Wants Check on Free Use of . Money, but He’ll Help Un- \ derfed Children. By Sophie Irene Loeb. “I.cartainty am in favor of school fenches, and will do all in my power Qo facifitate their proper establish- ment ip the schools.” ‘This was tho view of Mayor Hylan when I talked to him to-day regard- img the status of school lunches. “The trouble with the whole thing ‘wee that the Board of Mducation did net turn in to the Board of Estimate ‘® complete. return in the budget that ‘would have incklnded these lunches in fime for providing the funds in the Dadget for next year,” the Mayor continue. “It will now be necessary fer the Board of Education to move far rowenue bonds for this purpose, bet suh money cannot come until after Jonuary.” ‘The Mayor went on to explain how @te tusiget matter of the Board of Wéuontion was demyed until it was tao late for action. HB was plainly evident that the Mayor regretted this as much as anybody, and that he is anxious to eee the chikiren get a wholesome meal ip. their school buildings at cost. ‘The Mayor has seemingly been over the whole subject and believes that a proper system can be dovised by which Janches may be served in the wchbools at cost to the children, prac- tieally on a so?f-supporting basis and without any deficit. This is what he hopes will be accomplished. MAYOR SUSPICIOUS OF EDUCA- CATION BOARD. What the Mayor has opposed and what he has been guarding inst is allowing Board of Education or any other group to obtain a lump sam of money from the city for ‘uso such money possibly to create a number of new jobs and permit the use of such money without an assurance that it would be property spent. He wants to be certain that tho children will truly secure a wholesome meal at cost and that, as far as possible, the system will be made self-supporting. The Mayor is fully awaro of the vaine of lunches in schools, and is| eure that thousands of children will be benefited by being able to obtain them, and also is satisfied that many ebildren do go to school undernour- “Any knows that in @ con- oy like New York there are bound to be many children “% who, for one reason or another, do not get proper food at home,” said the Mayor. “But my interest is not only to % safeguard the children, but to se % cure auch a self-sustaining sy: % tem as will be economical and do > exactly what is intended, with- * eut too much red ta: and too ‘many unnecessary and expensive sitions. ‘Delieve that the Board of Fdu- cation itself means well in this con- nection and realizes the importance of @ehool lunches. But I am also of the | opinion that the group—the so-called ‘education crowd’—are forever at work in the interest of using up a lot of money without any really progressive ateps taken, ‘This sort of thing ts ‘most inrportant to forestall and avold. “There are a great many things in the educational system that could be corrected with a considerable saving of money and to the best interests of the children. But so long have these people who attempt to control ed cational matters been permitted to continue in their efforts, they natur- ally make, us apprehensive of any plans that come in, especially at the last minute, like this lunch matter. “There wasn't sufficient time to go f$mto it. They evidently thought that no matter what was presented at the | last minute it would have to £0| through. HYLAN PROMISES CHILDREN WILL NOT SUFFER, “However, the children should not} gaffer and will not, if I can help it Zs soon as the proper plan {s pre- sented, with a request to the Board of Aldermen for revenue bonds, T will do everything I can to facilitate tho matter. “I am anxious to see not only Nwnches in the schools, but a number ef other progressive steps should be | taken, such a8 using our schools to their full capacity, securing moro schools in order to avoid crowding, | and also not retarding the children who can go on because of ability, as against holding them baok in thetr gradeg, as the present system of class work seems to do.” ‘The Mayor did not go into details on | these matters, but it was evident that | he has thought about them at length. | As the matter stands now, the $50,000 appropriated by tho Board of Esti- mate, and which has not becn used by the Board of Education for Junches, wit! have to be used by tho’ first of | January; otherwiso this money is re- turned into a sinking fund, | But {f the Board of Education makes @ request of tho Board of Aldermen for a resolution calling for revenuo bonds, these can be secured, and after approval by the Mayor and the Board af Estimate can be put to the use of schoo! Junches with little delay, Tt is likely that this will be done at the carlicst opportunity, ——- Fond Open Scholarship Drive! ‘To-Morrow. | The Alumni Association of the Etht- | cal Culture School to-morrow evening will open a drive for an additional | $250,000 to the exiating scholarship en- | dowment find oF contributions | equivalent to the ‘est on this sum The campaign will open with a mass meeting at the tchool.
