CLASH IN VIEWPOINTS
EVIDENT DELEGATES
AT DISCUSSION TODAY
(By The Associated Press')
UNDATED, July 31—An open clash between the views
of Italy and Great Britain over the League of Nations handl
ing of the Italio-Ethiopian conflict, is evident today as the
leaders of various delegations carried out preliminary con
versations toward the convening of the Council in executive
session
Merchants at Addis Ababa were forced to suspend busi
ness temporarily as financial difficulties beset Emperor Haile
Selassie, following a statement from the emperor himself.
A royal decree at Home assured the government of broad
powers to requisition the nation’s shipping to the fullest ex
tent necessary.
The British governmen grew less optimistic today over
private Italio-Ethiopian negotiations, an authoritative source
stated late this afternoon.
One report indicated that Ethiopia was decidedly un
willing to accept an Italian mandate of any kind, even to an
economic one.
The emperor summoned his great chiefs late today into
conference to discuss their future policy. A noticeable
tightening of the existent tension was made today as all
Italians with the exception of one woman, left the Ethiopian
capital for either Eritrea or Italy.
New York City To
Aid Art And Music
Schools This Fall
CITY TO OPEN SCHOOLS FALL
TO ENCOURAGE GIFTEI)
STUDENTS THERE
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, July 31, — High
school students gifted in the arts
will be trained in the new city high
schools of music and art which will
open in existing buildings this Sep
tember, Mayor La Guardia was in
formed by Mrs. H. Breckinridge, Dr.
Walter Damroseh and officials of the
board of education.
Mrs. Breckinridge is chairman of
an art committee appointed by the
mayor several months ago. Dr. Dam
rosch has headed a subcommittee
directly concerned with the schools
of music and art. Dr. Harold G.
Campbell and Dr. Joseph M. Shee
han of the board of education repre
sented the city.
The school of music will be open- 1
ed in the building formerly used by
the New York Teachers Training
College.
Students gifted in music will be
assigned to this school, where a gen
eral high school course will be giv.
en in addition to musical training.
Dr. Damrosch told the mayor that
the chief purpose of the school was
not to train professional musicians,
but to further the study of music
as a cultural activity.
He expressed the opinion that the
school would have a tremendous in
fluence on the city’s cultural life,
through renewing interest in music,
painting, drama and the other arts.
Dr. Campbell informed the may
or that the music school would start
with a small enrollment, probably
100. The mayor was highly pleas
ed with the school arrangements.
This will be a real school of art
he said, and not a refuge for boys
and girls who cannot make the
grade. They will have to pass the
regular high school entrance exam
inations before they will be eligible
to take the special test for admission
to the high school of music and art.
Students Must Learn
Each student must learn at least
one orchestra instrument, toward
the formation of a model high school
orchestra. This orchestra is expect
ed to raise the standards of high
school orchestras throughout the city.
Teachers in the music school will
have outstanding ability in their
subjects and will have the aid of
professional musicians. Sight sing
ing and chorus singing in parts are
to be included in the curriculum, and
detailed study wlil be given to har
mony.
Professional artists will aid the
teaching staffs of both branches.
