JUNIOR MECHANICS KICK.
They Protest Against aoboken,s
Public Italian school.

The action of the Hoboksn Commits
sioner of Public instruction in granting
to the italian residents the use of two
school rooms in Public School No. 8 to
hold an italian evening school, resulted
in three letters being sent to the ComInis-
sion protesting against such action. The
letters were read at a meeting of the
Commission held last night. They were
from Reliable Council No. 1859, Jr. o. U.
A. NJ; Greenville Council, Nc ia, Jr. o.
U. A. NJ, and Admiral Farragut Council,
No. 162, of this city.
The letter from Reliable Council was as
follows
Some time ago our attention was called
by some reputable citizens of Hoboken to
the actions of the Board of School Com
this city the privilege of using room
of a certain school for the purpose of
teaching to the children their native Lam
and | cannot see why they should dis
criminates in any way from the methods
used US In, in this country in giving to the
wish to respect the law of the nation,
want to teach their children in secrecy,
instead of coming right out and bowling
the public schools. Then after refusing
to, send their children to the public
schools sch sd q to be taught the English Ian
the Board if they can teach their chill
dren that which has been selected by
one whose powers to them is paramount
Therefore, at a meeting of Reliable
Council No. 169. held January 20, at the
Council rooms, No. 4l4 Washington street,
It was unanimously carried by $50 of its
to the Honorable Board of School Com
missioners, you being the President, and
ask why the, teaching, OF the italian lam
schools IN the manner and under the cir
cumstances in which it is being done,
can come oft, but only to prove a great
detriment to the country, for instead of
their trying to cultivate their children,
and to teach them the customs and laws
Of the country. they are simply keeping
them in ignorance and stupidity.
Trusting this will be carefully consid-
cred by yOlF and the matter brought before
the Board for immediate action, remain,

Kind Words which Arc Appreciated.


a lottor received fow days ago
from Il friend and subscriber to The
Herald and News in n distant State
from which we copy tho follow
ing, though the letter was not in
tended for publication. Wo appreciate
the kind words contained because wo
know they arc honest and sincere and
come from an unprecedented and unbi-
ascd source, but one who has watched
tho progress of Ncwberry. We take
pleasure IN copying these words be-
cause people who arc in the midst of
success often forget who bore the brunt
and heat of the battle in order to make
success sure.
VI want to congratulate you upon
the results Of your advocacy Of various
projects for the material development
of dear old Nowbcrry I refer to the
water and light plants now building.
10 you more than to any ono man Is
due the credit. l remember we'll that
for several years your paper has stood
prccmincnt for progress, for enlarged
activity, for the upbuilding of your
town and county. What benefits tho
town benefits the surrounding country
and vice versa. At first you seemed to
have championcd hopeless cause, but
by 'cvcrlastingly keeping at it. you have
won the victory and will soon enjoy the
full fruition of your hopes and tho re-
ward of your efforts. You deserve the
well done Of all lovers of progress.
am glad to see Ncwberry forging her
way to the front. While the convcn-
icncc of electricity for Illuminating and
motive purposes is desirable and almost
necessity in this rushing, bustling
evening Of the 10Th century, the advan-
tugcs OF water system, even though
limited as yours must be at present,
cannot be estimated. was agrccablv
surprised at the remarkably low per
ccntum of mortality for the last ten
months as shown by report of your
health officer. | expect to see even
this low rate lowered when the scwcr-
age is perfected and the citizens of
Ncwberry drink pure artcsian water"
We are glad to note this interest in
Ncwberry by Il former resident.
But IL is Il fact wherever the sons of
Ncwbcrry may roam their thoughts al
ways turn to the dear old place. There
is no other like it.
