DR.. EGBERT'S RETICENCE


To the Editor of 'eThe Jersey City News":-
The letters published in 1.-THE News
concerning two new school buildings
prompted me to attend the opening exer-
cises at School No. 2S. 1 was pleased
with the exercises and especiall+@witb
the interest shown by the public in edu-
cational matters. Superintendent Snyder
delivered really funny address, al
though perhaps he was not conscious of
it We did not know whether to take
him seriously or not, and the audience
which appiauded spontaneously during
the preceding speeches was evidently
much perplexed. The Superintendent
gave us brief kindergarten talk upon
school building No. %, saying something
like this:-"This is not livery stable;
this is school. This is not a factory:
this is school. This is not an iron
foundry; this is school, This is as
fine school as can be found anywhere
in ANY country; it has no superior, al
though there are others just as good.
Every square inch expresses a thought.
If you want TO know about these
thoughts ask the architect"
We would like few thoughts on the
following questions:-What style of
architecture has been followed in design
ing the building? What rales of pro-
portion govern and why was no thought
at all given to the two sides and the
Cambridge avenue front? These three
elevations are very important, inasmnch
as they are very conspicuous, and what
can be the excuse for making the Han
cock street front so bad and the other
three facades so inexpressibly hideous.
We can easily forgive aIr.fSnyder's mis-
takes when he talks about art and archi-
lecture. He ventured out of his line,
thinking with shrewdness that he could
1oOl the pcopie az Int liiHe. NO ue1eHcc
can be made for this .preposterous archi-
tectural absurdity. and no one who
knows anything about designing would
attempt one.
Praise for the inside was heard upon
the opening night; everyone ought to
know that the general interior plan of
all our later schools is practically the
same The nlan Of No % is no worse
and no better than many that have gone
before. This plan was taken originally
from a school in nearby town, and that
town and others had adopted the very
same plan long before it was imported
by our school authorities. We might ask
for many more explanations of the hid
den thoughts. of which our Superinten-
dent spoke, but space forbids.
cannot CLOSE without observing that
nothing was said eitEer by the presiding
officer, Doctor Egbert, or by Superinten-
dent Snyder, concerning the foundation
of the structure. 1t is founded upon a
rock and WILL sunk into it at that 1

in order to sink this thing of beauty as
far as possible into the earth, $500 cubic
yards Of rock were removed, and for

tor received from the city $5, making a
total expenditure for rock excavation of
$4,000. This same contractor spb-let

FERRIS WINS
Water Company Consents to
Modify Dyke Plans and
Litigation Will Be
Avoided.

The Street and Water Board receiv-
ed at this mornings meeting the follow
ing letter from Garwood Ferris, engineer
in charge of the construction of the new
water works.
Jersey City, Oct. 2S, 1902.
Hon. Board of Street and Water
Commissioners
"A Gentlemen-It is with great plea
sure that | inform you that the con-
tractor has this day rendered me
sketch of the Parsippany Dyke,
which modifies the plans previously
presented in such manner as to
remove all my objections.
1 believe this to be solution
which should be a matter of con-
graduation to both the city and the
contractor, and it does away with
the necessity of any litigation and
any possible delay in construction
due to that cause, while at the same
time the rights of the city are per-
fectly protected.
Respectfully submitted,
GARWOOD FERRIS.
Engineer in Charge.
Chief Engineer Harrison, of the Water
Company, has for several weeks insisted
ON building the dyke according to plans
which would make it necessary for an
of $4,000 additional when
the dyke was enlarged to increase the
daily supply from 50,000,0O0 to 10000
600 gallons. Mr.. Ferris refused to ap-
prove the plans, demanding that the
plans be changed so that the capacity
could be increased by simply raising the
height of the dam.

KRANK KEENAN,.

An event of special interest and inn portance is scheduled for Monday evening at Poli's, when Frank Keen an will play a return engagement in Hon John Grigsby.'' It will be of interest to see how Waterbury thea ter-goers take to a play that made such a brilliant success here previous to it's New York run, and which is brought back now immediately fol- lowing its triumph in the metropolis As recalled by the local reviews of the play when presented at Polls five weeks ago, s'Hon John Grigsby' was splendidly artistic production, one that is calculated to interest theater- goers who like high class acting. And 1t is creditable to the local reviewers that their Judgments of the play and star have been endorsed by the best critics of the New York press. A very fine performance may. therefore. be reasonably expected on Monday evening. Seats are now on sale.

 aHow the king of Ruritania rights Rupert of Hentzau in the famous eel lar duel of the latter Rassendyllic play is an old story, but it had the most lh- teresting prelude ever at recent per forfnance in Seattle, Wash. Ine uh- expected occurrence would nave paI- alyzed Anthony Hope ii he could nave seen it the first time, perhaps, Inal Black Elphberg ever triumphed over q Red one. too. A startling climax, one not previously advertised, SOFT of impromptu, extemporaneous climax, came off during the second scene ol the third act of Hentzau It was both ingenious and effective. and for origl- nality out-Fitched anything Clyde Fitch ever devised. Harry Leighton, who doubles as the King of Rurltanla and Rudolph, was the central figure, and the Count of Rischenheim, or some such notable, who is ill private life the stage manager of the company, was the moving cause in the little cpl sode. Now, no one ever accused the stage manager of being a Black Elph- berg, but he must have been or he would never have put up such Job on his sovereign. The scene was street in Strelsau, and the king was about to do his mighty stunt of slay ing his strenuous enemy, Rupert of Hentzau. Rosa Holf Miss Eleanor Carr) had led him down to the center of the stage and paused before large doorway out into the street drop. Pointing back into the cavernous depths she said in a tone of awe :: He's in there, your majesty; but, Oh, your majesty, do be careful, for he's the best swordsman in all Ruritania.' The king was equal to the ocasion. X melodramatic hero is always equal to teh occasion. Stepping half inside the door, he drew his trusty blade from it's sheath, extended his chest to q beau tiful round fullness, dilated his nos trils with the scent of approaching vic tory, and. turning to the girl said: sAh, Rosa, never fear, me trusty blade shall preserve the honor of me queen.
