SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
Business Transacted at Yesterday After
moons Meeting.

A meeting of the school committee
was held yesterday afternoon, Mayor
Baxter presiding. Messrs. McGowan
and Thompson were absent.
Mrs. George S. Hunt appeared in be-
half of the Woman's Christian Temper
anceUnion to urge the committee to give
more attention to scientific temperance
instruction in the public schools. Mrs.
Hunt said that this instruction, which
had been ordained by law, had become
almost a dead letter, especially in the
lower grades. The book used was too
dry and learned for younger scholars,
and the teachers had but five minutes in
the morning directly after devotional ex-
ercises. This time was entirely made
quate, and Mrs. Hunt suggested that it
might be better to devote half an hour
each Friday afternoon.
There was some discussion among
members of the committee in regard to
the practicability of effectively giving
scientific temperance instruction to
young scholars. 1t involves an under
standing of the facts of physiology,
which are difficult for young minds to
comprehend. No action was taken in
the matter.
It was voted to transfer Miss Eleanor
NJ Griffin from the Monument street
school to the Training school.
Miss Emma E. Samson was nominated
by Mr.. Blake to be assistant at the Mon
ument street school at salary of $3.50
yearly.
Peaks Island School.
A petition was presented from large
number of residents of Peaks Island, OBJ
jecting to the proposal to put the school
in charge of a woman principal. For Is
years Mr.. A. W. Wilbur has been princi-
pal of this school at a salary of $1,000,
with two assistants, Miss Jones at $500
and Miss Plummer at $500. AS there
are not large number of scholars, it
has been proposed to put Miss Jones at
the head of the school with a salary of
spoOU LID w Ou11 CICCt q u0U Saving VI
$500 yearly; and it has been thought that
the welfare of the school would be Sc
cured.
The committee voted to lay the petit
ton on the table; and then elected Miss
Alice E. Jones principal, at a salary of
$500; Miss Ada L. Davis as first assistant
at salary of $500; and Miss Carrie M.
Plummer as second assistant, at $3.50.
Centre Street School.
In regard to proposition to abolish
the Centre street school. Mr.. Mcdonald
reported that in his opinion it would be
unadvisable. The present corps of
teachers were then unanimously re-elect-
ed {: Principal, ia. Milliken, at $1,000; and
assistants, Caroline o. Cole, $500; Mary
E. Jordan, $3.50; Lizzie F. Walsh, $425;
Maud A. Deehan. $500; Sadie A. Black,
$500; Della G. Cady, $500; Mary E. Plum
mer, $500; Sallie G. Barstow, $475.
A letter was then presented from Miss
Maud A. Deehan, resigning from the
school. Miss Deehan's resignation was
accepted, and it was decided not to fill
her position.

Monthly Meeting Of .ho aoard.

The Hunterdcn Board of Freeholders
held its first monthly meeting in the Court
House last Wednesday. The usual rou-
tine business, which is Of little interest to
the general public, was transacted, after
which, on motion of Freebooter McCrea-
the Finance Committee was authorized to
borrow $4,000 on two notes Of $4,000
each, nearly $1,000 of which is due to the
State Asylum, the balance being necessary
for current expenses.
The vacant lot belonging to The county,
on Court street, Flemington, is to be sold il
purchaser can be found, the Committee
on Public Buildings having been instructed
at this meeting to negotiate the sale.
John NJ. Baldwin again presented his
claim for damages received in the freshet
of 1885, and again it was rejected. Mr..
Baldwin insists that this damage was
made possible by the changing Of bridge
near Sidney, which all owed tie water to
overflow his lands and swamp his build
ings. On this occasion he offered TO CON-
promise but the Board refused to deal
with him on the ground that the county
is not liable. The matter will now be
taken into the Courts.
The Board will meet the Warren Coun-
ty Board at Imlaydalc ON the present
Tuesday to determine whether a joint
bridge shall be built over the Musconct-
cong Creek at that place. Hunterloa

The Nroanest Man.

Probably the party that wrote the item

man. had not heard Of the man thu, re-
fused to lnild hi4 line fence because he
don't keep stack, nnd compcls his neigh
Dor to build all the fence, or lose the use
If his land.
II the mean man spoken Of was farm
er, probably he did not get the money for
the hay, and 1t may be that i've cents was
all the money be had, and besides that,
the farmer works many hours for less
than five cents an hour.
With regard to the oil or man, many
Bible readers are of the opinion that the
man that refuses to build his line fence,
is included in the Scripture that says,
'Cursed is he that removclh his neighbours
land mark AT all events, he is pretty
