Choice of Three.
PRODDED BY MAYOR GAYN0R
Italians Now Hope to Find a
Home for Scattered
Monument.

Because Park Commissioner Slower had
made IL obvious to a number Of italians
In this city interested in the erection OF
monument to Dante that he could not see
his way clear to granting site for the
monument the parts of which have been
scattered about the waterfront for some
time. tho Italians went over the Park Com
missioner's head and interested Mayor
Gaynor in the subject. AS result the
Park Commissioner has just submitted the
project TO the Municipal Art Commission
and has named three tentative sites 10 De
considered by the commission.
Following the appeal to the Mayor by
the Italians, the Park Commissioner re-
ceived a letter from the city's chief execu-
tive, the contents of which the Park Com
missioner refused to discuss yesterday.
Commissioner Slower could not really re-
member that he had been opposed to the
monument, despite the fact that he made
a statement TO that effect at recent
hearing regarding It's erection in this city.
I'VE would have gone to the Mayor
long time ago." said one OF the Dante
committee yesterday, but out OF courtesy
10 Mr.. Slower we waited FOR him to decide
without doing 30. He showed, however.
that he was not the least bit anxious to
find a site for the monument
Commissioner Slower said the sites he
| had submitted TO the Art Commission in
cluded Morningside Park, st. Nicholas
| Park and Colonial Park. The Italians had
| suggested four sites, including Bryant
Park, Long Acre Square, the 18th street
and Fifth avenue plaza and the Mall In
| Central Park.
| Mr. Del Papa, secretary OF the Italian
committee who was seen later In the day.

Leo Pasternack had his revenge yester-
day for all the times he has been ordered
TO "get into line there" for all the hours
nc has sat helpless listening to good ad-
vice and for all the times he wanted II
giggle and didn't, for Leo is graduating
from Public School 1SS, at Houston and

ant task of burlesquing his principal Ed
ward Mandel, on the class day programme
A mock assembly Of the school was held,
with Principal -Mandel of1ciat-
ing the performance consisting largely OF
prancing up and down the aisles, grabbing
smaYs ~sstH ~ the collar and ordering them
to get into line there" If Mr.. Mandel
were really half as fierce as his youngster
portrayal of him. II is safe 10 say that the
two hundred boys of the class would not
have gazed so adoringly upon him as they
did, following his every move with shining
black eyes when he himself was finally
asked to SAY few words to the boys by
the small master of ceremonies. Mr. Man
del assured his delighted audience that ne
had profted much by the object lesson
There is no mirror so good as bright
boys eyes" he said. IF we could all see
ourselves as the schoolboys see us, we
should be better men and better teachers
Another boy caused much delight by
Initiating the teacher who habitually places
his pencil behind his ear and then forgets
il.
Boys, where is my pencil? Have any oil
you taken it?" he demanded, exctedly, ana
when the members OF the class were good
and ready they responded in loud and
joyous chorus:
IT'S in your ear"
Another very popular number on the pro-
gramme was the performance OF the 'Glee
Club" attired to show their bravery In the
garb OK the boys of 76, blood stained and
ragged. Carl Peck delivered the class
