Mrs. Marshall was <ju?stionfd for

President Wilson yesterday appealed
to the American people to ?ave the Red

sharply to mind the anguish and los.?
which lie, an intolerable and crushing
burden, upon the bodies and souls of
our neighbors across the seas. Our '

"Tho American Red ( ross, through
whose instrumentality hundreds of
thousands of our people have been able
to give substantial expression of their
pity for those who have fallen undet
the stroke of war, is nearing the ex?
haustion of its resources.
"Thi.t tho splendid work of this or
ganization, which, moro than any oth?

should be permitted to ceas/* i? un?

upon the peopl?. of the I'nited States

What Is the Gary Plan ?
By ALICE BARROWS FERNANDEZ
Tribune readers mill find in this department a
clear and authoritative account of the Wirt school
system, proposed for this city. Questions of parents
and teachers will be gladly answered. The de?
partment will appear on Mondays and Thursdays.
WHAT THF. WIRT PLAN DOES.
It take? children off the ?tree!?
and keep? them ?>hole?om?riy bu?y
?t ?ork, ?tudy and play for six or
?*?e\en hours a day.
It gives all children just a? much
academic work a? the traditional
school, but In lengthening the
school day It ?rives time for practi?
cal shop work, science, music, audi?
torium and play for all children.
WHAT THE WIRT PLAN MEANS.
To everv parent: \ rhantc to
gUe his child the enriched educa?
tional opportunities usually reserved
for the children of the favored few.
To teacher?: No more hours of
teaching; nuire congenial work.
To the community: Better ?III
sens; better school? for less cost.
Opposition Tactics of Parents' Associa?
tion?.
During the last yeah there has been
a growing r?siliation on th? part of
tho publ.e thiit paronts' associations in
thl? city are being used by the oppo?
nents of the Gary plan to create the im?
pression that there i? widespread op
ponition to the plan.
As Mr. Howard W. .\u.ld. of the Pub?
lic Education Association, stuted in
yesterday'? Tribune: "Carefully pre?
pared meetings are being held in sev?
eral ?Catien? of the city at which the
opponents of the plan are largely, if not
solely, the only speakers. Inadequate and
in many instances, distorted and grosa
ly misrepr-serited 'explanations' are
|:veti. accompanied at times by crude
ami un'air personalities. The obvious
purpose of these one?id?'d meeting? is
to create public prejudice by proilucing
such confusion and misunderstanding
as would naturally lead any group of
partially Informed people, however
well intentioned, to opposo positive ac?
tion regarding any plan that might be
so unfairly presented."
The Woman's Municipal League,
roused by these obviously unfair tac?
tics, has Issued a bulletin calling upon
parents' association? and mothers' clubs
to join the league in protesting against !
the following unfortunate elements
which have been allowed to enter the!
situation: 1. The presentation of only ,
one side of the question. 2. Having (
more speakers on one side than on the
other. 3. Failure to announce the
speakers in the press. 4. The introduc?
tion of personalities, cheap reference to
Mr. Wirt'e salary, petty bickerings, etc.,
Into the discussion. 5. The deliborate
mibstatement of facts. 6. The con?
demning of the whole plan because of
disagreement about unessential feat
1 ures of it. 7. The passing of resol
tiens as a result of only one mats mee
ing and without opportunity beir
given the members to ?tudy the pli
for themselves and verify the stat
; ments made on the platform.
Letter from Member of Parent?' As*
elation.
In view of this situation the follov
| ing letter from a member of the Pai
' ents' Association of P. S. 46, Manha
?tan, is of particular interest i thl
.school is in President Thomas W
Churchill'? district) :
"Dear Madam: I desire to call you
' attention to a Parents' Associatio
which wa? organized in P. S. 46, Mar
hattan, last May. I am a member o
this association, having four childre
attending this school.
Directors Control Association.
"At the time this Parents' Asaocia
lion was organized. 1 objected to
clause in the constitution which gav
the entire power of running and rulini
the association into the hands of th
board of directors, which was to con
el ainaicM, with seven officers
making a grand total of twenty-six.
hereby quote certain clauses from th?
constitution :
"'Article IV, Sec. 2? The boar?
of directors shall consist of the officer
of the association, tha principal ofth?
school, and seventeen member? electei
to represent the parents who have chit
dren in the various grades of th?
schol. . Nine members shall con?
stitute a quorum.
"'Article VII At all meeting? of th?
association twenty-one members shall
constitute a quorum."
"Now, you ?ee that twenty-one mem?
bers of the twenty-six officers and di?
rectors can rule and carry on the busi?
ness of the aasoeiatioBi even though
every member of the Parents' Associa?
tion of this public school belong to the
association. Or, better still, the nine
constituting a quorum of the board of
directors would rule and run the asso?
ciation, l.'p to the present time this is
exactly what has happened. Everything
is done and run by the board of direc?
tor?.
"'Article III. Sec. 1 The parents of
pupils now in the school, or the parents
of children formerly attending the
school, are eligible to become regular
members of the association.
" 'Sec. 2 Friends of the school, other
than parent?, are eligible to become
honorary members of the association.
" 'Sec. 3 The principal, assistant
principal and the teachers . . . the dis?
trict superintendent and member? of
the local board are honorary members
of the association.'
Parents Have No Voice in the Asaocia
tion.
"You see by those sections, and es?
pecially Section 1, that the actual par?
ents having children in the school
really would have litt!? to ?ay, especial?
ly where gag rule and clique rule have
taken the place of parliamentary rule.
" 'Article V. All matter? affecting
teachers or pupils, or the internal man?
agement or affair? of th? ?chool, must
frst be submitted in writing to the
board of director? for its action. No
action shall be taken by the ??"???ela?
tion thereon, nor ?hall there be any
discussion thereon at the metHing? of
the association, until a written report
i has been received by the association
j from the board of directors."
"You ?ee, the board of director? is
I almighty in itself, and every action i?
j to be first taken and decided before
i the board of directors.
"On this first meeting night, when 1
. objected to the board of directors being
! elected. I made a motion for a vote to
be taken by all of the parents present,
which must have numbered eIo?e on to
rive hundred. Through th? clique pres
, ent, and their determination to force
, through the constitution without tak
j ing a vote on it, more than half the
parants got up and left the school in
| disgust. This was where they made a
i great mistake, because in doing so they
left the situation at the mercy of the
I clique.
Parent Protest? Against Association
Action on Gary Plan.
"The meetings of these association?
, have proved to me conclusively that
the object of thi? board of director?
was 'o eliminate the parents altogether
from any proceeding? that ar? to be
carried on. All proceedings are held
' in the meetings of the board of direct
'* crs, and only reports of committees are
read at the meetingr. This board of
director* is made r.p principally of
lawyeri and real estate agents. At the
last two meeting? th?: action of this as?
sociation in permitting the mouth
1 of the Board of Education U. at?
tack ?he Gary system without giving
the opposite side-at* opportunity to
come in and debate the question, 1, as
a member of the Association, was de?
nied the floor on both occasions by this
prejudiced chairman.
"On November 17 the Board of Edu?
cation had thri'u other speakers to
come and attack the Gary system, one
a commissioner and another the edi
C r of one of our daily papers.
"Why not be frank and admit the real
grievance the Board of Education nas
?gainst the Gary system? It will ?lo
away with graft in the building of new
schools for the next ten years. Pos
libly you don't know how cleverly this
| is done. The Board of Education
wr.tes a specification that a certain
material be used. 1'nder the city
charter, thi? material must be riBnu
factored by two or more manufactur?
ers. If it is a patented article the
patentee croes to two other manufact?
urers and aerees to let them . anu
facture his patent on a royalty. Then
they jump the price 1,000 per cent
above the actual cost, and the m ten?
ais which are not patented, the manu?
facturer? get together the moment the
Board of Education specifies a c?. tain
material, and jump tne price 500 per
cent. The consequence of this is that
the City of N'cv York pays from 40 to
II per cent more for their schosi!
builslings than they should. Ths'
largest firms of architects and engt
neers in New York City will tell you
that the Board of Education could hire
the beat architects and the best engi?
neering firms in New York City and
pay them tho highest commissions de?
manded, and ?till get their buildings
for over 33 per cent less than what
they now cost.
"I cannot believe that this is a fight
made against the Gary system by the
Hoard of Education. I believe It to be
inspired by the manufacturers who are
paying for the advertising and for the
calling of mass meeting? to attack the
Gary system, because they have every?
thing to lose by the reduction In new
school buildings, and I believe^ that
these corporation? hare placed ."irmly
inside of the parents' associations '.heir
lawyers for the purpose of making
this fight against the Gary system.
Board of Education Never Fights for
Teachers.
"Again, through thi? field of adver
tising it would seem that many of those
[.aid articles would have us believe
that the teachers are in favor of help
ing the Board of Education to fip*h*
iiiiai-iM the Garv system. If the teach
ors ot this city will only look back foi
a short period of twenty-five year
they will note that the Board of Edu
cation has fought against them in ever>
light that they have made te bettei
their condition. They will not? thai
it is this same B?ard of Education thai
fought the women teachers of this
city le bitterly when they demanded
equal pay for equal work. They will
also note that it this sarae Board of
Education tbat told the woman teacher,
without any authority in accordance
with law, that she should not m?rry.
It was again this same Board of Edu?
cation that had the audacity to tell
this mamad teacher that ?he eould
not become a mother and continue to
?.?ach in our publie school?. It is tint?
that the people of this citv should de?
mand that the Board of Education are
the servant? of the people of the city,
that they are paid by the city for tbat
service, and without payment from thi?
city that they, being a state corpora
tion, would be of little value to them
Challenge to the Board.
"I challenge the Board of Education
to give roe the opportunity before it?
board to debate this question with an?,
of the member? from Public School 4t?
Parents' Association or any of the
other parents' associations in this city
in order to show that these associs
tions were formed under the Instruc
tion? of the Board of Education, in
furtherance of their propaganda against
the people of this city.
"Thanking you m advance for any
consideration that this or the people of
the City of New York is entitled to,
respectfully your?,
-EDWARD .1 Dl'GOAN.

At a recent meeting of s, parent?' as?
sociation in this city T. W. Metcalfe,
school editor of "The (?lobe," delivered
a speech so full of inaccuracies and
misrepresentations about the Tary
i.Ian that I challenged him to l?t me
have the speech in full for refutation.
That wa? ten days ago. So far Mr
Metcalf? has not honored me with his
statistics. Ho has published two dis?
connected sections of this speech, which
I shall take pleasure in answering next
Monday, before which day I hope that
Mr. Metcalfe will see his way clear to
submitting his speech in full.
