HIGH SCHOOL.
The people OF Kearny Township who nave chi-
drsn attending the schools are indignant over the
summary dismissal OF Professor NJ II. Kinsley. as
principal o, the High School. by the new Board OF
Education last Monday night.
Petitions were put in circulation Wednesday de-
manding his reinstatement. and hundreds Of names
have already been signed. The protest Is general in
oil sections OF the township, the usual opinion
being that Professor Kinsey's dismissal after
one years successful administration. would act as
q bar In securing the services OF competent In
structOrs In the future. +. O. Johnson, who was
appointed in Professor Kinsleys place. Is known
personally TO only few people in Kearny. He is
a graduate OF Rutgers college and also OF Johns

year al Amherst College.
Several Of the recently appointed members OF the
Board OF Education have expressed their willing

From the San Francisco Examiner
The California angleworm is not holding its own
with the foreign variety wherever the two come In
contact In this State" remarked Professor q. A.
Treadwell, OF Nevada City. yesterday. The gentle.
man. who is stopping at the Occidental, has made .
study OF angleworms and is fully conversant with
the writings OF Darwin and other scientists as to-
their use In natures plan OF economy. He Is OF the
opinion that DR.. Gustav Essen, OF the Academy OF,
Science In this city. IL greater authority on the
subject than Darwin ever was.
Foreign angle worms" he went on 10 say. got
into California through the medium OF imported
plants and flowers They came In the roots OF
plants There Is not a garden or the neighborhood
OF a garden in the State to-day where transplanted
trees or shrubbery from the Eastern states other
countries have been planted but the foreign worm
has driven out the local variety. Even IN tho
mountain towns where there gardens the local
worm has gone. Now you have 10 go 70 out-of-the-
way places on the mountains. in canyons or on the
desert TO find him. II were compelled TO make .

pretty showing He is either reddish or pinxsh. and
big and healthy looking. He is thicker and longer
and much more active than the Golden States

delicate scientific question as to whether the
foreign worm will serve better purpose In that
direction than the native variety In California %
