Clarence Colt Meleney, the son of Associate Superintendent Meleney of this borough, took second prize in the speaking competition at Dartmouth College on Saturday evening. There were two sets of contests, the Barge Gold Medal and Class of '66 prizes. Mr. Meleney was in latter. His subject waB "The Call of the Rural Community." In this contest Arthur Kenney Lowell of Reading, won the first prize, with "A Memorial to Lee in the Federal Capitol," The Barge medal was won by Burt Randall Cooper of Northwood, N.

with "The Newer Patriotism." Kenneth Francis Clark of this borough was one of the competitors. His subject was "The Call of the City." BOYS TO BE GUESTS OF STATE. One Hundred to Be Given Opportunity to Visit State Fair. One hundred boys between the ages of 16 and 19 years, who are Interested in agriculture are to attend the State Fair at Syracuse, September 11 to 16, at the expense of the state. R.

A. Pearson and C. A. Wletlng, the committee of the State Fair Commission having the matter in charge, give as the reason for this Innovation that it Is "to make the benefits of the State Fair more widely known, to assist In extending the educational value of the fair to farms of the state, and to stimulate a greater interest In Improved agriculture." In the allotment the countlee of New York, Kings, Queens and Richmond are to have th privilege of selecting one boy and one alternate, while the big agricultural counties of Chautauqua, Oneida, Oswego and Steuben are allowed three and St. Lawrence four boys.

Boys desiring to avail themselves of the privilege of this trip at the state's expense must, between July 1 and 14, forward their names to the person designated to receive them In each county, and a duplicate to Stanton C. Shaver, secretary of the State Fair, at Syracuse. The following superintendents have been delegated to receive the names In Greater New York: For New York County, Dr. Edward L. Stevens, Department of Education, Park avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Manhattan; for Richmond County, Dr.

John H. Haaren, same address; for Brooklyn, Dr. John H. Walsh, 131 Livingston street, Brooklyn; tor Queens, C. E.

Franklin, Public School No. 89, Elmhurst, L. I. TWO HIGH SCHOOLS AT TOP B.H.S. Won Twelve and G.H.S.

Won Eight of the State Scholarships. Kings County gets a state Cornell scholarship for each one of Its Assembly districts, twenty-three in all, and Manhattan, with a much smaller high school register, gets one for each of Its Assembly districts, thirty-five In all. Months before the time to line up for Regents the eyes of hundreds of boys and girls are fixed on these scholastic prizes and the race to capture them begins. The State Commissioner of Education announced the winners of these scholarships late last week. Twenty of the twenty-three went to two schools the Boys High, twelve, and the Girls High, eight.

While the latter school seems to have come out Becond best, it in reality is not so, because all the girls who won came from the Nostrand avenue school, making it a 100 per cent, winner, and In addition to this it will be noted that the three highest In standing are three girls, the Misses Grace F. Marcus, Charlotte H. Peckary and Ruth Dar-villt. Added comment on these three girls shows that Miss Marcus, who stands at the head of the list with the highest per proves to be a better scholar than her brother, Lazarus Marcus, a member of the June class at Boys High School, who fell short of getting one of the scholarships. Another point of in terest in the three high liners Is that Miss Darville is the third member of the family to win a Cornell scholarship, her two sisters also being graduates from the Girls High School.

Another of the eight girls, Esther Eva Walzer, Is the fifth member of tho family to win school honor. Three of the five are girls, and they all received their education at Girls High. The other girls are Clara A. Graffe, Lila Virginia Stevenson, Katherine W. Glendennlng and Ruby Frisch.

Miss Gleu- dennlng wrote and read class history yesterday at the class-day exercises; Miss Stevenson was chairman of the class- day committee; Miss Darville took part In the class history, and Miss Graffe composed and read the class prophecy, which shows the standing that these scholars have with their class. Dr. Sullivan was elated over the stand ing of his school in the contest, in which he won more than half the scholarships, twelve out of the twenty-three, and seven of the number were the highest la the list of the boy winners. The fellows winning were Adlai Stevenson Cable, William Grafman, Walter George Zorn, Sid ney A. Stahlschmidt, Julius Kaufman, Leo Blog, Jules G.

Proctor, Gilbert Levy, Joseph J. Tanzola, Jacob M. Goldfarb, Charles Ragovln and Meyer Drechler. SCHOLABSHIPS WON. As a result of the examinations on Saturday at Brooklyn College, conducted by the Jesuit Fathers.

PERRY No Grade of School People Contribute More to Efficiency of Schools. POSITION WOULD BE REDUCED By Creation of Office of "Head Teacher," Who Would Sup-i plant Them. The men In the Brooklyn school system, and those who have Intimate relations with the schools, feel very keenly about the proposed "demotion" of the heads of department. Although Judge Frelfeld Is no longer In the Board of Education, he has not lost his Interest In the welfare of the schools. When be learned the Import.

of the proposed partment and "head-teachers," he wrota to Dr. Arthur C. Perry, principal of Public School No. 85, of whose views respecting school management Judga Frelfeld has a high opinion, Dr. Perry stated his views in no uncertain terms.

The Eagle has been favored with a copy of Dr. Perry's letter, which Is as follows: My Dear Judge Frelfeld: I have your kind favor of the twentieth, and note what you say about the proposed changed In school organization, especially the creation of a new position to be called a "head-teacher." 1 think that you and I are agreed as to the Invalidity of thd whole "equal-pay" proposition. To me It seems that such absurdities as this of "head-teacher" are but the corollaries following the attempt to put Into effect a fundamental falsity. As to the merits of this particular proposition as to head-teacher, In so far as It Is possible to detach It from the salary scheme, there would seem little room for difference of opinion. It I understand it aright, it Is indefensible on the following grounds: 1.

It places in a supervisory position a teacher who at the same time is responsible for the work of a class and must spend four-fifths of his time In class teaching. The whole trend of school administration is to free supervisors from class-room work, that their attention may be concentrated upon executive problems. 2. It makes the ranking officer of a school, in the absence of the principal, a person whose major time and energy must go into class teaching and whose place is primarily in the class-room. 3.

It prevents the application of a fundamental principle In administration, namely, that executive positions should be "understudied." A principal should have as his highest ranking cubordlnate one who can be trained in the work of the principal. This training can be given effectively to a head of department as it could not be given to a class teacher. 4. It seems to reduce In rank the present Incumbents of the head of department position. This would be both unfortunate for the schools and an unjustifiable reflection upon the heads of departments: (a) It would be unfortunate In that It would impair esprit de corps and hamper administration.

Flexibility of administrative organization Is necessary to maximal efficiency. Our heads of department are now assignable to any of the work of the principal which he may choose to delegate to her. Under the proposed scheme the usefulness of these trained women would be limited, to the loss of the schools. (b) My experience and observation lead me to say that there is no grade of school people whose members contribute more highly to the efficiency of our schools than do the heads of department. It has been my pleasure to have, from time to time, six heads of department, and their value to the school has been beyond measure.

My own experience, I know, is but that of the great majority of principals. Any attempt to depreciate the services of the heads of department, or to reduce their rank, ought to fall of its own weight. Very truly yours, A. C. PERRY, Jt Public School No.

86. CLASS DAY AT G. H. S. Some Members of B.

H. S. Senior Class Were Present, Too. Class day at Girls High School was observed in the auditorium yesterday afternoon. The auditorium was entirely filled with a frolicsome audience, including a sprinkling of members of the senior class from the Boys High School.

The usual programme for such occasions was carried out with variations as to name and the way in which the thlngB were done. The class history was called the "Class Autobiography." Four glrla were "receiving" and those who cam to the reception were the of "long ago," 1911. As they came into the room one or two at a time, the stress and wear of time were Indicated in thai! dresB and opinions, ranging all the way from "vote for women" to a very muoa "evlved" harem skirt. The prophecy made lots of fun and Miss Marion Schwab made a hit in the address of welcome. The class autobiography was written by Katherine W.

Clendinnlng, Ruth Darville, Marjorie E. Taft and read by Katherine W. Clendinnlng. The class prophecy was delivered by Clara Graeffe, and the award of prizes by Lila V. Stevenson.

The officers were: President, Marlon F. Schwab; vice president, Elizabeth T. Conroy; secretary, Mildred Watt; treasurer, Marie Beirne; class day committee, Lila V. Stevenson, chairman; Mabel V. Reed, Edith Isles.

Class of 180 Boys and Girls Receives Diplomas From Dr. Larkins. ADDRESS BY FORMER TEACHER Mrs. Allan, Now Bean of Leland Stanford University Some Good Music. One of the prettleBt graduation scene In the history of Manual was that ol last night.

The big auditorium was filled to the limit by old students, parents and friends of the graduates and, as the large class, 180 strong, marched and countermarched in taking their seats, the girls gowned In white and carrying a large bouquet of American Beauty roses and the boys In soldierly step bringing up the rear, all In a setting American flags, with which the auditorium was lavishly and beautifully decorated. It made a picture long to be remembered. The stage was banked with flowers and that added to the beauty lines. Under the direction of Professor Yer-bury, the big orchestra played the marcn from "Lohengrin" very effectively. For some moments the large audience gave itself up to applause of the girls and boys who were going through their last act In the high school drama.

Dr. Larkins occupied the principal's chair; on hlB left sat the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Mansfield Allan, up to four years ago, assistant principal of the school and now dean of the women's department of Leland Stanford University, California, who had come on for the commencement. On the right was Associate Superintendent of Schools Edward B. Shallow, who was to present the diplomas.

Dr. Larkins, In Introducing the speaker, referred to her as a teacher very much missed at Manual and a college dean highly prized. Mrs. Allan made a very brief address, but one that has seldom been equaled in effect on that platform from which many a noted man had spoken. She said that she had simply returned home to addresB the boys and girls, and It was her wish that they might regard her words as If they were spoken in the seclusion of some class room with no one present but themselves.

She came as their teacher and It was her plan to tell them what they were as seen by her. Their Education Unfinished, Says Mrs. Allan. "You must not consider your education finished," she said. "Dr.

Larkins, with tho clear vision of the educated man and woman, always taught you that education rather than being finished In the high school had but just begun and could only end with life. Some of you will to college and to other places of learning to pursue your studies under other highly specialized teachers; and still others will go into business associations, where their higher education must be supervised by yourselves. It is to you of the latter class that I would speak to-night. "It is your privilege to he the guide to the masses; in citizenship, you are to be the representative men and women. The average educated citizenship in America Is limited to the sixth grade in the grammer schools; and that shows the favored high school graduate his responsibilities as the leader.

It is true, as you may remind me, that It is the college man who is the leader in citizenship, but he simply leads you, not the masses, with whom he does not come In touch, and it is you in the business walks of life with a worthy education behind you who set the standards of our American life. You are the saving clement. "Education gives you your opportunity. A 'chance' is said to come to everyone. and opportunity is your chance.

I know that I am right when I tell you that New York City does not offer you the best opportunity. It is the representative city of the country, but there are big people here and. few of them were born here. They are the choice men and women who succeeded in the fields In which they started as young men and women. New York is the magnet that attracts only the great.

This handicaps the young man starting out in life. Other parts of the country are calling you. Anywhere where the American flag waves is your field of labor. The Future Has Its Problems. "There are no more frontiers in America.

The future has Its problems and thi are national problems, and you cannot go throughout the length and breadth of the land where they are not pressing the leaders for solution. The great questions of conservation, international peace, status of labor, where the white slavery of the millions is more distressing than black slavery ever was. You must be the advocate of these high alms of citizenship. The opportunities that await you are greater than ever before pressed for solution. You must stand for honesty and virtue, you must head the reforms.

"Do not disappoint the hope of your friends nor the faith of your parents. The life that I have suggested is the most abundant life possible in an age and in a country where the tide of life Is widest and most full of promise." Mr. Shallow had a word to say on the cost of a boy and girl to the city and to the parent. In the eighteen years, the average age of the high school graduate, this he figured had a total for board, clothes, incidentals and schooling of J4.004. Dt.

Larkln bade the class good-by. He rtmlnded it that the doots of the school were ever open to all Its members. He parted with each succeeding class as he parted with children that might be leaving his home. The blessing of the school would follow each graduate. Gold medals were awarded Duncan Campbell and Miss Jessie White for the best literary productions of the class.

Campbell's contribution was an essay on Abraham Lincoln and Miss White's was a story, entitled "The Pink Luster Set." Harriet Engel, a graduate, won applause for a fine rendering of the "Sonata Pathetique," by Beethoven, and George F. Rleman was called back for another violin solo after playing "Mazurka de Contert," by Musin. The pro gramme came to an end with the "Mini on 1 March," Phelps, under the direction I of Professor Yerbury. i The class adjourned to the "gym," I where a reception and dance rounded off the interesting commencement exercises of June. 1911.

Surrounded by trophies, decorated with gold medals and the captain laden with gifts sent from Erasmus Hall by Dr. W. B. Gunnison, the members of the winning team stood on the platform after the diplomas had been distributed and modestly received the plaudits of their admirers. The tremendous ovation accorded the ball team and especially to the instructor, Alfred H.

Worts, A.M., to whom a silver loving cup was pre sented, caused the exercises of the even ing to conclude with shouts, applause ana rousing cheers. The large assembly room would not accommodate the many who wished to be present. There were seventy gradu ates, among them being Miss Mildred Steers, daughter of Borough President Steers, and Miss Anna Rounds, adopted daughter of Frank W. Meyer. Commis sioner of Education.

In the absence of the principal, Frederic L. Luqueer, Ph.D., MIbs Amy J. Miller again presided. Commissioner Meyer presented the diplomas to the graduates, and also spoke in behalf of the city when the handsome bronze figures, known as the Spalding Trophy, were presented to the baseball team. Hugh Aikman, member of the executive committee of the Glenwood Road School Athletic Association, was spokesman when the McCarron shield trophy was presented for the borough.

Mrs. Ella A. Boole, Ph.D., was the speaker of the evening. On the platform were, also, Mrs. Steers, wife of the bor ough president; Louise E.

Castle, princl pal of No. 32; Mrs. Alice RItter, principal 0' No. 89; Mrs. R.

L. Jones, president of the Parents Association; William L. Kllborn, president of the Flatbusb Grammar School Athletic League, who presented the ball team with the sliver loving cup, bo recently won, and Ferdl nand G. Long, who precipitated the closing demonstration in honor of Mr. Worts by the presentation to him of a silver cup from the parents and citizens of Flatbush in token of their apprecia tion of his untiring efforts to bring the athletics of the Glenwood school to their present standard.

With cheers and cries for a speech, the degree announced as B.B.D., doctor of baseball, waB conferred upoon the instructor, who was escorted in triumph to the platform and ornamented with one of the gold medals which Commissioner Meyer presented In behalf of the city to each of the members of the team. F. V. Austin, whose daughter was a member of tho graduating class, provided the palms, and E. A.

Nessler, whose daughter delivered the salutatory address, presented the attractive programmes. One of the surprises of the evening were the gifts from Dr. W. B. Gunnison to the captain of the champion ball team.

A handsome book and a large bouquet, together with a note, had been received at the school earlier in the day, but had been kept by Miss Miller as a surprise for the captain at the evening entertainment. When the name of Captain James B. Olson was called, the young graduate stepped forward and received the following note from the principal of Erasmus High School. It read: "Will the champions of No. 152 accept the hearty congratulations of Erasmus Hall High School for their notable success.

To lead Brooklyn Is a great thing, but to lead the greater city makes It an event W. B. Gunnison." With the note the flowers and book were presented by Miss -Miller. On the fly leaf of the latter was written, "To the Captain of the Champion Team of Greater New York, from Erasmus High School, June 23, 1911." The baeeball team so greatly honored Included: Alfred H. Worts, A.M., teacher; James B.

Olson, captain and short stop; George L. Pennington, pitcher; Albert DeVeau, catcher; Louis C. Sand ers, first base; Clarence F. Sachse, second base; Frank T. Short, third base; Will-lam J.

Sheehan, left field; Raymond T. Sheffler, center field; James J. Healy, right field; Frederick Edgars and T. Her bert Glenn. HERE IS A GREAT RECORD.

Is There Another School in Brooklyn That Can Beat Itf Here 1b a record that is hard to beet. Twenty-one boys of the graduating class of P. S. No. 44, Throop and Putnam avenues, had A in proficiency and had A in deportment every month during the term.

Twelve of them were present every day. Besides tie twenty-seven, twenty-one had plus In proficiency. In other words, forty-two boys out of fifty-seven are honor pupils in proficiency. The girls also make a good showing. Fourteen had A In proficiency and tvn- ty-five made plus, making a total of thirty-nine out of fifty-seven.

Of this number forty-one were A In deportment every month during the term, and sixteen were present every day. Martha Ohlsen has been neither absent nor tardy during her entire eight years in school. There are fifty-seven boys and an equal number of girls In the class, a total of 114. Of this number eighty-one are either A or plus In proficiency, or 71 per cent, of the class. "Do you blame us for being proud of them?" asks Dr.

Thomas O. Baker. The school editor doesn't. It Is a record which should inspire all subsequent classes, and ought to be inscribed on the walls of the classrooms. ERASMUS MOTOR CLUB.

and girls drop quietly out of their classes before commencement day and sacrifice their diplomas because their parents cannot afford the dresa worn by the other pupils at the exercises. A superintendent in Illinois, In a recent report, said: "Too often our high school commencement exercises are robbed of all their true significance and dwindle into a mockery a cheap peacock parade." This sharp comment was made after he had received reports from twenty-five graduates of the largest high schools In the country, showing that the boys spent on an average for clothes and invitations $35.40 and the girls (58.18. The state superintendent of Illinois says that the brightest and most ambitious girl in one high school feigned ill health and dropped out because her father could not afford money for the dlBplay connected with graduation. The dress becomes more costly each year. Collier Weekly.

A representative of The Eagle set about getting at the facts as to Brooklyn schools and gleaned information of real Interest, which indicates that whatever foolishness and extravagance may have free rein In the Western country, thing) are diuerent Here. One of the most representative schools of the city is the Girls High School, in which over three thousand pupllB are housed, and which, by reason of its high scholastic standing, age and locality, draws students from some of the best Brooklyn families. The very large number of girls from this school who go to higher places of learning testify to the ability of their parents to buy expensive clothing, if they were minded that way. The Eagle man found Dr. Felter, the school principal, in the auditorium of the school, and put the question to him.

"Is It so, that your girls wear $58.18 gowns at commencement?" "Let us settle this matter right here," replied the principal. It happened that the graduating class, some one hundred and eighty girls, was seated in the auditorium at the time. Dr. Felter called them to attention, and asked how many were making their own dresses. About twenty hands went up in response.

He then asked all those who knew that their gowns would cost less than $25 to hold up their bands. When the amount was mentioned by the principal a wave of "Oh's" rippled over the group of girls, accompanied by suppressed laughter, which plainly said that even that amount was considered excessive. Every hand of the one hundred and eighty girls was raised. "That settles it, I guess," commented Dr. Felter.

"If I had put the figure at $16, most of the girls, if not all of them, would have answered the same." Early In the term, he continued, the class held a meeting to consider thiB very matter and the following resolutions were passed: 1. The decoration will be limited to the platform. (A committee was appointed to take the matter of decoration up with Dr. Felter.) 2. Everyone should carry flowers.

Felter to Bay that this democracy at commencement is in lino with the entire trend of things in his school, and nowhere is it more shown than at this, one of the moet Important occasions in the life of young people. The Eagle man went to the Boys High School. A group of boys was lolling on iha entrance steps. "How many of you fellows are going to wear suits that cost your parents $35.40," he asked after he had learned that they were seniors. A smile wont the rounds and one bright fellow replied: "Not for me, I may wear the togs I have on, and they have done good service, already.

We had a meeting of the class, and it was voted that every fellow might wear what he pleases. Some of the fellows will wear tuxedos, and others will buy suits that are seasonable at this time of year. I tell you there are mighty few. boys here who pay $35.40 for a suit of clothes. Gee! I'd feel as if 1 were going to the coronation if I had a suit that cost thirty-five bucks." Dr.

Sullivan was asked what he thought of the claim that boys and girls do not attend commencement exercises because of expense. "I am not surprised that the story comes from the Middle West," he replied, with vigor. I had to come Last to find people who had the courage to say that they could not afford a thing. Out there it is considered a disgrace to be poor. If anyone is so foolish as to remain away from oirr graduating exercises, it is his own fault.

All honor to the boy who has backbone and the sense to know in practice that it 1b not clothes that make the man." At the Manual Training High School, Dr. Larkins said that he had noticed that some, of his pupils remained away from the commencements. "I do not know how much clothes to do with this," he commented, "but 1 think that it may have something to do. Any simple white dress, however, is all that is required, and set off by a bouquet of flowers the slir.pler, the prettier. I have tried to get the school! authorities to lt me have the girls wenri the scholastic cap and gown, worn in all the private schools.

If this could be brought about, it would solve the ex pense matter, as caps and gowns could i be hired for the occasion for about i $1.50 a set, and It should be an expense to be borne by the city." He was asked if it would not be practical for the G. O. to buy material for these gowns and get together a sewing bee among the girls, in their manual class work, and make them, so that they would be the permanent property of the school. The reply was that this might dj acme. 1 Brooklyn have found a new use for Dreamland.

They decided yesterday to erect a suffrage tent on the ruins of the big playpxound. on some spot near Surf avenue. The tent will probably be opened on Saturday. It will be decked with party banners end cartoons and quotations from prominent sympathizers with the cause, and within suffrage speeches will be delivered and suffrage literature distributed to such of the Coney Island crowds as have the courage to enter. Th opening of the tent will mark the beginning of the Woman Suffrage Party's summer work at Coney Island.

It will bo in charge of the public demonstration committee, assisted by Mrs. Grace Wolterbeek. leader of the Sixteenth Assembly District, and a number of other members of the Brooklyn branch of the pwt. i.
