PASS EDUCATION BUDGET
Board to Ask for s33,OO7,48446
for Next Year.

After Abraham Stern, IN the Board Of
Education, last evening had said that body
had been subjected to much OF public criti-
cism and that legislation soon might put II
out OF commission altogether. Arthur s.
sommers, Of Brooklyn, remarked: And
there fell upon us a solemn hush"
But not a holy one" said Herman A.
Metz, former Controller.
"As If holiness and politics IN this good
old town were compatible" said Mr. Stern.
who has just returned from Europe.
The discussion on the budget Of the
Board Of Education was at its height when
Mr.. stern made his remarks about the
probable passing Of the body which now
directs the educational affairs Of the town.
Whether or not YOU pass this budget"
said Mr.. stern, simply is a matter OF your
own opinion. but l do know that this board.
as now constituted. has for long time
been the subject OF public criticism and
that legislation now in contemplation prac-
tcaIly provides for its abolishment"
No one had word 10 say after Mr..
stern sat down, but those acquainted with
the affairs OF the board noticed that the
budget was passed ultimately without a
dissenting vote. There was some objection
on the part " few members on the vote
FOR vocational schools and for the appro-
priaton for moving picture illustrations,
but Mr.. Sommcrs and Mr. Metz pointed
out that the latter were not for purposes
Of entertainment, but for educational in
fuences.
So the budget was passed in It's entirety.

change for which some of its members
have been fighting. II will soon move
from its present quarters at No. 53 West

is minority in the club which doesn't like
the new place any better than the others
like the old one, the Pens and Brushes
may have some more Of those lively meet
ings they have held I'm the past.
1T is a crazy move" said one member
yesterday. In the Goth street house we
have a spacious floor, with two large rooms
which can be thrown into one at need,
with a nice ktchenette al the back, COM
Portable bedroom and bath. The Madi-
son avenue rooms are a basement merely
two not very large rooms, and so dark that
I don't see how they can be used for pict-
ure exhibitions The rent is somewhat
less. but the club will have 10 remodel the
place at its own expense, so I don't see
that anything Is gained"
Mrs Ernest Thompson-Seton, president
Of the Pen and Brush. chose the new place
and will direct the alterations.
