Various methods oy which thespub-
lie schools revenues might be aug
mented we're discussed at the meet
ing of the executive board of the pub
lie School Alliance, and it was decided
that the ordinance committee inveSu-
gate the problem, report back TO the
alliance and the scheme that may be
approved be made the subject of pub
lie discussions at mass meetings
throughout New Orleans. Joseph
Kohn, having in mind the success OBJ
tanned some years ago, when the al
lance brought about the raising OF
the liquor license and consequently
more money for schools. suggested
that the public should be educated, IN
a similar manner, TO the fact that it
is an imperative duty to provide more
money for the schools by some means
The remarks of Mr. Kohn we're sug-
gested by statements of J. M. Gwinn
OF the crowded condition Of the
schools. H. F. Kerkin had called at
tention 10 the crowded condition OF
the Gayarre school, and Mr. Gwinn
was explaining that this was not the
only crowded school S. ID. Graham
and L. +. Bentley thought the bond
plan, which failed a few months past
because of a technicality, by which 49,
100000 was to be raised the best plan.
and if no better can be devised the
alliance will advocate a revival of
this cheme, with the technical fault
corrected
The alliance heard a delegation Of
residents of the Fourth ward, VINO
came to protest against the present
and threatened abandonment of the
McDonogh No. II school. It was
about the same delegation that APP
peared before the school board at its
last meeting. Louis Bauer of the al
lance champiOned their cause, and
Mrs. E. l.. Schaefer spoke for the
delegation.
A communication from the Co-Ope-
rative Presidents Club relative to the
much-discussed question of new
Normal School. called forth a state
ment from President Walker that it
was for the alliance TO decide
whether or not a mass meeting should
be called to demand a new school. Mr..
Walker remarked that these times are
very inopportune to demand a new
school, and suggested that the plans
of the city in the matter be first as.

MISS H0LLINS' SCORE Low.
Best in Qualifying Round Of Wom-
ems Metropolitan Golf Association.

SCARBOROUGH, N. Y, May 25.-
Playing good golf for the first seven
teen holes and indescribably poor golf
on the home hole, Miss Marion Hollins
Of Westbrook led the field yesterday
in the qualifying round of the Women's
metropolitan Golf Association on the
course of the Sleepy Hollow Country
Club Miss Hollins made a 81 for the
round, over half of which was played
in the rain. and the mere statement
that she took 9 on the eighteenth shows
how well she was playing up to that
time 1t was disappointing ending Of
brilliant round. and though she won the
medal, the former titleholder was not
at all satisfied with her performance.
About eighty women began play at
$40 in the morning and the early start
ers escaped the rain for the first half
of their journey Even they. however
had to cope with the wet grass and
mud on the incoming holes, while the
later starters had to contend with the
rain and it's attendant discomforts from
start to finish. And how much OF a
handicap the storm proved to be can
the scores. Just three women made
the round in less than 100, and the un
usually high total of 107 qualified in
the championship sixteen. Miss Lillian
b. Hyde of South Shore, the present
champion, was second to Miss Hollins.
with 80, and Mrs. A. S. Rossin. with

score was just 100, and the rest all were

much mud and too many slippery clubs
were the complaints heard on every
side as the woman golfers. thoroughly
soaked and bedraggled. made their way
