ROYALTY AT
WEDDING OF
PRINCESS
Mafaldaf—fi the Second
Daughter of Italian
King Is Bride of
Prince of Hesse
SHE ‘IS 23
He Renounces Rights
To Succession to the
House of Hesse--The
Ceremony
. RACCONIGI. Italy. Sept. 23.—
(AP). Win time-hallowed ritual,
beautifully simple. yet rich in dig-
nity and solemnity. Princess Mafal-
do. the youthful second daughter of
the ruling house of Italy. today be-
came the bride of Philip. Prince of
Hesse.
Members of the royal families of
Italy. Germany. Denmark. Greece,
llumanla. Serbia. Belgium, Austria“
and Montenegro and representatives
and Spain attended the ceremonies.
The. function of this morning in
the great hall and chapel of the an-
cient Savoy castle of Racconigl was
unusual not only in the assembling
of a remarkable gathering of Prin-
but in transcending the wounds of
the war and uniting the daughter of
the Catholic Italian royal family
with theson of a Protestant German
house famed for it‘s early welcoming
of Lutheran reforms.
Because of the differences in re-
ligion of the bride and. bridegroom
Pope Pius granted a special dispen-
sation for . the marriage. Philip
made promise that any children of
the union would be brought up in
the faith of their mother. without
interference or restraint from him.
Also the Prince renounced all rights
to his succession to the head of the
House of Hesse. which fact makes
it certain that Mufalda always will
remain a Catholic for if her hus-
band ever became the reigning
Prince of Hesse it would be neces—
sary for his wife and children to
adhere to the Lutheran faith.
The spacious marble-paved bil-
liard room of the castle had been
especially transformed into a. bower
of flowers. The walls were covered
with paintings and heraldic tapes-
tries of rich, red and golden hues
interwoven with black: It was here
that the civil ceremony was per-
formed.
The bridal procession was headed
by King Victor Emmanuel with
Princess Mafalda oir his arm. and
Prince Philip accompanying Queen
Helena. They were followed into
the bridal ball by the guests. The
King..the Queen and QueemMother
Margherita took seats in arm chairs
on one side of a red velvet-covered
table. and Princess Mafalda. Prince
Philip. Premier Mussolini and for-
mer Premier Tittoni sat on the other
Signor Tittoni read the mar-
riage articles of the civil code. hf-
ier which the marriage contract was
signed| with a gold pen by the bride
and bridegroom and by the King
When the civil ceremony ended
the wedding party formed into pro-
cession again and marched through
the halls of the castle to the chapel
on the ground floor. where the brief
but solemn ceremony of the Roman
Catholic church was performed by
Monsignor Beccariay chaplain of
the Court of Italy.

Is Completed
FITCH“ SCHOOL
Lighting So Poor He
Feels Sorry for. Chil-
. dreit ....
Condition of
' mm.
That the Board of Educution and
the people of Norwalk must be pre-
pared for . some "shocking revela-
tions" when the State report on the
schools. at the, Board of Education
ed by Johnliund. superintendent of
schools. at the Baord of Education
meeting last night.
Speaking specifically only of the
Fitch School. he said that the light.
ing there was “criminally low," and
that he was “sorry for the children
every day they're in there."
His statements correspond almost
in details with the report made on
the Fiich School" last October by
The' Evening Sentinel in its series
of articles‘on the Norwalk Schools.
‘He said last night:
"The Board must be pmpared for
some’ shocking revelations when the
State survey is made. I speak now
only bf'one condition—that is. the
discarding of the Fitch- School. I
hate to ask for repairs there. for
the condition of the building doesni
Justify any expenditure.
"Yet there is only 8 per cent to
11 per cent lighting in the Fitch
schobi rooms. and there are times
during dull‘ afternoons when no
children should he kept studying
there.
"Eight per cent of light is crim-
inally low, and I feel sorry for the
children very day they're in there.
It. isn't doing their eyesight any
good—it is harming it.
“There is tempeiary wiring in the
building now. but no lights.. I feel
that us should at least put in the
lights on the wiring that is there.’
The matter was referred to the
building committee. «
The percentage of light is com-
puted by figured the area of win-
dow space as compared with floor
space. Twenty-five per cent. as
much window space as floor space
is considered ideal by educational
authorities. to per cent. is the min-
lmum. The highest room‘ in Fitch is
11 per cent while the worst is 8 per
cent.
The statements ‘by Mr. Lund are
curiously alike to the report on the
same school printed last year before
Mr.'Lund's arrival in Norwalk.
The Evening Sentinel report said:
“The school was planned without
any attempt to utilise -what little
natural light comes from the win-
dows. I'f‘the light comes from the
left.» as preferred for study pur-
' poses. it is by accident and not by
design. for in half the rooms the
light mes from the right of the
pupils as they are seated.
"Qn stormy and wintry days the
classes must study by what usht
theyvgot from the windows. busty
directed to it is. If it gets too dark
to ma it cant be helped for
there is no artificial light in the

Board Will Commit Its
self to No Building
Program Until Rye-'-

The Board of "Education doesn't
want the people of Norwalk to voter
in favor of the school bond issue all
October 5th. .
This was their decision at thd
special meeting last night when the)"
went into executive session. Th'
$200,000‘issue as it stands does ‘, " .
meet the most 'serious build '
needs," says the Board. and if 7th,.
issue had not been limited to‘addI-l
tions to the High school. it is into
probable that any part of the moneyi
would have been spent there.
Me'mbers of the Board also last,
night refuted the statement . 0
Senator Frank W. Gregory. and so
that he- had been taken fully in
their confidence. had been take
around to some of the schoo
show him conditions. and tho
had promised to keep them all
of any developments on the bond
issue bill.
The full text of the statement
the Board as issued was as follow! T
"At its special meeting held at
High School Tuesday evening ~
Board of Education. voted. “000.4%
theiough and cement discussion
that it could not recommend to
voters of the city the approval of
act of Legislature authorizing
Bond Issue of $200, 000 to be sq“
‘soiely for an addition or addit
to the present High School building}:
"While the Board at this limb
not in a position to anticipate 'th
iesult of the school survey now
ing conducted by the State Board. Of
Education. the conviction is strap;
with the Board that to expend 3800
000 or any part of it for additi n!
to the present High School build '
would not meet the most seriou
present building needs. If the b0
issue had not been limited for Big 4
School use. it is quite unlikely that
any part of it would have been. '
pended upon additions to the High
School while conditions in the
and District and other parts of tit ,
city with respect to elementary an
junior high school facilities remain
as they are.
“In short the Board feels yer!
strongly that conditions in the High.
School building—serious as they as
mittedly are—are not as serious
elsewhere in the school system, and
therefore in all conscience caring.
proceed to spend so large an amount
of the taxpayers money at this tim
for this single purpose. To expe ,
only a portion of the issue for th
purpose specified would leave alarg
balance unaccounted for and lead I
complications in respect to future
sues which cannot well be forsoe
and would also greatly complicat
the future building‘program.
"The Board hopes to present to
the taxpayers at a later date‘a clear,
picture of- school needs in the order
dictated by necessity. confident that
when these needs are demonstrated.
the funds will be pio.vided " -
At the beginning of the meeting3
Chairman Douglas Nash said. 4
“This special meeting was called
to talk over plans for the bond is-
sue. As it standsflanother bill was
substituted for ours—one that is no
satisfactory. I don't think at thi
meeting we can come to any definit
conclusion and until the school sur
vey now under way is completed
think it advisable not to commit .
ourselves to any program. 5,
“The survey. I understand. is no

can be given to the Board. unlesg
