N. Y. East Side Boys
Suffer Working 70
Hours, Experts Say

Conditions under which workers and
their families are required to live
and work in New York and other
centers are reflected in a report of
the New York tuberculosis and
Health Association, based on an
examination of 1000 boys of New
York's East Side, now made public.
Boys were found working 70 hours
a week.
Messenger and delivery boys and
lads doing other types of light or
heavy labor to aid the family in the
purchase of bread and clothing were
examined.
A Third UndernOurished.
1t was found that only 223 of the
1000 boys were normal. Six hundred
and twenty had one defect, 645 had
Two defects, 374 had three, 1S5 had
from four to six, and one had ten.
Diseased tonsils proved the most
prevalent trouble. More than half
suffered in this respect and most
of them, it was found, were in need
of surgical treatment. More than
one-third of the boys were classed as
undernourished; more than 600 were
from to 10 per cent underweight,
many being excessively tall for their
age. Almost half the boys were
badly in need of dental work. More
than a quarter of them had impaired
vision and sixty were suffering from
eye diseases.
Work 20 Hours.
Sixty-seven cases of diseases of the
ear were found One hundred and
fifty-four boys had heart defects of
various kinds, and 1877 had nasal OBJ
structions and infections of the upper
respiratory tract Cases of skin and
glandular troubles and orthopedic
defects were numerous. Six cases of
active tuberculosis were found, ten
of chronic, inactive nature; thirty
one boys were listed as tubercal sus-
poets.
Special Investigations were made in
220 cases on account of the serious
physical handicaps. These boys were
distributed among fifty-five occupa-
tions, mostly unskilled. Though most
of them worked about forty-eight
hours a week, some worked as many
as seventy. Their average earnings
were $11.50 a week, but most of them
were not in the habit of holding their
jobs long and often there were long
periods of unemployment, the report
added.
All the boys examined were be-
tween IA and 17~years old. A tenth
were American. Boys of Russian or
Italian descent predominated. Twenty
seven pationalities were represented.

H0EHLING'S FAIRNESS
PRAISED BY JURORS
Retiring Panel Thanks Justice of
Criminal Division / for
His Consideration.

Justice Adolph A. Hoehling, presid-
ing in Criminal Division /, was COM
plimented by the retiring jurors In his
court yesterday afternoon. The jurors
presented him with a resolution in
which they expressed their admiration
for his fairness and thanked him for
his consideration of them.
The resolution read: 1--WE, the mem
bers of the jury panel, who have just
finished our term of service before
you in Criminal Court No. /, desire
to express to you our sincere appre-
citation of the many courtesies ex-
tended to us by you during the past
month. You have at all times been
kind, courteous and considerable. May
we also say that in all cases disposed
of by you during our term of service
your rulings and decisions have been
eminently fair, both to the interests
of the Government and the defend
ants? Your court has been conducted
judicially and impartially, without the
fear or favor of any man or set of
men.
1T is with real regret that we are
leaving you, and we wish you and
yours many, many years of continued
happiness and prosperity"

figures justify our belief that the
junior high schools are amply pro-
vided with teachers.
Schools Not Yet Built.
But disregard the fact that last
year we appropriated for every teach :
er needed in the three new junior
high schools, and that we are APP
propriating for them again this year
He asks for 81 junior high teach
ers in addition to those asked for
the two schools not yet built. He
can use Fl of the Is teachers allocat-
ed to Garnet Patterson and Gordon,
for whom he has no use and have
four left unallocated.
Now in the senior high schools he
asks for five new teachers, none of
whom are to be used in new school
houses. DR.. Ballou testified that in
the last five years the average increase
in senior high schools was 852 pupils.
The table on page 521 shows it to be
1872, or 40 less than his figures. He
explains this by saying that he did
not have 1885 available in May last,
when the estimate was made up, but
in the last three years the average
increase had been but $50 and last
year was but 201. So why figure an
increase of 500 in the high schools as
he does? But much of that will be alb
sorbed in the junior high schools.
Suppose the high school increases
twice what it did last year-400. You
would then have an actual enrolment
of 1888 and an average per teacher
of 1913 as against % now If we gave
him those five teachers, the average
number per classroom teacher would
be reduced from 22.8 to 22.6. Based
on average daily attendance and with
the estimated 400 increase of pupils,
the average per teacher would be PIG
without the increase and 21.4 with the
increase"

possibly as much as $350,000.
There is a new item, also, in the
sum of 100000 for providing fire.
proof stage curtains for the Central
and Dunbar High Schools. These
three items, plus an increase of $780,.
900 for the construction of buildings,
including the preparation of plans
and for the acquisition of school and
playground sites account for the
larger outlay proposed for 1928
The building and land projects are
IN conformity with the five-year school
building program authorization. Two
items the committee refused. One, for
an addition to the Crummell School,
the other for sit for a health school
for colored children I, and some of
my colleagues on the subcommittee
made personal survey of these and
other items, and our Judgment is that
there is no pressing need for either of
these two school items at this time
Would Avoid Extravaganza.
In explaining the committees ac-
ton in disallowing an item for more
teachers. Mr.. Funk declared:
Despite our interest in the schools
and our desire to see that the chill
dren of the Capital City shall have
every educational advantage, we must
not, at the same time. Mr.. Chairman,
let our propensities in this direction
lead us into extravaganza. am
convinced that out of the present
total of 1850 teachers the schools
can be made to function smoothly
and efficiently, any statement of the
school authorities to the contrary
Notwithstanding
Turning to the subject of streets,
you will find that the bill generously
provides for lettering and improving
the city's thoroughfares Three inn
portant widening projects in the in
terest of accelerating the movement
or traffic are made possible-one
Connecticut avenue from M street to
Florida avenue; another, Fifteenth
street from I street to Massachu.
sets avenue, and Thirteenth street
from street to Massachusetts, avenue.
Besides the usual run of new paving
items new item of $450.000 appears
for the Improvement of streets
throughout the city, which have been
paved more than 80 years.
Referring to disparities between as
sessed value and asking price of land,
Mr.. Funk said that such difference
gives renewed emphasis to the COM
mittee's contention that the law re-
quiring full value assessments is not
being properly administered, or else
that the owners of property here
which is needed for public uses are
determined to force local taxpayers to
contribute toward extortionate prices
for their personal gain
Despite this seeming deadlock, the
committee does not believe that it is
futile to attempt to accomplish its aim
through the continuation of this price
limitation"
