Nor who will land the final blow:
My greater thought, from these remote,
Is how 20 buy an overcoat

Which shouts of graft and crime and

Though I admit I am not proud
OF the condition New Yorks in;
Unrighteousness ! can't condole,
But How about my winter coaiH
To me the Horse Show is a thing

Its jewels, costumes, women, bring
No interest I'm sad at heart

How can I cherished presents buy?

Loud cries OF right and wrong are

Some for the housewife have a word

When billiards blow. who'll sweep my

petition for new fraternity at the
Cony High school, headed by the name
of John Phelan, who is a Senior at
the school, was presented and dis
cussed. Students for and against the
new fraternity were allowed to give
their various opinions on the subject

II was further voted that the board
order any secret society now in Cony
High school to either cease taking IN
members of any class after the class
OF 1916 or that such society or soc!e-
ties organize as non-secret societies.
The effsct of the vote is that any ira
ternity in Cony High cannot take in
members after the class of 1915 and
consequently, il it remains a secret
fraternity, must expire in 1915, but II
the fraternities wish to organize as
non-seeret societies they can continue
to exist
1t was also voted that the room now
occupied by Delta III he thrown open

The second annual rcportof Supt of
schools Farnsworth G. Marshall, which
was made public, Monday afternoon.
states that the progress of the Augusta
schools during the past year has been
constant and as rapid as is consistent
with successful work. The teachers
and the schools are fast adjusting
themselves to the conditions imposed
upon them by the innovation of the
past five years and the ideal of the
Board Of Education, the establishment
of a modern system OF public schools
is well on its way towards realization"
Supt Marshal emphasizes the neces-
sity for increased flf1l3Jllsi tons for i
the students of this city. Along this
point he says: "tThe increase if total
enrolment is apparently constant from
year to year The first six months of
1907 it was 1890; of 1908, 1721: of 1893
1898: OF 1910. 1852 and for the first six
months of the present school year it
has been zoos. This is an increase in
five years of 376. The increase for the
past year has been somewhat retarded
by an arrangement with the Parochial
school, whereby students entering eth
err the Paroehial or the public schools
must remain in the school of their
choice for the entire year. Had the pre-
yiols conditions of allowing changes
during the year been in force. the IN
crease during the past year would
have been fully as large as that of
previous years. The increase in the
High school in this four-year period is
H. over so per cent, presenting a
problem in the cost of that school The
rural schools show a gain of IS, leav-
ing a total increase in the grade
schools of 237. Two school districts are
materially affected by this increase.

The report states that it is an actual
fact that at the present time 1f5 pu-
pills in this school have unsatisfactory
accommodations The Middle Street
school is declared to be a relic of a
past age in sehoolhouse construction
and the erection of a modern Grammar
school building on the East side and
the abandonment of the Middle Street
building is recommended. A sketch Of
the proposed new building has already
appeared in the Journal.
The reason given by Supt Marshall
for the new building are: Because the
Middle Street building is unfit for
school purposes: because the building
to be erected must accommodates at
the present time 200 pupils: because
che building to be erected should pro-
vide as far IS possible. for the growth
of this section: because 1t is only by
