II LODONL q
Woodbury., Sept. q, 1897.

Mr.. Editor.-The above is copy of a
letter sent to each parent represented in
our school.
The plan referred to will not necessitate
many or serious changes, but will go far to-
ward serving the general interests of the
school,
At present several of the teachers are
0Yercrowded with from sixty to seventy
pupils, while others have but from twenty
to thirty, condition that no one is re-
sponsible for as it cannot be remedied
under present grading.
In brief, the plan of organization is this:
To divide the pupils into as many grades
or classes as there are years in the school
course, and then, as far as practicable, to
give each teacher but one grade or class to
teach.
At present there will be three rooms
filled with the first year grade; three with
the second year grade; three with the third
year grade, and two with the fourth year.
Now it is proposed to teach the pupils Of
the first three grades in the schools they
are now attending as nearly as possible.
It will sometimes be necessary, doubtless,
to relieve any one of these lower grade
rooms by taking out small number of
pupils and sending them to the less crowd
ed room, but the convenience of the pupils
will always be considered in doing this as
far as possible.
The fourth year pupils, at present, will
attend the West End and North Woodbury.
schools, the number of pupils of that grade
not being sufficient to fill three rooms.
Should it happen that at any time there
are enough fourth grade pupils to fill three
rooms, even greater convenience than
under present grading will be given to the
pupils.
All pupils after the fourth year will be
brought into the Academy and there finish
the school work.
By this plan the smaller pupils will have
little or no farther to walk; the fourth year
pupils will have slightly increased distances
to walk, but for one year only; and all will
have the privilege of attending the Acad-
envy for the larger part of their school
course.

At recent meeting Of the Board Of Edu-
cation it was resolved to reclassify the
schools under my supervision.
This matter was fully and carefully
deliberated upon from various standpoints
of convenience to pupils and of the advan-
tages to the school system and to the
individual pupils. And while it was recog-
nized that there might be occasional cases
where the pupils might have slightly
greater distances to walk to school, especi-
ally in the fournh school year; it was
believed that the interests of the child
would be SO greatly enhanced in other
directions that this would outweigh in the
minds of the people the much less import
ant matter of slightly lessened convenience.
1t is believed by those who have given
this matter especial study that, by the
proposed plan, the number of pupils in
each department will be kept more uniform;
that the several teachers can better concen-
trate their attention to their classes; that
more uniformly favorable conditions may
be given to each teacher; that uniformity
of work can more nearly be maintained in
corresponding classes; that the number of
different grades in each room can be re-
duced, and that, as consequences. the pupils
advancement will be lore healthful and
rapid
May we not hope in the face of these
looked for advantages that you will aid me
by your cooperation and influence to carry
out the proposed measure of the Board,
even if it should lessen the convenience OF
your children.
The pupils of our city having four build
ings to attend are fortunate in having
shorter distances to walk, even under the
proposed plan, than most school pupils OF
the state-most towns of our population
and even larger having but one central
building Tor the accommodation of all
grades.
The plan will be outlined in the local
papers and in carrying it out as few changes
as possible will be made.
Without assuming too much think
can be permitted to say, for the Board of
Education, that in making their decision
the members were actuated only by an
earnest interest in your children, and that
they belieye that it will result it the
greatest good to the greatest number -
safe principle for the administration Of
public duty that you will approve of.
Faithfully yours,
THEODORE J. GREEN.

Police too Weak.

Last Saturday night, four colord men,
among whom was James Tillman,of Jericoh,
full of whiskey were noisy and abusive on the
street. Officer Dubois tried to pacify, and
quiet them with honey ed words, but this fail
ing he flashed the star of his authority
and demanded silence They laughed at
his star until it lost its twinkle, and when,
reinforced by Osbourne, he tried to arrest
the impudent Tillman, our brave police
force was knocked out, or run out, and the
"coons" remained bosses of the town as
they have always been on Saturday nights
Drowned at Washin ston Park.
John Austrian, Jr., aged II years, en-
ployed as deck hand on the excursion

ran off the gang plank and carried him
with it to the water between the boat and
the pier. He was unable to swim and sank
before assistance could be rendered by the
crew of the steamer.
The Delaware river harbor police boat
crew grappled for the body all day and
finally recovered it about o'clock Mon

ABSURD ERRORS.
Made by Noted Authors, and, Among the
Number, Shakespeare,

Shakespeare anachronisms certain
ly give him the palm for the greatest
number Of mistakes. Some Of them are
also strikiDgly absurd, as, for instance,
the allu,ion TO Cato in Coriolanus, sup
posed TO have been made two centuries
before Cato was born, and the allusion
TO a striking clock in julius Caesar cen
turtles before such "A thing existed.
These may, however, be put down to
CarelCssneSs and the chaotic state OF
chronology in Shakespeare time, and
none Of them are either as absurd or
as indefensible as the error of which
Coleridge was guilty when he married
his immortal Ancient Mariner" with
the lines:
THE horned moon with one bright star
Within the neither tip"
For such an Astronomical monstros-
ity rs this to have been visible. either
the star must have been on the earth
ward side of the moon, or else it must
have Shone through the solid body OF
our satellite. What makes it all the
more absurd is the fact that an educated
man like Coleridge could hardly have
been ignorant of such an elementary
fact as this

Cheap Confederate Money.

ties of confederate bills for 25 cents.
also rare collection of 80 different
bills and shinplasters for only 81" APP
parently the firm has millions of dollars

What a pity that our old fogy consti-
tuition is in the way! But for it the
cheap money advocates in any state
where they have a majority could buy
up this whole confederate outfit and
start i'm business at once. The amount
of prosperity and happiness that could
be extracted from this old paper mine
would depend upon the size (popula-
tom of the state fortunate enough to
secure the monetary outfit.
For instance it would probably give
Nevada more than 81 900 per capita and
would at once transform her from one
of the poorest 20 one Of the wealthiest
of states. Instead Of sagebrush and
prizefghts she would TEEN with gran
aries and warehouses. Down with
constitution which prevents state home
rule in monetary affairs and the mani
fold blessings of cheap money!
