PROMISES
|. ONLY HOPE HELD
OUT TO PARENTS
No School Board Mem
Der Shows Up at Meeting

To date the moves made by the
board of education to help the par
ents of the Eugene Field school out
of their difficulty has been a series
of stalls. That was the concensus
of opinion expressed by most of the
parents attending the last parents
meeting held at 6459 Sheridan Road.
The suitable grounds promised by
the school board have not been found.
Not only that, but no representative
of the school board showed up. This
was the third meeting held by the
parents and tho they were promised
each time to be visited by a member
of the board they were disappointed
each time.
julius F. Smitenka, acting presi-
dent of the board of education acted
greatly concerned about their trouble
when the parents called on him He
is showing by his actions how con-
cerned he really is, said one of the
mothers. "He did not even consider
1t important enough to attend our
meeting to tell us how much he has
been able to do"
The parents realize now that when
Elizabeth Murphy, assistant superin-
tendent told them that nothing would
be done, she told the whole truth
tho she used no diplomacy. And so
did ]. Lewis Coath when at the meet
ing of the building and grounds he
leaned over and confdentially warn
ed one Of the parents "They are de-
termined to make you like it."
The meeting also voiced the par
ents' objections to the building of
junior high school on the Eugene
Field school grounds when they have
been waiting for an elementary school
which has been promised them for the
past IL years.
Representatives of Mayor Dever
who attended the meeting, helped the
board of education out by suggesting
that a resolution Of protest be sent
to the board of education and that
no meeting be held until reply is
received from them. Thus the school
board can also keep on stalling on
this matter until the parents become
discouraged and give up.
Tho some of the parents have sent
the older children to distant schools,
they are forced to keep the smaller
ones at home.

tions.
Most of the morning papers refrain
ed from comment on the debt situa-
ton pending the publication of the
American reaction to NJ Caillaux's
funding plan, but there was an under
current of enthusiasm in view of ,re-
ports that France was likely to re-
ceiye better terms than Great Britain
in the conference at Washington.
The Midi was most outspoken in
connection with a new loan, declaring
that even if Caillaux does not show
enthusiasm for loan, certainly Am
erica manifestes a strong desire to
loan us as much as $40O, 900, O0O."
A Costly Venture
The Morocco campaign is drawing
heavily on French resources and il
was the need for touching up Wall
Street for more money that compelled
the French government to send its
best financial ace to haggle with Sec
rotary of the Treasurer Mellon.
1t is reported here that the Amer
lean government intends to give
France better terms than England,
but will not do so openly. 1t is also
stated that an unofficial envoy of
Coolidge had conference with Gail
laux shortly before he made up his
mind definitely to go to Washington.
1t is not believed that the canny
French politician would venture his
political career on failure in Wash

Furnishing Horrible and
FrightfuI"

The bedrooms of the President
and Mrs. Coolidge, in the White
House are "horribIe and frightful'
examples Of interior architecture
and furniture.
This is the frank statement of
R. T. H. Halsey, New York ex-
pert on period furniture, who to-
day made a preliminary survey
of the executive mansion with
Lieutenant Colonel G. o. Sheriff..
Sketches are to be prepared
Immediately for the refurnishing
of the bedrooms with the hope
that the work can be completed
before the President ard Mrs.
Coolidge return from Swampscott.
Designs, To Be Submitted.
b The designs will be submitted
for the APPROVAL of the President
probably within the next two weeks.
The bedrooms, according to Mr..
Halsey, are grandiose, elaborate
and heterogeneous in furnishings.
They have a collection of fourteen
or more different styles, including
some depressing examples of the
flat walnut school of the late
EOS in the United States. In
Mr. Halsey's opinion, they are a
disgrace to the Executive Mansaon
and the work of redecoration should
start Immediately.
Promises of cooperation have
come to Mr.. Halsey from leading
American manufacturers OF linens.
rugs, and other furnishings. The
period furniture to be installed, all
of the American or colonial type,
will be donated to the Government
by private collectors.
Green Room Plans.
The green room also will be re-
furnished this summer, it was an
nounced today. The room at pres
ent is furnished with some old
Rocco French furniture that has
been regilded. Some of 1t was
given to the American Government
in the Presidency of James Mem oe.
The elimination of all French in
fluence in the White House inter-
Tor, and the substitution OF the
Adam or early American style; is
apparently Mr.. Halsey's purpose. II
the three rooms which are to be
refurnished this summer-the bed
rooms and the green room-are APP
proved by the President and Mrs
Coolidge, the other work will go
forward at convenient intervals
There is no longer doubt that the
commission in charge of the re-
storation believe that the entire
mansion should be done over.
President Coolidge already has
given his complete approval to the
colonial or early American idea.
and Mr.. Halsey today would not
comment on the opposition that has
arisen from the American Institute
of Architects to the work. 1t was
clear that he strongly disapproved
of certain features of the work
that Charles F. McKim did in 1902
with the approval Of former Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
