' Should Chief Mooney close the pub

might do if his orders regarding plac
ing fire escapes on the school buildings
are not complied with, the city of
Bridgeport will lose about $40,000 from
the state remuneration grant. The to
tal grant to Bridgeport is about $45,000
but there are three schools. Made-
wood, McKinley and ( Koeeuth, which
the Chief, has declared all properly-
equipped with Are proof halls, etc.
Some members of the Board of Edu
cation are of the opinion that the city
would lose part of theState remuner
ation fund in proportion to the num
ber of (schools closed, if the Chief takes
the action he has intimated he might.
The law gives the Chief power to con
demn schools not provided with Are
escapes , and says that such schools
when condemned shall not toe used for.
school purposes until the fire escapes
are provided. The statute also- pro
vides that in cities where the schools
are condemned they shall lose a. pro

Monday and consider estimates for
placing: fire escapes on public school
buildings. Under the law the fire chief
may condemn any school hot fitted
with fire escapes. A school so con
demned cannot be used for, school

David Ginand, agent of the board
has been inspecting all the schools
and will make a report on his findings

Ginand in his report calls attention to
section. 3 of the new law. Through
it toe thinks an arrangement can be
made with Chief Mooney whereby the
city will not be obliged to stand the
expense of adding the Are escapes to
the schools. The section of the law
reads as follows:
"The chief of the Are department, of
any city, town borough or fire district.
or, if there be no such .chief, the prin
cipal or superintendent of any school
with the approval of any agent of the
state board of education may exempt

SOFT WORDS OF
TEACHERS END
SCHOOL STRIKE
Score . of Upper Grade Young
sters Walk Out On 'tW
Board of Education.
"'Boys, You've Hurt Me!" Said
Their Principal, Heart Broken-Like
and the Strike Was
Over. - '
The great strike at Longfellow
school is over. The walking delegates
and pickets have been called, in and
the youthful seekers after knowledge
are once more grappling with the
Fourth Reader. There was a dramat
ic end to the big labor movement, too.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Mary Sta
pleton, principal of Longfellow school,
was walking back to her duties wish
she saw a crowd of 20 pupils, in the
street gathered about a young cheer
leader who was going through all ths
motions approved in the best 'varsity
circles. They were yelling, in unison?
"Longfellow, Longfellow,
Ice cream cones.
Whittier. Wo-tver
Boheheads, bones!"
Miss Stapleton paused to ask the
meaning of the outburst. A.fter some
questioning she learned that .the boys
were on strike. It seemed that when
the upper grades at Longfellow school
had been changed to Whittier almost
20 boys didn't like it because the new
school was far from their old haunts
and the Black Rock kids were a
unch of sissies anyway.
'Why, boys, I'm surprised," she
said. "To think you would do any
thing like that. " You were all such
model pupils and I always thought
you would act like little gentlemen."
During this lecture there was much
squirming," shuffling of feet and
sheepish grinning by the audience.
Roxey Rocco, the faithful cheer lead
er, held up his hand and said, "Fellers,
I always fall for . dis soft stuff. De
strike is off." Miss Grace Anderson,
principal of Whittier, contributed to
the soft stuff.
A little later a small delegation ar
rived late at Longfellow school and
the teacher asked them the reason.
"We was out helpin' the Whittiers
on strike," was the reply. "We ain't
no scabs."

erans as the- two former British chasn-l-i".-ns.
In order to win, Ou'niet was
obliged to play the best goif of the

the first 16 holes In 65 strokf.s and
made tiie seventeenth in a wonderful
three, Vardon, , ' his closest opponent,
broke u:rc cr the strain.

the turn for the (home holes, all three
having gor.e to the halfway mirk In
