LIFTS THE SCHOOL BOARD LID
Br. J. J. Foster Tells What Has Been
Going On Inside.
PEOPLE TO JUDGE BY RECORD
BomethlnR nt th Cancns.3Indo
Plans of the nonrd that 3IU
cnrrlcd and Some at the
Reasons Why.
"I do not seek any personal contro
versy over school board matters, but
neither do I want to rest sllent'under un
deserved Imputation," said Dr. J. J. Fos
ter, refeninc to what has appeared In
The Bee about "the high school fracas."
"Everything i have done since I have
been on the board Is ot record, and I
have tried to be consistent along lines
deemed by me best for the schools. I
have never denied anything 1 havo done
or tried to do. As to 'double-crossing,'
all I want is for the public to have the
facts and Judge for themselves.
"In the first place, I went on the board
at tha same time with President Walker,
and he and I and one or two others
started out together with the same pro
fessed purposes. We were opposed to the
controllng faction headed by Dr. Hol
ovtchlner, and opposed to his olectlon to
the presidency. I knew we were In the
minority and were sure to be beaten, and
when Dr. Holovtchlner was elected presi
dent I was excluded from any desirable
commttteo appointments, which was what
was coming to me, and I made no com
plaint Let it be noted, though, that Kir.
Walker was given a committee chair
manship, and from that time was found
voting with Dr. Holovtchlner to carry
through all his plans. I want to say this
for Dr. Holovtchlner, that he never told
me he would do ono thing and then did
the opposite.
"When It came to the last reorganiza
tion of the board a succession of secret
caucuses were held, by the former mi
nority, which was soon to be the ma
jority. What was done in these caucuses
has become known to all the board, and
I feel free now to speak about them pub
licly. James Richardson, as the mem
ber of longest service, wanted to be pres
ident, and I thought he should be, but
Mr. Walker Insisted on having the pres
idency for himself, and Mr. Wchardson
yielded rather than have our combina
tion broken and the policies we had all
agreed upon miscarry. Practically our
whole program was discussed In these
caucuses and it was understood that wo
were to support what was decided upon.
Plan to Cnnnnre Superintendent.
"Regardless of denials, it may as well
be known that the displacement of Su
perintendent Graff and tho appointment
of Miss McIIugh In his place, was fully
determined upon by our caucus. It had
been reported to us that Mr. Graff had
led the high school teachers to look for
salary increases contrary to our policy
of retrenchment, and President Walker
was moat active and outspoken for the
change. Superintendent Graff was called
in and told he could find another place
endows ascertained that Miss McIIugh
was willing to accept, provided a vacancy
actually existed and she was not to be a
candidate against anyone. Mr. Walker
kept Editor Watson and Editor Polcar
of the two papers fully advised of thesa
moves in fact, of all the moves of our
caucuses and the publication In thoso
papers of the coming change in superin
tendency was made, I am reliably in
formed with his knowledge and consent.
The Bee was not supposed to be In our
confidence, and was thus to left to get
this news from its competitors.
"What was our surprise then to find In'
The Bee the next day a signed statement
from President Walker, not only denying
the whole thing, but pledging his nupport
to Superintendent Graff for re-election
and, upsetting the whole program. I h&.va
nothing personal against Superintendent
Graff, although I admit I was ready to
make the change in the superintendence
as a part of the general policy we were
seeking to apply to the schools.
How Retrenchment Projrrnm Fell.
"The same thing is true with reference
to the abollitlon of the summer school and
of the teachers' training school, and the
I eduction of certain excessive salaried,
except that discontinuance of the summer
school alone has been pat through as
agreed upon. I am willing to have every
one know what salaries I wanted to cut,
ana my reasons, and to stand by them
1 never opposed the election of anyone to
a position I thought he or she was not
qualified for or entitled to and then
turned around and voted an increase in
salary after the appointment was made
over my protest.
"Now, as to the high school vice prin
cipalshlp, I think I have been consistent
here, for I have steadfastly favored a
man for the position and Mr, McMillan
being the only man candidate, -with no
ono questioning his fitness, I was for
Mr. McMillan. Member Richardson, it Is
true, felt bound to have the position go
to a woman, supposedly by his enthusiasm
for woman suffrage, and thought he had
the unwavering support ot President
Walker, The two of them came to the
teachers' committee meeting when that
question was to be settled with the under
standing that they were to tell us they
would both resign unless a woman were
named. Mr, Richardson has resigned, but
his is the only resignation eo far re-,
celved.
"Lot me repeat again that I am stand
ing squarely on my record In the school
board, and only want all the facts known,
so the public may Judge fairly."
TWO MEN TALK TOO MUCH
TO JUDGE FOR OWN GOOD
The gift of speech turned the tide In
police court and sent two men. Sam
McKnlght and Jim Kelly, to Jail for SO
days after they had been given a sus
pended 60-day sentence for prowling
about the Illinois Central yards.
"Will you prpmlia to stay closer to
your homes if I let you off with this sus
pended sentence?" jisked Police Judge
Foster.
fSure we will. Tour Honor." spoke up
McKnlght, "but let me tell you one
thing, wo ain't guilty of nothing and '
oughtn't to be in court here at ail."
Thirty days each for too much gab " I
t a d the Judge, and the prisoners were j
it. II Jabbering when led back to the i
