connection it developed that there was
no law that compels the city to enforce
ITS fre regulations upon itself. While
'nere is some question as to cri-
m,nal liability in case of fire, it was
the opinion of Mr.. Brown that blame
Tor neglect of these notices would fall
first upon the Board of Estimate for
failure to provide money repeatedly
demanded by the school authorities
and then upon the school authorities

School Conditions to Var
Points to Hork Just Finished
or in Hard, in Facing Charges
,,pufed to Political Bins

Mayor Hylan issued the following
statement last night respecting the
disclosures made yesterday before the
Meyer committee:
$50 that the people of the city may
know the correct facts about school
conditions and not be misled by po-
iitical opponents, biased and unfriendly
newspapers, l feel it incumbent to make
the following statement:
There were opened on Monday. Sep
TENDER IL, in the City of New York
twelve new schools. seating $4,000 chill
dren, thereby providing full day seats
for 10000 children who were on part
time in 1920. Before the end of the
year there will be ten additional
schools opened. further reducing part
time by over 10000 There are seven
teen more schools and additions under
contract and as fast as they can be
finished they Will be opened Other con-
tracts for the construction of schools
are about to be let. Forty million dol
lars has been appropriated during my
administration TO build schools. The
school program provides for an add-
tionai $37 900 900, which will be appro-
priated at the request of the Board of
Education.
The first year of this administration
new school houses could not be con-
structed owing to war conditions. The
same conditions prevented the erection
of dwellings,. The second year labor
conditions were such that little prog
ress could be made. More schools have
been built, opened and are under con-
tract during this administration than
IN several past administrations COM
blned If this administration had not
had the law amended the construction
Of schools would to-day be practically
at standstill. This condition would
be just what those who are circulating
false propaganda would like to see.
These same political propagandists
are endeavoring to lead the people TO
believe that this administration is re-
sponsible fer conditions which pre-
vailed in the schools for many wears
before this administration took office.
1T is regrettable that every four
years, whenever an election comes on,
these same professional political propa-
gandsts attempt TO use the schools as
a political football.
81 wish to say to them now that so
far as the present administration is
concerned that notwithstanding their
nlisstatements in their attempt to play
the cheapest kind of politics and retard
/ the progress of the construction of
schools, our program to construct
schools will continue"

lie declared that the crude classi-
lcation of pupils without regard te
mental and physical characteristics has
caused the greatest waste in education
up to the present time. He urged that
the grouping of the pupils according to
their widely varying ability be OK
tended further.
He severely criticized the attitude of
radical teachers and appealed for ideal
istic service by the members of the
teaching staff with obedience to consti-
tuted authority. He declared his view
that doubtful loyalty to existing polti-
cal institutions should not only be an
absolute bar to advancement for teach
ers but in all but few exceptional
cases should be the basis for disbar-
ment from the service.

GRAVES OF TWO GIRLS.

Far from the scene of the tragedy
there have been discovered in the
Aran Islands off the north coast If
Ireland, the graves of two vounU
women victims of the Lusitania ho"-
ror and efforts are being made by the
American Red Cross to solve the
mystery of their identity. The only
clues are the name of one, Annie VOL
verman, and the initials of the other
%. c. c. Whether they were Amer
leans can only be coniectured, for so
far as has been learned no inquiry
concerning their fate has ever been
made.
1t was during field visit of a
worker connected with the London
Chapter of the American Red Cross
that the graves were found at Kilro-
ran, where the bodies of these two
victims were washed ashore The ma
tives gave the bodies decent burial
and an American Red Cross worker
with the hello Of 1 rlienI n New
York, raised enough moe, to mark
each of the graves with a headstone
in the form of pillar and cross, sim
liar to memorials that are to be seen
all along the road leading to the little
burial ground.
The initials 81. C. c." were dcciph-
cred from a wl'ist-watch worn by one
of the young women, while the name
Annie Wolverman appeared on an en-
velope addressed to the Lustanid
which was found in the others cloth
ing. Nothing else about the bodies
furnished clue to their identity.
