President Ryan Submits Some
Surprising Figures to Edu-
cation Board.
URGES ACTION AT ONCE
Official Says Facts Warrant
Investigation of School
Administration.

George 7. Ryan president of the
Board of iucat submitted to the
regular meeting Of the board yester-
day a-rnoo~ report on an investi-
gatioU I'd Of the num-
Der of pupil time in the city
schools. The els disclosed in this
investigation, he declared, reveal con-
ditions in the administration of the
elementary schools that Stem to me
to warrant immediate action by the
Board oe Education. The facts before
me show:
THAT the opening of new school
buildings has not resulted in the re-
duction of part time to the degree
estimated in our building program.
That the complete use Of sittings at
present available is not being made"
Mr.. Ryan's report declared that IS in
vestigation disclosed these condition.
Districts in which the number of
pupils has decreased since September.
1921, report this September a substantial
increase in part time.
Districts in which the registration
has increased report an increase In part
time far In excess of the number of
pupils added. allowing an increase of
two part time pupils for each pupil reg
stered in excess of the September, 1871
enrolment.
"As to particular schools this situation
Is revealed:
Schools with fewer pupils this fall
than in September. 1891. have reported
more children on part time.
Schools that have increased in reg
istration have reported disproportion-
ate Increase IN part time.
''In three groups of schools covered
in this report there is disclosed a loss
in registration of 1,o22 pupils But in
stead of this resulting in a decrease of
1000 pupils on part time 1t has actually
been followed by an increase Of S,732
pupils on part time"
DR.. William Ettinger. Superintendent
of Schools, also presented to the board
a report on an investigation made by
District Superintendent Tidsley of the
5000 pupils on double session in the
high schools. These. he declared, are
failing TO receive 494.4i0 pupil periods
each week. an average Of seven and n
half periods a pupil, which they would
have. received we're they enrolled in a
full length single session school with
proper equipment. For the most part
these periods are study and physical
training periods.
Considerable discussion was caused
when President Ryan introduced reso-
luton that 'the Cadillac car with a
chauffeur to be selected by him be
assigned to the president or to such
use as he may direct" 1t appeared
from the discussion that there are two
such cars owned by the board. one used
by DR.. Ettinger and the other by the
committee on building and sites. DR.
Ettinger tried TO learn IL IL was his
car President Ryan wanted, but no In
formation was given him and the reso-
SUTTON was passed.

some OF the, raiders noticed that the
cellar which they haJ explored did not
conform exactly to the measurements Of
the floor above. This led TO the discov-
cry of the walled In room and the 300
cases OF champagne. Strumpf said that

was found and boarded II UP himself

he had reason to believe that Mamie

Strumpf met the raiders and told
them that whisky. alcohol and wine
were stored on the premises by firms

was found In rear room on the third
floor. The door was locked and sealed
and labels indicating that liquor had

first that the prohibition agents were

and prepared to protect the property.

The big feature of the cattle trade
during the week was the fact that
looked for by sellers for some time.
This kind of steers showed a sag in
prices for the period, while choice
light steers also made some i'm
provement in their quotations.
Tuesday, July 4, will be holiday at
the local yards. Ady livestock ar
irving on that day will be cared
for, but nothing will be sold. Re-
ceipts were estimated at $500 cat
tie; $4,000 hogs; 1900 sheep and
l 900 calves.
Cattle.
Few good cattle were in the pens.
The small lots were picked up well
at fully steady values, holding the
market at the best point for the
week. Some prime heavy steers
sold at $3.50, while others went at
$3.50. Cows and heifers found q
fair outlet at unchanged price lev

$3.50 or like the day before. Pack

BROOKLYN RAPID TRANSIT.
BY STUART p. WEST
tCopyrixhL. 1927

BEiOUkLfN RAPID TRANSIT.
There has been steady buying of
Brooklyn Rapid Transit at rising
prices ever since the publication in
the middle OF the week OF the May
earnings report This, when an
alyZed, showed that the road, be-
sides covering its fixed charges and
taxes, was earning at the rate Of
over 8 per cent on the stock. The
meaning Of this it is felt. by many,
is tina THE Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Will be out of the hands of the re-
ceiyer before very long.
OIL STOCKS.
Oil stocks were under pressure
again for a while today. Fresh ma
terial for bear campaigning was
found in the report that the nego-
tiations between the Mexican n
nance minister and heads of the
American Oil companies doing
business in Mexico were not pro-
ceeding favorably and that the
whole project to join forces for the
exploitation of new oil territory
in the Mexican republic was in
danger of being abandoned. Mexi
can Petroleum broke quite sharply
for a time and so did the Pan
Americans. There was conspicu-
Gus weakness again in California
Petroleum. Maryland and Independ-
ent Producers and Refners. On the
other hand Sinclair, Phillips &,
Texas company were better sup
COAL sTOCKs.
The stock most affected by the
governments Intervention in the
coal strike situation was Pittsburgh
Coal. This had a sharp run up
representing the shares of a com
pany most of the mines of which
have been closed down. Pond
Greek Coal went along moderately
with Pittsburgh Coal. but this was
not at all logical in view of the
fact that Pond Creek is a non
union company and the stock has
been bulled because of the abnor-
NAL earnings during the strike pc
riod. These of course would cease
with the resumption of the union
mines.
