Investigation of a wtdenlng difference j
of opinion among members of the Hoard
of Kdticatlon us to the results of the 1
operation of the fiary vocational school
plan under tho direction of Supt. William
Wirt of Onry. Ind., disclosed yesterday I
the fact that the contract between Kupt.
Wirt and Now York city, through the
Mayor and tho Comptroller, by which
Mr. Wirt was to receive MQ.Aftfl a year
for one week's work here a month, has
not yet been elgned "for technical rea
sons." Supt. Wirt has had a free hand
with his work In two public schools alnce ,
November 1 last year.
Hlnre his coming certain members of
the Uonrd of Education, Including eov
eral district superintendents, three or
four school principals and at least one
associate superintendent, havo visited
Gary and have reported their findings to
President Thomas W. Churchill. The
report of Associate Superintendent Ed
ward I). Shallow sioverely criticising the
"experiment" and the Gary euperln- '
tendent'e J 10,000 a year ealary hauls
110,000 a year for a quarter of n year's
work wns published In The Sun yes
terday. More than half a dozen other
reports made by tho visitors to Oary
nre now In the hnnds of the vocational
school committee of the board for con-(
slderatlon atvl recommendation.
nonrrl Jtrnilipm I)tnppol.itrd.
Many members of the hoard are disap
pointed over the results of tho Oary
plan. The board l divided as. to Its
practicability. In January Mayor
Mltehel visited Public School S9, which
had been turned over to Supt. Wirt
The Mayor, It Is said, found programmes
and plans conspicuous and listened at
tentively to Mr. Wlrt'a explanations.
They told mostly of needs and tho Hoard
of Education turned over to Supt. Wirt
Public School 5, which had been re
modelled for Supt. William L Kttlnger's
already working "modified Gary plan."
President Churchill when asked about
the probability of the board' acting on
the reporte now In committee said It win
problematical. A number of people, he
eatd, who attended the national depart
ment superintendents' convention at Cln-,
clnnatl three weeks ago visited (lary
through personal Interest nnd In order I
to see tho vocational school echemo '
working when things were not "on dreis
parade." Thev were not unanimous In
their reports to Mr Churchill, but the
board members opposed to spending
rlty money for the Oary experiment may
find much encouragement In perusing
them President Churchill Mid
Will lie- Studied Further.
"The reports of course will be studied
Just as th" experiment Itself and Its
results will be studied Nime who
have visited Oary are sceptical, others
seini to be pleased and others not at all
favorably Impressed. There are mary
good things In the plan, and tho whole
matter will be etudll further ,
No member of the school board een
yesterday would commit himself re
garding the contract with Supt Wirt
When Mr. Wirt came here last No
vember file contract by which he waa to I
get 110,000 a year for working about '
one week In a month was reported to
have been npproved by the Itiard of
Education, though at that time tho
salary excited criticism.
Supt Shallow said yesterday that
while pttipt Wirt has been working out
his scheme In two schools other sch .o'.s,
started laet August, have been operating
successfully on a modllbM (Vary plan, an
extension of a plan projected by Supt
K't'.nger In 1!'03. This plan, which has
found much favor with the school board,
was appllei In Public Schools i!4 and
95 In Manhattan, 5 and r, in Urooklyn
When Supt Win came to New York

sponsible for It, saying it was not h

Ettlnger, who asked for advice Supt
Wirt has since had control of Public
