that through different avenues a

Editor of the Times:

I want to second the remarks
of Subscriber" concerning the
practice of the school authorities
in charging admission to the
school exhibition. I have four
children in the schools. 1 had
them all in the recent stadium
affair, but I want to say that new
er again will one of them be per-
mitted to enter anything of this
kind as long as the admission is
not free to school events.
1t is an outrage the way things
are running now, to ask parents
to pay an admission fee to see their
own children in the stadium built
by the public for public purposes.
The stadium should be free and
all events there by the school chill
dren, whether athletic or other
wise. should be free to everybody.

UPTOWN SENTIMENT.

NEW YORK, April ia prominent
international banker says that while the
foreign trade statement for March does
not make a pleasing exhibit he is by no
means discouraged over the situation.
He believes that our bono market has
about reached the bottom and that
soon there will be a considerably more
active demand for our securities both
here and abroad. He would not be
surprised to see Europe begin to buy
u bonds before there is much buying
in evidence.
For home account he pointed out that
in the past Europe has generally been
able TO form a more correct opinion of
our market than we have. He thinks
that foreign buying of OR bonds will.
in a comparatively short time, be large
enough to have an effect upon the
trade balance.
