also, we believe, the first time the

the size of the audience it will suf

his most popular roles. In character.

The report adopted last night by the
Board of Education is an amended
digest of the original communication
prepared by Edward B. Shallow, as
sociate superintendent in charge Of
buildings and sites, the latter part of
December. The communication was in
the nature of review of the Comp

revision of various construction

New Plans Are Reported
Mr.. Shallow declares the Board of
Education "should be permitted to ex-
ercse its functions, to determine where
school buildings shall be erected and
where school sites shall be selected. I"
According to Superintendent Ettinger
there are numerous construction plans
now IN the hands of the Comptrollcr
awaiting his choice of sites, some of
them having been forwarded to his
Office more than month ago.
A revised program of building
under the S15,0o0,oo0 appropriation IS
embraced in the report, which the
Comptroller will receive to-day tor
approval or rejection of the Board IF

not to consider as unused school

The Board of Estimate tis further
asked to rescind the resolution and re-

ber 26, 1919, which provided that any
additional appropriations for the
acquisition of sites for new buildings
be deferred until certain sites were
turned back to the sinking fund COM

Pasture. But Reddy knew that he would
have no peace Of mind until he found
out how Peter and Mrs. Peter had
escaped. He sat down and with his
head on one side studied that fallen
tree-trunk. One end of it was buried
under great pile of brush. A sudden
thought popped into Reddy's head.
Could it be that that trunk was
hollow for its whole length, with an
opening at the other end, and that
Peter and Mrs. Peter had slipped out
at the other end and crawled out from
under that pile of brush?
Reddy promptly began to in-vest-i-
gate. You know, that means to look
into and thoroughly examine. He
trotted around to the back side of
that pile of brush and with eyes and
nose examined every inch of the snow
covered ground around that pile of
brush. He couldn't find a single OPEN
ing under that brush big enough for
Peter Rabbit to have used. His nose
could not find even the faintest scent OF
Rabbit. Once more Reddy sat down to
study, and he was more puzzled than
ever.
The more he puzzled over the matter
the more sure he became that Mrs
Reddy must have taken q nap without
knowing it when she had been on watch.
But he knew it would never do to say
so, for he knew that she was equally
sure that he pust have taken a nap.

age system

The Teachers Welfare League started
agitation yesterday against the Lock
wood-Donohue bill granting increases
IN pay to teachers on a percentage
basis. The league announced its sup
port Of the Mullan- Hutchinson bill
which provides for flat increase.
Under its provisions the elementary
teacher would start at a minimum sal
airy of $4,000 and work up to $1,000 in
ten years. Under the provisions of the
+, Observation-Disclosures bill the beginner
would receive 81 ,005 plus an increase
of 40 per cent, OF S1,4O7.
The league charges that elementary
teachers would receive fmaller in
creases under the percentage system
than the higher grade teachers who
need the increase least.
The two bills were compared and
, explained in circular distributed at
yesterdays meeting at the Public Ii
brary, at Pacific Street and Fourth
Avenue, Brooklyn. Frederick T. Lewis
president of the league, presd ded. Miss
Lillian Hatch, recording secretary, read
the bills.
Fears that the lack Of unanimity
among teachers as to the merits of the
two bills might imperil the whole, cam
paign for salary increases, were rid
iculed by Miss Clara C. Calkins, chair
man of the legis laaive committee of the
league.
Letters were read from F. H. L.
Guardia, President of the Board oil
Aldermen, stating he had appointed two
investigators to find out why money
due teachers who were i'll in 1918 hac
never been refunded to them.

Artists Diction Is Good and His
Tones Are Warm and
COlorful

Few singers have given a better ac-
count of themselves this season than
did Franklin Riker at his recital in
Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon.
While his singing cannot yet be called
distinguished it is ;esthetically sane.
That is to say, his work represents
neither the struggles in public of an
amateur technician nor the gurglings
of temperament run amuck. His
tones were warm and colorful.
Furthermore his diction in French
English and Italian was of the best
and he showed a keen appreciation of
varied styles and nationalities. Recli's
"Frammento di Ballata," Fourdrain's s
"Carnaval," Hamilton Harty's "Lagan
Love-" Brahmss Remembrance" and

songs which provided the program

gave pleasure and compelled attention
