Union Hills
Growing School

1t is not only in the Bergen sec
ton of the Palisades that questions
of school economies and management
are demanding much thought on the
part of officials. In the upper Hud-
son section of Union Hill, the prob
lem of accommodating $50 new
pupils, and also meeting an increase
in the budget for the coming year
from $4,000 to $147,00O, must be
solved by the Board of School EST
mate.
The increase in attendance for
1915-16, carries with it correspond
ing increase in class rooms, and class
teachers. The increased expense thus
caused together with the increase in
salaries of the present teaching force
is estimated at $10,350.
The problem of the School Board
of Estimate is to pare off various
appropriations so as to keep the
total advance in the budget down to
the $1,000 as before stated.
1t is the policy of the city's mayor,
Mayor Rannenburg, and the school
authorities to keep down the budget
in every way possible with the least
sacrifice to the efficiency of the
schools.

NEW YORK HIPPODROME

The policy of diversified entertain
ment at popular prices inaugurated
at the New York Hippodrome ten
weeks ago continues with great sue
cess at the worlds largest play
house." The big outstanding feature
of this weeks program is a gripping
dramatic feature film entitled "The
Plunderer" with that most popular
of film actors, William Farnum, in
the leading role. Mr.. Farnum en-
cages in fist fight in this picture
which for sheer ferocity and force is
said to have never been equalled
This is the first showing anywhere of
this picture.
The principal musical feature is a
costume advertisement introducing a
new group of singers, the Hippodrome
chorus and the orchestra. There are
new living pictures, new program
of selection by the symphony band
and continuation of the water spec
tacle which utilizes the wonderful
resources of the largest tank in the
world.
Other features include the first
showing of a motion picture reveal
ing incidents in the recent tour of
former President Roosevelt to South
America. There will also be shown a
second edition of the film picturing
thrilling incidents in connection with
the Pendleton Roundup and the Gus
tomary showing of the Mutual
Weekly.

Prominent Jury
Baiters Punished

A scandal developed at the Court
House, Jersey City, on Monday after
noon, when a number of prominent
citizens were pronounced guilty OF
attempting to influence the verdict
of the gentlemen of the Grand Jury.
The proceedings were be or e
Francis ]. Swayze, Supreme Court
Justice, Judge Mark A. Sullivan and
Judge George G. Tenant
Considerable surprise and con-
sternation was evident when, instead
of the judges simply applying reprl,,
mand to the accused, fines OF several
hundred dollars were imposed, SIX
being for $500 each, and three at $50
each. This decided action on the
part of the court, indicates reversal
from previous practice. A counsel
for one of the defendants pointed out
in his plea for his client that the Gus
tom of approaching jurors had been
the usual thing, and that the latter
had not known he was at fault IN
the matter. He was, however, fined
$25.
The counsel in the latter case was
Assistant Corporation A t t o r n
Horace Allen; the accused, Morton
Mortensen, a stenographer In the
formers office. Counsel Allen adj
vised the court that, in order to
prevent the practice of the improper
approaching of jurors in the future
a notice should be served for Its
cessation. This the court gave
within the hour.

MAKE THEM
YOUR FRIENDS

In one of Plutarch's Lives" this
incident is related of Agesilaus H.,
one of the most distinguished of the
Spartan kings:
Agesilaus was very fond of his
children; and it is reported that
once toying he got astride upon
reed as upon a horse and rode
about the room; and being seen
by one of his friends, he desired
him not to speak of it till he had
children of his own.
Curiously enough, substantially the
same anecdote is related of one of the
Spanish monarchs, who kept an am
bassador waiting for audience while
he crawled about the floor with his
little son upon his back.
The moral of all of which is simply
this-a father should never grow too
old, too important, too dignified to
play with his children. Be boy with
your boy, and companion to your
little girl. Be their friend, chum, pal,
playmate. Treat them as equals, and
never fear that such condescension
will diminish their respect. If any
thing, it will magnify it. 1t certainly
will make them love you more.
There is no happier combination than
that of father and son, playing like
boys together, or mother and daugh-
ter, mutually engaged in juvenile
amusement. 1t is a pretty picture,
indeed, to see father or mother seat
ed on the floor with their child, read
ing a Mother Goose book, or FASTING

Miss Anita Bondi
Opera Star at

Direct from New Orleans comes
Miss Anita Bondio to the stage OF
the Palisades Amusement Park Thea
ter. 1t can hardly be called direct"
either, as she came by way OF Milan,
where she received her musical educa-
ton under the direction of the noted
Madame Sabatini. Her first public
appearance in the Italian city was in
Rigoletto under Maestro Galassi, and
was Immediately pronounced sensa-
ton. Later she sang in Don Pas
quail, and last season was at the
Queens Hall, London.
On her arrival in this country, she
was engaged by the Avitable-Martelli
English Opera Company to appear in
a repertoire of standard operas in
English at the Palisades Amusement
Park Theater, which opens the sea
son on next Saturday with 81

The operate season at the amuse-

one of great merit, as tenors and So

for carrying concealed weapons and
discharging firearms within the city

Officer Winters was nearby and heard
the shots. Thinking that some trouble
was going on he ran to the spot.

threw the revolver into the river. At
the station he told Lieutenant Graf

but Graf booked the man to appear
before Judge O'Brien.
