EXCHANGE HERE
Expert Proposes Major
Market for New York,
Says Holland.

Among other changes Unforeseen
which the European war has occa-
stoned Is the instability of sterling
exchange. Before the war began
the only currency throughout which
had fxed value whereby the
money of the world was measured.
was the pound sterling.
In calling attention to this change
S. r. Wagel, one of the ablest au-
thorities of the world upon silver,
who Is now in New York. said that
this relation of the pound sterling
to the moneys of the world has
changed completely.
III there has been a change II IL
In favor Of the United States. The
American dollar stands upon a firm
basis. Gold Is the standard and the
gold which the American dollar con-
tains Is recognized the world over,
as the true and now only money
standard.
Prior to 1914 Great Britain stood ap-
parently firmly fixed in the position of
the greatest creditor nation in the
world. On the other hand the United
states was a debtor nation and ac-
cording to the best estimates we
owed to countries across the sea or to
citizens OF them probably as much as
5000 100000. England now owes us as
much as this notwithstanding the
great wealth Of the United States
and the magnitude of its visible and
also unexploited resources we remain
ed debtor to the other nations of the
world.
In five years that relation has been
changed and the change has been
caused by the European war. We
are recognized the world over not only
as the greatest creditor nation but
also as greater in that respect than
any other nation even England has
ever been.
Wagel now has come to the con-
clusion that the only plan by which
II Is possible to assure ssential
regulation of the silver market is
the creating OF a major market in
New York. That can be done in his
opinion by the establishment OF a
silver exchange. There are many
reasons why this may be expedient
in his view. For instance. IL a sill
yer exchange were established
banks and bankers in every coun-
try would be glad to buy in the
United states for in that way they
could avoid double freight, insur-
ance and the middle-man's profit.
which they are Obliged to pay in
London.

PLATOON PLAN

PASSES BOARD

half occupies its time in special
work in the auditorium or gym
uasium. BY this system it was es-
timated that ten schools could ac-
commodate at least 2,400 more stu
dents without sacrificing school
work.
Supt. Thurston declared that the
Park View School could accommodate
ESQ children under this plan, where
as IT is now overcrowded with go
children. Considering the size of the
increased student-body. an appreciable
saving in number of teachers would
be effected. he said.
At present the changes will be con-
fined to those schools fitted with au-
ditoriums or gymnasiums. The super
intendent estimated that ten arc
adapted to the reorganization.
One colored school. not designated.
will also be placed on a platoon
basis.
The board authorized Thurston to
visit another city where the plan is
being used in order to closely study
actual operation, II SUCH mp 10
deemed necessary.
All but two members of the Board
of Education voted not to appeal
from Justice Hitz' decision in the
Wood case. Miss Wood accordingly
will be paid one weeks salary which
she lost during her suspension, and
the order suspending her because she
discussed Bolshevism will be re-
scinded.
DIR. John Van Schaick. jr., president
of the board, said yesterday that the
corporation counsel had notified him
the board would stand an even chance
of winning an appeal.
Immediate closing of the Stevens
School (colored) until necessary re-
pairs in the furnace and engine room
are made was asked by Mrs. Nellie
Smith. The board will make an in
vestigation on the complaint that
fumes from the engine room endan-
gers the lives of the pupils.
