N. T. a successful defense and exposition of the. Institute as, an original proposition. This year, however, a condition and not a theory confronted, and now that the experiment' has been partially tried, even under handicaps and disadvantage, cartful observation and competent judgment will be imperatively demanded to determine whether this feature shall be con-tinned and become a permanent part of the system.

If first impressions count for anything the drift of opinion among principals, assistants and senior teachers seems altogether favorable. The mingling and inter-mingling of schools and grades, a process al most completely denied in the routine of the year, except in official meetings of the associations or similar occasions, cannot but be of practical good, assuring interest and awakening friendships which will express themselves in better service. The Institutes, though, will Justify themselves in the larger sense and in the longer term and demonstrate their right to live far more by their enlargement of the teachers' vision and revelation of the true function and dignity of their calling, than by any strictly professional skill or pedagogical deftness which they may impart. For the first time the plain citizens who will next year, unless all signs fail, pay these teachers, and the servant is worthy his hire, something more than a million dollars a week, or expend that amount upon It Meets the Most Exacting Requirements of the Musical Home This beautiful little instrument zzs the demand for an inexpensive yet thoroughly artistic Grand Piano. The size is just right for a small room and yet the architecture is so impressive, the volume so great and the tone so rich, that it fills the requirements of the larger apartment.

The case of richly finished mahogany is of Colonial design. The Grand Piano is fast trrorin in popularity and we have the facilities to meet every desire of possession. This remarkable instrument changes the whole atmosphere of the home and any musician may be proud to own one. A small amount of cash and monthly payments made to suit your convenience will make its cost of $700 an easy matter to finance.

The finished product of the schools is lately and justly a good deal criticised. If the Institutes can point the way to a better understanding between the schools and the citizens and more particularly to better citizenship for the pupils, whose future and that of the city depends on what the schools now do for them, they will not have been in vain. A persistent effort is being put forth to substitute paper milk bottles for those of glass as more sanitary and less a nuisance when their days of usefulness are over.

The paper bottle would only be used once and thereafter would in most cases go into the fireTfor destruction. But a glass bottle when broken leaves fragments which cause much damage in the sum total. The question of cost is the determining one. The sanitary argument in favor of a non-refillable paper bottle is adequate, but it cannot be made for much less than a cent. While a glass bottle costs a trifle over four cents, its average life enables it to be useJ seventeen times, which reduces the cost to a lower figure.

But time will doubtless see the glass milk bottle dispensed with. HAMMOND ISSUES CALL FOB SEABUHY SPEAKERS Henry B. Hammond, chairman of the Speakers' Committee of the Samuel Seabury League, 3S9 Fulton street, issued a call for a meeting next "Wednesday night to volunteers as spellbinders for the local Seabury campaign at the headquarters.

I will then prove to the satisfaction of the people of this State that the Controller office has been handled In a businesslike way and to the advantage of the taxpayers. I not at this time answer any personal attacks upon me, because I consider them unworthy of my attention." Controller Travis, comparing the work of the present administration with that of the Democrats, said: "The administration of affairs of this State from 1311 to 1914 created such distrust that In 1915, by an overwhelming majority, the Republicans were elected.

BRIDGEHAMPTON, Sept. Charles Evans Hughes, ready to-night Wall street live on?" "Mostly lamb B. W. DUKE, Teachers' Institute la Brooklyn. The half-finished Teachers Institute experiment Illustrates "there's nothing new under the sun," which has the authority of time and sanction of inspiration.

Half a century and more ago, in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and possibly in other New England states, teachers of graded and "district' schools, for some of these primitive and thorough institutions still, survived, used to gather for mutual discussion and conference and instruction and counsel from the higher authorities and the officials of the state boards of education, supervisions fruitful alike of ambitions, competitions and friendships, which could not but have beneficent effect upon the actual business in hand of teaching the young idea how to shoot. Chicago, which has assimilated and aborbed more kinds, racially considered, of children than any other city and fused and advanced them toward definite Americanism, has adopted the Institute as she has other good things from the native land of much of her best blood and citizenship and reckons them the first week of the standard and normal school year. Infantile paralysis only half explains the Institute, which, this year, makes its metropolitan debut. Far more welcome, as it is more significant, is the other half of the truth that it declares and demonstrates a new power behind the educational throne, a reduction to definite and measurable terms of the "progressive" element of which we have heard long and sometimes rather too much. "Providence moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform," and when the unexpected and unprecedented actually happened; when by the Boards of Education and of Health dates for opening the schools were a fortnight apart, with a good chance of wider divergence, the man for the place was in it and solved the situation promptly and wisely, with the saving grace of common sense, with the sanction and co-operation of the supervising higher authorities.

Whatever may be the final judgment and outcome, the bridging of this unwelcome and unforeseen hia- tus, occupying time and attention of teachers which would otherwise have been fretted and frittered away, giving children freedom and fresh air instead of languid summer-end schoolrooms, and a general preparedness for the real work of the fall and winter, is a distinct triumph in administration which the citizens who furnish the pupils and foot the bills may well remember with gratitude. Of course, all the Institute's path has not been of roses nor all its sailing smooth. Many disappointments and some "kicks" were registered by the imperative order to report for duty, at the date fixed, despite the conditions of the public health; that attendance upon the lectures and exercises was to be as compulsory as any other days of the teaching year and that the record would count equally with that of any' other fortnight of the teachers' standing in the official records, aroused protests. Arrangements, programmes and all details were necessarily made under forced draught, with such material as might be available or might be impressed into the service, and it is only fair to those not of the teaching force or profession that their generous response and contribution to the work, whatever may be its intrinsic value, demonstrates the strength of the hold of the public schools on the citizenship and that no service to the city and state is given more cheerfully and generous ly. More appreciative and inspiring audiences have never been gathered, and no one could look in their faces without definite accession of pride and confidence in the schools of Brooklyn.

Another year, should the Institute, precedent of this, be continued, preparation will be earlier and more deliberate; processes and purposes more clearly defined, and the lessons of this year's experience, both as what to do and what not to do heeded. It is already reasonably apparent that one week would be better than two, but circumstances, this year, gave no option. With only half the time and twice or' three times as many centres in simultaneous operation, doubtless the final net result would be both more easily gained and more satisfactory. Another year, too, it might be worth while to extend the hospitality of the Institute to the citizen and taxpayer, that he may see and hear a little of what he gets for bit money. Schools and parks are about the only opportunity for the exercise of this duty and privilege.

Prisons and hospitals arc not attractive places of voluntary resort; fire, police and street cleaning, in operation, are not particularly pleasant to contemplate, but the sight of the public school, either in busy classrooms or massed in assembly, is both' wholesome and inspiriting, To the skeptic who wants to be "shown, who asks what is all this worth? it might be difficult to make PROGRESS ON OTHER LINES. St. Albans' Complaint Hearing Is Adjourned. The next contract for which bids will be sought by ths Public Service Commission will be for the construction of the I.lvonla avenue extension of the Kaatern I'arkway subway through Brownnvllle and East New Torlt. This will carry the Inter-borough route to the furthermost borders of Brooklyn in the Old Mill I section, as it reafh.es to New Lots avenue, formerly New Lota road, at "Warwick street, near the Vluecns line.

Perhaps the expensive bit of! subway work in the entire Lrual Sy- tern Is that about to be let under the Long Island depot at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues.

Another matter in which Brooklyn-ites have a direct interest is the contract for station-finish in the Tanal street connection, between the Manhattan Bridge and Broadway, avnd two more stations in the heart of Manhattan. at Twenty-third and Twenty-eighth streets on the Broad- way line.

The bids for the wonton the three stations range from $ny2S to $173,951, six contractors being desirous of doing the work, which must rw romnleted in six months.

IT. ISIS. SIXTEEN PAGES. Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Death of the President's Sister.

There is respectful sympathy for ths President of the United States from all citizens, as he undergoes the affliction of the loss of a beloved sister. The death of Sirs. Howe, at New London, yesterday, makes it necessary that the President suspend his attention to public" duties, so far as is possible, for a few days, until her funeral shall have been held in South Carolina. Mrs. Howe, like all the members Mr.

Wilson's family, was esteemed and respected for admirable personal qualities; like the others, also, she scrupulously refrained from intruding herself upon public attention by reason of relationship to the Nation's chief executive officer. We have in this country nothing resembling the court mourning of monarchies, but the American people always respect the griefs as well as the happiness of our Presidents in their family relationships, and count it a credit to the nation when his kinsmen and kinswomen are known as men and women of worth. A new designation of Brooklyn, which has been dubbed with many names, both as city and borough, has been coined by "The Louisville Courier-Journal," which characterizes it as the "Dormitory of Dreamland." To Build the New Central Library. After protracted delays and differences of view in regard to the work upon the foundations for the new Brooklyn Public Library, steps are finally under way to secure the erection upon the supports already put in of a portion of the great structure designed to crown the library system of this borough. Despite much opposition the site was selected for the edifice at Flat-bush, avenue and Eastern Parkway, 'but not on the northeast corner, where there could have been ample room secured for a suitable structure, but on the southeast corner, where the space is hampered by the proximity of the High Service Reservoir of the city waterworks.

If the putting in of the foundations had been delayed until the present it might have been possible to have secured the removal of the reservoir, as the new Catskill water supply should afford snfBcient pressure' without its use. The ground was broken for the foundation in June, 1912. But with the site agreed upon and foundations laid and paid for there has seemed to the authorities nothing to be done save to go on with the structure. Bids are therefore being sought for the first wing, toward the construction of which $210,000 has been appropriated by the Board of 'Estimate. The plans for the entire structure call for an expenditure between four and five millions of dollars and an erection somewhat similar to the New York Public Library on the Tilden-Astor-Lenox Foundation, on the site of the old reservoir at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street, Manhattan.

The portion of the Central Library Building about to be erected is expected to provide fireproof housing for many valuable books now at the Montagu Street branch 'library, which was formerly the Brooklyn library and was made a part of the public library system a few years ago. Stacks will be provided in the new structure for the books not in general circulation which can be sent from it to any branch where a citizen seeks to borrow them. It is not expected that a circulation department will form part of the Central Building for a number of years to come, or until the entire structure is completed. The new subways will make the new building readily ac cessible to the public. Putting something like 50,000 children of the larger cities in touch with the productive qualities of the back yard is one of the things which must be credited to Sam.

He did not do this directly, but the National Bureau of Education suggested the idea to school authorities of several municipalities, and as a result many back yards heretofore idle have been made to bloom in the past summer. This came about through the bureau's investigation of the liabits of school children in a certain Indiana city during their summer vacation. It learned that eifhty-five per cent, bad no occupation.

II Agreement as to irithdra-al of tbe American expedition from Meil-o and a plan of border patrol will undoubtedly be reached next week between the American and Mexican Commi- I sioners. according to all indications to-nlgrht. The Mexican Commlskrers hold no sympathy for plans that would poet-pone the withdrawal of Gen.

Pershing's forces, and the Americans, rec-opnlxlna; this, will direct their main attention to the subjects of withdrawal and patrol.

There Is a division of opinion about the wisdom of the recent strike action of Congress, but tt has proved, aside from the merits of the case, that Congress can give the maximum of action with the minimum of speech when it tries, which might be remembered for the future.

New England has had In the last week a better chance to get acquainted with Charles E. Hughes than ever before. Those who have seen him at close range have made up their minds pretty clearly as to ths sort of man ha La. They realize, first of all. that when he became President he would be the President, and that there would be no power behind the throne, and no secret springs of Influence.

He decides things for himself. He possesses a surprisingly wide range of Information about the people in the various localities. His mind Is keen and attractive. His memory is good. He has "personality." If he should be elected President he would fill the offices on an efficiency basis; he appears exceedingly Intolerant of lop-sided work and larguld services, and would not be likely to stand for them In publlo places.

This appears In all hia relations. Mr. Hughes is a good speaker. His voice Is particularly strong. His attitude is vigorous, without being emotional: his style Is one calcu OP CONFEDERATES, DEAD "Wilson luka.
