SERIOUS PROBLEM
Superintendent Stuart Pre-
pairing for Opening of the
Public Schools.

With twenty busy days prior to the
opening OF the public school season be-
fore him. superintendent A r. Stuart
returned to Washington this morning,
after a months vacation spent at At
Iantic city.
The school headquarters office force,
many OF whom have also been away
on vacations. are also beginning TO re-
port for duty.
one Of the main problems confronting
the school officials is the probability
that the schools will open with more
crowded conditions than ever before.
President Oyster. of the Board OF Edu-
cation. expresses the belief that despite
the operation Of eleven portable school
buildings. with acquisitions for Ave
more in, 1t will be difficult to accom-
modate the opening day throng OF
pupils.
Beyond this said Mr.. oyster, "the
school, were never in more h~ourishing
condition. and were never more popular.
the esprit de CORDS now seems better
than for years. and everything is work
ing smoothly and quietly. We are go
ing to do our best to house all those
who apply. although the pra sent pros
poets are that a larger attendance than
we have ever had Will mark the open
ing"
AS soon as absent members Of the
Board of Education return 10 the city
the first regular fall meeting Of that
body will be called for the transaction
Of an~te-seasOn business.

Mrs. Cook has two children. q girl six
years old. n another Of three. They
are now in the A~dirondacks. The
youngest child does not remember ever
having seen her father. On the wall Of
the Brooklyn fat in which Mrs. Cook
lived with the children last year. she
hung low on the wall a photograph Of
her husband. and II was one Of the
bedtime rites OF the children to kiss the
picture.

that time. because 1 know positively
that my husband will succeed. It may
take him years but I don't want the

she said at that time. But my husband
Is making sacrifices. I know. and I'm

Mrs. Cook also spent many months In
seeking funds for a relief expedition for
her husband. A card party given at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. several months
ago. netted several hundred dollars for
this purpose.

Wallace had promised to head the
expedition for Cooks RELIEF IL the funds
