True, 19 new buildings will be opened, affording 30,000 more seats for school men to juggle with in their efforts to eliminate short time and the evil of overcrowding. But most significant in the reopening of school, Deputy Superintendent Harold G. Campbell said yesterday, is that the children are glad vacation is over and they're glad to get back in the classroom. Studies More Interesting Time was, not so long ago, Dr.

Campbell recalled, when cartoonists would picture the schoolboy shying off from the schoolhouse, disdaining the thought of returning when school began again in the fall. For a cartoonist to do that today, thinks Dr. Campbell, in New York at least, is to grossly misjudge the changing attitude of the "newer" generation. And why? "Simply because children like school today. Their work is more interesting.

They know they are accomplishing something. The creative spirit has caught was the explanation of Dr, Campbell Brooklyn will have a total public school population tomorrow of approximately 500,000, big enough to be counted the U. S.

Lafayette 053f NEW SCHOOL WILL SEAT 3,000 PUPILS The Winthrop Junior High School is the largest elementary school among the 19 new schools and additions that will open in various parts of the city tomorrow. This school is located on Winthrop between 51st and 52d Sts. It cost more than $1,000,000 to build and will provide seats for more than 3,000 students. percent of the anticipated 170,000 high school population, while Manhattan and Bronx is contented with 21 percent each, Queens 15 and Richmond 3 percent. Brooklyn will get seven of the 19 new elementary schools to be four.

But those in Brooklyn opened, Queens eight and the more. $7,140,000, compared with the $5,439,000 cost in Queens and 000 in the Bronx. Face Many Problems There are pathetic touches, if you think of them that way. How the city sends teachers into the homes to instruct the paralytic in beds, or in hospitals, or send busses around to take them to schools for the deaf, the cardiac, the underfed and the tubercular. There, are blind students, too, who tap their canes on the way to school and helpful students who guide them about corridors and carry Braille typewriters for them.

For in this city of morons and budding geniuses, cripples and a athletes the city. has educational problems, and to hear of the new educational innovations that will be introduced tomorrow and that have been introduced is to realize that it is meeting them. Introduction of new courses of study tomorrow is the most self-evident phase of the school system's work in keeping up with the tempo of the modern age, say the school officials. For there is a syllabus in science which will be introduced in grades below 7A tomorrow. which aims to acquaint the youngsters with the newest in television, radio and aeronautics.

History Courses Improved The new course in American history for elementary schools expurgates many dates, considering them unimportant for retention, and emphasizes exploration and discovery, economic conditions panics, biographical material and social conditions. And it aims to inculcate a "habit of reading worthwhile newspapers." The course in hygiene in all high schools emphasizes health and the care of the mind and body. A new two-year art course, compulsory for all high school students, will begin tomorrow, laying emphasis not on drawing but on art appreciation. It aims to make the student appreciate art in everything from baby carriages and comic strips to window displays and kitchen utensils. Brooklyn leads again the new elective course in Hebrew, beginning tomorrow, will be offered only in new Abraham Lincoln High School at Coney Island and Thomas Jefferson High.

So the courses of study, one sees. is a far cry from that May day in 1653. when Adrian Hegeman, the first school master in the first school of the old town of Midwout. now Flatbush, that stood near the present Erasmus Hall High School, began teaching the rudiments-3 R's- a little theology. New Girl's School.

For tomorrow sees in the newest school of its kind, and the second in the city, Brooklyn Industrial High School for Girls at Dean near 3d students taking courses in beauty culture and tea room management. There are laundries in the basement where the girls will launder the linen used in the school. They will operate garment machines and become dressmakers and milliners. There are more seats than there are pupils Board of Education officials disclosed yesterday, but they are still confronted with shifts in population so that short time and special schedule is still with them. Tomorrow marks the opening of the 33d academic year since the consolidation of the boroughs in 1898 into the City of New York.

about 3,500,000 and of Population of the city mister was school system 400.000. Where the city population has almost doubled in the interim, the school register has trebled. Then Brooklyn had a register of 141,000, today 500.000, and Manhattan and The Bronx were the leaders with 233,000 pupils, Overcrowding Old Problem In 1898 Brooklyn had a part-time problem, for 1,381 were thus affected.

This committee is convinced that the growth of motor-car stealing criminals is one of the most urgent problems of the day, and recognises that wireless must play important part in any attempt to.

grapple with these desperadoes. It is proposed to equip policemen the country, with pocket throughout wireless sets, enable them to keep in constant touch with headquarters as patrol their beats. An electric buzzer carried on the outside are being called. and small carphones will enable them to receive messages. Small Radio Set "What we want." said a London notice, "is a small and convenient radio set which will hamper the police officer in his work, and at the same time will have an effective range.

Experts have already produced a set, whiche is only one-third as heavy as was originally thought necessary. It looks like a tiny battery and fits easily into a breast pocket." In London day and night activity by the Flying Squad patrols, a closer linking up of communication with the suburbs and A provinces, and constant vigilance over unattended cars in the West End, have been features of the campaign against the motor bandit. Detectives in fast cars have been on the trail of those lightning raiders who dash up to shops, in any part of London, carry a theft. and are away again in a matter of seconds.

school system has had the part -time problem. In 1898, too, there were 485 schools when the city was formed. Today there are nearly 1,100 buildings. Over in Manhattan the first lic school, at Madison Ave. near Pearl came into being on May 19, 1806, with a register of 42 students, the year after the Free School Society was organized.

But that was after the towns in what is now Brooklyn had been giving school instruction for years, although these schools were affiliated with churches and the Friends Society. Transit Board Acts To Oust Bazar of Democratic Club 13th A. D. Affair on Realty Owned by City Loses in Injunction Fight The Board of Transportation will move tomorrow to oust the bazar which has been set up on city property acquired for subway purposes at McKibbin St. and Bushwick Ave.

John J. Fitzgerald, board counsel, announced this yesterday after Supreme Court Justice Dunne signed an order vacating the temporary injunction obtained from Justice McCrate Aug. 30, by the 13th A. D. Democratic Club, restraining the board interfering with the bazar.

Although decision was reserved on that part of the injunction restraining the police interfering, because the Court wanted to consider further a disputed poit concerning the operation of gambling devices, Mr. Fitzgerald said the police could act on complaint of the board, which had issued a permit for use of the premises. than 200 applications by socalled bazars for use of city property have been received and refused by the Board in the last three months, Mr. Fitzgerald said. An investigation, he said, had shown almost invariably the bazars are promoted by "what has been characterized as charity rackets," the promoters being men who operate concessions at carnivals and county fairs.

Men, who said they represented the 13th A. D. Democratic Club, forced themselves upon the city property on McKibben after permission had been refused several times by the Board. Fitzgerald added.

English in Her Accent Keeps Actress Back Denied Roles She Might Easily Have Had if She Had Talked Plain U. S. Pretty but "just plain American," Jeanne Williams a few years ago came to Hollywood with a synthetic foreign accent and the adopted name of Sonia Karloff andn with the combination, plus her beauty, attracted a director's attention and won a Alm contract. She dropped from screenlater, She dropped from the screen later, and now is back on Broadway. avoid a similar fate Juliette Compton, also pretty and "just American," has been doing everything in her power to lose the English accent she acquired during three years on the London stage and five years in English movies.

Not So Helpful Although not long ago possession an English accent was the talkie player's proudest boast, Miss Compton found when she came to Hollywood a year ago, she that her accent, and the producers' belief she was English, hindered rather than helped her talkie career. She was denied roles, which, as Compton of Columbus, Juliette, have won with ease. Unlike Sonia, she says she did not try to pose as a foreigner, the results in both cases were about the same except that Juliette is still here and has a contract. Her speech now is only slightly English, and very much Georgia. Almost a Romance Hundreds of actresses have run away from home to go on the stage.

Therefore Miss Compton is unique -she was almost a runaway, but not quite. In New York on a visit, she obeyed an impulse to stray, merely neglecting to return home. Her first stage role was with Fay Bainter in "The Kiss Burglar," and later she played in the rollies. John Murray Anderson, lately director of "The King of Jazz," took a number of girls, Juliette among them, to England for stage productions, and before long she was playing opposite the English star, Gerald DuMaurier. Then she became a star in British pictures.

She may be remembered. suggests the Associated Press, for work in "Nell Gwyn," with Dorothy Gish, which was generally released in America. Her first Hollywood talkie, "Woman to Woman," WAS unsuccessful, but since she has played in "Ladies of Leisure," and in "Anybody's Woman" and "Morocco."
