requires a high school terms of four years aid a normal school course of at least two years to qualify, making thus six years in all Many competent young women have cheerfully denied themselves many comforts dear to the wonan's heart to go through this course but If in the future they will have to take a course in political pull to ensure an appointment 1t IS doubtful If many will accept the task. It's too late to do anything about it this year but from the. rumblings go- ing on about New Haven there will be something done about 1t during the coming year and the politicians will not have 1t all their own way

Case No. 2

Another case is that of the New York Institute of Photography. This school is advertising to the public
 that the cost of the complete course, if paid in installments, is $185 and if
 paid in advance $1oO, and that dis
 count is made where two or more
 students are enrolled at the same
 time. The original contract of the
 Veterans Bureau called for tuition
 payment of $175 for a complete course.
 On June 1, 1921, contract was en- tered into calling for a tuition payment of $185 for a complete course. On No
 vember 1, 1921, the above contract was abrogated and new contract made to
 run until June 30, 1922, calling for tuition cost of $5o0 per trainee and an
 extension of the course from four
 months to IA months. The contract for
 1922-23 called for a tuition payment
 of $40 per month for Is months, which
 means a charge of $720 per trainee.
 This offer to the public was known to the bureau officials when the con- tracts were made. On December 21 1923, in a report from the chief of in spection service to the director 1t was recommended that the contract with this school be immediately canceled and that trainees who could be suc-
 cessfully trained in photography be transferred to the City College of New York, the other trainees to be immediately readvised in objectives
 wherein there was reason to believe
 they could be rehabilitated and em- ployment found for them. Special at tention is invited to the date of the recommendation of the inspection di-
 vision, December 7, 1923, that the
 contract be cancelled. On April 12, l 1924, the date this case was examined
 by me, the contract was still m force. An attempt may be made to say | that these are isolated cases, but the fate remains that the recommendations to eliminate these conditions were or | iginally made more than year ago. 1 The facts in relation to these two schools not only show an enormous | waste of Government money, but. what able time of the trainees.

TEACHERS APPOINTMENTS

(Continued from Page One) where husband and wife are both teaching, drawing two salaries from the taxpayers, while other taxpayers daughters, through the manipulation of politics are out of jobs. If these women teachers were summarily re- tired, and it understood that when a woman teacher marries she automati- cally retired, 1t would go a long way to relieve a situation that is now growing serious. Then again there are large number of teachers in the schools whose long service has en- titled them to retirement under the pension act and some of whom, 1t is said, have outgrown their sympathy with the children and also are not up to date on modern methods of teach CTS. These two could be weeded out to advantage it is claimed and give those with the latest methods of teach ing chance of appointment
 It has been the vail all over the state for some years that there is . dearth of teachers and girls have beer repeatedly urged to take it up. Ii

Case No.
 The original contract between the Veterans Bureau and the Lexington Vulcanizing School called for tul- tion payment of $40 for a term of eight weeks for each Veterans Blu reau trainee The cost of training Vet erans' Bureau trainees in this school has constantly increased until, under the present contract, the Veterans Bureau is paying $240 tuition cost per trainee The records show that this increase is apparently due to collision and connivance by the owners of the school with employees of the Veterans Bureau.
 The director has in his possession, and I presume has read, the exhaus- tive report of the committee which he appointed and which made a survey of the work of this school and the op- portunities for employment for those trained vu1canizers. This committee found that there were but few excep- tiona1 cases where those trained at this school could find employment at the trade of vulca1izing. Their report that no employment opportunity exists or will exist in this trade in New York City is supported by report of com mittee of automotive experts of the Merchants Association of New York City
 The committee also found that the relations of the owners of this school with certain Veterans Bureau em- p1oyes was such that the contract l should be cance1ed at once. They also recommended that criminal prosecu- ton of the owners of the, school and certain Veterans Bureau employees be started, and, further, that certain Vet erans' Bureau officials be dismissed This report was made to the director on the 18th day of last February. No action has been taken other than the director has ordered this school closed On June 30 next Why he should wait l four months to close this school after information of waste and corruption is in his possession is hard to understand It IS important to note in this con nection that at the time the Veterans Bureau originally entered into con tract with this school the school pro- fessed to offer to the public a course in vu1canizing from "A to Z' for the sum of $40.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF
 MEYERBEER

Meyerbeer was probably the wealth jest of all German composers, yet his la bors were as industrious as if he were eternally being confronted by the wor- ries of nco1ne' Thus writes Cuthbert Hadden in his book, Composers in Love and Marriage He goes on to relate the following quaint story:
 There is not much to say about his marriage. In 1925 he lost his father, and 1t was shortly after that he fell Ill love with his cousin They were mar ried in 1927 and lived happily ever after. Of course, they had their occasional tiffs, but
 The falling out of faithful friends
 Renewing IS of love-
 "Of one such tiff charming anecdote is told. Meyerbeer had met Chopin in Paris, and taken a great liking to both the man and his music. Meyerbeer had just had a quarrel with his wife, when a new Nocturne arrived from Chopin played 1t through His wife, who had come into the room, was so taken with the music that she went and kissed the player Then Meyerbeer wrote to Cho- pin, telling him of the incident and in viting him to come and witness the do- mestc calm after the storm.
 "Meyerbeer had five children, of whom three, with his wife, survived him and in herited his large fortune He was abnor- mally afraid of being buried alive, and at his death, in 1863, it was found that he had left paper giving directions that small bells should be attached to his hands and feet and that his body should be careful watched for four days. These directions were followed, but nothing happened"

NEW YORK, June 21.-Bond prices

trading, which was marked chiefly
by activity in foreign issues. French
obligations led a brisk advance in

Buying Of the French and other
European bonds was attributed to
confidence that today's conference
between British and French premiers
would lead to an early application of
the Dawes plan and a possible
readjustment of inter-allied debts.
