clared another kick would be regis
tered at the committee meeting of
the Board OF Aldermen tonight. He
maintained conditions were horrible
In some places. making streets ab-
solutely impossible to travel. either
with vehicles or to walk. This, he
maintained was largely due to the
present wet spell.
Among the thoroughfaras con-
planned about, according to the COM

street, Pacific avenue, Atlantic ave-
nue.. Cornell street and several other
avenues branching from Brace ave-
nue. from Amboy avenue westward
It is declared horses sink two feet
deep In mud and pools OF water on
some streets In that section and wag-
on wheels sink to the hubs. so that

OBJECTIONS TO
SCHOOL CHANGE
Fault Found With Long
Hours in High School.

As parents are having time to
consider the new schedule for the
school sessions recently announced
by the Board OF Education, some OBJ
lection Is being heard, particularly
on the part OF those having children
in the high school. 1t would not be
surprising II the outcome would be
a protest to the school board who
may be compelled to change the plan
as already announced. The follow
Ing communication received by the
EVENING NEWS today sets forth
one parents opinion of the change:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
/ have been an admirer of the
common sense administration of
school affairs OF our present Board
OF Education. 1t Is, therefore, with
the more reluctance that I find my
self dissenting from their recent
ruling relative to the school hours
to take effect next Monday. That
they should make go radical changes
without first seeking to learn the
attitude OF the public on the ques-
ton seems to me quite ill-advised.
When it goes into effect II will revo-
lutionize the domestic plans OF
scores Of homes In our city. For
one, protest.
Ny objection Is twofold. There Is
no uniformity in having the midday
meal hour OF some of our children
between 11:45 and 1.10, and that
of others after 1870. feel sure.
that the housekeepers involved will
not take kindly to the thought OF
keeping family hotel. Further
more, a siugle session from 8:8Q IN

rs entirely too long. This compeIs
the high school students to take a
light lunch with them. and the
housekeeper to keep dinner warm
for an hour and half or to provide
a dinner at night. For one, ! loudly
protest :
And what Is gained? Heretofore
the high school students attended
from 8 until $3.50, with an hour and
half for the midday meal; during
the winter months 1t has been from
8:45 until s., with an equally long
midday recess. Now they are to
have from $3.50 until 1880, and will
spend Just as much time In school.
The high school age is the most
critical in the lives of our boys and
girls. 1t Is a time when the strain
needs to be relieved, not increased.
The demands OF the high schools all
over the country have been viewed
with alarm, as they have altogether
too seriously encroached upon the
time and energies of our boys and
girls at the very period in life when
they should have more freedom. I
thoroughly believe In a single half
day session; but 1t should not con-
tinue longer than 1890. How the
needs of our educational system may
be worked out with a shortened daily
period Is problem for those In
authority to solve. 1t might be ac-
complished by adding year to the
course. But 1t must not be at the
expense OF the health OF our chill
dren; the curriculum can better af-
ford to suffer than they. Our high
