URGES TEACHING OF
FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Theodore Bacigalnpi Advocates
Establishment of a Cos
mopolitan School

That immediate action be taken by
the board. of education in forming a
cosmopolitan school where the foreign
languages may be taught was advo-
Gated by Theodore Bacigalupi, presi-'
dent Of the North Beach improvement
association, in speech before the
board yesterday afternoon. Baciga-
islative bill recently enacted which
provides for the establishment of a
cosmopolitan school in every county
where French German and Italian
may be taught At present italian is
taught only in the Sherman evening
school, and the course is largely at
tended. Bacigalupi advocated the es-
tablishment of a day school of the
same type Immediately, and his plea
was favorably heard by the board.
superintendent Alfred Roncovieri
pointed out to the board the legisla-
tive enactment requiring that text
books adopted after October shall
remain for four years without the in
PRODUCTION of another book of the
same purpose. He also recommended
that the annual civil service examina-
tions for the appointment of teachers
be held Saturday, June 19, and that
the present system be extended to in
c1ude evening school teachers here
after to be appointed, because the
amended constitution of the state
recognizes evening school teachers as
part Of the school system.
The purchase of lot facing Green
wich street and adjoining on the rear
the GARFIELD school as soon as possible
to provide needed yard and exit facili-
ties for the children was also recon
mended by the superintendent. A
parcel of land adjacent to the Com
mercial school in Grove street near
Polk was also recommended for pur-
chase.
Elizabeth B. Moore was granted a
leave of absence, and the resignation
of r. D. Mansfield as a teacher was
accepted.
Because of acts of vandalism COM
mitted in the Golden Gate school, Jo-
seph Moniz, Walter Delehanty and
Thomas McGlinn were suspended from
the school, and for the same reason
Edgar Pady and Henry Zimet were
suspended from the Hamilton gram
mar school.
Thomas Morton & Sons were awarded
the contract for supplying the school
department with 1000 tons of Duns-
muir Wellington coal at IS a ton, 500
tons TO be delivered before September
and the remainder during the fall.
The award for anthracite coal was
won by l.. Brizzolari & Son, calling
for 1000 tons of clean Welsh anthra-
cite coal at 1855 ton.
The board of education believes that
by buying coal at this time instead of
later in the year the department will
save about $4,000.
