Easter Is now held on the first Sun
day after the first full moon after the
list of March. "The proper time for
the celebration of Easter has oeca-
xie-ned no little controversy." saya th
New International Encyclopedia. "In
the second century a dispute arose on
this point between the Eastern and
Western churches. The great mass of
the Eastern churches celebrated Easter
on the ltth day of the first Jewish
month or moon, considering It to be
equivalent to the Jewish Passover. The
Western churches celebrated It on the
Sunday after the 14th day, hoMIng that
It was the commemoration of the res
urrection of Jesus.
Western lux Adopted.
"The Council of Nicaea (in 323 . de
elded In favor of the Western usage,
branding- the Eastern with the name
of the quartodeclman' heresy. This,
however, only settled the point that
Easter was to be held, not upon a cer
tain day of the month or moon, but
on a Sunday.
"The proper astronomical cycle for
calculating the occurrence of the East
er moon was not determined by this
council. It appears, however, that the
metonlc cycle was already In use In the
West for this purpose, and it was on
this cycle that the Gregorian calendar,
Introduced In 152. was arranged.
As the time of Easter Is the most
important of all the movable feasts
of the Catholic church. It determines
the others. "It was debated, at the
time of the Introduction of the Gregor
Ian calendar, whether Easter should
continue to be movable, or whether a
fixed Sunday, after the list of March,
should not be adopted. It waa d-fer
ence to ancient custom that led the
ecclesiastical authorities to adhere to
the method of determination by the
moon.
I ma g:i r y Mw Rearnlate.
"It must be remembered, however,
that It Is not the actual moon In the
heavens, nor even the mean moon of
istrononiers. that regulates the time
-f Easter, but an altogether Imaglnery
noon, whose periods are so contrived
ht the new (calendar) moon always
rollows the real new moon (sometimes
iy two, or even three. days, The ef
(ect of this is that the 14th of the
'elendar moon which had, from the
time of Moses, been considered 'full
moon for ecclesiastical purposes fall;
senerally on the ISth or 16th of the
real moon, and thus, after the real full
moon, which Is generally on the 14th or
1 5th day.
Tlth this explanation, then, or
what Is meant by 'full moon.' vlx th
14th day of the calendar moon, the rule
It that Easter day Is always the first
Sunday after the paschal full moon,
I. e.. the full moon which happens upon
r next after the list of March (the
'rglnnlng of the ecclesiastical year)

Sunday. Easter day Is the Sunday

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF STUDENTS
IN NEW YORK HIGH SCHOOLS RAPID
Crowded Condition of All Buildings Causes Board of Education to Consider Operating Schools in Two Shifts.
xpens of Budget So Great Tha t More Schools Cannot Be Built.
BT LLOTD F. I.OXEROAX.
NEW ltJKiv. April . (Special.)
Members of the Board of Educa
tion are considerable- exercised
over the discovery that the high
schools are rapidly getting Into the
subway class. It Is always "rush hour"
there.
In the greater city are 11 high
schools with an aggregate seating ca
pacity of under 15.009. In January,
there were 11,42 pupils enrolled. Dur
ing February, the total went up to 41.
441. The figures for March have not
yet been officially tabulated, but It
Is understood that they almost reach
the 50,000-mark.
Associate Superintendent Edward L
Stevens, who Is In direct charge of that
branch of education, admits that he Is
confronted by a most serious problem.
Part-time classes will probably result.
and at the request of the high schools
committee of the Board of Education.
Mr. Stevens Is now preparing a report,
showing how this plan could be put
Into operation.
He proposes that In addition to the
evening high schools, which convene
at 7:30 P. M.. there be two day
sections, on shift of pupils being on
hand from 8:30 A. M. until 1:30 P. M-
while the others would report at 11:30
A. M. and remain on hand until 4:30
P. M. From 11:30 until 1:30. both
groups would be at school, but It Is
figured that by carefully planning the
hours of study, recess and luncheon. It
mould be possible to have these two
groups occupying different parts of the
building without conflict.
One way to solve the problem. It
would seem, would be to build more
high schools. Th trouble Is that the
equal-pay bill. benefiting women
teachers, bas added several millions
annually to the budget, and the board
of estimate does not see Its way clear
to spending more for education at the
present time.
Hsa Faces Prableaa.

One site In Dutchess County has
been tentatively accepted, but a hor

Prendercast the other day, which
caused the board of estimate to delay
action. This discovery was that there
was a lack of a proper water gupply

The Municipal Club of Brooklyn is
starting in to boom the borough across
the river. In an uncommonly attrac
tive little volume of short articles, by
well-known citizens. Illustrated by
many photographs. It presents with
entertaining variety and completeness
the many-sided life and doings of
what It calls "The Borough of Beauty
and Promise."
As one of the contributors to the
booklet explained: "In Manhattan, the
man who lives next door. Is the man
who lives next door; that's all. In
Brooklyn, he la Harry Thompson. He
has a name, a family, a dog known as
Towner and a cat called Tabby."
Brooklyn, as Is pointed out. Is grow
ing fast. From 1.1,&82 In 1900. the
population Increased to 1.(34.351 in
1I0, or an Increase of 40 per cent. A
statistician has figured out thst at the
present rate of growth. Brooklyn. In
1:0. will have a population of 2.500.
000. and Brooklynltes who are alive In
150 may expect to see a city of 7,000,
00. The Municipal Club has prepared this
present volume mainly to help along
the Brooklyn Planning Movement,
which hopes to use the experience of
Washington. Chicago and Paris in di
recting and beautifying the. growth of
the Borough of Baby Carriages.
Although Mrs. Emma Weiss Is In Jail
on a. charge of grand larceny, the police
admit that her peculiar defense may
prevent any punishment. Also there la
a chance that she Is not guilty.
Mrs. Weiss lives at No. 1627 Avenue
A. Her Intimate friend until recently
was Mrs. Rose Forges, a neighbor. Mrs.
Purges called the other day and told
the sympathetic Mrs. Weiss that she
had to go to a hospital, but was wor
ried about her fortune. 1293 in bank
bills and a pair of diamond earrings.
Mrs. f orges made her friend the cus
todian on the understanding that Mrs.
Weiss should turn the property over
to the sister of Mrs. Porges. who lived
far down town.
Mrs. Porges was In the hospital only
a few days and when she came out
found that the valuables had never
reached sister. Naturally she hastened
to Mrs. Weiss for an explanation.
"Such a terrible thing." Mrs. Weiss
sobbed: "I put the parkage In the side
board drawer, my dear. Intending to
take It down to your sister the next
day. In the morning when 1 opened
the drawer, there were only tiny bits
of paper and the earrings. The mice
had eaten all the money. Give me
time and I will pay It back to you."
Mrs. Porges, however, hastened to
court and secured a warrant. Mrs.
"To Them That Hath"
A SHORT SERMON TO
FAT FOLKS
" "To them that hath shall be riven" Is a
sentence that applies to fat people very
neatly. It Is common knowledge that once
a human being begins to fatten up. to what
they have already la added more than they
want until finally a stage la reached where
reduction must be made or decided disad
vantage results.
Then comes forward the ages-old query.
"Reduce bat how?" To the uninformed
nothing suggests Itself but the (to them)
twin evils less eating more activity. They
contemplate a more or less lengthy siege of
dieting and exercising. Ko It may be said
safely that every man or woman in the land
now undergoing the fattenlng-up process has
bis or ber mental eye fixed dubiously on
that not tar distant day when he or she wilt,
have to don the "ashes and sackcloth of
reduction."
This Is not an enlivening prospect, and so
It Is with considerable satisfaction that we
announce the emancipation of tha fat. Now
adays on may reduce much or little, a
pound a day If desired, or hold their fat In
check, absolutely stationary, without doing
a tap of exercise, missing a single meal, do
ing a particle of harm or causing a solitary
wrinkle. All that a required, as hundreds
testify, la the taking after meals and at
bedtimes of one Marmola Prescription Tab
