He also asked that Superintendent of Schools Kttlnger be requested to send out to all heads of departments and principals Instructions to use care to "limit all expenditures not only in administration but also In the appointment of teachers, the furnishing of supplies, textbooks, etc." He suggested that the Board prescribe that no branch of tha syutem exceed thin year the appropriation of last year without epecillc authorisation from the Board itself.

verv SDCcial. at. JJ Pres. Prall Recommends Radical Move to Effect Economy. Radical changes In the educational program of tho city's public schools to effect economy were suggested to the Board of Education at Its meeting yesterday by President Aiming S.

Prall. These included the proposition to put Into effect tho all-year plan of study, a seven-year course, the consolidation of classes and also tho possibility of holding up additional appointments of teachers. "L'nlesa we can be certain that the needs of the schools have been reduced to the lowest possible terms consistent with" efficient management nnd improved educational service," said Mr. Prall, "we cannot expect to sustain our budgets before the people of this city." The President suggested that the proposed survey of the system should again be considered and recommended that tho matter again be taken up I with tho Corporation Counsel as lo the ruling of the State CommiBeioner. Mr.

Prall asked that the proposition of consolidating small special classes1 nnd also the "relatively small num-1 ber of pupils to a teacher In the high i schools" be considered with a view I to reorganization. He also suggested that first-year studenta In high schools be consoli- dated with students In the ninth year; of the intermediate schools and the teachers be paid under the seventh, eighth and ninth year schedules. This i would not only reduce the number of I teachers, but also result in a saving In the matter of salaries. I Regarding the appointment of, touchers, Mr. Prall said: "The Hoard must proceed slowly' In approving further appointments of i teachers.

The plan of making bulk; appointmeuls of teachers on the ell-i gible Hats, aubject to assignment, should bo terminated. In Its place I the Board should require tho Board I of Superintendents to mako uppoint. ments only at the beginning or each, term and to submit with the list of. i appointments a statement of the In- 1 crease or decrease In budget charges resulting, if such appointments are confirmed: the reason for the sp-point ments, new positions, resignations, and the net increase or -decrease in the number of positions resulting from the proposed appointments." Mr. Prall said that only by absolute, control or' the appointment of teachers will It be possible for the Board to "keep currently Informed as Black c.

Albany, Jim. 13 Only KyuipaHij and faint plimnir-r of lioie fur lie distant future arc wen today by the wots around the Albany' ticpiflntnro in the now, of (tovprnor Miller to both HouffH last nilit rccomnu uding 1m-mrdlato and jtiliisent enforcement of the Federal dry law. The concluding comment of the Governor was: "Thr honest enforcement of the l.iw (Volstead Act) may lead to It? modification, while tolerated disobedience -n only breed disorder and create contempt fur all law." This paragraph tollowed a reference in which the Governor he realized the ilifticiilty of enforcinK low In a community where public opinion doet not support uch enforcement," and the read a little sympathy on the part of the Governor for the absolute aridity promised, but that is all. There is no weakening of the Governor's announced determination to enforce the law to the.

limit. In fact, he aero pan ied the niessHjre demand-int enforcement with a series of three bill to carry out the details. These wero introduced In the Senate by Senator Mullane of ltochester and in the Awmhly by Majority Leader Adler, who eairl he offered them In behalf of Chairman Gape of the excise committee. All the measures were dr ifted uii-the supervision of the Governor himself and represent his personal plans. fit-script Ions I.imiHM.

Tim bills, besides wiping out completely the excise, department and its former patrouapc, make a tew drastic hits at those who have been procuring; slight relief from the theoretical aridity via the prcscriptlou route. One provision says: "Not more than one pint of tpirit-tious liquor to bo taken Internally shall he prescribed or sold under a physician's prescription for use by the same, person within a period of 10 riaya. and no such liquor shall bo sold for external use until the same has been mad unfit for Internal use. No prescription shall be tilled more than onee." The three bills in brlof are these; First. Adding a new section to the civil rlphta law, providing for the recovery of damages suffered by reason of selling; or giving away of intoxicating liquor.

Second. Kepeatlns the liquor tax law in ila entirety and inserting a new article In the penal code defining Intoxicating liquor as alcohol, brandy beer, ale, wine und any spirituous liquor whether medicated, proprietary, patented or not, containing one-hslf of one percent or mure of alcohol by volume. Third. Adding a section to the criminal law making it the duty of public officers responsible for the enforcement of law, to enforce the dry law and to search for seizure and forfeiture intoxicating liquors kept for unlawful traftlc. Scandalous Corrupt! tu.

The Governor opened his message with the statement: "The open and notorious violation of the act passed by Congress to enforce the Klghteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution, the serious crimes and flacrant acts of corruption In connection therewith and the scandalous contempt for law engendered thereby require prompt mean-urea to promote law anil order, to restore, aa far as possible, respect for Jaw by compelling obedlcnco to law." Then he cited tha Supremo Court decisions which muke it Impossible for the State to modify the Volstead' Act. These, he said, make It neees-ssry to repeal tho present Walker Bill permitting J-5 beer and urged that tho Legislature go further and pass an enforcement measure. "Present conditions are Intolerable," he said. ''According to current reports the law not only is being openly arid flagrantly violated but has become the cause of the most scandalous corruption." Then In detailing his recommendations all covered by the bills presented -he said: "I lo not think a Plate department to enforce a law Is either necessary or expedient, and I recommend the repeal of the existing liquor tax law, which will necessarily abolish the L'x-else Department. Care should, of cours, be exercised In sueh repeal so thst its operation may be prospective only, rending proceeding and prosecutions might well be committed to the Attorney General.

"A the manufacture and sale for certain purposes is not unlawful, it insy be an aid to enforcement to have tertltieates therefor issued by borne fitata agency upon tho payment of a fee sufllelent to pay the cost thereof and upon giving fin undertaking to comply with the law with suMVIcnt penalty to assure compliance. That might well be committed to a bureau In the Htate Tax liepartment. Trovlslolii for Selture. "The law should detlne the pro-hlbited sets In as simple and concise language as possible, conformable to the Klghteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. I'ennltiiM for a viulatinn of the wt should correspond with thos prescribed bv the VoUterid Act.

ajid I a prosecution under the latter set should bar one under the rotate, act, There should be provision for seizure and irfeiturc of liquor Illegally possessed as well as for prosecution of offendeis. "I think that suitable enforcement provisions should be incorporated In the penal law and code of criminal procedure and that the enforcement of the law should be confined to peace officers and prosecuting altor-peys, as in the case with other laws. That will at make it possible for law-abiding communities to prevent the flagrunt violations of law now occurring in their midst. It should make It poMble to prevent flagrant and open vlola'lons of law anywhere. I am not unmindful of the tact that It Is difficult to enforce smh a law In any community when, public opinion does not support Midi i nforce-ment, but we lmvr.

nothing to do with the policy or the wisdom of the law. Thst has been determlii'd in the manner provided by the Constitution, and we who nri worn to support the. Constitution must take it as we ft ml It. "I urge the speedy pnsnaee of an effective enforcement aft conforma-ble to the act of t'oiiirress on ihe aubject."

Grenfcll described tha work of Ills Labrador Mission last night to an audience which packed the Opera Hoiide of the Academy of Music from pit to roof. The doctor is in this country delivering a terles of lectures to raise funds for the perpetuation of his work which has meant so much to the Inhabitants of the bhaK northern lnnd, and his tulk was illustrated with lantern slides. His nalstant. Dr. Padden, followed with an exposition of tr.ovlng pictures showing the activities of the mission, the xort of people the niuslon la helping nnd the hospital buildings.

Many pictures of iceberg were shown. Dr. Grcnfcll's mission began amoiij the deep sea fishermen of the North Sea and ho established a mission among tho fishermen of Labrador. JIa said last night that tlio only cure-all for the ilia of tho world is the of love carried out in practise, and when ho found me opportunity he went Into this bleak land, cured the. blek, made the lame w.ill; and taught tho lesflon of service, in ihe spirit the Master.

It was in 1.SH2 that he decided lo cast his lot among Ihj fishermen of Labrador. Now there are hospital buildings, a Seaman's Institute, a co-operative lumber mill nnd a co-operative, store. The transformation In the lifo the Laoradar people la miraculous. When Dr. Grcenfell reached lab-rador he found the tlshermen In poverty.

Unscrupulous traders gave little or nothing for the fish which are the mainstay of the Inhabitants, while the same traders charged exorbitant prices for food. Even today the tlshermen have to pay high prices for their materials and soil the fish for next to nothing. A co-operative store was established where the necessities of life could he obtained at a nominal price, but il met with vigorous opposition. Some of the pictures showed the rich resources in timber on the peninsula and the grim beauty of the coast and emphasized the fact that tho region la lying ready for development. Envelopes were parsed among the audience for contributions und quite a Sinn was realized.
