FAVORS REDPEVlNG
 Of MONROE SCHOOL
!asea'r !sals caamitas H,lhly lriici,S Education Board

N La hiae out in criticism against the board of education, the school survey com mittee headed by former Mayor George A. Quigley. yesterday afternoon declared against aban- donment of the Monroe school as "tommyrot, and tacitly agreed 10 recommend reopening of the build ing to relieve elementary school con- gestion.
 The Monroe building was vacated last year after the latest addition to the system, the Robert J. Vance school, was occupied. Claim was then made that the building was in such a state of repair that it would be poor business to attempt to re- condition it. Members of the survey committee. some of whom are build- CTS, do not agree with the school committee, and believe classrooms could be provided at low cost by making necessary repairs, they said yesterday.
 Waste" Neglect" "Carelessness"
 \ surprise confronted the survey committee when it found abandoned furniture piled high in some of the classrooms and many desks in an- other part of the building had the appearance of having been dis mantled. This was characterized as downright waste" neglect" and ''carelessness" on the part of the school committee. The desks are e the type used in some other schools and are satisfactory, it was claimed.
 Builders on the committee agreed that plumbing. heating and lighting changes would be advisable and that some new flooring was needed. but they considered the building to be of unusually strong construction and capable of repair at a cost scarcely more than that of single new room.
 The Benjamin Franklin and the Israel Putnam buildings were vis- tied and were found to be filled close to capacity.
 Sacred Heart School Visited
 Although the Sacred Heart school, being . private institution. is not in- cluded in the survey planned, the building was inspected. The struc- ture and it's layout impressed the committeeman It was learned that the cost was about one-half that paid by the city for equal accom- modations. Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the church, who erected the building, was asked if he could account for the reported disparity between his building costs and those of the school board. and he answer cd: "Oh. the city has lots of money"

 IN CAMPAIGN NOW

 ,,.> east, and Smith has been . onlised both the west and the so'-th.
 .lany thousands turned out and c'lccred the republican nominee fin lis two-day swing into New Jersey where he preached republican pros perity and republican tariff Cheering crowds surged about his democratic opponent as he opened his campaign at Omaha with q pledge of farm relief, continued il at Oklahoma City with denuncia- tion of 'whispering" and religious intolerance. and moved on toward Denver, where he speaks tonight.
 Noteworthy Praise
 Some of the praise that heaped it. self on the two men came from noteworthy sources. After Smith had declared at Omaha for the prin- ciple of the McNary- -Haugen bill, without directly accepting the bill itself, Adam McMullen. the republi- can governor of Nebraska. was moved to say that the democratic nominee was showing an increasing understanding of the farm problem. John l.. Lewis. field marshal of the United Mine Workers, pronounced Hoover's Newark speech an evil dence of keen understanding of the problems of labor.
 Both Smith and Hoover were promised Wisconsin positively claimed heretofore by the democrats after the republican state conven- ton had voted down the LaFollette delegates and endorsed Hoover.
 Both Use Radio
 Over the radio. south and east and west have had opportunity during the week to further glimpse the per sonalities of the two nominees, and incidentally to judge between two vastly different methods of presiden- tial campaigning.
 Those who listened to Mir Hoo- ver's Newark speech Monday night heard the rounded phrases of a stu diously- prepared campaign utter ance, mastering statistics and eco- homie arguments in neat array. de- void of direct reference to the po litical opposition. and delivered in an even vein of unbroken serious ness.
 Those who tuned Tn on Governor Smith at Omaha just 24 hours later listened to an eXtemporaneous po- liticaI speech. Worded in convention al manner directly naming the re- publican nominee again and again, alternating between serious arsu- ment and laugh provoking satire. and reaching its climax in an out t-of- hand reply to set of questions asked in local newspaper.
 Hoover's method accords with the accepted fashion of modern presi- dential campaign addresses. Smith is an innovation. The supporters of each candidate expect him 10 gain by the contrast The certain part about it is that with the vastly broadened scope of radio hook-Tps. many more individual voters than ever before will he able to assess the relative qualities Of the two as pirants on the basis of personal observation.
