ALLIANCE.
MANY SUGGESTIONS OFFERED
The Alliance Heard a Delegation of
Residents Who Came to Protest
Against Abandonment of Nc
Donogh No. II School.
New Orleans

New orleans
Various methods Oy which the pub
lie schools revenues might be aug
mented were discussed at the meet
ing OF the executive board of the Pub
lie School Alliance, and it was decided
that the ordinance committee investi-
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 or
the liquor license and consequently
more money for schools, suggested
that the public should be educated, in
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 were sug-
gested by statements of J. NJ. Gwinn
OF the crowded condition OF the
schools. H. F. Kerkin had called at.
the Gayarre school, and Mr.. Gwinn
was explaining that this was not the
only crowded school. S. ID. Graham
and l.. Z. Bentley thought the bond
plan, which failed a few months past
because Of technicality, by which ST.
10000 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, 1t was
about the same delegation that ap-
peared before the school board at it's
last meeting. Louis Bauer of the al
lance championed their cause, and
Mrs. f. 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
nent from President Walker that 1t
was for the alliance to decide
whether or not a mass meeting should
be called to demand 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.
ccrtained.

been unsuccessful.
The British and French troops,

are meeting with some success, and
besides repulsing Bulgarian attacks
have undertaken small offensives with
good results.
