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.
