it goes. The lisjt is long. The
lot of an heretic 1s not a happy one,
for heresy is disturbing to the neigh
bors and the punishment usually is
made to fit the crime.
Maiy of the heretical charges, such
es lack of patriotism, sympathy with
the L W. W., adherence to free love
And other absurd accusations, were
swept away like cobwebs by Mr- Ker
i hen's statements. He showed they
were groundless and that suspicion and
rumor had pulLed on their seven-league
boots and traveled, with swiftness and
dispatch.
Animas 1 Alleared.
la fact, he declared the charges
brought against him were due to the
disappointed hopes of " . C. Mancur,
who hoped for appointment to the po
sition of manual training teacher at
Franklin High, and that J. R. Bymhold,
who sought Mr. Mancur's appointment,
was behind the accusations.
Mr. Kerchen pointed out that many
of the charges were four years old,
and that he had received a signed
statement of confidence since the
charges against him were made by 2-4
out of a total of 28 teachers serving
under him.
"The fact Is absolutely untrue that I
do not believe in the existence of , a
supreme being." said Mr. Kerchen. "I
am unqualifiedly of this opinion and al
ways have been. It la evident to me
there is some sort of a supreme being,
more or less near to man. Just how
close I cannot say."
Pragmatism la Explained.
The tribunal where Mr. Kerchen's ac
cusers, are airing their charges breathed
easier yesterday when the supervisor
explained the meaning of the trm
rragmatist. to which h admittd. H
said there are two definitions.
"One dictionary gives the meaning as
a meddler, a sort of butttnsky." said
Mr. Kerchen. "The word really comes
from practical and means a belief In
practical values. rr. William James,
of Harvard, who Is perhaps the great
est teacher In the United States, has a
hook on Pragmatism, which I submit
in evidence. In the last analysis, and
to-be brief. It Is a study f things as
they are. If things exist, and function,
if they are on the job performing some
thing useful, they are true."
As to the accusation that he was
believer in the I. W. "W.. the witness
paid he had never used the word half
a. dozen times in his life and that he
had heard more about the I. W. W. at
the present hearing than ever before.
He denied being a believer or an ad-J
vocate of free love. "That Is a vile
epithet to throw at anyone," he de
clared. Patriotism la Asserted.
"I belong to a patriotic family," said
Mr eKrchen in answer to the charge
that he is unpatriotic "My father was
a soldier and I Bold that my concept
of patriotism may be more inclusive
than some. I do ot think one's pa
triotism comes in question when one
criticises certain institutions. I do not,
I admit, feel quite satisfied with cer
tain problems of the Nation, but I
think that patriotism consists in trying
to make tnga better."
Three utterances of Mr. Kerchen, the
first several years ago, .when he spoke
amout man rising oijr his hind legs,
form the basis of the charges of heresy
against him.
In discussing the monkey-man state
ment. Judge Munly said he did not feel
that the evolution theory of man's or
igin was accepted generally. Mr.
Kerchen said the best colleges and uni
versities of the country, practically all.
in fact, teach this theory, for he ad
mitted It was but a theory that re
mained, to be proved.
Conversion Is 5fo Attempted.
ffudge Munly asked if he did not
think it more, important to teach the
young that they have & soul Instead of
regarding them merely as young ani
mals, whose ecommon ancestor, is a
monkey or a frog.
Mr. Kerchen admitted that this- is so,
but said because religion is such a.
ticklish subject as applied to the
schools that it was r.ot one he could
safely take up with his teachers. He
said he referred to evolutionary theo
ries only as a part of a. general edu
cation of his teachers and did not seek
to impress his views upon the teach
ers, much less upon the children, who
he had never addressed on the sub
ject. He intimated that Dr. William
Jumes and other eminent educators
should also be tried for heresy. If It is
heresy to cherish evolutionary beliefs.
The matter of the exhibit of manual
training from the Portland schools ex
hibited at the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion took much time yesterday. It had
been charged that the work was done
mostly byinstructors instead of pu
pils and that a wrong Impression had
been given to those seeing it.
BS Per Cent Done by Pupils.
Mr. Kerchen denied this and said
when they prepared their exhibit they
had been told by the San Francisco fair
offlcals that exhibits made by pupils
were not wanted, but exhibits showing
the character of the work carried on
here. He submitted a letter from the
Assistant Superintendent of Public In
struction at Salem outlining this same
Instruction.
Mr. Kerchen said a picked exhibit
from the best work of the pupils, such
as is usually shown at fairs, is mani
festly dishonest, as It is rigidly selec
tive. For example, he said, the writing
exhibit from Portland showed the work
of 30 or 40 children out of a total of
40,000 or 50,000. A diagram was shown
by him giving the proportion of teach
ers' and pupils' work that went into
the exhibit and this indicated the for
mer percentage was about 32 and the
latter 68.
Favoritism la Contradicted.
That he selected men for promotion
who were Socialistic in their belief was
denied. He said he had promoted six
men and employed a considerably larg
er number and in each case, the merits
of the men themselves governed his
action.
There -were Innumerable charges neg
atived by Mr. Kerchen; for example,
that he 13 unrefined In language, that
he gossips, arouses discord among his
teachers, that he lacks qualifications
for the position he holds, that he is
biased In his opinions and warped in
his ideas, etc., etc.
It was alleged that he had said he
could not associate with anyone of
fixed religious beliefs, so offensive were
these opiinons to him. Mr. Kerchen
said that while In Spokane he lived for
two years at the home of a Methodist
clergyman; that this friendship still
continues, and the clergyman and his
family call on him when they are in the
city.
Yesterday's hearing was marked by
bickerings between Isaac Sweet, attor
ney for Mr. Kerchen, and B. G. Skula-
son. counsel for the accusers. Frequent
charges of unfairness were made, and
there were constant ' appeals to the
chairman "to include or exclude certain
testimony.
