Principal Boice of School No. 81.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD Like w.
T. Bingham attended Public School
No. 81. at Eighty-seventh street and
Fourth avenue, but my recollections of
the principal, Mr.. Boice, are distinctly
contrary to those expressed by Mr..
Bingham.
He was indeed the strictest kind OF
disciplinarisn and the boys were in
mortal fear OF him. l distinctly re-
member that on one occasion one of the
older boys. who was doubtless about to
be chastised, was on the point of jump
ing out of a third story window, and
was in fact hanging on the windowsill
by his hands when Mr. Boice rushed to
him and drew him inside. catching hold
OF the boys long hair TO assist in the
operation.
On the other hand. I am pleased TO
mention william owen as having been
my teacher. and retain the pleasant

East Against West in Football.

With Yale beaten by Iowa, Prince
ton apparently destined to be out
done again by Chicago next Satur-
day and Harvard facing the possibil-
ity of being defeated for the second
successive time by Centre of Ken
lucky this afternoons, Eastern foot
ball appears to stand on the thresh-
old of cataclysm. Critics in the West
and South hail what they term the
downfall of the effete East with un-
disguised jubilation. The East, say
the other sections. has been king over
long. Western football is far supe-
rior to the Eastern brand, we are told
from the direction of Chicago.
Intense, clean, sportsmanlike ri
valry among the sections is splen-
did thing and has worked wonders
for football. But the Big Three no
longer are the outstanding represen-
tatives of the East on the gridiron
any more than Chicago, Michigan and
Wisconsin may be called the football
monopolists of the West. Teams like
Penn State, Lafayette, Washington
and Jefferson and Cornell have risen
to the Matterhorn peak in Eastern
football in the last few years. 1t is
not fair to this part of the country to
regard a victory for Iowa over Yale
as decisive, definite evidence, that the
game as 1t is played in the West is
stronger than the greatest football
we have developed in the East.
Nor is it fair for the East to
claim all the major honors. Football
has become a truly national game.
Great players from East, West South
and Northwest have gone into every
nook OF America as football mission
aries. The sections are learning from
one another. A Yale man, DR.. HARRY
WILLIAMS, developed the first great
shift at Minnesota. A Washington
and Jefferson eleven was using the
modern forward pass with telling ef-
feet at the Polo Grounds even before

startling efficiency. But the East is
borrowing the tea party formation
out of which to break into a play,
and is glad to acknowledge its West
ern origin.
HOWARD JONES, the Iowa coach, 10
Yale man. Is the football which he
has taught to the Hawkcyes all West
ern? AIoNzo STAGG, the coach at
Chicago, is Yale man. Is Chicago's
football all Western? On the other
hand, HUGo BEzDEK, the successful
coach at Penn State, Is a Chicago
alumnus. The sections borrow plays,
coaches, methods from one another.
No section has a monopoly in this
great game of football any more than
any section has a monopoly OF great
baseball players or shining lights<in
lawn tennis.
Football is intensely American. 1t
is All American.

The Turk Back in Europe.

When REFET Pasha, Extraordinary
Commissioner for Thrace, with his
staff Of Nationalist officers and sol
diers, and accompanied by the new
Governor OF Adrianople, entered Con-
stantinople Thursday he gave to the
day a significance which will make
it remembered in Turkish history.
When he stepped on the pier at
Galata the Turk had returned to
Europe and the allied control OF
Constantinople had come to an end.
For three years the Turk has not
been master at his capital. Even
when REFEr crossed the Galata bridge
and in triumph climbed the heights
of Stamboul to the mosque OF Sulei-
man the Magnificent Constantinople
was still occupied by alien troops.
But he left no doubt OF the fact
that he was returning as q victor
&c his own. I'VE know we have one
of the biggest armies in the world
and that we are to-day the most pow
crful military nation in the world"
he said. I'VE have achieved q vic
tory which I am confident no other
army could have won" While thus
extolling the Turks prowess he
should have remembered that il was
not the strength Of the Turkish army
that brought him back to Constanti
nople and given credit to the weak
ness of disunited Europe.
REFET's tfiumphal entry was but
the preliminary TO the turning over
of the city 20 the Turkish National
lists and the entrance OF KEMAL, their
leader. Already, a special cable mes
sage to THE NEW YoRK HERALD from
Constantinople says, triumphal arches
span the streets in the heart Of the
Christian quarters and the Turks are
preparing a reception such as no
other Turkish conqueror ever re-
ceived on his homecoming. When

Maughan's Record IndI.
Gates Possibilities of Flying.

TO THE NEW York HERALD; Even
aviators were astonished at the wonder
full speed that Lieutenant Maughan made
on October 16 In his landplane. After
winning the Pulitzer trophy on October
IA with ZIG miles an hour he made
another worlds record of 24s.5 miles.
Speed In the air is an element OF
safety. A fast machine drives through
the inequalities of the, wind where a
slow machine is rocked and pitched. A
machine that has speed of 15O miles
an hour is fit to conquer 100 mile
hurricane and 1t has been done.
The limit Is far from having been
reached. II was found by one OF. our
aviators that at an altitude of h5.00
feet there was a westerly wind blowing
at the rate of 200 miles an hour. TAX
ing advantage Of this wind 1t will be
quite possible, even with our present
speed. to take breakfast in New York

Not Worthy of AL Smith.

In a speech at Syracuse on Thurs
day night the Democratic candidate
for Governor, Mr.. SMITH, charged
that the public service legislation
passed in the administration Of
Governor MILLER was corporation
drawn" And he added that "the cor
porations all thought they would
come in while the going was good"
The voters of New York State want
facts in this campaign. Let us see
what the facts are about the fortunes
of one line Of public service corpora
tions during the respective admins
trations of Governor SMITH and Gov
ernor MILLER.
The Public Service Commission
that was in Office under Governor
SMITH increased carfares in thirty
one cities between April 1, 1920, and
April %, 1921. in fifteen cities the
increase was two cents; in sixteen
cities 1t was one cent.
In the spring of 1921. after these
increases had been made, Governor
MILLER's public service legislation
was passed and he appointed his COM
missions. Was the going good for the
corporations after that, as AL SMITH
suggests? The fact is, according to
the official records of the Public Ser
vice Commission, that. in eighteen
months under the Miller commission
carfares were raised in only two
cities and decreases were ordered in
at least two cities.
The New York HERALD did not
and does not criticize Governor SMITH
because OF the fare increases in his
term of Office. 1t is likely that the
inflated costs of the period made it
necessary to raise fares or abandon
traction lines.
But THE New YORK HERALD regrets
to see former Governor SMITH get
ting down to the level of the City Hall
demagogues and echoing Mayor
HYLAN's trite phrases about the ter
rible corporations.
If Mr.. SMITH is willing to brand
Governor MILLER as an ally of the
corporations because of fare increases
in two cities, what does he expect the
public to think of his own admins
tration, with its record OF so many
more fare increases?

none, because none has to work fifteen
hours a night. Can any corporation or

that every other branch has Sundays

Expect No Price Drop in Next Decade
Harvard Committee Economic Research Advises
Acceptance of the Present Levels.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoKK HrDtn.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 2o.--No drop In
prices 10 the pre-war level is to be ex-
pected for the next ten years in the
opinion of the Harvard committee on
economic research Prof. Charles J. Bull
lock, chairman OF the committee. said
tonight at the first session of national
conference of subscribers to the Harvard
economic service held at the Harvard
Club of Boston.
Business is affected by price move
ments." he said. more than by any
other single factor The probable move
ment of commodity prices during the
next ten years is, therefore, OF especial
Importance at a time when the revival
of business activity is clearly disclosed.
"The plausible inference that prices
must return to a pre-war normal has
frequently been drawn from the fact that
prices have reverted to their former
levels after previous periods of currency
initiation in the early and middle nine
teenth century. The Harvard committee,
however, cannot accept this conclusion.
Ii cannot find that the governing condi-
tions exist to-day (which brought about
lower price levels in the past.
"The gold situation must first be con-
sidered Upon all the evidence we have
concluded that monetary stocks of gold
will continue to increase at the rate OF
approximately s150,000,000 per annum
during the next eight years. and this
means a larger annual increment than
the world has ever had except during the
few years prior to 1915. Before the war
commodity prices were increasing at a
very substantial rate. with an annual
gold Increment of $232, 900, 900. and there
was a general complaint of the increas-
ing cost OF living. which had led to the
appointment of numerous parliamentary
and legislative commissions to investi-
gate the problem. In view of this fact
II would seem that an annual Increment
of $50, 900, 900 should be ample to pre-
vent decline of gold prices during the
present decade.
IF, therefore. the general trend of
commodity prices declines during the
present decade this result will be due to
the financial policies pursued by the
leading commercial countries and not
to a shortage Of the yellow metal.
These policies, of course, are wholly
subject to human volition, although
they are not within the control of any
single country, unless 1t be one that oc-
cupies a position Of commanding influ-
ence. Perhaps as the leading creditor
nation the United States might exert
such an influence on financial policy.
especially II 1t should oppose measures
calculated to depress prices and so to
increase the burden of indebtedness in
herited from the great war.
Drastic deflation and restoration of
the former gold standard were possible
in England and the United States after
1915, and In the United States after 1865.
because conditions were not as critical
as they are to-day In most of the bel
ligerent countries. Even so the policy
entailed many years Of falling price,
that involved long periods of deep de-
preston and caused intense suffering.

it possible to endure the strain. but the
