Wells and Frances A. Wheeler. Physical Education in Country. This summer, for the in the history of New York University, teachers of physical education are offered an opportunity to study their vocation in the country. At Highland, Ulster County, New York, op the shores of Chodikee Lake in the Chemung range of the Catskill Mountains, both men and women students will have an opportunity to work and play, study and recreation, at the summer session of the department of physical education of New York University.

In transferring this department from New York City to the Raymond Riordan School estate at Highland, the University is enabled to widen its field for outdoor courses and to offer to students greater facilities for training in athletics and other healthful activities. The school property covers an area of 300, including farm and timber land, baseball, hockey and athletic fields, and a number of tennis courts. Lewis Heads Welfare League. The annual meeting of the Teachers' Welfare League was held in the auditorium of the Pacific Library yesterday afternoon. The new salary conditions were discussed and explained, and the attitude on equal pay of the various legislators and political leaders was commented upon.

The conclusion was reached that the real equal pay finally achieved was due largely to the firm stand of the Teachers' Welfare League leaders. The dissatisfaction felt by many teachers at the results of the last examination for assistant to principal was definitely brought forward, and a committee was authorized to look into the matter and suggest relief measures. Miss Clara C. Calkins told of committee headed Mrs. Holdridge which was seeking funds to send to little children of Paris, doubly orphaned by the war to some seashore resort where they might escape the hot Paris summer.

A substantial sum was contributed. The teachers were unanimous in expressing their gratitude and appreciation for the work Miss Calkins, F. Z. Lewis and others had done to secure equal pay. It was voted to hold an equal pay jubilee luncheon probably on 1 June 14, at a place to be announced later.

The present officers were unanimously re-elected. They are: Frederick Z. Lewis, president; Mrs. Mabel L. Rees, vice president; Josephine Claudius, recording secretary; Lillian A.

Hatch, corresponding secretary; Gertrude Endemann, treasurer, and Grace O. Finnegan, assistant treasurer. The work for the coming year was briefly outlined by the president. May Arbitrate Mandel-Gray Contest. It was learned today that steps have been taken to arbitrate the difficulties that have arisen in the Men Teachers and Principals' Associations instead of permitting them to get into the courts.

Ambrose Cort, principal of P. S. No. 73, is behind the movement. Edward Mandel, who withdrew from last Saturday's meeting after declaring it adjourned, will not yet concede the legality of Nomer Gray's election to the presidency, and has announced that he will call another meeting of the association.

It is likely, however, that all hands will agree not only to submit the election, but any other matters that may come up, to a board of arbitration, Dr. Baker at Training School. District Superintendent Thomas C. Baker of Richmond, formerly principal of Public School No. 44, this borough, addressed the students of the Brooklyn Training School for Teachers at the weekly assembly yesterday.

He laid stress on the fact that it was the teacher who laid the foundation for the great men of the United States. Miss Emma L. Johnston, the principal, announced that the theory department and the model school had given $305.63 to Salvation Army. The weekly current events talks during the noon hour were given yesterday students the first term. Miss Clara Barb spoke on the immigrant and Miss Gaynor on the part that dumb animals played in the war.

Dr. E. W. Van Aiken has charge of these talks. MICHAEL DONLIN, 42 years old, of 629 Grand an automobile driver for the Standard Oil Company, In Queens Borough, died on Tuesday of heart Mr.

Meagher. A feature of the dinner was the guest seated. table, where not a man was The speakers named upon the program were Mrs. William H. Good, Miss Mae Patterson and Miss Margaret Winslow, but Miss Stephenson called upon a few of the many prominent men present to add their tribut to said Mrs.

Mrs. Meagher. John H. McCooey Meagher was "an ideal woman in politics," adding that all his women leaders were ideal. "I hope the example of this district will be followed by every district in Kings." Borough President Riegelmann waxed eloquent over the "bevy of beauty at the guest table" and added: "As we go on for twenty-two more of these dinners I want to stay in the ring until the last chicken is killed.

I felt complimented to have a woman from my office, whom I appointed, invited to be toastmaster. It sets the seal of approval upon my choice." Mrs. Good, Miss Patterson and Miss Winslow contented themselves with personal tributes to Mrs. Meagher, Miss Patterson making a. speech of just one minute in which she presented large bouquet of pink roses to the guest of honor.

Miss Winslow said she first thought of many subjects suitable for such an occasion, but discarded them all.

Heretofore they have not been paid for Saturdays, holidays, or during the vacation periods.

From now on they will have the same vacations as teachers and have the same number or days off. When the matter was brought up Mr. Somers said that a report had been circulated that he had been responsible for the elimination of salary schedules for teacher- -clerks from the salary bill just passed at Albany. He declared that the matter had even been brought up at a meeting of the teacher-clerks. Mr.

Somers stated that the assertion does was a malicious false- hood and reflection on him personally. The Board passed a resolution backing him up in his statement. A vote of thanks was extended to the Teachers Council for its interest in the school system, as shown by its action in adopting the resolutions opposing the employment of Socialists as teachers. A delegation from Staten Island attended the meeting as a compliment to President Prall, a resident of Richmond. who was presiding at his first stated meeting of the Board.

If the Brooklyn Borough Gas pany should go to the wall, as its chief counsel publicly stated it would unless permitted to charge more than the statutory rate for gas, the city will decline to take over the plant and run it for the benefit of the consumers.

That is the opinion of Public Service Commissioner Lewis Nixon, which he expressed when asked today what his attitude would be in the event of the company making good its threat to suspend operation. "I would not accept the plant af the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company as a gift," he said decisively. "If the company cannot produce gas profitably at the eighty-cent rate, there is no hope of the city being able to do 80. Who would pay the loss? The axpayers, of course. No, I am not in favor of the city assuming charge of a gas plant which, according to testimony submitted to this Commission, IS a losing venture.

the other day I had a street railway DE Mr. Nixon went on, "only offered to me--an important onepractically as a gift if the city would undertake the operation of the line, but I declined the offer without a moment's hesitation. That road is losing money, and so would the city be losing money if it assumed charge of the line, unless it charged a higher rute of "But what about the consumers of gas in the Thirty -first and Thirty-second Wards, if the Borough Gas Company goes under? Will not the city be obliged to take care of them Commissioner Nixon was asked. "I take it for granted," he replied, "that when the company finds it cannot continue operation under the rate it is at present allowed to charge it will apply to the court for the ap'pointment of a receiver. The receiver, us you know, can issue certificates of indebtedness which are a first lien on the company's property.

On this security he can borrow money enough to tide the company over its financial difficulties. As far as I can see, the city can't do anything in the matter." In about two weeks the Appellate Division is to give a decision in the Brooklyn Borough gas rate case that will somewhat clarify this complicated affair. The court will give an opinion as to whether or not the dollar rate fixed by the old law of 1906 is still a limitation upon the company's charges, and it will also be determined just what the Public Service Commission's jurisdiction is. in he case where the Supreme Court has found that the rate fixed by the Legislature is invalid. These points, according to Godfrey Goldmark, chief counsel to the Commission, are of the greatest public mportance because the question of the Commission's power will arise in ill of the actions brought by gas companies in Greater New York, includng the Brooklyn Union.

Mr. Goldmark holds that if the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company should be directed by the court to pay into a special fund the difference between the 80-cent gas rate and its present charge, pending the fixing of a permanent rate, the consumers would lose nothing even though the company went into bankruptcy.
