HEAD OF SCHOOLS FOR THREE YEARS Appeal of Citizens That Action on .Superintendency Be iDe- ferred Is Ignored by Directors BOND ISSUE IS PROPOSED Voters Will Be Asked to Author ize $3,000,000 Which Will Be Used in Construction Work Appeal of a committee of citizens that action on selection of a permanent su perintendent of public instruction be deferred until the city could be assured of the best man the country afforded was ignored by the board" of education Thursday ajid by vote oi xo x. n. wwi' .h Tk A rsrnuL now acting Buperin tendent, for a term of three years. The action was taken on recommendation of the educational affairs committee of the board. The board also authorized a program of school development comprehensive enough to cover the amount of a bond issue which the voters will be asked, to ,,rvrr of a snecial school election. Acting; upon the recommendations of the report of the committee on euuea tlonal affairs, signed by Director Orton or,H mni.nrnd in by Directors Thomas and Plummer, the election of Mr. Grout was effected after modifying we com- m-t- recommendations to make the tenure of office three years instead of one, upon the insistance or nr. ooraner. Benmer Favors Losg Term T think that Mr. Grout is unquestion. nhiv ft.verv sutjetior man as far as educational work and school org:.. iza tion is concerned," said Dr. Sommer. "He is a man of exceptional anu Ity jn our own state. I am eoing to lc VOU not to mane uie ni.- tnV that has been going on in the school organization regarding tha period of time. If you people have satisfied yourselves that he is the correct man, why not give hinc a term of four years so that he can actually take up the school problems and not be namperea iy a new election." Director Orton objected to the four year term, saying that the directors had no rleht to elect a man for a term ex tending beyond the tenure of office of all the directors, thus resulting in tr shortening of the term to three years, the date of the expiration of Directrr Orton's term of office, which runs'the longest of any -of the present directors. Term Hel of "o Moment That the actual term of office made little- difference was the belief of Di rector Plummer, since even though a man were elected for a certain period of time, the courts had decreed he cculd be unseated at the pleasure of the board at any time if they considered him un suited to the place. "I am perfectly willing to vote for this amendment, and am glad to vote this time for Mr. Grout." eaid riummer. "Many of my friends may think I am in consistent, but whllo I have been one of the most loyal friends Mr. Alderman bad I believed In him and still believe in him I do not believe I should fight anything that is against the best inter ests of the schools. I am voting freely and gladly without any coercion or in fluence." Director Drake, the one board mem ber who opposed the election, said j "I am not In favor of electing any lo cal man to this office. It Is best for the school district that this matter should be given to an outsider. I believe the petition presented at our last meet ing by a committee of citizens should have , been considered, and i should have consulted with them. While this resolution is courteous in expression' it practically places their request on file. X wish rou to record my vote as 'no!" -May Make Pretest Samuel May, instructor at Jefferson high school, who was in the audience. after several attempts at a protest, was granted leave to speak, briefly. "I protest as a taxpayer," he shouted. "X Intended to run for school director last year. I was to be anti-Alderman Mr. Thomas promised me that he thought Mr. Alderman's usefulness In the city was over, but no local man could handle the situation." "That is an Infernal falsehood,' re torted, Mr. Thomas hotly, jumping to bis feet. "I did not know you until I was elected." "Why, Mr. Thomas!" replied May in an Incredulous tone of reproach. Several members of the committee on employment and reconstruction, with Emery Olmstead aa spokesman, ap peared before the board, and placed be fore it the seriousness ef the employ ment situation, told of the response which the committee was receiving Jn its appeal to the legislature, the city commissioners and other agencies for emergency construction which would furnish labor to the thousands of men out of work as a result of cancellation of ship contracts and returning soldiers.

There is at present about 1300.000 in the bulldliur fund. It was decided the bond issue should' not be used-for purchasing land sites? except In caje of one high school, said "t)y Di rector Sommer to be necessary. This provision was made upon the sug gestion of members of the committee, who said thoee who expressed approval of the measure bad done bo on the as sumption, that -the bonds would be ex pended almost altogether ; on the con struction of new buildings and do con siderable sum would be spent on acquir inc sites, since the object of the issue was -primarily, to provide employment. The question of using a portion of the issue in raising teachers' salaries was dismissed as being illegal. Bef erred to Committee The matter of charging for beds oc cupied by soldiers at the Atkinson school was brought before the board by Mr. Olmstead upon the receipt of a telegram from the national association to the ef fect that it was contrary to the policy of the service to furnish free beds, believ ing it led to the making of bums. The - school board which had fur nished the building to the War Camp Community service did so on the ex-, press condition made with W. I Stannard, formerly in charge - of the service, that no ; charge should be made. Mr. Stannard. it is alleged. misrepresented the - attitude of the National War Carols' Community serv ice at the time, in so doing-. The matter was referred to 'the buildings and grounds commute with instruc tions to take up the subjet direct with the national headquarters. The remainder of the program con sisted largely of routine matters which were referred tot various committees for consideration. Three Slayers Are Sought m Chicago For Three Murders Chicago, Feb. 21.
