The critics say that whereas 100'new school buildings are needed only four have been built that Hylan's cutting of the school budget forced the city to, borrow over $7,000,00 from the state in order to pay it's teachers, that this means in creased taxes, that it's disgraceful to see the biggest town in the world adopt the smallest educational policy in short, every ones blue except the lucky 90000 pupils who have to go to classes only half a day.
 Meanwhile, the autumn modes blos- som along the avenue; 100000 va cationists return in one enormous jam; and the town settles down to work. worry and winter. The "emergency' rent laws are holding up s1,000.000 of rents in the Bronx municipal court-money useless alike to landlord and tenant. Three Rus sian princes arrived in the steerage. looking for jobs. Greenwich Village is scratching under plague of Jer- sey moSquitos.

The Ku klux <lan was rebuffed by local authorities when it tried to organize here, the theory being that New York has enough raids, hold-ups and indgen- ous horros without, importing any more.

A BRIEF OUTLINE
OF SERVICE
That May BE Rendered by Commune
ty Advisory Boards of the
.s Salvation Army.

These Boards consist Of from seven
to fifteen influential citizens inter-
ested in community welfare. Officers
are chairman. vice-chairman, secre-
tary and treasurer. Their survey and
general interest cover the county as
a Whole rather than the metropolis" or
county seat. Therefore, some mem
bers should be located outside ofssuch
centers. sss
Members will be instructed by
personal representative of theaSaNa-
ton Army and, in addition, willshave
leaflets or bulletins sent from time to
time, showing the varied service of
the Salvation Army ana how it can
be applied to any community.
Special cases of need that can not
be supplied by local organizations
come under the supervision of these
boards, and through the chairman and
secretary, should report to this head
quarters or to the nearest Salvation
Army officer who in turn, will con-
meet the need with the proper depart
ment of the organization and advise
with the local board how such case
may be handled. AS an illustration,
we now have three unfortunate girls
in our home for unmarried mothers
at Cincinnati who have been sent
through the activities Of local boards
The financial needs of the Salvation
Army service will also come under
survey BY these boards, and either
through their own members or BY
SPECIAL temporary committee created
for the occasion, will make am annual
appeal to the community for such
funds as may be agreed upon by the
Salvation Army officials
Frequent meetings are not neces-
sary for in many cases the boards do
not meet except at the call Of the
chairman, and then only as specific
matters demand attention.
Each member becomes center Of
educational influence and the board
collectively can cooperate with local
agencies already established thus
avoiding duplication.
Many other items Of service will
come to the attention of each board
that can be handled within their own
circle of influences and which cannot
be put down in general way.
This method of extending the SER.
vice of the Salvation Army has
passed the experimental stage for in
some parts Of the West and far West
they have been operating for more
than year. 4n
