Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Cen

"1he Central Federated Union has

William H. Ntzhugh,, vice president
of the International Printing Pressmen

of President Rouse spoiled an other

reply, reversed the charge on McHugh.

Children Pledge
Selves to Become
Good Americans
5000 Hold Meeting Of Their
Own OH the East Side and
Nearly Raise the Roof as
They Sing Our Anthem

An Americanization meeting cf a
new order was held last night in Public
School 62, Essex and Hester Streets. It
was Tor the children and was arranged
by the Mayors Committee of Women
on Reconstruction. 1t was so well at
tended and went with such gusto that
Miss Julia Forester, secretary OF the
committee, declared it would not be the
last of the kind. The original inten-
tion was to hold the meeting in Sew
ard Park. The rain interfered, but it
did not serve to dampen I'll the ardor of
the youngsters. as 5000 of them
squeezed into the building and another
LOCO had to be turned away, according
to the policemen on guard. Parents
were present, too, but the main idea
was to get the children; the younger
the better.
The soft pedal was put on oratory
as the little people liked hearing their
own voices best, and the things that
went were the songs and the moving
pictures. They nearly raised the roof
with the strains of "America." They
all seemed to know the words fairly
well, although by raising their hands
it was learned that only 60 per cent
of them were American born. The
rest first saw the light of day in Rus

monkey who rescued fair damsels
from robbers and jumped into lions
dens as bodily as Daniel was the hero
of one of the pictures. Indeed, a
whole zoo was let loose on the screen
to the huge delight of the youthful
5000. A touch of conventional Gamer
canization" was picture demon
strating the spirit of liberty of rs and
comparing 1t with that Of 1917, with
the foreign-born joining arms for lib
erty.
Nathaniel Phillips, president of the
League of Foreign Born Citizens,
pointed out to the children that this
was not only a land Of opportunity
but of reciprocal obligations. America
offered education, physical comfort,
work and a home, and expected in re-
turn good citizenship and evolutionary
reform, not Bolshevism.
This was so effective that before
the end of the meeting the officials
in charge were besieeed with eager
children wanting to know where they
would tell their parents to go to "be-
come Americans"

Law Must Be Amended
"'rhe so-called 'pay-as-y you-go' act,
passed in 1916, which took full eff
feet January /. 1918, prohibits the City
of New York from issuing bonds for
schools or other public improvements
that are not revenue producing' The
necessary effect Of the pays you-go'
act is to prevent the construction of
new schools and other like improve
ments or to require their cost TO be
included in the annual budget The
cost of such improvements is so great
that if included in the final budget

ton law and the 'pay-as- you-go act
must be amended to give relief from
this situation.
1T will be seen, therefore, that the
vital element in the tentative budget
for 1920 is the appropria tion requested
by the Board of Education for school
purposes. This estimate was withheld

priations have been allowed, so as to
afford ample opportunity for public dis
cussion and revision.
1T is entirely too early to make any
predictions with respect to the tax
rate. Whether there will be any in
creases in the rate will depend mainly
upon the manner in which the appro-

BEN FRANKLIN EARLY
LEARNED FRUGALlTY
Great American ExampIar Of Thrift
Knew Value OF Regular and Sys-
tematlc Saving For Future.

Thrift Is not stinginess. In fact II Is
more often than not that the thrifty
man is the one who is truly generous.
BENJAMIN Franklin. our national ex'
emplar OF thrift, was. from boyhood
up, always liberal and unselhsh. Rene
Bache. his great.great-great grand
son. gives an instance Of this charac-
teristic Of his ancestor in q story No
tells:
The price Of bread two centuries
ago was penny loaf. Thus 1t hap
pened that Benjamin Franklin, boy
OF seventeen. on arriving in siladel'
phia. was able to buy three loaves for
three pence; and with them he walked
ND Market Street from the wharf
holding one under each arm and eat
Ing the third. An hour later he gave
two OF them to woman and her
child who had been fellow voyagers
UP the Delaware"
Rene Bache goes on TO say Oh
Franklin: Where his own e1pendr
lures we're concerned he was always
frugal, saving what he could out OF
his wages as printer. while his TEL
lov.vorksrs spent theirs as fast as
they got them, or faster. In this way
Il came about that, while mere
youngster in = printing office, ne lent
them money every week
Though the earnings OF most OF
thsm we're greater than his, ne was
capitalist. BY the middle OF each
week they were penniless. and came 70
him for loans to carry them over until
nsydsy. He would accept no interest
but each Saturday, on getting their
money they gave back to him what
they borrowed-only to repeat the
borrowing a day or two later
The secret OF Franklin's success
was systen,s,ic and persistent saving
from the time he first began to earn
money. and always having a savings
fund he was ever ready to grasp MIS-
opportunities-those OF lending >
helping hand as well As those OF SELF
betterment.
Let Benjamin Franklin be your ei'
emlpar-start saving today. Thrii.
Stamps are an easy beginning ana
pave the way to certain future

Court a Tremble
Thus, with u master the very re-
verse of polite, accessible, or gem
crous, and n submaster trying to
outdo the other in arbitrariness and
contcmptuous treatment of all be-
meath him In rank or social station,
our Court was I'm a wretched plight,
and the Empress ladies especially
suffered from this barrack regime.
Our private apartments in the
Schloss at that time left much to
wish for in a sanitary sense, as in
deed they do now; but whenever
Countess Won Brockdorff, Or any of
us, ventured to suggest the slightest
improvement to the Court-marshal,
that functionary cut short our COM
plants in the rudest manner pos
sible. And not only that: even the
Empress orders were treated much
in the same insolent fashion, so the
whole Court was kept III a perpetual
turmoil.
Disgraceful Rows i'm Palace
The male dignitaries and officials
of the imperial household Jared no
better than ourselves under the
Kings lieutenant. and disgraceful
rows and minor disturbances were of
almost daily occurrence, while the
servants, besides being subjected to
the coarsest treatment, had to endure
threats of corporal punishment.
These browbeatings and bullyings
continued uninterrupted and unpun-
ished until the omnipotent Pooh

prompted his nomination of a gen.
