Live Notes From
The Metropolis
By Carlton Ten Eyck
Written for the United Press

written for the United PreSS)
New York, Oct. 27.-More than $780,
900 children attend the public schools
of Greater New York. A pathetic per-
centage of them come from the East
Side tenements and districts like Hel's
Half Acre, where their mothers work
hard all day and perhaps all night.
The only home influence, therefore,
that the little ones get is at school,
yet the members of the board of edu-
cation of Nv York have turned thumbs
down on mothers as teachers in the
public schools Who knows most about
training young children? The casual
man would say that mother does, but
this is not the idea of the heads of
New 'York's educational system.
These almost one million children
put in their time practically under the
care of their teachers and get not only
their book learning but also much of
their training and ideas of life from
the school. They are taught hygiene
and cleanliness. Many of them are
without mother influence at home. But
the board of education declared that
mother is unfit to be a teacher They
discharged Mrs. Peixotto, teacher in
the Bronx, because she absented her.
self from her classroom to become a
mother In banning Mrs. Peixotto, the
board promulgated a rule that here
after no mothers will be allowed to
hold places as teachers in public
schools.

ImpOrtant Case
Changedon Appeal

A ruling of immense Importance TO
desert entrymen has been decided by
the secretary of the interior in two
cases in the Visalia land office, Lam
vert VS.. Thomas and Detweiler VS..
Thomson The desert entrywomen
were represented by General Frank e.
Prescott. Owing to the Importance
of the cases the following facts are
given in full:
The claimants are sisters and en-
ployed their brother as their joint
agent to make the expenditures and
to attend to their claims, and by
agreement of all parties the two cases
we're consolidated and tried as one
case.
From the evidence adduced the To-
cal officers, on October z, 1912, found
that the allegations of the contest at
fidavits were sustained and recon-
mended cancellation of both entries
January II, 1918, the commissioner
of the general land office, consider
ing the two cases upon appeal, sus-
tanned the action of the local officers
and held said entry for cancellation
and claimants filed appeals to the de-
partment-
The record has been carefully ex-
amined, and the secretary of the IN
terror is unable to concur in the con
clusion of the two lower tribunals.
The assignees bought the entries
about August 4, 1910, for $3.50 each
and Immediately employed then

tries. to make compliance with thf

law as to improvements within the
required time. The money was fur
nished these agents, and contracts
made for necessary work in digging
wells and constructing irrigation
plants upon the land. The contrac-
tors failed to do satisfactory other
work for the agents representing
these claimants, and the contracts
were abrogated. Other contractors
We're sought and found, and other con-
tracts made and executed, but such
contractors delayed in beginning
work, although urged by telephone,
telegraph and otherwise to begin
and complete their work before the
first year, April 1, 1911. Such work
was actually begun day or two be-
fore the expiration of the year, ma
terials for we'll castings placed upon
and land, and pits excavated upon
each entry, and work actually begun.
In the meantime contestants, Lam
bert and Detweiler, perceiving the
predicament in which claimants were
delayed in work, waited only the ex-
act expiration of one year from daue
of entry to file their contests.
Considering the record as whole
the department finds that these
claimants, after the considerable ex-
penditures in purchase of the entries
took every reasonable step, lacking
nothing in diligence, to procure work
done in requirement of law during
the first year of the entry, and that
when such year expired such work
was begun and was actually in pro.
gress to the knowledge of confess.
ants before and when the contest
affidavits were filed. Such work was
continued on each claim, and May 13
1911, supplemental proof was filed il
each case, showing complete expendi
lures for the first year, amounting il
Imperial Valley press., 1913-10-27

the case of Jane Ann Thompson to
s45S.25 and in the case of Elizabeth
X. Thompson to $46S.56.
1t further appears that work upon
the entries has been continued and
second and third annual proofs filed,
showing upon the face thereof the
full amount of required expenditures
but none of the annual proofs submit
ted have been considered by the COM
missioner.
In view of the conditions disclosed,
and of the fact that the expenditures
for the first year were in progress at
the time the contests were filed, and
completed within a short time there
after, and long before the contests
were tried or disposed of, and of the
further fact that the additional ex-
Ipenditures have been made upon the
| land, and the second and third annual
proofs thereof filed, the department
is of the opinion that these contests
should be dismissed and the entri IS
considered upon the annual proofs
submitted, and it is so directed.
The decision appealed from is re-
versed, and the entries held intact.
The equitable rule is to the effect
that annual proofs in course of COM
pletion though not completed on the
expiration of the year, will not fur
nish ground for contest where the
expenditures have really been made
and the entryman is in good faith

in that period, 220 were brought by
wives on grounds of infedility. In
21O of the 22O cases the alleged CO.
respondents were blond. Of the 220
correspondents named, ten were bru-
nettes or red-haired. Blue eyes, too,
play their part in the havoc. Two hun
dred and five had blue eyes, one was
blind and the rest had brown, black
or hazel eyes. With forty exceptions,
the husbands in the 220 cases cited
were brunettes. But thirty were
blondes. The ten not brunettes were

to the curators of the Metropolitan
museum to install the pictures and

good condition.
Atlman's business was his mcst
cherished possession. A bachelor, he
lavished on his big store and en-
ployes the love that might otherwise
have gone elsewhere. So, what to do
with his business after he was gone,
was the greatest problem he faced
when he made his will. He solved the
priblem by creating trust company.
This company will continue the buSi-
ness if B. Altman's $2O,OOO,O00 de-
partment store, following, as nearly as
possible. the policies of its founder
The will, besides disposing of the $13,-
100000 art collection, bequeathef
about $750,00O to relatives, and the
rest of the vast fortune is left intact
to be handled by the trust company
made up of men who were tried and
trusted associates of the lonely mer-
chant.
In all of his seventy three years,
BENJAMIN Altman was never man
of many intimate acquaintance or
close friends, though he was by no
means what one might call distant. He
lived alone, except for two secretaries
and his servants, in Fifth avenue, IN

a veritable palace would accommo-
date his almost endless and priceless
collection of art objects and curios,

cation, though, is not an illogical one.
Those of the members who have OPEN
ly answered the criticism of their act,
say that they do not object to moth
ers being teachers of the fact that
they have borne children, but because
& woman with a family cannot give
her undivided attention to her pupils.
They say that teacher who has ba-
bies or small children at home are
bound, in the nature of things, to have
her mind filled with household details.
While in the classroom she is neces-
sarily thinking of her home affairs,
and is likely at any time to be sum-
moned from school because of sick
ness, illness, accidents. Outside the
school hours her time is taken up with
household affairs, they say, and she
cannot read literature and devote the
study to school subjects that is i'm
perative if her work is efficient.
i, Critics of the board of education
maintain that any small disadvantage
teacher might have by reason of p
baby and home occupying her thoughts
is more than offset by the more init
mate knowledge of children that a
mother possesses.
The slightly built, lame man who
used to walk down Fifth avenue every
morning and at Thirty fourth street

his office on the third floor, was never
picked out by strangers as the pro
prietor of one of the greatest and most
