THE NEW YQRK TIMES. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 190G. Hi 3 1 i NEW SPELLING OPPOSED I IN NEW YORK SCHOOLS Jhc Studies Committee' Urges Against BOARD HAS A WARM SESSION Alcd Mosely Hear Commissioners Exchange Cemsliments, and Say It Was Very Interesting." i Tne Board of Education wu' requested i yesterday by it Studies Committee not I allow the 3uO shorter forms of spelling recommended by the Simplified Spelling Board to: be Introduced Into the schools. As a matter of courtesy to Commissioner Greene of the Studies Committee, who did not have a chance to sign the committee's i request. Toting on the question was de-1 ferred to the meeting two weeks hence, spirited discussion is expected at that time, as simplified spelling is not without i advocates In the board.

before the Summer recess the Simplified Cpelling Board, through i Mr. Greene, i atked the Board of Education to adopt the shorter forms. The matter was re-1 ferred to the Board of Superintendents, which, with City Supt. Maxwell concur- ring, voted In favor of It and asked the Board of Education to do likewise. The latter then referred the matter to Its I studies Committee for further lnvestla-tlon and report.

That committee held a public hearing on the question on Oct. Si. which was enlivened by a discussion between Rossi ter Johnson and Prof. Bran-cer Matthews over a letter to the former from Kiss Molly Elliot Sea well, who wrote that she was against the crazy spelllug advocated by cranks of high and low degree." The committee's request i yesterday was the result of that hearing. The committee realizes," says the re-' port, that a large number of the spell-! Ings listed by the Superintendents axe 1 those already in current use, but the proposition of the Board of Superintsad-i enta seeks in addition to effect consider ebla changes of spelling which are not -1 generally recognised.

To Introduce these into the public schools now would be In ths opinion of your committee an unwar-! ranted departure from the proper Tuno-! tlon of the Board of Education." This report was signed by Nathan 8. Jonas, Chairman; Leo Everett, Henry H. Sherman, and Joseph FrancollnL Measures were also taken by the board to prevent a repetition of the riots on the lower east side last June, which followed operations on school children for adenoid growths. The board voted to ask the Board of Health to perform operations of this character after school hours and with the knowledge and consent of the children's parents. Chairman Barrett of the Supplies Committee introduced the report.

He explained that his committee bad taken the action after Investigating a request from the Local School Board of District No. 4. I'd like to know how the matter wot to the Supplies Committee," said Chairman Stem of the Elementary Schools Committee, rather hotly. Through numerous complaints," replied Mr. Barrett With all due respect to the Supplies Committee, 1 want to say it is Infringing on the field of the Elementary Schools Committee," returned Mr.

Stern. "The members of that committee are Jealous of their functions and powera The matter la pucely within the functions of our committee, The Supplies Committee has a great deal to do supplying coal and fuel and trying to adjust salaries. I i'm-Ul do everything in my power to pro-! to against any infringement of the duiipi of my committee. Tf he' Supplies Committee has infringed on the duties of the Elementary Sciool Committee, it replied Mr. Barrett sarcastically.

The matter hs f.nally adjusted by Mr. Barrett presents the proposal In the form of a resolution. Befor tne meeting was over Mr. Storn had anothf set-to with Mr. Barrett.

1 he By-Law- Committee presented a report the barls of the allowance for supplies and thm was a Supt. Mux-well's opinion was solicited. Dr. Maxwell ald that since the amendment applied to the apportionment of money for supplies among the schools, and not for the purchasing of supplies, the avernse attendance was the more -accurate basts. "If It were based on the average register," he Balded.

there might be a temptation among Principals to keep pupils on the register that ought to be stricken qff in order to get supplies." The Chairman of the Supplies Committee says that if the City Superintendent is In favor of average attendance he Is satisfied, and thus entirely Ignores the By-laws Committee, of which I am a uiri Mi-. Stern, with some as- r. jerlty. "The uy-iaws uommmee ninu ndatlon after a thorough In vestigation. I contend.

Sir, that It Is Mr. Stem is In a critical mood." returned Mr. Barrett. I have known things to come from the By-laws Committee without the aid of his profound knowledge. I think everybody will admit th.at the experience of the City Superintendent Is more varied and profound than Mr.

Stern's." Mr. Stern also engaged City Supt. Max-Well In a controversy. Intermediate schools, which are calculated to overcome the part-time difficulty, were under consideration when Mr. Stern said: When the agitation for the shorter day and the question of part-time was before us, Supt.

Maxwell, with his' usual vehemence, contended that In a year or so part-time would be reduced to from 23 000 to 50,000 children. In opposition to tbls It was contended that he could not stop the grwth of the city. And he didn't. But then he Is human, and liable to make I would like to say," replied. Dr.

Maxwell, "that at the time Mr. Stern mentions I said that probably in four or five vers if the immigration increased at the then rate, and if the building operations continued at the then rate, the part-time problem would be within easy solution. I would like add that the number of children now on part time is not the largest we have seen. It was larger three years 1 Alfred Mosely, who Is bringing the English teachers here to Investigate our method- of education, occupied a seat beside President Winthroo during the meeting. He addressed the Commissioners, thanking them for the aid they have given htm.

He also said that the people of America roust make Inducements to secure the best brains for schoolmasters, which are drlft- tng Into more remunerative occupations, i and expressed the wish that American I teachers make a return visit to England. i assuring them of a warm welcome After the meeting Mr. Mosely was asked Ms opinion of the way the board did its I business. It was all very Interesting and worth I studying." he replied. DR.

An operation was performed yesterday aft ernoonj but, although it relieved his Suffering, failed to make any appreciable difference in his condition. Congressman Uttlefield Is very much worried over his son's condition and Mrs.

Uttlefield and her daughter, are In constant attendance on the patient. I The doctor consider the young man to be peculiarly liable to this form of blood poisoning. While on the 'Varsity ball earn at Tale' five years ago he was poisoned by coloring matter from a blue stocking, but pulled through after a hard Siege. He was very popular both at Vale and Phillips Andover, and classmates from all over the country have Wired sympathy. Mr.

Uttlefiefd." who' was a law clerk in Mr. Hughes's office and practically" the private! secretary of the Governor-elect, went through the entire campaign with Mr. Hughes editing the copies of his Speeches prepared for the press. As all of Mr. Hughes's speeches were extemporaneous.

It was necessary to send a corps of stenographers along with him to get irerbatim reports. These were -afterward transcribed on tissue paper with sheets Of carbion paper between the pages. I Mr. Littlefleld's task was to read every page of the speeches before they were given to the newspaper correspondents. During his first speech of the campaign, when this precaution had not been taken, a number of errors, made either in -ths stenographers' reports or In transmitting, crept Into the copy, and thereafter Mr.

Hughes; appointed Mf. Uttlefield to edit the speeches for such errors, i Mr. Hughes's speeches during the campaign consisted of over 900,000 words and Covered many pages of tissue, every one Of which Mr. Littlefleld handled.

There were at that time many Cases of- blood poisoning among the boys who handled the sheets, but these usually arose from contamination ef cuts or wounds on the hands through the chemicals In the papers. care was ex' ercised and there was freedom from abrasions on the hands or arms the flimsy sheets land carbon paper were bandied for long periods with impunity. I Hughes expressed his sincere regrets when he was told of Mr. Littlefleld's Illness last night. He said be had not heard that Mr.

Littlefleld had gone home, thought he was still lu the city. He at once telegraphed to Rockland, to get the details of his secretary's illness. RAILROADS ARE MERGED. i 1 New York and Pennsylvania Llnea Form a $20,000,000 Corporation. i ALBANY, Nov.
