ON FREE TEXT BOOKS.
Mir. Moran Presents Side of Education
 Board.

James T. Moran of the board of edu- cation took occasion yesterday to present that boards side of the free text book controversy, question that was raised by one or TWO of the speakers at the meeting of the com mittee of ffty-three, Thursday after noon. Said Mir Moran:
 T want to say that the responsibil- ity of the matter rests wholly and sole ly with the board of aldermen and the board of finance. The matter of school books and supplies is one over which the board of aldermen alone has juris- diction. The board ofseducation has of itself no power to spend a penny for free school books or supplies. The state law provides that the town gov ernments shall have power to appro- priate money for the purchase of free textbooks and supplies for the pupils in the New Haven public schools. The board of aldermen as the successors of the old town government in New Haven must make this appropriation. It is not even the duty of the board of education to include this item in its annual. estimates. but as a matter of courtesy of the board of education has been accustomed to make up the item for the board of finance apart from it's regular estimates.
 Two estimates are submitted: CD based on furnishing in sufficient quan- tity only such supplies as are now fur nished. the children being required to furnish themselves with pads, pencils, erasers, etc, @ based on furnis hing all supplies as contemplated in the origi- nal vote of the town.
 "The estimates are computed on the same basis per pupil as last year for textbooks. which have not advanced in price. but an increase of 9 per cent. has been made in the estimate for supplies. Our supplies this year have cost on an average of % per cent more.

IN SOCIETY

The Loan Lace Exhibit opens Mon
 day, March 9, at 10 a. m, at the New
 Haven Colony Historical rooms, IA Grove street Already the cases are
 filled with almost every variety of lace, some as delicate and filmy as an early morning cobweb, others heavy with designs worked by patient, skllful fin- gers. They have come from all coun-
 tries. and from the Islands of the Sea: out of palaces. convents. cellars. sweet homes and unsanitary novels. What tales they could tell had they the power of speech, romances, tragedies, comedies, hopes, fears. anticipations all woven into the delicate workmanship which forms the resseau and toile of the lace. Women have created the world of lace, and they should reign supreme in this realm. Let us give honor to those who with patient plod- ding fingers. under corcumstances of ten most discouraging, have provided results so beautiful that they rival na- ture's fairests work. Among the ex- ouisite faces already placed, marked and ready quite for inspection are specimens of the oldest Italian laces, in the form of table pieces and altar laces. A cover of blue silk Is edged with Abruzzi lace from Italy which is very old and valuable One of the oldest pieces is bit of Greek lace done in Grecian colors, and a cover of green silk has a wide border of filet made from old lace of different periods This cover is $50 years old, and was bought at the "rag fair in Rome. Pieces of Swiss and Italian filet and red shawl made of "A" silk, by the nuns at Madeira. An exceptionally beautiful hit is a vestment piece of Spanish blonde. very dainty is a christening robe of pompadour lace; there is a lace shawl made by the girls in Cairo, Eqynt One of the most interesting nieces perhaps is a shawl of Honitou noint which one time belonged to the En,nress Eugenie. There is a handker- ,biaf the exact counterpart of one car ried hv Queen Victoria, which has five kinds of point used in its construc- tion 4 tie of antique point de Flan- aars in A design so fine that the cob weh delicacy is marvellous was made with TOO bobbins hanging. Two very choice bits, the only pieces of the kind in the exhibit, are Vra yalenclennes

and antique burgess, both of which are lovely specimens. Shawls of Spanish blonde, point applique, and Brussels thread, are fascinating. There are showings of Carrlck Maccross, Elem ish quipure, Italian Reticelli, Limerick, Chantilly Mechlin, Irish lace, old Venetian point. black and white cluny. Point de Venise, antique lace sixteenth century, knitted and some spider lace from Buckinghamshire, England This exhibit will be instructive as well as pleasing to the eye, for one can trace the progress of lace making from its earliest days, to its last stage of per lection. It is doubtful if such col lection of laces will ever be gathered together here again, and the chance to view them should not be missed by any lover of the beautiful. Every pre- caution has been taken to safe guard the treasures. They have been insured and an armed watchman Is on duty at night, Admission 25c. Season tickets, l5c.
