TURNED DOWN
Supt.
Hess
Will Not Govern
Madison City Schools
Next Year.
The city board of education, as a
committee of the whole membership,
to consider fbe superintendency of tbe
city schools, met at tbe secretary 's office
last eveuius:. But oil account of the
nljs-nori of Dr. Files from the city ou
professional Imbiues*, the committee
adjourned until 10 o'clock this morn
itig at the same place.
The committee met at 10 o'cljck
this morning. Present. F. O. Met calf,
president: F. H. Files, R. Titzger
ald, J. C. Palmer, A. (i. Schimdt,
and H. H. Holdridge. clerk.
Supt. Hess and a dozen or mot"
citizens, mostly partisans of Snpt.
Hess.wern also in attendance.
Pres. Metcalf called the meeting to
order, stating its purpose, and invited
free discussion of the business in
hand by both members of the commit
tee and citizens present.
Clerk Holdridge read a voluminous
collection of letters the board had re
ceived from various colleges and other
sources bearing on the subject in band,
which in substance was
That Supt. Hess had made false
representations as to his possession
of the Ph. D. degree when he certified
to tbe state pducational department
that ne possessed it, and also oreat
ing the impression that he was a
raduate of the University of Penn
sylvania, when in fact he was never
enrolled as a s udent in that institu
tion.
The letters from the several schools
of learning were conclusive in their
import that Supt. He?s had not gained
the diplomas and degrees he claimed
in the legitimate course of study, and
a matter of fact, his only legiti
mate paper or diploma was from the
Bloomberg, tVnn., noimal school.
The Pb. D. degree was obtained from
a discredited institution in Ohio which
makes a business of selling Pb. D. de
grees at so mncb per. This spurious
degree Supt, Hess secured in 1808 when
in fact he certified to the state educa
tional department that he possessed
the degree in He also certified
to the State University at Vermillion
that he was "educated at the Univer
•uty ut' Pennsylvania," and possessed
the Pb. D. degree, leading the Vermil
lion institution to believe that he was
graduate of the Pennsylvania insti
tution. when in fact be was never en
rolled therein.
The letters read by Mr. Holdridge
covered much ground, and to say the
least placed Snpt. Hess in a very dis
honorable light from an educational
tandpeint.
Geo. R. Farmer as attorney fur
Supt. Hew addressed tbe committee,
and while he acknowledged tbat
Supt. Hess had made false represf nta
tions, he plead with the committee
to overlook bis shortcomings- and
apply the whitewash.
Pres. Metcalf at tbe conclusion of
Mr Farmer's address,intimated strong
ly that Mr. Farmer had regarded tbe
evidence of Supt. Hess' lack of hon
esty and voracity to lightly.
Dr. Files said Hess bad led tbe
be ard'to believe that he possessed di
plomai from botn colleges aud normal
schools, all of which had been proven
false. The school had been dieoigan
ized by his airogancy and the teachers
stood in fear of him aud refused to
teach under him. That it had come
to le almost impossible to employ
teacheis under bis superintendency
HOBS denied this and the question
.if veracity arose between Hess, Files
and Metcalf and some warm words
ensued.
Hess declared the trouble in the
schools was on account of the board's
conduct toward himself and that teach
ers resigned through loyalty to hiui
self, and as a rebuke to tbe board.
Pres. Metcalf said he had been
told by teachers that they would re
sign if Hess was retained.
Pres. Metcalf called on Hess to ex
plain the churgts of his fraudulent
conduct in tbe matter of diplomas and
degrees.
Hess acknowledged that he bad
made misrepresentations in regard to
possessing a Ph. D. degree when be
certified to the state that he po-^essed
it when he did not—but be expected
to secnie it soon. He also acknow
leducj thar be had never been on
rolled in the University o! Pennsyl
vania, bnt tbat ne bad attended lei
tures there
Dr. Daniels addressed tbe committee
in defense of Hess. He regaraded Hew
as an excellent teacher, aud did ne
consider the matter of degrees of much
importance. Dr. Daniels was also in
clined to apply the whitewash.
A. G. Schmidt declared tbat the
bonrd had been elected as an anti-Hess
board, but tbat since that time they
had found Hess to be a better man than
he had been represented.
Hess read a letter from tbe board
notifying him of his election foi tbe
ensuing year.
C. J. Porter addressed the committee,
laying particular stress on Hess' mis
representation to the Vermillion Uni
veisity. He took a business view of
tbe situation and stated tbat the board
bad been elected to manage the city
Bchoolfl and it was tbeir duty to do
so. Hess bad represented himself as
a highly educated man, bnt the facta
show that he is (-imply a normal
graduate, the same as many young
people who graduate from the Madison
nornal school.
Finally, after the mattei bad been
discussed for more than two hours, and
tbe documentary evidence proving that
Hess waa sailing under false colors
from an educational standpoint, Dr.
Files moved that the committee recom
mend to the board a reconsideration of
the vote by which Hess was elected to
tbe superintendent of the schools for
the ensuing vear.
The motion was seconded by Palmer
and Fitzgerald, aud a vote Using takeu
—Files voted yes, Fitzgerald yes, Palm
er yes, Schmidt no.
The investigating committee ad
journed aud reorganized as the city
board of education.
The chairman of tbe committee made
the following report:
That the interests of tbe public
schools demand that the board recon
sider its action whereby it elected A.
B. Hess as superintendent of our city
schools for the o liiing year.
Motion made that the report be
adopted, Files, Palmer, Fit/.gerald
voting yes, Schmidt, no.
The motion made that the motion of
the meeting of March 8, tbat Dr. A. B.
Hess be elected superintendent of the
city schools for the year 1909-10, which
motion prevailed, all members voting
yes, ba reconsidered,toe vote reaalting:
Filea, Palmer, Fitzgerald, yes
Schmidt, no.
The president declared the motion
cartied.
The question now being tbe original
motion, Files, Fitzgerald. Palmer and
Metca'f voted no, Schmidt ye«.
The president declared the motion
lost.
