DESDLTOKY TALK. No Action On Greater New York opened, practically, enly to applicants of the first, or lowest, grade. About i 180 were admitted to this and this number has steadily increased. This number of applicants to one grade shows that the Board maie no mistake in opening a high school in this section of the city, and that increased accommodations must be immediately provided to meet the demands of the school. I The present building? while adapted in a measure for certain lines of won is absolutely "unfitted for other and equally necessary, work: There are nix opportunities for tie teaching of science, no assembly room, and, at most, accomodations for but 310 pupils.

It will, undoubtedly, be more than filled at the February promotions Judging from all the circumstances of the case and from the rate of applications already made, by the tame the present class finishes its four years' course, there should be provided accommodations for at least 1,500 pupils. i- "The character of the sitfljand the necessity of small yearly aprjipopriations, would seem to indicate that thetiroper de-velooment-of this property JroAid be in theerection of a series of smallr buildings, each to accommodate from 300 to 400 pupils.

106 are in almost equally bad condition but the former will be relieved by the school now in course of erection at Evergreen avenue and Moffat street, and the latter by, a large addition. A further recommendation with regard to school accommodations in the Twenty-eighth ward will be found toward the close of this list. i "3.

IATMAN SHOULD KNOW. Prof. Isaac Franklin Russell, D.C.L.. of the New York Unlversrjy Law School and of Brooklyn, gave last evening, at the Art Rooms in Montague street, trie secend of his course of lectures Ira the Brooklyn Institute's Department of the topic being "The Consideration of: Contracts." Prof. Russell's discussion, notable for the clearness and precision of Its statement bf the principles of law at the basis of statutes, and at the same time 'for Its freedom from purely echnical language, was in as I Consideration is the movlmg the quid pro quo, which gives the contract its binding force.

All contracts, must have consideration in theory of lw, although in many teases It seems to ezisr only as a creature bf the- imagination and a mere Inventiiom to satisfy, the requirements, tf a legal iule. For example, till the etftn-parati vely recent institution guarantee and. indemnity companies the, contract of suretyship was entered into, i as it 'doubtless is now in -the vast majority of cases, without 'actual pecuniary recompense to the bondsman. Purely voluntary conveyances contain a recital of a consideration of one dollar, lawful money of the United States, in hand the receipt whereof is duly acknowledged, though the money be never paid. Voluntary subscriptions are made to charitable enterprises, which th'fe law will sometimes enforcealthough no pecuniary profit result to the subscriber.

And, finally, we have the qase of gifts, whose distinguishing feature is the -absence of actual consideration. Gifts are transfers of personal property absolutely and without consideration, -either mortis causa or' inter vivos. Real estate cannot be-the subject" of such a gift, butycan only be tjranefeareil by written deed or grant, either acknowledged or witnessed. There is no limit to the value of the property that can be lawfully disposed of by gift. Of icourse, the donor must be in his right mind, and free from legal incapacity.

He must also be free frrt fraudulent influanses exercised in the interest of the donee; aiid also from any. guilty motive to defraud his creditors. Purely voluntary 'transfers- are void if made by insolvent, or ia contemplation of insolvency and in fraad of creditors. The gift must be accompanied by. delivery, i Words of future donation do not pass a present non is a gift of the donos promissory note ai valid transfer of the money mentioned fin the safd note.

What is a valid delivery, depends upon the) nature of thd personar property that Is subject to the gift.

The course as presented was adopted Mr: Bouck moved as a substitute to the rule which empowers tne K.lnaergarien Committee-to' nominate a supervisor of kindergartens and as many teachers for kindergarten work as the Board may from time to authorize to be appointed subject tohe appointment ot the committee on lechers, that the local' commlt- ees ot. tne variuuwt etchers from among those holding kin dergarten certificates.

He condemned a Board of -fifteen members, saying that it would make it a cea tralixed Board, not large enough to come Into touch 'with every home in Brooklyn, which should certainly he the case. It should be the object of the Board to brin' the parents into 'the school, and with only fifteen members, that would be Impossible. Mr. Chadwick said.

he was also totally opposed to the appointment of teachers by local committees; and submitted a set bf resolutions that the Borough Board be composed of forty-flve members- eaih one of Which shall have from three to five schools under his direction that the local committee be composed of one member t.o. act wish the principals and superintendent in the mtnagemnt of the schools, and that ihe Board appoint teachers on the recom mendation of Ihe superintendent.

Included in the $68,000 for repairs and furnishings, are $12,000 for Erasmus Hall High Schooli, $5,000 for sanitary improvements in old schools, and $5,000 to replace settees with desks, leaving only $46,000 for the work ordinarily included under that headinz.

It was three weeks ago that she first met young Huberman and his violin, and while the incident interested her and set her to thinking, it did not rVilly'accel-erate her habitually serene pulse till he appeared last' evenlngVon the scene again.

By this time there had gone abroad a Tolerably authoritative rumor to the effect that the young violinist was" not only, a precocious virtuoso, but veritable genius', and that conviction in Conjunction the Seldl orchestra, filled: the Academy of Music with a. large and enthusiastic gathering. The stage Was, as "usual on these occasions, a poem in itself, and from the outset there existed that peculiar atmosphere, that sense of anticipation and pleasure which marks a festal occasion. There seemed tobe a real "rapport 1 between performers and and result was obvious in excellent work on one side 'the footlights and vivid appreciation on the other. 'l Fresh from his triumphs in New Tork, Mr.

Seidl bore the lively greeting of 'his Brooklyn friends-calmly, i but wielded the baton: with no diminution of his' old-time skili and fervor. The programme was not Only interesting, btft 'symmetrical- a vast improvement on the "wopper-Jawed" affair of three weeks ago. Beginning with the lovely Lohengrin Prelude, whose airy Grail motive seems always-like a visit from the angels. It soon passed into that beautiful melody of the earth Chibiaba's Love Song. This charming number, full of rhythmical sweetness and spiritual longing, as well as the unique Wedding Marh, are from "Hiawatha's Wooing and Wedding," by, August Walj ther, a resident of Brooklyn.

They were novelties last summer at the 'Brighton Beach concerts, where their success was so pronounced aslo justify their retention in the orchestra's repertoire. ried's Rhine Journey" was given with thalr authority which accompanies Mr. Seidl' leadership of Wagner as 'surely as day- plight follows the sun, and the concert oiosea wita a fairly satisfactory interpretation I of Saint-Saens symphonic poem, The journey- of the adventurous youth was followed in: all its ramifications, from the ambling confidence at the outset, through the doubt, nervousness and chaos of the subsequent erratic course toward the earth, till Jove's thunderboldt hurls the luckless driver back to his proper sphere.

His bowing occasionally manifests a lack of expenience; his technique, while is not impossible' of attainment to ambitiousj and determined youth; but his tone is something that mature artists, and those who stand high in the world's esteem, must envy.

This rich, large, impassioned clang tint, far more than, the finger dexterity, and even more than the-bold and original phrasing, mark the power as God-given. The -impetuosity, and fire" of his playing, also" demonstrate the presence of gebius; mo lad of fourteen has lived long and enaugn to derive from actual experience; it is a spark from oShlgh guiding the chosen hand below.
