Members of the board of education re fuse, to drop the proceedings against Samuel G.-May' suspended Instructor at the--Jefferson !'hlgh school, whose fistic battle with -William Hlmple, a student, resulted in charges being filed against the teacher. ' Frederick It Whitfield, appearing 'for May, -met the.' board in executive ses sion Thursday and It was decided to proceed with the formal hearing' which twill given' by the commission named tinder the -teachers' tenure law. The : jmembers of this commission are Guy C. H. Corliss,' Alice Benson Beach and J. C Wolds. The accused si allowed 20 days in Which to reply to the charges. As resort-of the fisticuffs the student involved .-is also under suspension by Principal Hopkln Jenkins. On the recommendation of Superin tendent L. R. Alderman, a course in French will be added to the Irvingtbn school. The proposition brought out dis- : cuss ion between, the members of the . board, it being held by some that the policy of introducing foreign languages in the schools is 'wrong. - Brake Opposes Course Director Drake was strongly opposed .to adding the new course. He sa,id that thinkers and educators of today are be ginning to realize that more attention should be centered on the Americanua tion Idea ; that the trouble with the coun try now is that there are '"too many . little Italys," here now. Superintendent Alderman defended the proposition on tire ground that now is :?the time in which to prepare for the f events which will follow the war. He said that many other schools of the na " tion are shaping their language courses to this end.

In addition there are 58 composite ships of 207,000 dead weight tons, Hurley praised the standardised ship program Inaugurated under the Denman- Goethals regime. - Going into the difficulties with which Whe shipping board has met. Hurley ex plained how the navy's . program prac tically had monopolized the facilities of yards. . . . .,,. Hurley said that contracts have been let to 110 shipyards, 74 of which have been created since January l. In addition the emergency fleet cor oration has requisitioned vessels which are building in 22 shipyards. The cor poration now controls work In 132 ship yards, f. Hurley declared that much of the work of his organisation had been directed toward, the completion of fabricated and other newly organised plants, The money expended for this purpose alone up to December. 1 was $9,651,000. I am happy to say that the- flrr three keels in these plants will be' laid this month," he said. "The progress ot the work of the yard construction ltse is such that we can promise fairly fun operation during the spring of 1818. The fact that hulls have actually been com pleted within 64 days on the Pacific coast gives bright promise of the large capacity which these fabricated yards are bound to turn out."

Facing allied demands for between six million and eight million tons of shipping in 1918, the United States shipping board is hard pressed to fill the order. This was officially admitted Thursday by mem hers of the shipping board preliminary to appearing before the senate commit tee Inquiring into ship construction work. . .Red tape and necessity for frequent re-organization of the board and its sub division, the emergency fleet 'corporation, are responsible for a part of the delay. A "serious condition" In shipbuilding yards also exists. Ot the old yards, 70 per cent are now being used by the .navy department. In the new yards estab lished for emergency building there Is the tremendous work of organizing nec essary labor. Nevertheless, Hurley Is -prepared to go on the senate committee grill as the first witness with a story of much accom plished under trying- conditions, and a promise of a big tonnage delivery at the end of 1918. Wednesday the shipping board re ceived a telegram from shipbuilders in Seattle, Wash., stating that their yards would certainly produce the million, tons promised for next' year. Reports from west coast yards alone show that 3,000, 000 tons will bo built. Hurley Is now In complete charge of the shipbuilding work a change from! the regime under Admiral Capps, when Capns was virtually in control of the I building and Hurley th contracts. This divided responsibility, it is clainfed. led to confusion and delay, which Hurley believes will be eliminated by. placing control under a single bead. FOR LAST TWO DAYS JAPANESE GOODS ID) '..
