E. E. COrtright, superintend- ent of schools, has prepared a statement of policies upon which the budget of this year will be made. The paper is prepared, primarily, for the Board of Education, but it is also intented for the infOrma- ton of the public, that the peO- pie may have a more detailed knowledge of the school sys-
 tenn.
 The schools in Bridgeport are, in the whole, economically operated, but they carry a large number of children on half time, in portable buildings or occupying basement rooms. In the seven year period from 1915 to 1922, the growth of public school population is 100 per cent. greater than the growth in the city population. Mir. COrtright's statement fol- lows:
 The Building Policy
 In our public school housing pro- gram, the Board of Education has followed these policies:
 l. To provide every child with a full day session.
 ? To remove all pupils from damp. poorly lighted basement

IN THE SCHOOLS OF BRIDGEPORT
JUNIORS HOLD
 FIRST DANCE
Merry Crowd in Gym After Pigtail Day Hard Games for Lo- calls.

As if to top off the hilarious doing. of Pigtal Day with yet another affair of color and brilliance. the Junior class held their first dance in the High school gymnasium last evening. A large crowd of merry makers att tended. The gymnasium was decor ated with the newly chosen class cor- ors, jade green and gold, the pen nants, balloons and streamers form ing g. fetching decartive background. The committee in charge of this dance included: Decoration com mittee, Thomas McGoverp. Florence Outhouse, Donald Baird, Hans Ow- ems, Mary Roach, Eleanor Lynch, chairman; color commbtee, Virginia Marsh, Kenneth Moore. Howard Ba- ker, Joe Grossman and Alice Rock, chairman; purchasing committee, Es- telle McElroy, chairman; Paul Hil- lard, Mary Drews. Shirley Daskam, John Herman and Rudolph Peterson.
 Hartford Today
 The basketball team tackles the heaviest portion of it's schedule to- day when Hartford High school brings it's basketeers to the local floor. The Capitol City has resumed ath- letic relations with Bridgeport after several years cessation. This fact should be gratifying to fans who have been complaining that the HiMtop- pers have not been meeting teams representing cities in Bridgeport's class.
 The game will be hard one for the locals. Hartford is always a cou- pie of jumps ahead of anything Tn this state, excluding Crosby, in bas- ketball. With the line up strength ened in no slight degree by the re- turn to the graces of the faculty or Charlie Randolph, an experienced center, the high schools chances have frightened like a new buffalo nickel.
 The girls team. under Miss Helen C1ark's cotton. take on their strong est opponent of the year when they m eet Wallingford High here. The Wall3ngford misses are a great pas- ketbaH team and can be expected to give the B. H. s. varsity a tough rub.

A complete report of the commit tee, its recommendations and investi- gations of the visual educational needs in the public schools of the city, has been sent to each board mem Der.
 The committee. after long delibera- ton, has found that the advantages of visual education in the schools have been sorely neglected. Re- viewing the importance of visual ed ucation, the committee states that authorities find that 85 out of every 100 impressions received by the mind come through the eye. Stat ing that there are unlimited possl- bilities in improved illustrative ma terial, the committee asks the board to consider the following recommeo- dations:
 Ask Appropriation
 First. an immediate appropriation of 2,000 for an adequate number of maps, globes and charts, for use in the study of geography and h1s- tory.
 second, creation of a stereopt1con for use of all the public schools of the city, the library 10 be in the Board of Educa- ton rooms and to cover a wide range of subjects.

EVENING HIGH
 SCHOOL NEWS
By LOUIS COIN


 The Evening Hgh school assembly held on Monday was a strictly at home affair. there being no outside speakers. MT. Bruel started off the assembly with the kind of commun- ity singing that he is noted for. Rob- ert Bduno made his first speech as pres dent of the Evening High School Lea que.
 Forty girls turned out for the first meeting of the B. E. H. S. Girls basketball team. Work was started at once at organizing the team and the team will hold practice as soon as the gym can be secured. There is much good material and there should he no difficulty in shaping a team that will rank with the best girls teams in the city. Marion Cody. chairlady of the committee, is well pleased at the response. If there are any girls who have not joined the team, and wishes to do so. she is re- ouested to hand in her name at the office.
 What are you doing with your eve nings? is the subject of a poster now being prepared by Edwin Coopers' class in printing for the E. H. s. It is an advertisement pointing out the advantages of coming to F. H. $. instead of wasting evenings fooiishly. It is to be distributed soon by the members of the school.

of the tax budget. Many of the cities of 100000 to 1000 population. into which class Bridgeport falls, receive as high as 40 per cent. of the total daX budget. In fact the average is something over 35 per cent.
 How Is This Money Spent?
 What becomes of the school dol lar? Far more important than the inc 0me of any individual or corpora ton is the efficiency with which that income is spent. Are the schools wisely administered Are the appro- priations carrectly balanced The single reason for the maintenance of a school system is the instruction may be had for the children attend ing. Ire aim Of every wisely admin istered school system is to apply di- rectlv to instruction as large per centage of uhe budget as possible.
 What happens to the school dollar in Bridgeport The following table will show the distribution of the school dollar in the median of other cities in Detroit and in Bridgeport under the four headings of Admins tration. Instruction Maintenance and Operation of Plant.

Maryland Jockey
Club Adds $4,000
To the Preakness
Victor in Pimlico Stake
Will Earn More Money
Than Winner of Derby

BALTIMORE, Md, March l7.-The
Maryland Jockey Club at a short ses-
sion of the board Of directors to-day
added $4,000 moro to the Preakness
stakes, making total Of $50 600, which
equals this years boost Of the Kentucky
Derby
Conditions of the Preakness and
Derby make the former more valuable
to the owner of the winner. This is
S51 900 for the Maryland classic and
$47,S00 for the Kentucky.
These figures are based on the start
ing of twelve three -year-oids in each
event. The nomination fec is nothing
for the Preakness, against $25 for the
Derby. Ninety-two entries were re-
ceived for the Derby, making a total of
$4,000, which is added to the purse.
1t costs each owner $1,000 to start in
the Preakness and $500 in the Derby.
An even dozen in each race makes an
addition of $4,000 to the Preakness
and $4,000 to the Derby. The grand
aggregate for each is: Preakness. s62,-
900, and Derby, $4,000.
From the main pool each racing as
sociation takes $4,000 and divides it
among the second, third and fourth
horses to finish. Pimlico- splits it s5,-
600, $4,000 and $4,000, and Churchill
Downs $4,000, $4,000 and $1,000 -.
Subtracting the starting fee for each
winner makes the Preakness worth
SOL 900 and the Derby s47,800. For
each additional starter over twelve add
$1,000 to the Preakness victory and
$500 to the Derby.
Both stakes will be run the same day,
May 13.

ionable ailment, to wit, sunburn, che
exact cause of which affiction the Doc
has not yet discovered, although he
thinks the sun has good deal to do
with it, supplemented by fair-haired
athletes being out in the sun. Those
things often bring on sunburn.
To-day's infeld drill formation being
the one which will cIinch tomorrow
with the White Sox-White Sox rein
forced by Collins and Sheely--consist-
ed of spry and spirited work, the best
yet, with Kelly at first, Rawlings at
second, Bancroft at short and Groh at
third. They grabbed grounders, raked
IN hot shot from McGraw,s. bat and
whipped the ball around, this Gordon,
with Aleck CASTOR behind the plate
spurring them on with snappy com
ment.

but the re-mentioned infeld was
having its first workout. There was
great deal of life in the practice to-
day, morning and afternoon. In the

Berry at first, Hale at second, Kopf at

Graw believes in working out young

Ryan is slated to pitch for the sec
ond team in Beaumont tomorrow, with
Virgil Barnes and Jonnard the likely
nominees for the game here with the
White Sox. Frisch will not be able to
play, although he is convalescing fast.
He was out walking around to-day with
his spiked foot in tennis shoe.
The most engaging feature of the in
field display this afternoon was the
throwing. An array of sinewy arms
was on view. The ball flashed and
interlaced and criss-crossed back and
forth and forth and back-touch and go
baseball, with units all on their toes.
Kelly's potent arm was there in all its
potency.
