As result of the failure of Mayor
Hylan to keep his campaign promise to
provide seat for every child there is
rot single pupil in this school re-
cciving regular full-time education.
The school has thirty-six class rooms,
but there arc no less than 2,629 chill
dren registered there for instruction.
or an average of seventy-three children
for each class room.
There are 10S children in the kinder
galten classes, and in order to solve the
problem presented by the remaining
pupils 1853 of them have been placed
on strict part-time instruction and 879
are being taught under the makeshift
double session scheme.
The terrible congestion n this school,
like that existing in virtually all of
the other schools throughout the city,
is directly due to the increase in regis
tration and the fact that Mayor Hylan
has only provided 1881 new seats in

in the same period Of administration.
The congested condition existing in
this district as result of the neglect
of the Hylan administration is also re-
f1ected in Public School 1870, Brooklyn,
frame structure at Eighteenth Ave
nue. and Sixty-seventh Street. In this
small school there are 487 children
registered, while there are accommodate
tions for only 287. The difficulty has
been met by placing 253 of the children
on part-time instruction.
Another badly congested school in
this district is Public School 1853, at
Seventeenth Avenue and Bay Fourteenth

tered. Of this number 1868 are on

Old English Sofas
Au Quatrieme

The English learned a
long avhale back that
sofas CON be both lururi-
ously comfortable and
fine of line. And they
made them so.
Au Quatrieme are several
old English sofas which
bear out this rule. One,
delightfully."- comfy" but
dignified enough for the
most sedate drawing-room,
is of the Queen Anne period
with four cabriole legs. It
is covered with an Old bro
cade in a wonderful shade
Of wistaria purple. $500.
Another English sofa IN
Queen Anne style shows the
French influence of Louis
XIV. 1t is of white painted
wood, has four cabriole legs
with shell-carving at the
knees and dainty little
carved roses in the top of
the back. 1t is covered
with a fine pale green old
brocade. $3.50.
A high backed settee, COW
cred in Hungarian needle
point, reflects the period be-
tween the Jacobean and
William and Mary, with
turned legs and carved
stretchcr Of walnut running
all the way across the front.
$1,000.
Two other typically Eng
lish sofas are in mahogany
covered with a lovely old
chintz in a towering fruit
tree design on a dark brown
ground. One Of them is
easy and low, the other
bit straighter of back and
narrower of seat. Both are
good Of line and gratifying
to sit upon. S375 each.

Beautiful Spring Cabaret

The May Cabaret given at the ar
mory, ushered in the spring-time with
one of the breeziest, prettiest and
most original entertainments ever seen
in Las Vegas.
The armory was decorated elabr-
atelv and after a novel plan. The
entire ceiling of the building was hid
den by thousands of waving, down
hanging festoons of crepe paper OF
all colcrs, from which were hung at
close intervals artificial flowers set
off by tinsel. Hanging baskets con-
taining flowers were suspended above
the four corners OF the dancing floor.
The stage was made close-in and
was decorated after the same fashion,
with the addition of a flower-cover-
ed fountain and handsome floor
lamps.
The guests were seated at tables
abort the sides of the room, or IN
the balcony. Dancing was enjoyed be-
tween entertainment features, and re-
freshments were served during the
evening. All lamps were made to ap-
pear as flowers.
The cabaret numbers were given,
under the direction of Mrs. Margue-
rite Cluxton Root, by the lmmacul-
ate Conception choir, assisted by sew
cral of the city's best musicians -

REVISE TEACHERS
CERTIFICATION

1t is gratifying to note that the edu-
cational conference held at Santa re
recently went on record Tor a re-
vision of requirements for teachers
certificates, says the Taxpayers As
ISOLATION of New Mexico. The pre-
sent system is not modern in many
OF its features and is lacking in that
it fails to make clear the signitic-
ance of certificate issued.
The term first grade certificates"
is for instance misleading. To most
people this means our first class GER
tificate, but that is far frorA being the
case. Our highest form is a Lie
Professional certificate which repre-
sents education, training and success
full teaching. Only a teacher with
at least five years of experience and
who has education and training equiv
alent to a four year High School
course and W years of Normal
School work can secure this form
of certificate.
What is a first grade certificate? ~
1t does not represent, in Its MINIMUM
requirements, either experience, edu-
cation or professional training. One
may hold a first grade certificate who
has not taught at all and has not at
tended a month of school above the
eighth grade in the elementary schools
of the state. The most liberal inter
probation of the qualifications requir-
ed of a first grade teacher is that
one year of experience is required and
o~e wear of work of secondary or
High School value.
There are three groups of c%ertifi-
cates-all issued by the State Depart
ment of Education /: Professional
Life and Five Year Certificates; 2.
Special-High School, Music. Voca-
%tiona1, Spanish, and Physical Train
ing; 3. Elementary-First Grade, Sec
ond Grade and Third Grade, 1t will
be seen, therefore, that a first grade
certificate belongs to the lowest series
~ teaching licenses. Such certificate
is not difficult to secure and when
secured may be good for twelve years

requirements. Examinations are has

a very pretty cantata at the Rex
Theatre on Friday evening, under the
direction of Mrs. Harris, who has
spent a great deal Of time and talent
in the training of the little tots, and
the way they performed is no small
tribute to her patience and skill.
A number of the girls possess very
pleasant voices, and their singing
pleased the well filled theatre. The
dances OF the fairies were also very
well done, about forty girls taking
part.
While the boys of the schools had
no part in the play, they assisted very
materially in the work OF preparing
the stage, as ushers and in selling
tickets, one boy being credited With
having sold As.
