| A IAR R, * SCHOOL OFFICIALS | WORK ON SUPPLIES Committees Framing Quotas for Senior High Pupils Next Year. Nearly a score of committees of | school officials are engaged in framing | supplies and text books quotas for the | distribution of materials among the Dis- trict's senior high school pupils begin- ning next year, in accordance with the free text book bill. Amounts of material assigned to pupils differ with each subject and with each semester of the high school course. It involves the expenditure this year | of approximately $240,000 which amount will be established only when the 1931 appropriation bill is approved by Con- It is tentively estimated that the average senior high school pupil will use approximately 160 sheets of ink or so- called “examination” paper, and perhaps 200 sheets of pencil or “scratch” paper. Similarly, the number of pencils, pens and the number of erasers needed varies widely according to the courses. No definite figures have yet been Teached by the committee members, ‘who said they expect to have their re- ports on supplies completed by the mid- dle of next month. In working out a supply schedule, the quota committees are figuring on the basis of the fees now paid by pupils. ‘The subcommittees on text-book quotas are just beginning their work, it was explained yesterday by Maj. R. O. ‘Wilmarth, assistant superintendent in charge of business affairs, because bids may be advertised for on them as late as June 1 to guarantee an August de- livery for book distribution in Septem- ber. These committees, a group of school officers under department heads for each subject, will make their reports late in May. Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant su- perintendent of schools, is chairman of the general quota committee, which in- cludes also Jere J. Crane, first assistant superintendent in charge of business af- fairs; Garnet C.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 30—William Childs is back in the restaurant busi- ness, beginning over at 63. ‘The man who put his family name on the windows of 118 eating places, only to lose control of them a year ago, opened the first of a new chain of restaurants on Broadway last night. He hopes to add 15 eating places a year to this first of his new chain. Forty years ago he and his brother started their first lunch room on Cort- land street, in downtown New York. ‘When he lost control a year ago to a stockholders’ group which had acquired majority control in his restaurants, he ed as president of a corporation capitalized at approximately $37,000,000. | ‘The new restaurants are to have no flapjack-flipping maidens in the front windows, nor any of the white tile which Willlam Childs introduced into American eateries, Each will in the manner of . ©Old_ World cente: in Moorish arabesque. Mr. Childs still lives on the 600- acre farm at Bernardsville, N. J., where he was born. Presumably he still fol- lows the vegeterian diet attributed to him in the past, but his new restau- rants, he says, will be neither meatless nor have calories and vitimines of each dish computed on the menus as they once were. e SCIENTISTS TO EXPLORE LOUISIANA MARSHES By the Associsted Press. CHICAGO, April 30.—The abundant mammal and bird life of the coastal marshes of Louisiana, where lived the exiled Acadians, will be further studied by an expedition of the Chicago Acad- emy of Sciences. Alfred M. Bailey, director of the acad- emy rmuseum, today said that six weeks will be spent in the “land of Evangeline” gathering, studying and photographing specimens to round out the museum'’s collection. Several coastal estates, including that of Joseph Leiter, Chicago capitalist, have been thrown open to the expedi- tion to study the thousands of roseate spoonbills, American egrets, anhingas and other birds that make the marches their nesting refuge. —.
