DAY REPLIES TO DRAPER
Defends Classics and Says
Thinking Men Are Most Needed.

Syracuse. Dec Educational as OPP
posed to classical education, agriculture IN
public schools college entrance require
ments tenure of office and scores or other
subjects were discussed to-day at the state
conventions of four teachers associations,
in session here.
The discussions were heard by nearly 500
PRINCIPALS and teachers from all sections OF
the state, gathered here for the annual ses-
sions of the Associated Academic Princi-
pals. New York state Council of Elementary
School Principals and Teachers, Classical
Teachers Association and Teachers OF
Mathematics.
Chancellor James X. Day. Of Syracuse
University: President G. a. Richmond OF
Union College and Raymond \. Pearson.
State Commissioner of Agriculture, were
the principal speakers. Chancellor Day re-
piled to the charge made yesterday py
Andrew S. Draper, Commissioner or Educa-
ton. that the college presidents OF to-day
were mere money getters. The chancellor
declared that DR.. Draper was illogical, In
that I'm one breath he complained of the
rapid growth of colleges and in the next
lauded vocational education. The latter,
DR.. Day said was the cause Of the growth.
He defended classics as a part OF college
courses and declared that thinking men
were most needed to-day. They could only
be secured, he said, after n thorough train
ing in this branch of the college course.
Dr. Richmond spoke on Educational
Values
I'VE are going TO have vocational train
ing I'm our schools | am glad of it, he
said. I'VE have no cause to quarrel some
make vocational studies the scapegoat or
all our educational sins. Others find IN
them the sweet solution Of all our educa-
tional perplexites. They are neither one
nor the other If they come as fellow
workers they are welcome; II they come as
pretenders their presence Is a menace
A plea for education in agriculture in
the public schools was the feature Of the
address Of Commissioner Pearson. He de-
clared that the pendulum of agriculture was
swinging back to the East after having
swung far westward. when farming was
depressed almost to the breaking point In
this part of the country. The demand for
agricultural products Ak much more attrac-
tive prices than obtained ten or twenty
years ago IS causing a demand for agricult-
ural education, he said.

ACADEMY'S WINTER SHOW |
Burlington House Surpasses
Itself in Loan Exhibition.
HONORS MEMORY OF ABBEY
Central Hall and Three Large
Galleries Filled with Paint
ings of Dead American.
fBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, Dec. 29.-Possibly the Royal
| Academy has adopted as its motto 1--WE
| shall show them what Todger's can do. y
Certainly the Winter Exhibition opening
| tomorrow is the largest and most varied
loan collection seen in Burlington House
for many years. The Grafton Gallery Is
boldly challenged and easily surpassed.
The first room contains twenty-five Of
Reynolds's portraits and subject pictures.
The second room is evenly divided be-
tween Italian primitves and Dutch and
Flemish masters
The largest gallery has a splendid dis
play Of Titians, Tintorettos and Bordo-
mas and fine examples of Gainsborough,
Lawrence, Turner. Hogarth and Romney.
Two other galleries are filled with por-
traits and landscapes from the best pri-
vate collections.
The central hall and three large gal
leries are occupied with remarkably
complete memorial exhibition OF the art
of Edwin A. Abbey. His Holy Grail pam
els for the Boston Public Library and the
panels for the Harrisburg Capitol can, of
course, be represented only by sketches
but there are four hundred black and
white drawings illustrating Goldsmith's
Deserted Village" the same authors
play, "She Stoops to Conquer" (these
having been first ~iven to the world In
1850, illustrations to a volume entitled
"Old Songs" GSS9) and illustrations Of
number of Shakespeares plays. All Of
these were lent by Mrs. Abbey.
The great coronation picture from
buckingham Palace, painted in 1902. has
commanding position. and nearly all
Abbey's best known oil paintings from
private and public collections are on the
walls Among them are "The Pavane,"
from the American Ambassadors New
York residence; Richard, Duke of Clos
ter and the Lady Anne" exhibited in
1896 and Lear and Cordelia," from Mrs.
Michie's collection: THE Trial Of Queen
Katherine" from Senator Clark's collec-
ton. and the play scene from Hamlet"
There could hardly be a more brilliant
tribute to the genius Of the American
painter.

CATHOLIC CHARITIES REPLY
Institutions Announce Change in
Method Through MIR. Grout.

Edward 81. Grout, speaking for some of
the Catholic charitable institutions which
are engaged in a controversy with Con-
troller Prendergast over the use Of city
appropriations, made public a mass Of
correspondence, relating to the dispute yes
terday. There was letter to Michael ].
Drummond, the Charities Commissioner,
from the committee on Catholic charita BILE
Institutions, composed of Mr.. Grout. Nor
gan j. O'Brien, Eugene A. Philbin and
Michael f. McGoldrick. 1t included also
a communication from the Controller to
the Commissioner and memorandum from
Patterson, Teele & Dennis, public account
ants. which was supposed to contain eXcep-
tions TO the Controllers reports and also
suggestions for further financial inyestiga-
tions. Mr.. Grout said:
1t has been determined to eliminate this
whole suggestion that the institutions are
making a profit from their work, a sugges-
tion entirely due, | believe. to the fact that
they are the recipients of unpaid service Of
members of various sisterhoods. This
elimination will be accomplished by having
the institutions hereafter pay for such sci =
vice just as do the Jewish and Protestant
institutions.
This is unfortunate. as II does VIOLENCE to
the feelings of the members Of such sister,
al ali commcrcialized. This they will mit-
gate by turning back TO the orders of which
they are members the sums which they so
earn. The net result to the city and TO the
institutions will be the same, except that
IL Will then appear, as is the fact, that
instead of any appearance of profit, there
is, in fact, a deficiency because the per
capita sums paid by the city are not suf-
Client i'm any of the institutions, whether
Catholic, Jewish or Protestant. 10 meet the
expense of caring for the children
He added that in the future the institu-
tions would keep the city money accounts
entirely separate from those OF the private
funds and continued thus:
The controversy Will thereby be brought
back to what we had supposed all along,
during the year and q half IL has continued
and until the Controllers statement OF De-
cember q, to me the single points involved.
These points are whether or not the city
has right TO examine into the strictly pri-
vate affairs OF these institutions. and
whether or not the Board of Estimate and
10 limit the meaning of the words Care,
support, maintenance and secular educa-
tion" so as TO mean something different
than what the law gives them as mean
ing.
Mr.. Grout announced that the institutions
would continue to receive city patients on
the basis that the law shall determine what
are proper charges for care, support,
maintenance and secular education" and
that only the city accounts shall be open TO
examination.
