boat was stolen from somewhere
along the shore between Long Island

for a joy ride. Notices have been
sent out to the police along the shore

The sloop. of racing type. is about

cabin is neatly designed and highly

but it is equipped with one sail and

NEW YORK. July 17.-—»0n one
evening last week 65.000 men. wo-
men and children crowded the Mall
in Central Park. and the outdoor
stadium near the College of the City
of New York. to hear classical
music. Fifty thousand of these
were under the spell of the Gold-
man band and 15,000 listened at-
tentively to the concert of the New
York Symphony Society. In each
instance the program was minus
jazz and anything that might qual-
ify .under the existing definition of
"popular," which. however. is a
misnomer since nothing is more
"popular” than the "classics" it we
judge by the attendance.
“I have conducted concerts with
my band for seven years." declared
Mr. Goldman. “and I have studied
my audiences every night. Cheap
music is ot pOpular. and classical
music is. This may sound like a
misnomer. but I speak from my
actual observations. Indeed. so pop-
ular has become our programs of
standard and classical music that
we are obliged to repeat many of
the numbers. And a conspicuous
feature is the number of children
who attend. So numerous are those
youngsters that as a special com-
pliment to them I frequently add
cncores especially designed for thcir
delight. “‘e never see any evidence
of wearlness on their faces. They
are bright. alert and interested. and
from this group we are developing
the new generation of music lovers.
and it will be a greater. and a more
interesting group than the one We
now play to."

1 NOT BE MADE
Domestic Science Can’t
Go to Franklin Be-
cause New Schools
Will Not Be Ready
\
The plan of removing the dbmcs-
tic science room from the senior
High school to the Franklin High
school adopted by the Board of
Education cannot be affected at‘ the
opening of school year in the fall. it
was announced today by Superin-
tendent of Schools George V. Buch-
anan. The change cannot be put in-
to effect until the second semester.
"Because of the fact that «the
Franklin school will be more over-
crowded that ever before in the fall.
it will be impossible to find room for
the domestic science room." said Su-
perintendent Buchanan. “The new
school buildings. the East Norwalk
Junior High school and the addition
to the \Vashington school. will not
be completed in time to relieve the
congestion at. the Franklin school at
the opening of the school year. Prob-
abilities are that the congestion will
not be relieved until the second
semester."
At a recent meeting. the Board of
Education favored the transfer of
the‘ domestic science room to the
Franklin school. This would give
the High school an additional room.
and with the partitioning of the
study room on the second floor into
two class rooms. would make it pcs-
siblc to delay the transforming of
the auditorium into class-rooms.
As it is now. the study hall “ill
be made into class-rooms and a part
of the auditorium will be used as a
study hall. The school nuthorittcs
are hoping to be able to takc care of
the influx of students in this mannvr.
Later the domestic science will be
removed from the building giving
an additional room. Although lhnre
will be two extra. rooms. and later a
third one, only one additional teaclh
or has been added to the high school
staff. Principal Philip Jakob has
told Superintendent Buchanan that
he thought he could get along vmh
only the one extra teacher. A scr-
cnd teacher 'Will probably be added
