SPOILS SYSTEM .SEEN IN SCHOOL BOARD AFFAIRS Choice Committee Appointments Fall to Tlrose Supporting President. ARSENAL TEACHERS WIN Committee appointments for 1921, announced by Mrs. Julia Belle Tute (viler, who was elected president of the board of school commissioners two weeks ago, at the meeting of the board last night, plainly indicated that the old political adage “to the victor belongs the spoils’’ is not yet obsolete. Mrs. Tutewiler’s election two weeks ago was assured by the three votes cast for her by Clarence E. Crippen, Bert S. Gadd and herseif, while W. D. Allison and Charles L. Barry cast their votes tot other persons and it was very noticeable that the most important committee appointments fell who voted for her. Mr. Crippen and Mr. Gadd are named on the important committee on instruction with Mr. Allison as the third member. Mr. Gadd is made chairman of the committee oh buildings and grounds, another committee of great importance, while Mr. Barry, who for thirteen years was captain of an Indiana National Guard infantry company and who has always been an ardent supporter of military instruction in the high schools of the city, was left oft of the military Instruction committee, of which he was chairman last year, and named on the committee of thanks and memorials, probably the least Important standing committee on the list. " hen military instruction was first consid_ ered by the board several years ago, Mr. Barry was actively In favor of it, while Mrs. Tutewiler opposed and voted against several motions looking to ita Installation In the local high schools.

WOMEN VOTERS' LEAGUE WINS TEACHERS' FIGHT. The list of appointments for teachers for the second semester of the school year, which opened Monday, showed that in the final analysis the League of Woolen Voters have come off with a lion s share of the honors in their fight for the reinstatement of the seventeen teachers at Araenal Technical' High School, who were offered temporary contracts last year, after taking a prominent part, along with D. B. Carroll, In the movement to obtain higher salaries for teachers. Last spring Mr. Carroll, who had taken a leading part in the movement, and who had made a splendid record in the Army during the war. was notified that he would not be offt*red a contrtct for the coming year. The other seventeen teachers were offered temporary contracts, and no effort on the part of either the teachers or the League of Women Voters could ever obtain from Superintendent E. |fiGraff, or the board itself, any definite for the action. f When the list of teachers was announced last night the names of thirteen of the seventeen appeared as having been given permanent appointments, while the other four and Mr. Carroll have given up the teaching profession. The outcome is generally looked upon as a big victory for the League of \\ omen Voters. Three members of the league, Miss Alma Sickler, Miss Eldena I.auter and Mis* Sara Lauter, all of whom took an active*part in the fight for the retention of the teachers were at the meeting. MBS.

considered of paramount importance. She urged a resumption of the building program, pointing out the shortage of school facilities in the city at the present time and the fact that building costs are falling rapidly. Another recommendation was that the military committee adopt a rule requiring each boy to make a deposit in cash covering the price of uniform and that this amount be refunded upon the return of the clothing. Mrs. Tutewiler said that last year the school board had been forced to pay out a large sum due to failure of the students to turn in suits, lost books and other articles. V The reading of Bible selections ana the repeating of the Lord's Prayer in ail .schools at the opening of the day’s work was also urged, the reading to be done without explanation or interpretation. This matter was referred to the Committee on Instruction' for consideration. A strong plea was made by the President for a ban on school plays in which members of the opposite sex kissed. She insisted that long continued rehearsals of plays containing scenes of this character cannot have other than a bad moral effect on the pupils. In closing, Mrs. Tutewiler made a plea for an adequate appropriation for library needs and called attention to the fact that the library now needs 100,000 additional books.

TEMPORARY LOAN AUTHORIZED. One of the most important matters to be acted upon was the authorization of a temporary loan of SBOO,OOO for the local tuition fund to meet teachers’ salaries until the May taxes are available. The money will be borrowed from the school building bond fund, in which there is now more than $2,200,000, more than 5t,000.000 of which will rot be needed until November. This loan must be approved by the State board of accounts and the State board of tax commissioners. A discussion of this matter brought out the fact that the board Is now working on tax money that will not come due until May hnd that it will have to borrow in the summer to pull through until the November installment of taxes are due. The Burleigh Choral Society, colored, was granted permission to use Caleb Mills Hall without rental charge on the evening of Feb. 21 for a concert for tbe benefit of the Mothers’ Aid Society. A communication from the Meridian Heights Church offering the board tbe free use of the church building except the auditoriuNn, for school purposes to relieve the crowded situation of School No. 70, which Is located directly across the street, was referred to the committee on instruction. The offer brought forth a number of appreciative remarks from board members fer the unselfishness of the offer. Charles E. Kush, city librarian, reported that ,the library committee had drafted a clause which It hopes physicians, lawyers, doctors, trtfst officers and clergymen will suggest to persons consulting them about the drawing of a will. The clause makes provision for donations to tbe library fund. A copy of the clause will be sent to all professional men In the above classes. Mr. Kush also reported that Henry J. Ryan, head of the Americanization committee of the American Legion, had offered to donate a digest of tbe work done by the legion to the library. This offer is made to Indianapolis, gs the home of the legion, and will not be made to otoher cities. Donations of? 50 each from Dr. J. B. Mcars and Ell Lilly A Cos. for tbe purchase of medical periodicals for the pub lie library were also reported. Mr Rush says these donations have been received annually since 1898. On recommendation of Superintendent Graff, Russel c. Lowell, director of vocational education, whs authorized to attend the convention of the National Social Vocational Education Society at Atlantte City Feb. 23-28. and Harry E. Wood, di-

rector of manual training, was authorized to attend a meeting of the National Manual Training Association to be held in Minneapolis. THIRTIETH STREET SCHOOL AFFAIR. The matter of anew school building in the neighborhood of Thirtieth street and College avenue was referred to the committe on grounds and buildings after a long discussion. Mr. Graff’s report showed that some children in this district are forced to go eighteen blocks to school, and that within a radius of eight blocks from College avenue and Thirtieth street there are 900 school children below the fifth grade. A special meeting of the board will he held at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon, Feb. 2, to consider plans and specifications and the building program recommended by the committee on grounds and buildings. A peculiar mistake was called to the attention of the board in the case of Mrs. O. S. Winterowd, janitress of school No. 73. By mistake she was placed on the payroll at $23 a month instead of $45, the salary paid for this class of work. For several months she drew her salary and finally complained. On motion of Mr. Barry the mistake was rectified and she was allowed back pay. The expeiditure of about $4,600 for emergency repairs was authorized. On recommendation of I A. Snider repair, of fences at Technical High School, t cost about $2,500, were authorized. It is believed that residents of Woodruff Place will stand about $750 of this expense.
