BOARD TO CONSIDER
EVENING SCHOOLS
$3,420,000 Asked This Year,
as Against Appropriation of
$2,862,000 Last Year.
NEEDS ARE POINTED OUT
Requests for Increase Are
Based on Number Enrolled
for Special Courses.

The Board of Education took under
consideration yesterday a recommended
ton for an appropriation Of s3,42o,ooo
for evening elementary and high school
courses including continuation and night
trade schools, for 1921-1922, as against
an appropriation Of s2,S62. 900 last year.
The board went into executive session,
after which It refused to announce its
decision.
Morris E. Siegel, director of the night
branches OF education, submitted the
figures for the budget which Commits
sioner NJ. Samuel Stern and others In
sisted should be cut down. Mr. Siegel
stated that, while attendance upon his
classes averaged only about twenty, II
was necessary to have them widely scat
tered in order TO accommodate the for
eign born population. Mr.. Stern IN
sisted upon consolidation and larger
classes He also insisted that tho
classes in English need not be Graded,
but Mr.. Siegel replied that grading was
necessary because pupils educated IN
foreign languages made more rapid
progress thar those who could neither
read nor write foreign language.
The appropriations asked by Mr.. Sic
gel and the figures for the last year
were as follows:
Elementary evening classes last year.
$4S4,s74. asked this year. S6S2,537
evening high schools. $733,22S last year.
Ss06,537 asked evening trade schools,
$210,S47 last year. s221,6S1 asked; ele-
mentary trade classes. s1.434.966 last
year, $1,7i0,754 asked this year.
Mr.. Siegel said that attendance upon
elementary evening classes last year was
10000, as against 10000 the year be-
fore. His requests for increases in
appropriations for the coming year were
based on that rate OF increase.
The board extended the terms OF Mrs.
Grace Strahan Forsyth, William z. Hay
ward, Joseph Sheehan and Robert J.
Frost. which expire September 3, until
the eligible list is promulgated by the
Civil Service Commission.
The board voted 10 continue at work
twenty three craftsmen who had been
hired at s2.470 a year to work on plans
for new school buildings, whose pay has
been held up by Comptroller Craig. The

KING EDWARD KEPT
PEACE WITH RUSSIA
Baron Korff Gives Monarch
Credit for Preventing War
With Russia.
BECAME GOOD FRIENDS
w. Morgan Shuster Criticised
for TactIcssness i'm Per-
sian Diplomacy.
BECAME GOOD FRIENDS

WLdAMsTowN. Mass, Aug 3.-Rela-
tions which after beginning with avowed
enmity continued so for many years but
finally resulted In an alliance which had
Russia and England fighting side by side
in the world war, were described to-day
by Baron Sergius A. korff, former Dep
uty Governor-General of Finland, in a
lecture before the Institute OF Politics
at Williams College.
Baron Korff reviewed what he said
was the whole story of Anglo Russian
relations and pointed out that on more
than one occasion the two nations were
close TO conflict The 'statesmanlike
vision" of King Edward VII. of Great
Britain was declared to have been an
impelling factor in bringing about the
ultimate friendship.
Discussing the situation in Persia, which
al one time threatened the amicable re-
lations between the two nations, the
speaker declared that Grcal Britain
played the game Of Russian autocracy
because it saw that the interest served
in the west by the continued friendship
of the two governments was far para
mount to anything involved in Persia.
Baron Korff commented on the part
played in Persia by w. Morgan Shuster.
an American. through remarking that
the United States Government had no
share in its saving.
Finally in 1911 there appeared on the
scene the American Treasurer-General.
w. Mo. - IN Shuster. who by his i'm
pecience and tactlessness soon forced the
crisis to a head. 1t was Persia, how
ever, who had to pay the price for this
diplomatic game.
Morgan Snuster had a splendid
chance Of playing the role Of Bismarck
in 1873 as an honest broker between
the two contendlng States, the Russian
and English, IL only he would have
handled the situation cautiously and
tactfuly. He started however. just the
other way. by violently antagonizing the
Russians. One must say that in no way
old Shuster represent the United States.
On the contrary, and this was rather un-
fortunate. he managed the situation
single handed here was no moderating
influence from Washington
In closing Baron Korff said: I'm the
second decade OF the twentieth century

the Russian nation had forgotten the
former enmity against England. When
the war began in the summer of 1914
The enthusiasm OF the Russians was tre-
rnendous when they heard that England
would participate. They felt a peculiar
assurance that sor that reason the war
would be won.'
Assuming that the Old World con-
tinues to need our food products raw ma
terials and partly manufactured goods
the United States is safe from European
trade reprisals even II Congress should
adopt an extemer protectionist policy.
This opinion was the outstanding fea-
ture in the lecture delivered tonight by
Prof. Achille Viallate of France.
The subject OF the address was "The
Economic Factor in International Re-
lations." Prof. Vialllate declared that
the United States had always pursued
a very independent commercial policy"
