school meeting was held yesterday for the
election of two trustees. Never before in
the history of Vineland has there been
much universal attention given to school
matters. At one time, after the polls
opened, 200 people were in line waiting 10
vote. More than half of them were
ladies.
There has been bitter war waged
against the present Board of Trustees be-
cause of the fact that they changed the
basis Of graduation at the close OF the last
school year In consequences number Of
scholars failed to graduate, and nearly all
who did refused to go on the stage at the
commencement exercises. Since there
has been two factions, and both parties
have candidates in the field. The proba-
bility is that Prot Maicuis Wilson and
l. ID. johnson, the candidates of those
who are opposed to the present Board of
Trustees, are elected.
