FAVORS RECALL OF BOARD
(Continued from Page One)
were considering n smtabM medium of
arbitration, B. J. Palmer, who was in
attendanco at the state school con
vention at Albany, broached the sub
ject to State Superintendent Church
ill who absolutely refused to act n
arbitrator, statimr that tho plan had
been tried unsuccessfully in school
controversies in several cities of bav
ins nn outsider hrouirht 'n us arbiter.
C'olvle; Down to Tucks
After this explanation Judge Col
vie; was the first speaker and at once
not down to tacks statiiiL' that the
board was actinir uiruinst the wishes
of the majority of the people, and
that this was a democracy in which
the people ruled. The matter Had
roaehed such a distressing stage
through the hoard's arbitrary actions,
he said, that the time had conic for
the taxpayers and school patrons io
take drastic action and assert their
power and authority.
He named three courses of possible
action. First, a recall petition re-
movinir two of tho board members.
Second, the passing of a resolution
asking tho entire board to resign, and
third, tho adoption of n resolution
calling upon Superintendent Daven
port to resign "in accordance with
the wishes of the majority of the
people." Judge Colvig then intro
duced samplo resolutions calling for
the board's and superintendent's
lesignations.
Mansfield's Now Scheme
George A. Mansfield, the next
speaker, dilated on the deep trouble
in the schools which he said could
only bo remedied by radical means,
llo said he had a sane, sensible, fair
scheme which be thuught would end
tho controversy, but was embarrassed
from submitting it because of tho ab
sence from the meeting of the board
and superintendent. However, he
would relate it anyhow.
. The scheme was for the board and
superintendent to hand in their resig
nations at once, und then standing
on their position that thev and Super
intendent Davenport had been nnd
wore right, to stand for re-election
ut the Juno election, against a ticket
put up by the opponents of the board
und superintendent. Thus, the voters
could express their will and. the ma
jority would rule, whichever side won.
'Tho board and Mr. Davenport
have not taken tho people into their
confidence heretofore," said Mr.
Mansfield. "And one thing is cer
tain, and that is that Mr. Davenport's
influence, whether he bo right or
wrong, is absolutely, destroyed, nn.l ho
can never build up the schools."
The Hoard's Position
Then Chairman Clancy, in the ab
sence of the board or its represents
tivo. himself took up the side of the
school board, being thoroughly fa
miliar with its views. He dechue
that the members of the board were
all honorable men who have the wel
fare of the community at heart, lie
told, how the hourd started in tlic'.r
plan to bring the Medford schools to
a higher standard, a part of which
plan wns tho bringing in as superin
tendent tho best available lor the
money nt that time, Mr. Davenport
who was hired for three years,
"lie may not have been tactful
and he may have made mistakes." Dr.
Clancy continued, "and ho did the
best he could. The Imurd think
that he has done right, nnd thut the
thinking part of this community is
behind him and the board. The board':
position is: "We will fall or stand
bv what we hnvo done."
I'hipps Enters the Arena
W. E. Philips, the next speaker,
arose to correct that part of Dr.
Clancy's remarks to the effect that
Mr. Davenport was thir best avail
able man for the money. He declares
ho was not hired because he was the
best obtainable for the price.
but was employed bv four me:n
bers of the board without they
ever having seen him, only on his own
and several other recommendations.
Mr. Phipps was a minority member of
the board nt the time Mr. Davenport
was hired, nnd he declared that until
he retired from the board to private
life he had always backed up Mr.
Davenport ns superintendent. Mr.
Phipps also asserted thut whilo he
wns a member of tho present board
ho had to fight to get liny Me'lford
or Oregon teacher employed.
He stated that when the new siipei
intendencv was up Professor Kirk of
the Oregon City schools, a well known
Oregon educator of experience und
fine record, nnd who wns endorsed
by President Aekerninii jf the slfite
normal schools, was here personally
ns nn applicant lor the position of
head of the Medford schools. Mr.
Phipps also stated that President
Ackerman had recommended the em
ployment of an Oregon superinten
dent, familiar with Oregon and her
schools and people.
"Let this meeting now be one of
action,'' said A. C. Allen. "The hoard
has turned down arbitration propo
sitions three times and I bclievo in
tends to remain on its position of
standing pat. The time is past Tol
as to continue begging of our serv
ants. The time has come for ir
in dictate. Let us now have action."
Judge Colvig then made the motion
for the recall of Messrs. Palmer arid
(larnett. "Thev are both good friends
of mine and 1 want to see them re
called.' he said.
Dr. Hedges moved an amendment
to the motion thut first a committee
be appointed to call mi the board and
present the Mansfield scheme, but ho
he at once withdrew the amendment
when Chairman Clancy remarked that
Mr. Mansfield had already broached
it to several members of the hoard
ami Superintendent Davenport, and
that thev had rejected it. Mr. Mans
field reluctantly continued this as
sertion.
The Colvig recall resolution was
then adopted and the meeting was
adjourned.
The resolution calling on Mr.
Davenport to resign was not noted
on anil was withdrawn bv the lenders
of the meeting, as it was regarded
that the recall vote would be so over
whelming that it wonid bo superfluous.
