The committed on elementary schools Is held responsible for tlio action of the boaru. School teachers and members of the Fellowship of the Pennsylvania Academy of tho Kino Arts whose pictures con stitute the exhibition, are particularly bitter against the board, which yestcr rcfused to sanction the npproprla- .1. Criticisms are (llrected against inion Gratz, president of tho cduca Jon.'il body, because of his opposition to tho measure. Mr, Crutz said that to show pictures of tho Fellowship, was a "pretty poor way of teaching children art" Miss M.iry Uutlcr, lce president of tho Fellowship today attributed! the board's action to misunderstanding and Ignor ance. '"I liao letters of commendation," she said, "from many of the represen tative public school teachers here., These exhibitions hao been gUen for a num ber of sears, and not only tho art com munity but tho educators of the commu nity sharo my views regarding their Im portance 111 tho cjlucatlon of children. "The point bus been taken that the works shown aro not those of 'great artists,' and that the contributors like to have them shown for the purpose of "rgalnlng reputation.' AVhat reputation, In the name of common sense, could an exhibition at Second and Green streets, for Instance, give to a professional painter, or how could It help to sell his work? The Idta is foolish. "Thcro hao been between forty and fifty of tlieMO exhibitions; the pictures for tlicm aio chosen by "the Juries who select tho pictures for tho Academy's own annual cxiimiuons. Of course the; are not Sargents, they aro not Whist lers, but If ouc cannot feed one's chll dren roast beef i there any reason wi one should deprho them of hamburg steak? If one cannot clotbo them In furs, must ono deny them wool?" During tho course of tho discussion at tho meeting estelday of the Board of Education Mr. Gratz said If tho children wanted to seo art they can see It at the Acauemy. As against this, otllclals at the Academy say children cannot get a proper conception of art throueh the yearly lslt in class permitted by the school teacher. At the tamo time It was said they enme to tho Academy con fused, ran about, wanted things to cat. anu am not nao ineir minds on tho Subject of art. GERMANS TREAT YANKS WELL Roland R.

HAVERFORD DEPARTS Transatlantic Passenger Service From Port Is Resumed After many delays the steamship Haverford, of tha American Line, sailed today from this port with forty civilian pnssengers, tho first to leave slnco May, 191B. The sailing of the Haverford marks the resumption of transatlantic passen ger service from Philadelphia. The steamship Is bound for Liverpool and Is expected to return via Brest with a contingent of war heroes. This belief Is supported by the fact that three de .barkatlon officers are aboard the steam ship. It was planned originally to havo the Haverford start from Its pier at the foot of Washington avenue last Tues day, but the sailing was delayed to take aboard big consignments of freight. Tho time was changed to yesterday afternoon and later to last night. Later officials of the line delayed the depar ture until this morning, v DOCTORS FOR REVISION Pats Resolution Indorsing New Charter After Speech by Powell Evins A resolution was adopted Indorsing charter revision for the city, and tha State Legislature of Pennsylvania was petitioned to co-operate with the char ter committee to provide Philadelphia with a charter such as Its needs require, after a speech by Powell Evans, chair man of the charter committee, at a stated meeting of the .College of Phv.

Monday morning the fraternity rush ing season starts at tho University, and for two weeks the much-abused first, year men will be tho only persons on tho campus whose existence Is entirely calm and undisturbed. , Llko measles and whooping-cough, rushing Is an expected and almost nec essary affliction at universities. And like measles and whooplng.cough, every one is glad when rushing Is over, except those who havo enjoyed the distinction of being rushed. Timid, retiring freshmen from distant country places who have studiously stepped out of the way of all upper, classmen, who havo worn extravagant and pneumonia attracting caps, who have been barred from going to places they want to visit nnd doing things they want to do, who. In general, hive borne every kind of overbearing tyranny possi ble, suddenly llnd their lots changed. Strange new friends appear on all sides and extend to them tho glad hand of fellowship. Where they were for merly rebuffed they aro now sought after. They aro dined, thcatrc-partled and generally, entertained. Fraternity members from upper classes have no such round of pleasures laid out for them. Theirs Is tho unen viable task of planning and arranging for tho entertainments, making them selves always agreeable and pleasant to freshmen nnd digging down Into their pockets to foot the bills. Two weeks from next Monday the lushing season ends and then comes thn bidding, a period of hectic, fast and furious tince AClty. Then tho day of the freshman ends. Ills doom Is then vtpon him and If lie lives through both his Initiation and tho period of drudgery that follows he must Indeed boa hearty specimen. Then Is the time that Senior Smith and Junior Jones get their chaiite to get even. MATTRESSES RENOVATED I BRASS I1I-I13 nKLACQUEflKI) I Ou.rintred rqual to new.
