Appeal of a committee of citizens that
action on selection of a permanent su

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.
The committee expressed itself as wish

an expenditure of $3,000,000 in new build
ings, the money to be raised by a bond
issue to be voted upon by the people at
an early election. 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.
