MORE SCHOOL TALK
Interview With Charles Cassatt Davis.
General Estimate Not Yet Done


General Estimate Not Yet Done
The finance committee Of the city coun-
Gil Is not yet ready with its report on the
annual budget. No meeting was held yes
terday, operations being suspended until
sort Of an amended estimate could be
prepared by the auditor on lines suggested
by the committee. 1t is quite evident that
some cutting and slashing is going on. with
a view to providing for the increase de-
manded by the city school board, and the
new figures will probably show that all
the other departments have suffered some
as a result. President Davis Of the school
board yesterday made the following state
ment on the subject:
II can really add nothing to our presenta-
ton of the matter the other day to the
finance committee of the council. The fig-
ures speak for themselves. The average
amount per capita contributed by the city
for the last eight years is $4.95. The amount
which we fix as the lowest upon which the
schools can be conducted, without very
seriously impairing their work, is $115,OO0,
which is $4.64 per capita. The auditor is
unwilling to allow more than 1000, which
Is $4.04 per capita. One hundred thousand
dollars was allowed Two years ago, the
same amount was allowed last year, and
the auditors suggestion is to allow the
same amount for this year.
1.-TWO years ago the number OF census
children was 2O,679; this year it is A,766, an
increase of 40S5.
"Unless the amounts which have been al
lowed for many years in the past are ex-
cessive, 1t is apparent that the amount pro-
posed this year is far inadequate, and the
increase of over 1900 is not provided FOR In
any way by the auditors figures.
1T is likely that under the charter, as
II stands, the board of education is the sole
judge OF the needs OF the school depart
ment, and can enforce the full twenty cents
per $1OU specified In the charter. For the
proper management Of the schools, the full
twenty cents, which would produce about
$122,OO0, is needed, but the board recog
nizes the fact that the city is In financial
straights, and accordingly has given the
closest scrutiny to the estimate originally
submitted, and has cut out items needed,
but not absolutely essential. and so has
reduced the amount originally asked to
$4,000.
"Even with this amount the department
Will De seriously cramped.
Last year for want Of room there were
in operation thirteen schools whose ses-
sions were only one-half day each. With
the opening of the fall session the number OF
half day schools must be considerably in
creased. This is an injustice to the child
rem. who are compelled to shorten their
hours of attendance at school and their
hours for being taught But for 1t there is
no remedy until we have more ample ac-
commodations.
Another matter Of great Importance 1t
seems to me is the providing for compul-

He did not find the attitude of the oper-

he could learn they were as determined
in their fight as on the FIRST day. and they
manifested no intention OF giving UP the
fight.
Mr.. Barry was asked his opinion rel

mission be appointed TO investigate the
fining system, which has been made an
issue by the wcavers. Without hav-

said he did not know but such an in

thought. should not be confined to New
Bedford alone. but should be made gem

CLEAN AND GAMEY.


New London. Conn. Jan. e1.-The New
London Athletic club held Its first box
ing exhibition of the new year in the
gymnasium last night, and the seating
capacity was taxed TO the utmost. The
talent was wholly from Worcester,
Mass. and about 100 sports from that
city attended.
The first bout was between Fred
White and George Bolles. six rounds al
10 pounds, and two rounds more If need
be FOR decision. Rolles got the de-
cision at the end of the eighth round.
White was saved twice by the gong, but
he gave clean and gamey exhibition.
The other bout was between Timothy
carroll and Jack Lawler, 25 rounds at
12S pounds, and resulted in Carroll being
Knocked out after one minute and ten
seconds of fighting in the i1th round.
Carroll was apparently the cleverer OF
the two. and IL was either mans fight
up to the 1lth round. Carroll used n
straight left on his opponents face. while
Lawler had a good left swing with which
he kept bombarding Carrolrs body. and
tired out his man. In the 10th round
Carroll was floored. and just as he was
about TO drop into his seat in his corner.
as the gong was sounding, he received

a foul was claimed. but Referee James
Boutelle of Providence would not allow
1t, the ground being that Lawler could
not stop his arm, as he had started the
swing before the gong sounded. Car
roll came up so weak at the opening OF

short order. and another swing resulted

LAST NIGHTS BOXING BOUTS.

Chicago, Jan. 2l.-Jacob Schaefer de-
fcated George Sutton in the 1s-inch
balk-line tournament by score of 400
TO 1875. When the handicaps were an
nounced II was the opinion of most OF
the witnesses Of the game that Sutton
was too light, judging from his showing
In the New York tournaments. With
the present handicap the Canadian
would have beaten Schaefer and Slosson
In the Gotham games. The shortstops.
however. were not willing TO be sepa-
rated. and consequently sutton was put
on the same mark with Spinks and
Cation.
That Ives appreciated the situation
was apparent Wednesday night, for he
went out from the start to make up his
handicap as quickly as possible. Shae-
fer tried To do the same last night. but
the balls would not roll kindly. and he
could do nothing against the steady
work Of the Canadian, who was pegging
away with an average of over 13. AT
the end of the 10th inning the call was:
Sutton. 1856; Schaefer, l0l. Then the
wizard" woke up and began to play
the billiards of which he is capable. In
the next seven innings he gathered 2Si
points and made up his handicap the
call being: Schaefer. S35; Sutton, 19s.
Two more innings gave him the game
with an average OF u 1-1s. 1t was
hard game for Sutton to lose after his
good beginning, but he had no complaint
10 make.
Sutton had an easy thing in the after
noon game He was not in his best
form, but he was able 10 run his 260
points while Spinks made l1S. Missing
the lay-off shot, he came back with 13
to Spinks' 2l. but kept on, and at the
end of the fifth inning the score was:
Sutton, 81; Spinks, 40. After that in
ming there was nothing to the game, as
the Canadian made more points than his
opponent and had the confidence OF
header.
