10000 Pupils Will Have to
Resume Studies ON Part Time
nyian administration Deprives ITO in Each 1000
1hlidre1n OF Chance to Obtain Satisfac-
tory Elementary Education


When New York's schools open their
doors on Monday, September l2, for the
beginning of the falu term, 11o children
out Of every 1000 under instruction in
elementary grades will be on part time,
Mayor Hylan wss swept into Office
Tour years ago on the specific promise
that he would provide seat for every
child in school. The close of the Hearst
Tammany-Hylan administration will find
10000 pupils in the elementary schools
on part time, twice as many as ever be-
tore were denied full educational ia
cilities.
Ihis unprecedented situation is ag-
gravated by the fact that every report
indicates crowded conditions in the
schools this fall will be the worst ever
witnessed, despite the belated compile
tlon OF the first new schools opened in
the Hylan regime.
The crowding is expected to exceed
even the conditions which marked the
close of the last term, when more than
LOO classes in elementary schools had
a registration of fifty or more pupils.
Estimates indicate that the total reg
istratlon this term will exceed 100000

tions sought to be imposed would
divide her into two artificial states,
each destructive of the others in
f1uence in any common council, and
both subject to military, naval and
economic control by the British gov
ernment.
THE main historical and geograph-
ical facts are not in dispute, but your
government insists on viewing them
from your standpoint, and we must
be allowed to view them from ours.
The history you interpret as dictat-
ing. union we read as debating sepa-
ration. Our Interpretation Of the
fact of geographical propinquity' is
no less diametrically opposed. We
are convinced that ours is the true
and just interpretation, and as proof
are willing that neutral and i'm
partial arbitrator should be the Judge.
You refuse and threaten to give eff
feet to your view by force. Our re-
ply must be that if you adopt that
course we can only resist as genera
tions before us have resisted. Force
will not solve the problem and it will
never secure the ultimate victory
over reason and right.

we, too, are convinced it is essen
tlal that some definite and imme-
dlate progress should be made tow
ard basis upon which further ne
EQUATIONS can usefully proceed and
recognize the futility of "a mere ex-
exchange Of argumentative notes. I
shall therefore refrain from COM
menhing on the fallacious historical
references in your last communica-
ton. The present is the reality with
which we have to deal,
The conditions of to-day are re-
sultant of the past. Accurately sum-
ming it up and giving in simplest
form the essential data of the prob
lem, these data are:
First: The people of Ireland. ac
knowledging no voluntary union with
Great Britain and claiming as their
fundamental and natural right to
choose freely for themselves the path
they shall take to realize their ma
tional destiny, have by an overwhelm
ing majority declsred for independ-
ence and to set up a republic, and
more than once have confirmed their
choice.
Second: Great Britain, on the
other hand, acts as though Ireland
were bound to her by contract of
union that forbids separation.
"The circumstances Of the supposed
contract are notorious. Yet, on the
theory of its validity, the British gov
crnment and Parliament claimed to
rule and legislate for Ireland, even to
the point of partitioning Irish terri
tory against the will of the Irish peo-
pie and killing or casting into prison
every Irish citizen who refuses al
legiance. The proposals your gov
ernment submitted in the draft of
July 20 are based fundamentally on
the latter premises. We rejected
these proposals and our rejection ia
irrevocable. They are not an invita-
tion to Ireland to enter into free
and willing partnership with the free
nations Of the British commonwealth.
They are an invitation to ireland to
enter in the guise of and under con-
ditions which determine status
definitely inferior to that Of these
free states.
Canada. Australia, South Africa
and New Zealand all are guaranteed
against domination of the major
state, rot only by acknowledged con-
stitutional rights which give them
equality Of status with Great Britain
and absolute freedom from the con-
troll of the British Parliament, but by
the thousands of miles which sepa-
rate them from Great Britain. Ire

last term is placed at approximately
$1,000 pupils.
Same With High Schools
To meet this increase there is a bera
possibility that nine new schools ani
three new additions. may open in time
for Monday next, but this is only q
possibility. Even if these buildings
open their doors in time they will pro
vide seats for 1919 pupils, or approx
mately 5000 less than the number
needed to care for the normal increas Sc
in registration.
Official statistics of the Department
OF Education show that part-time
pupils have increased 175 per cent in
the first three years of Hearst Hylan-
Tammany rule. This percentage will
be increased despite the belated build
ing program this year In the high
schools an equally unsatisfactory con
dition exists. The part-time instruc-
tion in them has risen from 3,99s
pupils to 25,141 pupils up to the end
OF the last term. This term it will be
much worse, and encroachments on
elementary school buildings for high
school purposes will have to be made.

the Hylan regime will result in the

LONDON, Sept. (By The Associated

preceded in the British and Irish press

statements that it would create a very
grave situation. Perusal Of the reply.

should decide to impose time limit
within which Ireland must accept or re-
ject the government proposals.
The reply shows that Mr.. de Valera
and the Dali Eireann have not receded
in the slightest from the position for
merly adopted. 1t emphasizes that the
government proposals are not an inyi-
t&tlon to enter into free, willing part
nership with the nations of the Brit
ism commonwealth, but that, on the
contrary. the conditions Mr.. Lloyd
George seeks to impose would divide
ireland into two artificial and mutually
destructive states. 1t insists that the
plenipo potentiaries must enter a con-
ference untrammeled by any condi-
tions, but with that proviso says that
the Dali Eireann is ready to appoint
plenipotentiaries-
Further Exchanges Probable
Except that Mr.. de Valera seems to
ignore the Prime Minister'S warning
OF danger in continued delay, the posi-
ton IS much the same as on the occa-
sion of the last exchange of letters. and
almost certainly there will be further
exchange before real crisis arises.
The most threatening feature Of the
situation still remains the refusal cf
Ulster to yield the slightest point, and
IN persistence in this attitude Ii is rec
ognized there is real danger.
DUBLIN, Sept. 4 (By The Associated

ing carefully studied here aa to
whether il involves an actual breach
OF the negotiations. The general opin-
ion is that it is meant to keep the

reply to Premier Lloyd Georges
proffer of peace rejects his terms,
but offers to meet the Premier once
| more if he will discuss government
by consent of the governed. In
some quarters tonight the situation
is held to be grave. Others con-
tinue to take hopeful view.
Premier Considers Ii
The Prime Minister is considering

where he is spending vacation. In
counsel with him discussing the next
move which Great Britain must take
IN this crisis are General Sir Nevil
Macready, military commander of
the crown forces in Erin, and Sir
Hamar Greenwood, Secretary for
Ireland. The presence of General
Macready is regarded in some quar-
ters as forecasting a denunciation
Of the truce. Elsewhere it is sug-
gested that the Premier may follow
his recent warning against DELAY,
with an ultirnatum demanding that
Sim Fein yield or entail the consc-
quences.
The Premier's decision will be re-
viewed at a meeting of the Cabinet
council at Inverness on Wednesday.
! a feeling still prevails here thst
some way out of the impasse will be
found and that some scheme will
be hit upon to prevent the complete
collapse of negotiations.
In Dublin, where anxiety has arisen
to challenge the hope of continued
peace, it is suggested that the idea of
plebiscite may now be brought out
as last resort, despite the practical
difficulties in the way of such vote.
Swayed by Ulster Outbreak
The Ulster disturbances OF last week
are believed to have been responsible
for the tenor of De valera's most re-
cent communication. 1t is known that
the favorable reply he had prepared
last week for dispatch to Downing
Street was redrafted in the light of the
defiance blazing up in northern Ireland.
Despite the willingness of Sir James
Craig, the Ulster Premier, to agree to
some peaceful all-Ireland settlement.
there are some 0rangemen who are
eager to block peace at any cost. The
power of these men is seen in the
south as part of an anti Catholic drive
and jeopardizes all hope of peace.
