To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The Sunday edition of your paper contained
very clever and original suggestion for alIevat-
ing the discomfort of our overcrowded cars The
bicycle seat would be a joy compared with the
strap with the seat out OF which is
too often crowded which is forced TO

Obliged TO travel in the rush hours-that the sug-
gestion may materialLze into actual fact.

Joseph O'Connor, a member of the

from a three months study of school

which he found differed considerably
from our schools in that they were
conducted principally for boys and
men, with few or no girl pupils.
The elementary schools of Europe,
O'Connor said yesterday, are far in
ferior to our schools, although in the
poIytechnic branches they are in many
points superior.
OConnor will make a formal report
TO the board of education.
The board of education yesterday
recommended to City Architect Newton
G. Tharp that in the construction OF
new schools under the bond issue the
following schools be given precedence
The Denman grammar, the Mckinley
school, the Jackson, the Hancock, the
sheridan and the Spring Valley. The
hoard asked that the city architect be-
gin Immediately to prepare plans fol
these structures.

George c. Becllley, and which is now
making It's maiden cruise to Honolulu.
"As a football player young Becllley
won distinction at Stanford. In 1897,
when a member of his freshman team,
Beckley executed a sensational play
which has become famous in the foot
ball annals of the Pacific coast. Crawl
ing on his hands and knees, he broke
through the California line, intercept
ed long pass of the blue and gold
backs, put the pigskin under his arm
and made a 80 yard run for a touch
down for the cardinal. The feat won
the game for his team and Beckley be-
came hero.
"After his college days Beckley de-
termined to follow the career of his
father. When the building of the Ma
una Kea was begun at the Union Iron
Works he joined the men in overalls
and stuck to his task, delving into the
manifold problems of engineering and
