Demonstrating the degree of pros
pcrity attained by the Greeks in
America, the announcement is made
that Greek city may be built on
Long Island for Greeks exclusively.
The plans include a Greek church and
a Greek university.
There are now 100000 Greeks In the
United States, $4,000 Of whom are in
and near New York. 1t is natural that
they should desire college where
their children may learn the Greek
language, Study the Greek literature
ana nourish a national complaccncy
Of spirit.
The new city Will be called PATHS,
which means Fatherland. If7it shall
serve to keep alive the best ideals ana
aspirations Of Greece, it Will amply
justify It's existence.

KISSED THE TEACHERS.

Principal Bernard Cronson Of Public
School No. 3. at Grove and Hudson
streets, New York. has probably
reached the conclusion that the prac-
tice of osculation costs really more
than it is worth. Wednesday evening
tho elementary schools committee
made report to the board Of cduri-
ton which stirred up the meeting as
nothing has done for several months"
The chairman Of the committee, Abra-
ham Stern, a name lltly descriptive Of
the hard service he has to perform,
submitted to the board report de-
claring Principal Cronson guilty or
gross misconduct ana incnicicncy ana
lining him four months pay. the same
being equal to the sum OF $1,000
The charge against the Principal was
that he had kissed some Of the women
teachers in his school. Miss Martha
Draper. member Of the board diu
not believe that the imposition of Il
tine OF four months pay would be sum :
cicnt atoncmcnt for the crime or
which the Principal Was guilty ana
she moved that instead OF being fined
lie should be dismissed In spite or

accused him Ohe Principally based

she not resent the familiarity at the

something in the Views expressed by

Tut why should all OF this story have

In New York want to get teachers
that no principal would care 10 kiss
why don't they employ the old girls
UP in Boston? We agree however
with Miss Draper that the Principal

we agree, further, with MIR. Somers
that If the Principal is TO be dtsmlsscd
