PARK POINT PRINCIPAL IS
EXONERATED BY COMMITTEE
Miss Lillian Hanson Found not Guilty of Undue
Severity In Strapping Boys—Petition Is
Presented In Principal’s Behalf,
Miss Lillian Hanson, principal of
the Park Point school, has been
cleared of charges of undue severity
in inflicting corporal punishment
on pupils who attend the very
modern temple of learning in that
historic suburb.
It took considerable doing be
fore the committee on schools and
teachers arrived at Its conclusions.
A very long hour was used up at
the regular meeting of the board
of education on Monday evening,
June 11. The charges formally
presented at that time and quite
lengthily discussed, caused the board
to refer matters to the committee
on schools and teachers for a for
mal investigation. Tuesday mor
ning, at 3 o’clock, was the time
set and the administration *uild
ing was the place designated.
There were three or four com
plainants. Olaf Hanson, who resides
at 1717 Minnesota. avenue, charged
that his son Rockford, aged nine
years, was so severly strapped Nov.
16, 1922, that he bore black and
blue marks on his back and seat
for about ten days.
Mrs. F. P. Bergmarker, 1620
Minnesota avenue, complained that
her 9-year-old son was “licked” at
the same time, place and in the
same manner as young Hanson, by
Prln. Hanson, "with such force and
effect as to leave marks for about
seven days. The indignant mother’s
contention was that her bo. was
merely a spectator, not a participant
in the boyish stunts that brought
a strapping to five of them.
Mrs. Gerrlt Vandenberg, 1102
Minnesota avenue, charged that 1 ?
9-year-old son was unjustly and too
severely strapped for chasing
Dorothy Watterson, the little lady
in the case. The mother complain
ant believed that a razor stro:>
was too severe a medium of chas
tisement. She felt that her child
was unsafe and that such punish
ment brought hats.
Although complete details were
not formally related, it seems that
five or six boys, from eight to nine
years old, treated little Dorothy
Watterson rather roughly on the<
way home from school. She seems
to have been chased, next thrown
down and then her hands and feet
held while several kisses ~ re ad
ministered by one of her young
admirers.
Evidence was brought out to the
effect that Rockford Hanson was
“dared” to kiss Dorothy and that
be declared he would perform that
deleetable stunt if the boys would
spread-eagle her so that neither
kicks nor scratches would be his
penalty for so bold an act.
The spread-eagling and kiaaing
duly followed and, with and after
that stunt, the little girl was hit
and hurt with a stick. The Rip
saw scribe also gained the im
pression that Dorothy’s tender little
tummy was bruised and injured by
the amorous but rather rough and
ungaHant system of osculation. In
stead of returning a kiss for a
blow, Rockford Hanson and his
little friends seem to have handed
Dorothy both kisses and blows.
Frau Bergmarker, intimat d, how
ever, that Dorothy, a modern and
juvenile Helen of Troy, is credited
with playing with the boys ra her
than the girls. Other evidence on
that point did not appear.
Then there was a complaint.from
Mrs. Alice L r McLeod, 2221 Minne
sota avenue, to the effect that Miss
Evelyn May Bark, a grade teacher
in the Park Point school, slapped
her angelic Alexander so hard on
the face that he repeatedly had
copious hemorrhages of the nose
for all of two weeks. Mrs. McLeod
also expressed rather a poor opinion
of Miss Hanson’s disciplinary
methods.
The hearing opened with reason
able promptness. About fifty of the
LITTLE PIGGERIES ABOUND

Since Crowley Brothers, Col. Har
per, McDonald, Bchaeffer and Mc-
Kenzie and other notorious blind
piggers have had such bad luck
with federal raiders and city police,
big boozeries, with high rents and
an expensive staff of trained bar
tenders, have gone out of fashion.
Modest little cottage blindpigs,
something capable of being con
fined to the parlor, a bedroom or
•ven a kitchenette, are very fashion
able and even successful just now.
Eddie Nelson’s prosperous dump
al E. First St., is a fine
example of a parlor pig. The two

Beltons place are still more modest
examples of parlor pigs. Another Is

Park Pointers were present, the
mere males being greatly outnum
bered by the well dressed and
highly intelligent women. Director
Crassweller, by virtue of his posi
tion as president of the board, pre
sided. Directors Coole and Barnes
were present as members of the
committee. Director Hunt, third
member of the committee, was
absent, therefore Madam director
Colton appeared in his place. Supt.
Bentley sat at the head of the
table at Mr. Crassweller’s left,
while Miss Hanson occupied a seat
before the bar of Justice, as “Bub”
Pugh's court martial might say,
at Mr. Crassweller’s right. A pul
chritudinous stenographer, very easy
to look at, came in to take down
the testimony, but she finally de
cided that she was not in practice,
therefore another stenographer, not
so voluminously pulchritudinous,
but just about as easy to gaze
upon, appeared with her pencil
and paper. Some of the excitable
witnesses talked so rapidly that the
steno. was hard pushed to get their
talk all down, but there was plenty
without what she failed to catch.
Chief complainant Hanson briefly
told the story of the sad strapping
of little Rockford, from his stand
point. He stated that he first called
up Miss Hanson, after he learned
of the strapping, and Informed her
that he would keep Rockford out
of school until the matter was
straightened out.
Mr. Hanson next called up Ass’t
Supt. Starkweather and reported
the matter. Mr. Starkweather prom
ised immediate investigation. Not
hearing anything, Mr. Hanson again
called up Starkweather. Noth
ing was reported after that second
calling up, thereby causing Mr.
Hanson to feel that that the poet’s
words applied to “Sunny Jim,” viz:
A man of words and not of deeds,
Is like a garden full of weeds.
Mesdames Bergmarker, Vanden
berg and McLeod repeated their
respective stories of the evening
before, with variations. They rooted
hard against the alleged strappings
-and expressed lack of confidence
in the soundness of Miss Hanson’s
disciplinary methods.
Mrs. McLeod also went Into the
story of her 11-year-old Alexander’s
slap on the face by Mlsa Bark,
which brought repeated add-copious
hemorrhages of the nose tor all
of two weeks. w
Mrs. McLeod stated that Mrs.
Jack Sheehan was too nervous to
come and divulge her knowledge
and opinion of corporal punishment
at the Park Point school.
Mrs. J. R. Watterson 1616 Minne
sota avenue told the story of
Dorothy’s condition when the child
came home after being chased,
spread-eagled and kissed by the
amorous Httle cave-men. Mr. Wat
terson added his mite and rooteft
hard for Miss Hanson.
Mrs. W. O. Smith, 2721 Minne
sota ave., spake strongly in behalf
of Prin. Hanson. Said the patron
of the Park Point schools: “Miss
Hanson is strict, but justly so.”
Miss Bark next testified in her
own behalf in reply to Mrs. Mc-
Leod’s allegations as to rough treat
ment given the angelic Alexander.
On the sad day, when the slender
little teacher was charged with
bursting the blood-vessels in Alex
ander’s facial sector, that hopeful
rushed through the other pupils as
they were massed in or near the
cloak-room. Being taken to task,
he talked back and then grinned
derisively. Patience ceasing to be
a virtue, therefore, the little teach
er, about as big as a pint of cider
and entirely in the light-weight
class physically, slapped Alexander
across the face. His nose became
“bluggy” and the youngster was
taken to the medical Inspection
Johnson and his wife appear to be
about 30 years of age, hence both
they and the redlight girls are
old enough to know better than to
indulge in such lawless stunts.
Colonel Wick vends booze at his
big green house at the East end of
the alley that runs East and West
between First and Second streets
and between Second and Third
avenues East. Either federal men
or the city’s cleanup squad might
do worse than to give Col. Wick’s
big house a thorough search.
Colonel Otto Warrl resides at 112
N. First Ave. E., on the middle
floor. He’s the chap who has fined
S4O for stealing Mrs. Reinhart’s
bulldog a few weeks ago. He sells
booze at 25 cents a drink. Marie
Lempl, a girl about 20 years of
age, runs the redlight end of the
lawless and nasty business. Madam
Warrl Is the barn boss, so to .speak.
The place Is a very busy one but
those responsible for It are very,
very cautious.
Drunken men have been seen
coming out of 111 N. First Ave.
Wtherefore it is assumed that Col.
Mjisolf’s Moon Qod shrine still Is

water were given his face and the
back of his neck. He scrubbed his
face with paper until it waa red.
Mrs. McLeod charged that Alex
ander’s face showed his teacher’s
finger prints. Miss Bark main
tained that the red streaks on the
boy’s face came from too hard a
rubbing with the paper toweling.
She also refuted the charge of
taking Alexander roughly by the
neck with the allegation that she
was not physically strong enough
to take an active 11-year-old boy
roughly by the back of the neck.
Further than that, she stated that
she was not a teacher who tried
to practice cave-woman stunts.
Mr. Watterson, by the way, filed
a petition, signed by 228 Park
Pointers, expressing confidence in
Miss Hanson and asking that she
be retained as principal, for. an
other year.
Mrs. Walter Marvin, for many
years a resident of Park Point,
but now living at Lakeside, spoke
in behalf of Miss Hanson, as did
other women who were present. .
Truant, officer Doughty was
present and briefly told of his In
vestigation of the rough treatment
of little Dorothy and his investiga
tion of the strapping. He did not
appear to believe that tbs' dis
cipline had been too 'Strenuous. - -
John L. Morrison, a patron of
the Park Pslnt school, declared
that he admired Mrs. McLeod’s
mother-love, but -that two of her
boys terrorized the Point at various
times and in various ways. * He
expressed the opinion that, had the
board’s executives acted promptly
and not permitted the aggrieved
patrons to feel that they were
being brushed aside and ignored,
there would not have been so
serious a rupture of peace and
harmony in the'Park Point district.
He spoke highly of Mr. Hanson as
a citizen and thought that, had
that gentlemen not felt that the
school authorities were 1 “playihg
horse” with him, he would not
have become so sadly aggrieved.
The strap, by the way, was
present and in evidence. It was a
light leather razor strop, of single
thickness, rather thin and light and
very flexible. It was unstitched and
had no metal trimmings. It was
a very weak Instrument of punish
ment, compared with the stiff and
heavy pieces' of harness leather
with which boys were chastised
by the stern old grangers where
the old head-sawyer was reared.
He also declared that very stern
discipline *as needed by many of
the pupils in that school.
Miss Hanson, the principal, told
her side of the story. She declared
that only five blows were given
each boy, as be was stretched across
the seat of a chair, face downward.
She stated that she did not strap
boys across the back, because of
danger of spinal Injury, but aimed
to plant the strokes in the proper
place, so wisely provided by Mother
Nature. > • d
Miss Hanson said that the rec.’p
iente of the strapping showed a
splendid spirit. Some of them ad
mitted that they got just what they
deserved. She was much pleased
with the reaction that followed the
strapping. One little cutup was so
happy after the storm-clouds rolled
by that he even hugged his prin
cipal. Since then, the little boys
have shown deep regard for her.
Supt. Bentley also spoke in good
spirit and admitted that more sym
pathy and cooperation between
parents, teachers and school author
ities was needed. He did not think,
however, that the pupils in the
Park Point School were any Worte
than those in the other schools.
During the hearing, it was brought
out by a number of witnesses that
at least some of the commotion
over last November’s strapping had
been stirred up through neighbor
hood differences.
It did not take the committee
on schools and teachers long to
prepare a statement in which Miss
Hanson was exonerated. Signed by
R. J. Code and Mrs. Julius H.
Barnes, that statement was as fol
lows, viz: _
“The committee listened to the
charges against the administration
of the Park Point school, as pre
ferred by Olaf Hanson, Mrs., Jo®
Vandenberg, and Mrs. F. P. Berg
marker. Those charges were that
Miss Hanson, principal of the Park
Point school, had inflicted Inhuman
and unnecessary punishment on
their boys. The committee heard
statements made by these parties
and by other residents of Pfifk
Point and also by officers of the
schools. ,
“The committee wishes to re
port, after carefully considering the
evidence presented, that It. .cannot
sustain any of the charges pres
ented.

LOCAL SURVEY UNFAIR TO
CITY’S SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Despite Allegations of Bentley and Majority Board
Members, School Buildings of Duluth Stand
~ Second in List Under Rating System,
Believing many' unfortunate and
unfair impressions have resulted
from the recent survey of the Du
luth school plant, the Duluth Archi
tects’ Association appointed a com
mittee to investigate this survey,
and the following comparative re
port is submitted to the members
of the School Board and the publie
for their careful consideration.
It is being- publicly said on
the basis of this survey that taken
as a whole the Duluth school build
ings are only 62.8 percent efficient
for echool purposes as compared
with standard school buildings.
There are many citizens who do
not appreciate that the standard
thns adopted Is a theoretically per
fect building, perfectly located and
perfectly equipped. The impression
is. Invited that Duluth lacks these
school building facilities which are
to be found in other eities, and in
consequence Dulnth is unfavorably
advertised both at home, and abroad.
Our Information is that Duluth
stands second In the list of these
cities with school plants rated under
this theoretical system. Hackensack,
N. J. is first with a score of 65
per cent# or only two points over
Duluth. The list is as follows:
Hackensack, N. J., first, with
six schools.
Duluth, Minn., second, with
thirty-eight schools.
Patterson, N< U., , -third, with
twenty-five schools.
• Passaic, N. J., * fourth, with
twelve schools.
Omaha, Neb., fifth# with fifty
two schools.
v Philadelphia, Pa.,(Sixth, with three
hundred and twenty-*ne schools.
St. Paul, Minn., •eeventh, with
forty-fifne schools. -
Baltimore, Md., eighth, with one
hundred and forty isihecls.
Atlanta, Ga.# ninths with sixty
four ‘schools.
Greensboro, N. C., s tenth, with
eleven schools. ,
Winona, Minn., Steventh, number
of schools unknown. ‘ ~
- The following comparison has
been ipade of the Duluth survey
with that of Hackensack, the city
having the highest score. If might
also he noted the high score
of a Hackensack school Uj, 803,
whits Duluth has six schools scoring
above 802. the Aigh esore*being-870.-
Attention should alto be called to
the fact that while Duluth has 40
per eent of her pupils attending
Schools in buildings built previous
to 1900, Hackensack has only 13
per cent, of their pupils attending
school in buildings built ; previous
to 1900. '
In the; very Important item of
buildings, class rooms, and service
systems, the Duluth school plant
stands, higher than Hackensack. Du
luth school buildings are marked
117 on this theoretical score while
.Hackensack buildings are only
marked 111.
In the Important item ef class
rooms, Duluth class rooms are
marked 212 while Hackensack class
rooms are only marked 210; and
fn the relation of window glass area
to floor area, Duluth scores 84.8
per cent standard or better while
Hackensack scores 89.6 per cent,
only 4.8 per cent more than Du
luth. In this connection Strayer
and Englehardt say of the Hacken
sack class rooms:
In general, it should be stated
that the Hackensack class-rooms
rank high as compared with class
rooms of other school systems.”
The general, it should be stated
that the Hackensack class-rooms
rank high as compared with class
rooms of other school systems.”
The Duluth service system is
rated higher than Hackensack In
three of the four groupings pro
vided.
NEW CITY HALL PROBLEMS
Taxpayers’ League Wonders How Million Dollars
Can Be Stretched to Meet the Requirements
of Million and a Half Simoleons.
. As stated in a previous issue,
the Rip-saw is strongly against the
erection of a bob-tailed city hall.
In other words, It 1 Is tnot in favor
of cutting down * tho size of
the- proposed building merely to
cut down the cost, f The proposed
structure should bet fully in har
mony with the gmptpg plan for
the county courthoasea the city hall
and the U. S. poeO-oMice. If the
cost is greater than the city Is
warranted In incurring at the pres
ent time, then take longer 'in
providing the money and doing the
construction work. The. new city
haljl. -should be erected for the
future* as well as the present. Mere
desire to cut down the cost should
not be permitted to utduly influence
the planning of the ( structure.
The experts of the Taxpayers’
League , have prepared a bulletin
which was issued under date of
June 4. Anything from
such a body Is worthy of being
read, studied and considered. The
Rip-saw gives space to the ex
pression by the Taxpayers’ League
no that the many readers of the
Great Family Journal not members
of the Taxpayers’ League Can have
thf benefit, whatever it may be.
u The Hackensack surrey was made
by Professors Strayer and Engle
hardtof Columbia university who
devised this theoretical scoring sys
tem. Their report with reference to
the Hackensack school plant, which
grades only 2 per cent better than
the Duluth school plant, the second
In the entire list, is that:
’ “The echool plant has been ef
ficiently planned and exceedingly
well maintained.”
Under these Conditions It seems
reasonable to say that the same
observations' could be said vith
reference' to the Duluth school
plant. Nothing of the kind, how
ever, is to be gathered from the
local survey.. On page 37 of the
printed report of the Duluth sur
vey the conclusions of the local
Survey Board are stated. Nothing
Is to be there found complimentary
of the Duluth school plant, which,
on the basis of this theoretical
survey, must be considered as one
of the best in the country. The
fact is that every part of the plant
is criticised, unjustly condemned
and the Impression given that the
Duluth school plant is absolutely
-unsatisfactory.
We seriously question the state
ment in the local survey that “the
Duluth school buildings are poorly
protected against fire.” Under this
heading the Duluth school survey
marks Duluth a theoretical 45 per
cent. The Hackensack score on fire
protection of buildings by Strayer
and Englehardt, themselves, was
only 51 per cent, or six points
better than Duluth. That this is in
fact a very high percentage is
evident from what Professors
Strayer and Englehardt say with
reference to the Hackensack schools,
as follows:
"In general the survey commit
tee has. found that Hackensack has
given more thought to the sr *ety
of Its children than la. given in
any other city, the school buildings
ot which it has analyzed.”
Great stress has been laid on the
fact that in Duluth only 16 per
cent of black hoard chalk rails
were oif standard height as allowed
.by this, theoretical survey, but noth
ing is said regarding 52.8 per cent
of the black board chalk rails which
are better than standard, making
68.8 per cent of black boards and
chalk- raGe ef the height required
by our state laws'and leaving only
31.2 per £ehf which are not of
proper height according to either
State Laws or this theoretical sur
vey. From all the foregoing it is
apparent that Duluth does not suf
fer from comparison with other
cities.
We understand that in general
the Duluth school buildings, and
certainly all such buildings erected
in recent years, not only meet the
requirements ol the Duluth build
ing code but also those of the
Minnesota state board of education.
For years past the State board of
education has japproved the plans
of practically every school build
ing constructed in the State of
Minnesota. State aid for schools is
based in part on the approval of
building as constructed, and Du
luth has received and we are in
formed now receives such State »ld.
Our own people, as well as
strangers, who may form some
opinion of Duluth from its school
buildings, are entitled to know that
the Duluth school plant is not
inferior. School buildings as well
as school equipment represent a
large outlay of public money, all
of which is to be raised by taxes.
>lt is Impossible to rebuild schools
to keep pace with the theory of
education. Schools once built must
continue to be used as long as
they are safe, sanitary, and reason
ably adapted to practical purposes.
This is common sense.
We believe that Duluth citizens
Let it be understood that the Rip
saw does not necessarily approve
of all the Ideas offered In said
bulletin, which reads as follows,
viz:
How can a million and a half
dollar city hall be built with a
million dollars?
The architects have designed a
building that they estimate will
cost in the neighborhood of sl,-
250,000., >
The site will cost $291,960, in
cluding Interest. Of this amount
$88,784 has been paid.
The estimated cost of furnish
ing and equipping the building is
m.troo.
The total cost, therefore, will he
$1,616,960.
No provision has made for a
police headquarters and city jail.
This must be built, and should be
considered as part of the total
cost. '» >"'■'
By authorization of the state
legislature, the eity may issue bonds
in of $1,000,000, "for
the purpose, of acquiring a site,

generally will be glad to know f hat
even on the basis of a theoretical
standard, which contemplates the
perfect school plant, that Duluth
ranks second among all the cities
thus far surveyed. The information
on which all the foregoing is
written has been obtained through
correspondence and from copies of
these surveys, and is considered
reliable.
IT MEANT VERY LITTLE.
Mrs. Wordey visited *the Bronx
Zoo and a keeper, with much awe
in his voice, informed her that
the turtle at which she was gazing
was three hundred years old.
“I suppose that’s awfully old,”
she said, ’’but it looks just like
a big rock anyway, so what differ
ence does it make?”—N. Y. Tele
graph.
ed: viz., (1) that the eize of the
building be cut down, so that H can
be built within the million dollar
■figure; (2) that the contracts be
let piecemeal, as available funds
permit; (S) that $160,000 betaken
from next year’s tax levy, which
in addition to the million in bonds
would be sufficient for all the work
that can be done before the next
tax levying time; then in the 1925
levy, the balance necessary for
completing the building might be
levied; (4) that a bonding proposi
tion be submitted to the people at
once, asking approval of possibly
$500,000 additional bonds, or as
much thereof as may be necessary
to complete the project.
The first plan is desirable so far
as the amount of money is con
cerned, but it raises the question
of how seriously it will interfere
with the grouping plan, if the size
of the building is materially re
duced. ,
The second plan has the ad
vantage of starting something im
mediately, but has the disadvantage
of committing the city to an un
certain end.
The third plan Is, perhaps, the
easiest way -§uC from the cfty
council’s poinrof view. Under the
sl6 per capita limitation, the city
may levy $300,000 in excess of the
amount allowed this year Under the
sixteen mill limit. It is thought by
many that it is better to get at
least half of this into some per
manent Improvement, which will
stand for many years to come,
rather than to have It expende 1 • n
some current expense that will have
no lasting benefit. However, the
matter of levying $150,000 against
the taxpayer of 1924 is no slight
matter. It will of itself make a
two mill increase in the tax rate.
It mpy reasonably be questioned,
whether it is right or Just to make
the taxpayers of 1924 and 1926
pay 20 per cent of the cost of a
building, which, in all probability,
will last for at least 60 years.
The plan of submitting an ad
ditional bond proposition to the
people has the advantage of giving
the citizens a chance to say how
much they are willing to pay for a
city hall. If the bonds are voted,
the present plans may be accepted,
and construction started. If they
are rejected, the city council will
know that the citizens do not wish
to Bpend more than f 1,000,000 for
the city hall. It will then be
necessary to revise the plans. The
disadvantage of the scheme is,
that a special election costs money,
though if held at the same time
as the senatorial election, the cost
would be small.
The Taxpayers’ League favors the
first proposal. It is believed that
$1,000,000 is sufficient to build and
equip a city hall adequate for many
years to come. Dayton, Ohio is
building a city hall that will cost
SBOO,OOO. Many other cities are
satisfied with a building costing
even less.
Many other propositions, vital to
tLe welfare of Duluth, are so nec
essary that it doe not seem wise
to burden the taxpayer with a
municipal building costing in excess
of a million dollars.
While it is believed that the cost
of the site should also some from
the million dollars, it is not likely
that any serious criticism will be
encountered if some of that cost
is paid for out of direct taxation.
The proposed building will pro
vide six times as much office space
as the present quarters. It would
seem that, so far as the city gov
ernment is concerned, no great loss
will come if the size of the build
ing is reduced. If the proposed city
hall (reduced in size to effect
economies) still maintains its beauty
of design and monumental appear
ance, provides edquately for the
present and future needs of the
city, and conforms reasonably with
the grouping plan, the question
then raised is, "Is a complete com
pliance with the Burnham plan
worth the increased cost?" True, it
would be a splendid thing to have
the building conform completely
with the suggested plan, but when
it comes to a question of either
overburdening the taxpayer, or of
giving up part of the artistic
features of the plan, it is believed
that the taxpayer’s pocketbook
should prevail.
