EDUCATIONAL MEASURES.
Two bills in the interests of the Public
School system of the State have been in
troduced. One OF them is directed at an
evil which has existed for some time in
the country districts. The law of 1874
gave certain districts under certain con-
ditions the privilege of using part OF
the school fund for repairs on the school
houses. This is contrary to the original
intention of the State authorities, and as
some of the country districts have taken
advantage of it the bill is introduced to
repeal the act IN question.
The other bill Is to deprive some of the
farmer school trustees of the State from
using their influence in getting their sons
or daughters appointed teachers regard
less of their qualifications. The bill pro-
hibits any board of school trustees hay
ing less than six members from employing
teachers who may be relatives within the
third degree to any of the members
These bills both came from the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
and are merely amendatory acts.

Superintendent Chapman said yesterday
that the time had passed for men who
had classical education TO think they
were fitted for teaching. Pedagogics had
become a science and q graduate or
Princeton or any other college was no
more fitted for teaching than he was to
practice medicine. The bill originated In

that it was recommitted during the after

circles. as the State Normal School has
become an organic part of the public
school system.
The plans of building are not complete,
and were made merely to arrive at an ap-
proxinate cost of the Improvement.
The architect who prepared them is Mr..
Finch, of Trenton. The committee who
were appointed by the State Board of
Education to secure the necessary legis-
ton, are James L. Hayes, Secretary of
State Kelsey, Superintendent Chapman,
Comptroller Anderson, j. Bingham
Woodward and Principal Green.
Mr.. james L. Hays. of Newark, who is
the President of the Board of Trustees of
the school, in his last annual report,
spoke of the ACCESSIBILITY of giving the
students Instructions in manual training.
But he said that manual training could
not be taught without more room. There
are over two hundred and fifty boarters,
with no gymnasium or place Tor indoor
exercise, nor any accommodations for
putting in practice the principles of ply
steal culture. The drawing room is in
adequate and there is no auditorium III
which the entire school can assent BILE.
Governor Green endorsed President
Hays recommendations in his last mes
sage and the bill was put through.
