Most OF the teams this year have
different players than last, with the

practically the same team. Besides

Hebrew School Soon be Ready
to Open Its Doors Teach
ers Engaged.
School Is Organized for the Pur-
pose Of Teaching Children
Language of Their Parents.

Plans are now assuming mater rial
shape for opening the Hebrew schoc
in the Temple Shaarey Tfiloh in Ma
Olson avenue.
Over $50 pupils are already en-
rolled. There will be three clases.
A principal and two teachers will be
engaged, the principal to teach one
of the classes. Partitions will be put
in the first floor of the temple, to
isolate the classes.
The sessions will be held in the af-
ternoons, after the dismissal shour OF
the public schools. The aim is to
teach to the children the langua ge of
their elders. Those parents who SO
desire may pay certain sum for the
teaching of their children, but no pay
is demanded.
1t has been said that the confning
of the children in a school room after
being in public school all day will be
severe, but it is urged by. the promo
ters that many of the children now
spend the same time in the care of
private tutors in the language. APP
pication has been made to the Board
of Education for seats, and the school
will open shortly.
Kassel Finkelstein has presented
the school with three valuable sets of
books, although he is a member of the
Beth Mordecai congregation. The
new school will in no way conflict with
the school which has been maintained
for some time on Hobart street for
children of the members there.

BANKS ARE A
BIG SUCCESS.
Much Money Collected for the
Hospital by Contributions
from the Children.

The banks which were recently
placed in the public schools, by Mrs.
George d. Runyon, have yielded re-
turns far beyond the expectations of
their originator. A recent report of
the collections taken from each bank
shows the remarkable interest taken
in the hospital and its good work.
The banks have been in the school
about two weeks and when opened the
neat sum of S54.03 was realized.
School No. contributed Sl2. 81,
school No. 4, $lO.1S, the high school,
$40. 81. school No. 6, So 10, school No.
5. 1892, school No. ?, 1888, school
No. 3, at Maurer, which has only two
room, contributed $l.20, and Miss
Rawson's private school, 81. 36.
The idea of placing the banks in the
public schools originated with Mrs.
Runyon, formerly president of the
Ladies Auxiliary to the hospital, and
entirely to her is due the wonderful
success of the idea. Mrs. Runyon
purchased the banks at her own ex-
pense and placed them, one to every
two class rooms, Throughout the city.
The banks are in the form of eleph-
ants and ''feeding the elephants is a
pleasure to the pupils, especially when
the feed goes to such worthy cause
the city hospital. The banks will be
opened once more before the schools
close for the summer vacation.
AS worker in the hospital cause
and an originator of novel ideas Mrs.
Runyon is well known and her last
undertaking is simply one more added
to her already long list of brilliant
successes.

Fred christensen Tells School
Commissioners They had
Better Consult the City
Attorney in the Matter.
GIVEN TO ALDERMAN.
Mr.. Christensen Who Was Low
est Bidder for the Whole Job
Intimates that Some Legal
Action May be Taken.

A strongly worded letter was re-
ceived from Fred Christensen at the
meeting of the Board of Education,
last night. Although Mr.. Christensen
WIS the lowest bidder for the work,
including the placing of new roof on
the present school No. l building, he
did not get the contract because the.
board decided not to have new roof
put on just now, to lessen the. eX-
pense. The contract was awarded to
|. II. Grouse at the previous meeting.
In his letter, which Clerk Colyer
came near for getting to read until re-
minded by Commissioners Sturn, Mr..
Christensen advised the board to think
carefully before giving out the con-
tract finally to a city official and to
consult the city attorney in the mat
ter, as he has consulted his attorney.
Mr.. christensen acknowledged the
return of the $500 bond deposited
when he submitted his bid, but men
toned the fact that he is ready to sign
the contract for the work at any time.
President Walker said that, as the
contract had already been awarded he
did not see as the board could take
any action. On motion the letter was
orderd filed.
The committee, which is looking
after the bills presented by Messrs
Grouse and Kelly & McAlinden fol
work done at school No. 6 two years
ago, will meet next Tuesday evening
to see the city attorney as to the
boards powers in the tangle, which
arose from the fact that the work was
only ordered by a. minority report at
the time.
President Walker stated that
Thomas Lingle had offered to sell his
lot on King street, adjoining the No.
/ school yard, to the board for 81, 600.
The Board of Estimate has about
reached its limit for this year, and
there is no money to purchase this
lot, however advantageous it might
be.
Kassel Finkelstein appeared before
the board to ask for some arrange
ment whereby seats and desks or
benches can be leased, rented or
loaned for the use of the new Hebrew
school in the temple on Madison ave-
nue.. Chairman Poulson, of the build
ing committee, promised Mr.. Finkel-
stein that they will take the matter
up at once. The board has the old
furniture from No. and will proba-
bly, let the Hebrew school have it on
reasonable basis
The clerk reported that the REM
ington Typewriter Company has cred
tied this city's board with $62. 20 paid
by some other board, as the local board
has not paid that concern anything
since October. They owe them some
money, however, and motion was
made to pay them ..s30.75, being the
amount due up to NJ ,"ch l. The mo-
tion was carried by vote of to 2.
Messrs. Crowell and Sturn voted in
the negative, as they desired to get a
statement from the Remington Com
pany before paying them anything.
The commissioners will go on their
annual inspection tour of the schoo Is
some time next month.
Miss Anna Park was granted a
leave of absence until September be-
cause her father has died and it is
necessary to be at home with her
mother.
