URGES SIMPLE DRESSES.
inexpensive Graduating Gowns for
Girls Suggested.
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star
Allow me, through your helpful and
valuable paper, to dwell on the ques-
tion of dress in the public schools-at
this time particularly, the time OF
graduation.
Must 1t necessarily call for an ex-
.penditure of one hundred or maybe
one hundred and fifty dollars to suit
ably dpess girl who is going to
leave school?
The last half of the last year OF
school seems to hold but one thought
thought that the sweetest days OF
girlhood are about to come to close
but the frivolous desire TO have the
parents spend more than they can af-
ford for the most useless clothing
that girl can have.
To make the apparel useful after
using it for two nights-class night
and for the graduation exercises Ga
different outfit for each nighD-a
pupil would have to attend functions
that custom does not prevail in the
homes of all Of those who graduate
This is not "A ruling of the teachers
neither the board of education. 1t is
controlled by a few of the pupils, d
majority vote and love for dress
rules.
The girls who realize and know
that this extravaganza will work a
great hardship upon their parents
cannot have the right of decision
, The past four or five years have been
times of great stress and pressure
for money and clothing to help the
unfed and unclothed, also the high
cost Of living. Every member of d
family has done his or her bit and
the collections for charity in the
schools had to be met also by the
parents. The cost of books and sup
plies for the scholar has been great
and this four years particularly
greater. owing to the cry for help.
There are so many mothers l an
sure who will be glad to help with q
! suggestion for suitable, inexpensive
and at the same time a fitting cos.
tune that will symbolic the sweet
simplicity and closing of a young
/ girls school days.
{ AS suggestion. will not the pros.
pective girl graduates hold another
meeting to determine a plan of econ
! omy which will be so helpful in every
way?
These suggestions and appeals are
; from mothers and girls who are try
| ing to meet the high cost of living.
What does education mean to the
girls who are leaving school?

OYSTER TO DETERMINE
Department EFFICIENCY
Commissioner Asks for Data on
Functioning Of Various
District Works.

Commissioner James F. Oyster will
begin a survey this week to find out
IL the departments under his super
vision are operating efficiently and
economically.
The first step toward determining
these facts was taken yesterday. when
the Commissioner addressed the fol-
lowing memorandum to the heads of
all his departments:
You will submit to me. on or be-
fore the 25th OF May. a statement of
the working and economical manage
ment of your department. the number
of employees. the number, If any, Of
those who appear to be inefficient. and
any recommendations you may have
concerning the personnel of your de-
partment"
This step is in line with the an
nounced intention of both Commits
sioner oyster and Commissioner Ru-
dolph when they took office to give
the city a business-like administra- :
ton.
1t is known to be their desire to
have each branch of the municipal
government perform it's particular
function to the community as eff
ciently as possible with the appropri-
ations available.
