Herman Ridder's Fuss Multiply ing--But
Maybe He Is All Wrong.

Either what the Board Of Education did
or what Herman Ridder says it did. last
Wednesday, about the teaching Of German
In the public schools has brought protest
from the Aldermen and others.
What the Board did it states as follows
Heretofore the study of languages in the
elementary schools has been optic nal
and not part of the regular curriculum.
That is. if students wanted TO study German
of French or Latin they had to petition for
a'special course. The new order prescribes
that no languages shall be taught in the
elementary schools except in the last year.
Then the student must take either Latin,
French. German or stenography. Presi-
dent Henry A. Rogers Of the Board of Edu-
cation says that as a matter Of fact more
students will study languages in the Gle
m entary schools under the new order than
did formerly
But Herman Ridder says that Supt
Maxwell has arbitrarily abridged the
study Of German in the public schools. .

in his affidavit that ne put up the gateway
with the consent of the Superintendent of
Buildings and that 1t was not until the
work had been practically completed at
a cost Of $4,000 that the city put in an
objection
Supreme Court Justice Blanchard reserved
decision yesterday on an application made
by the city. through the Corporation Counsel,
for an injunction to restrain the Knicker-
booker Trust Company from completing
the portico of its new building at Thirty
fourth street and Fifth avenue, and also
for an order directing the company to re-
move SO much of tho portco as Is already
built. 1t is contended that the portico
projects fifteen feet over the sidewalk
ana beyond the atOop Inc.
As he took the papers in the motion under
consideration, Justice Blanchard remarked
The amazing feature of this matter to me
is that for the last two years the knicker-
booker Trust Company has been allowed
to violate the rules Of the Building Depart
ment without a word OF remonstrance from
the Corporation Counsel, or any one else

injunction restraining the company and also

Assistant Corporation Counsel Cosby
appeared to press the motion.
Julien 7 Davies, counsel for the company,
expressed the opinion that an unjust dis
elimination was being made against the
Knickerbocker Trust Company, while other
buildings, that were far greater offenders
in the matter of porticos, were not being
molested.
1T will cost lis at least $40 900 to take
