public exhibition in Music Hall one OF his pupils
had re,ted a poem which contained an oo]ecuoh-
able verse and" Commissioner OBrien SAID
because OF the manner in which 1t was recited.
Nj Carr has served teacher for thirteen
years and the committee proposed to put In his

OBrie1 nor any member Of his committee could
give any informal ton when asked by Commissioners
Hunt and Benevllle.

and during which several commissioners came
dangerously near being personal. the astonishing
fact developed that the chairman of the Evening
Schools Committee had not visited one OF the even
ing nigh schools during this season.
Commissioner Strauss said: The evening SCHOOLS
have not been a success during this term, and a
visit to any Of them Will convince any person OF
that fact. J have made several calls at these
