Many State Executives Urse
Square Deal for Boys.

The Governors Of the majority Of the
States have recently begun to take an
active part. SO II was learned yesterday
when a number OF their kilograms and
letters to the United States Shipping
Board were made pubiic-in lending
their backing to the Presidents proc
lamation OF October ! urging q Square
deal" for American merchant mariners
Covert attacks on the character and
loyalty or the American merchant sea-
men already In the merchant service and
also against the motives OF the young
men being trained for the service by the
Shipping Board have been much more
common, II was said by officials OF the
Shipping board yesterday. than Is gen.
orally known. AS against these attacks
the Shipping Board yesterday called at
tention TO the Presidents statement OF
October declaring that mo more hon
orable or scryiceable task can come to
any Of our people than that OF manning
our merchant marine" and at the same
time the board made public many like
sentiments from the executives of almost
all the States OF the Union.
1.-THE creation of the new merchant
marine and Its maintenance during the
present crisis and after the war;" Gov
Charles NJ Brough OF Arkansas wired
the board. sis going to require the best

pressed by Governors Cox of Ohio, Brum-
baugh OF Pennsylvania. Edge OF New

COMPLAINS OF DEEP
SCHOOL FUND CUT
Public Education Association
Files Protest.

Charges that the Board Of Estimate,
under the explanation that saving Ia
necessary because Of war emergencies,
Is cutting school appropriations even
more than did the last administration,
are contained in the letter sent to the
Board yesterday by the Public Educa-
ton Association.
The letter makes an urgent plea for
Inclusion In the school budget OF sum-
Client funds to provide needed increases
IN teachers salaries. to meet the present
shortage In teachers. to provide school
lunches, and to make adequate provision
Tor social and community activities con-
sidered as an integral part Of modern
school system.
I'VE note" the letter states. that in
your tentative budget for 1919 you are
proposing to hold tho appropriation for
schools down to the mandatory 40 mills
on the assessed valuation. or $42.0se,-
l26. The present Corporation Counsel
also has reversed the opinion OF his
predecessor. and holds that the 81, $780,
600 or State school funds are not to be
credited to the Board OF Education, but
to the general fund for the reduction Of
taxation. Your appropriation Is there
fore a cut under the request OF the
Board of Education OF s4.o0o.oo0
AT the same time you state that in
creases in the total city budget are due
to war emergencies. May we suggest that
the public Is less likely to look askance
at such explanations II they contained
rational and adequate provisions for
taking care Of the city's children. a
duty which all enlightened communities
are seeing as urgently necessary just
because OF war emergencies?
May we not also remind you of your pre-
election promises to be generous In your
support of the schools? As your tenta-
tive budget stands you are being far
more drastic than the last administra-
ton. which. while Il held the school
budget last year down to the 40 mills.
did so%with the express understan ding
that the two and a half millions Of
state school funds would be available"

FOR HARBOR HERE
Dock Commissioner Lists I'M
perative Needs With tho
Board of Estimate.
FUTURE Is BIG PROBLEM
Meanwhile Suggests Segrega-
ton of Traffic to Relieve
Congestion.

Dock Commissioner Murray Hubert
has presented to tho Board Of Estimate
a plan covering imperative needs for the
development OF New York city's dock
property and adjacent waterways for
four years, calling for the expenditure
Of s2o.%os.i4s.
Tn the face Of tho conditions Of un-
certainty arising out Of the war" Com
missioner Hubert writes, at would be
undesirable and wasteful to attempt to
prepare and furnish statement setting
forth the requirements Of this depart
ment for a thorough and comprehensive
Improvement of the port Of New York
for the next four years. In thought and
In plan we are making every effort to
keep the facilities apace with constuc-
tive needs and requirements, but II Is
impossible TO estimate the unforeseen
demands which the war will make upon
u.s."
In the beginning Commissioner Hull
bert denies the claim OF the United
States Railroad Administration and the
United States Shipping Board that the
terminal facilities at the port OF New
York are inadequate to accommodate
efficiently the water borne commerce
that enters and leaves II. The alleged
conditions OF congestion are due. in his
opinion. TO the fact that facilities are
wasted through lack OF coordination.
Would segregate Tramc.
The Commissioner speaks OF the pos
sibility of segregating the various kinds
Of traffic. of which the removal Of the
Sound steamers to the East River ia
cited as a possible example.
The city should have, the Commits
sioner says. one pier where perishable
foodstuffs could be handled. heated in
winter and refrigerated in summer
The Commissioner suggests the re-
clamation OF the pier at the foot OF East
Twenty-ffth street, which for years has
been used for storage and as a place to
repair the floating equipment of the de-
partment. This work could be done. he
believes. at Whale Creek on the Brook
Ign shore, where 100000 worth OF i'm
provements were made some years ago
to no practical benefit.
Another large pier at Twenty-sixth
street. East River. should be put to
more important use and the Departments
OF Charities and Correction moved to a
smaller pier.
Under the head OF dredging the Com
missioner suggests that suction dredge
be used to pump 100000 cubic yards of
sand upon the Dyker Meadows, Brook
lyn, which the Park Department wishes
to reclaim. Dredged material from vari-
Gus piers could be dumped there also.
Would Remove Ferry sheds.
The Commissioner recommends the re-
moval OF the ferry houses and sheds at
twenty-third and Roosevelt streets. Man
haitian. these ferries having been aban-
doned. so that the full use OF the pier
space can be obtained. A recommended
ton is made for another 1000 foot pier
at Forty-eighth street, North River.

Association.

Tribute to the memory of DR..
Edward NJ. Gallaudet. founder OF
Gallaudet College here. who died at
Hartford. Conn, September 2s. 1917.
was paid by members OF the WASH
ington National Monument Society.
yesterday afternoon at the eighty
fourth annual meeting of the or
ganization. Oficers of the society
were all reelected.
Resolutions of condolences to the
family of the deceased were Of
fered and adopted. In a memorial
address on the life and work of
DR.. Gallaudet. DR.. Herbert Putnam
said:
"Dr. Gallaudet was born to his
career and his task; he inherited
them. His father was a teacher of
the deaf and his mother one of his
fathers earliest pupils. The sons
inheritance from them included
therefore, the devotion of the one
to the solution OF the problem and
the experience of the other in the
inflIction of it.
His earliest conscious contacts
were with 1t and his most intimate
sympathies during his impressionable
years were foundations for his life
work. There are many careers more
vivid than his-careers OF dramatic
surprise, spectacular in their
achievements. / can recall none
for which the man and the op-
portunity seem so perfectly COM
posed by nature and circumstance
nor in which a lengthy useful
service was so fttingly achieved"
The society was organized at the
city hall in this city. in September
1888.
