The New School Law,


The Salem Sunbeam, whose editor is the
capable County Superintendent of Schools
of Salem county, makes the following
summary of the new school law:
The amendments to the school law,
adopted by the Legislature, are revolu-
tionary. All school districts are wiped
out, and in their stead township boards
of trustees are provided for Each board
is to consist of nine members and they
are to be elected on the third Tuesday in
March of each year the trustees first
elected dividing by lots into three classes,
one each for one, two or three years, and
annually thereafter there shall be three
trustees elected. These trustees have the
power to elect a president and clerk,
the latter acting as district clerk for all
schools in the township. The present
boards of trustees are legislated out of
office on the first day of July next, and
the county superintendent is required to
call an election in each township at some
convenient place, of which due notice
must be given, for the election of the first
set of trustees for the townships. This
election must be held within thirty days
after the law takes effect, which will be
on the first of July.
These trustees bave all the powers and
duties of the old trustees Each board
| has the power to fix the compensation OF
the clerk, and as some of these clerks
will have several schools to look after the
salary will doubtless be fixed in proper
ton, and the position made one to be
sought after
| All property ofthe several school dis
tricts Of the township is consolidated and
the title thereto held in the name of the
/ 4 a
legations of the several districts, whether
secured by bonds or otherwise, shall be
assumed by and shall become the obliga
lions and debts OF the consolidated dis
tricts.
Each city, borough and incorporated
town IS made a district by itself, unlesI
the legal voters of such municipality vote
to consolidate with the township board
a meeting specially called for that pur
pose.
One provision of the new law is a gooC
one. Since the district lines were estab
hshed, years ago in many cases, new
roads have been opened, population ha
, shifted, and for other reasons 1t is often
times desirable for property owner t
have his property in some district othe
than the one he is in according to tn
boundaries, in order that his children o
his tenants children may attend schoo
more conveniently. To change th
boundaries of districts under the old sya
tenn involved lot of red tape and some
times caused opposition, some of II prope
: and some of it wrong. Under the new
, J, law boundaries will not have to be chang
ed Children living remote from tn
school in the district in which they re
, side, may attend the school nearest in al
: adjoining district by obtaining the writ
ten consent Of the county superintendent
who files copy of such written consen
with the clerk of the district in whic
the child resides, and another with tn
: clerk of the district where the child is /

of the school census shall be paid over
for the benefit of the district in which
such child attends school.
The County superintendent is to appor-
ton the school money as follows: lst
He shall apportion to each district sum
equal to two hundred dollars fer each
teacher employed in the public schools
/ for such district for the full time for which
the schools in such districts were main
tanned the preceding year. I'd. lie shall
apportion to each district one-half OF the
remainder of the school moneys belong
| ing to his county on the basis of the ag-
gregate attendance of all the children en-
rolled in the school registers as ascer-
tanned from the last published report of
the State Superintendent Sd. He shall
apportion to each district the balance OF
the money belonging to his county on the
basis of the last public school census.
This wipes out the old $275 and 1915
provision. Some schools will fare well
under this division, while others will not
do so well.
One of the first things to be done by
the new trustees will be TO order a dis
trict tax in each district in the township
under their charge, to provide for free
text books. As the books now in hand
may still be used, it will only be neces-
sary to buy new books as the pupils need
them. But books to teach the effect of
alcohol and narcotics on the human sys-
tenn must be purchased and ready for the
opening of schools in September.
The provisions of the school law, that
no contract made by the Board of Trus-
tees shall be binding upon a succeeding
board for a longer period than three
months, is still in force This will neces-
state the reelection of teachers in coun-
try schools by the new boards.
