This Is the Condition Which
School Board Is Forced
to Face
HALT IN IMPROVEMENTS
President Holman Says Board Should
Defer Awarding Contracts for
New Buildings - Expenses
Must Be Restricted.

Much as the board of school inspect
ors might desire to increase the ac-
commodations and improve the educa-
uonaI facilities of the public school
system, 1T finds itself, upon contem-
plation of it's financial resources, Sc
Verely constrained to conservatism and
for the remainder of the year 1902, at
least, circumScribed to such eXpendi-
ture as may be regarded absolutely
necessary. And with the adoption of
that principle it is evident that a deficit
OF nearly 100000 at the end of the year
is inevitable.
The situation as described was con-
Vlncingly laid before the board at its
meeting yesterday by President Hol-
man when questions We're presented
which would involve increased expen-
diture for apparatus and supplies for
manual training in the high schools.
In brief, Mr.. Holman's statement of
the financial status of the school board
was as follows: The total appropria-
ton by the cour. I'll for school purposes
in 1902 was $692, 100, and thus far there
has been placed TO the credit of the
maintenance fund and the building
fund the total sum of $500, 747.57, leav-
Ing still to be paid over to those funds
by the city a balance of $S9,352.43,
which, as Mr. Holman explained, will
not realize it's full amount, as it is
contingent upon the payment of all
taxes in full, which is not reasonably
to be hoped for. In addition to that
balance in prospect, there is available
in the maintenance fund $64,775.50, and
in the building fund $55, .0S, making
the total sum remaining unexpended
from the appropriation of 1902, $780,
234 OF.
Having presented those figures, Mr..
Holman then said he had ascertained
from the school officers that the neces-
sary expenditures for the maintenance
of the schools to the close of 1902, in
Guiding salaries Of officers Of the school
departments teachers, janitors, etc.,
would be $248,300. In addition to that
an item of inevitable expense for this
year would be construction work now
under contract which must be paid for
at this time, and under that head he
mentioned certain portions of work on
the Mckinley school and the addition
to the Longfellow school, amounting in
the aggregate to $4S, 120.77, and making
the total of unavoidable expenditure
for the remainder of this year $780,
APO. II. This, with only $209,234 OF
available to estimate the balance due
from the city at it's highest possible
figure-would create a deficit of $751;
1856. 76.

Would Defer Awards.

Then taking up additional expendi-
lures which has been proposed, Mr..
Holman said: 1--WE have advertised for
bids for work on the substructures of
four schools, and the work, if done at
once, would cost us $4,000, although
the buildings could not be completed
until later, and we would get no pres
ent relief. Then we have in contempla-
ton a heating plant for the Longfellow
school to cost $4,000, and a retaining
wall at the Mound park school which
would cost $500. There, you see, is a
total of $53,500, and necessary as that
work may be, we would not be justified
at this time in mourning the expense.
In fact there is in my mind a grave
question as to whether it is not our
duty to defer awarding the contracts
for those SubstructureS until later,
when we can have the work all done at
once. My position is that the budget
upon which we are now figuring, and
which we are about to present to the
council, will avail US nothing for pres
ent expenditure, for by the terms of
our city charter we are restrained
from mourning any Indebtedness to be
paid out of that appropriation until
such time as it may become available"
Deficit Should Be Restricted.
AT this juncture Mr. Holman read
section chapter 2 of the city charter
which bears upon this point, and which
in effect provides that no board or city
officer shall in any year incur indebted
ness in excess of the appropriation
made by the city council for the use
of his department for that year. He
explained that he did not wish to crit
icise this board for the present condi-
ton of the fund, as there had for years
been a deficit in the school fund which
had been carried over from year to
year. This board could not in one year
overcome that deficit and should not
be expected to, but he did think it was
the duty of the present members to re-
strict this deficit as far as possible and
to be as economical as possible.
1t was explained that by reason of
the amendment Of the city charter to
make the fiscal year of the school de-
partment conform to the fiscal year
of the city the school fund had suffered,
| as the board in preparing it's budget
had merely provided for maintenance
of the schools from July to July 1, as
had been customary, whereas provis-
ion should have been made to Jan. /.
This, Mr.. zimmerman, who was then
president of the board, had explained
to the council when the budget was
under consideration, but he could not
at that time secure an additional al
lowance in the appropriation for the
additional six months, and the schools
were necessarily run for eighteen
months on the estimate for one year.
Manual Training Wins Out.
This discussion applied in part to
proposed enlargement of the system
of instruction in manual training to
include the Central high school. The
plan was favored in a report from
Supt. Smith, in which were embraced
several recommendations. 1t was ex-
planned that the expense of installing
manual training in the central school,
including the purchase of apparatus
and supplies, and reconstruction of the

How Conversation Relating to the Sons

1t was with surprise and horror
that the parents Of a good gentle
and wellbehaved high school boy in
Brooklyn saw their son appear at
dinner on a recent Saturday evening.
His eyes were swollen, his face was
black, his oyelids would not wink
without giving him evident pain, In

him in stern silence.

and answered her only in monosyIla-

wicked boy had attacked him wholly
Without provocation, and that, en-

befallen her darling. He had not said
so, but mothers like to infer the

THE GAME OF WARMING.
A Household Sport that Makes No End
of Fun for the Young.

This game may be played by any
number of persons. 1t requires neith-
er preparation nor material, and
may, therefore, be introduced any
where at any time, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Send one person from the room and
then agree upon what he il to do
when you call him back. This should
be some simple act, and yet one that
he would not be likely to think of,
say, for example, to look at himself
in the mirror; to bow to certain
player; to take a player by the hand
and lead her or him to the middle
of the room, or to take sofa pillow
and put it behind certain players
back.
Having settled what he is to do,
you summon him back into the room
by music arranged for the occasion.
The music is to be made by tapping
some metal object with a key. The
best thing to use is poker, from
which low or loud notes may be
brought at will.
AS the player is to be guided by
the music in the performance of his
task, the musician must keep close
watch on him and give him warning.
When he begins to do anything like
what has been appointed, the music
should be low; when he does what he
ought not to do, it should be loud.
Let us suppose, for example, that
he is to take sofa pillow and put
it behind n certain players back. As
he enters the room the music is max
ing a great clatter, and this tends
to keep him from collecting his
thoughts, as it is intended to do
Presently he walks toward the soff
where the pillow is lying, and the
music becomes soft. This tells hin
that he is on the right track. Hc
touches a chair and the music be
comes loud, which tells him that
chair has no part in his task. He
touches the sofa and the 1nusic grows
soft, and when he touches the pillow
1t ceases for moment and then be
gins again, very soft.
He now knows he is to do some
thing with the pillow, but what? H,
stands and holds it-wrong! He put
it on the floor and sits on it-ver,
loud musicl Then he throws it dowl
before some player, but the music i
still loud. Then it occurs to HIM tha
sofa pillow makes a good rest 70
ones back, and he puts it behind
player, but the player is not the on
selected and the music does no
cease, though it becomes very faint
It's faintness suggests that he has hi
on the right thing, but not the righ
player, and he tries player afte
player until he finds the one selected
when the music stops and his tasl
is done.
