Albany. March pa hill codifying
the educational laws &C the state. pre-
pared by DR.. John II. Finley, of the
State Educational Department, was in
troduced in the Legislature to-day.
As drafted by DR.. Finley, the bill
would give New York City a smaller
Board Of Education. reducing II TO ht-
teen. but its introducers, Senator Lock-
wood and Assembyman Hinman,
changed it 10 make the board twenty
three members.
DR.. Finley was angry. and declared
he and the department he represented
would insist on the bill being amended
to comply with his draft.
The bill establishes Department OF
Public Instruction in each city, to be
controlled by a board of from five to
nine members, except in New York
City. The latter board shall be COM
posed of six members from Manhattan
and an equal number from Brooklyn.
The Bronx. Richn md and Queens are

bers are to be chosen from the city at
large. The Mayor shall designate the
members so that the terms of one
fifth. as near as may be, shall expire
On the first Tuesday in May. 1916. and
each year thereafter until May, 1920
After that all appointees are to serve
five years.
Explaining the purposes Of the bill.
DR.. Finley said: The essential feat
ire of this bill is that under it boards
will have broad and comprehensive
powers, which will make unnecessary
constant aDDealS 70 tho eOi slatura for
the extension Of the powers Of the
boards Of education to do this or that
particular thing which this or that
city desires to do. The bill has been
so drawn a to leave the financial man
agement of school affairs in those
bodies where such powers now reside
in the several cities throughout the
state. Care has also been taken to
protect all teachers now in the ser
vice in the rights which are theirs

When drygoods manufacturer meets

was flooding the downtown district
Now, the cloak and suit makers are
moving into the region hitherto dedi-
Gated to aristocratic shops, and dIplo-
matte relations between them and the
retailers are strained to the breaking
point.
No active steps have been taken by
either side TO settle the controversy.
There have been debates and confer
euces and a movement started TO boy
colt the products Of all manufacturers

line. but no definite action has been
reached
II is not merely patrician prejudice
which inspires the retailers 10 OBJECT
