COURTESY TO BE ENFORCED.
Omcers OF Kew Jerseys Industrial School for
Girls Mustn't squnbble.


TRENTON. n. j., Dec. 17.-Concerning tho 70.
cent troubles in the State Industrial School for
Girls. tho investigating committee Of the trus-
tees reported to the board to-day that, aftcr
having Intercepted all the officers employed at
the school. the committee concluded that no
gross violation Of the rules of the institution
had been committed by any officer. although
certain orders Of the principal and matron, OF
no serious character. in reference to tho routine
business of the school. had been seemingly re-
luctantly obeyed; not a single case Of cruelty
WIS established and not a cent of tho States
money was shown TO be misapplied; that certain
officers have been wanting in tho commo cour-
tesies that ought to be observed among ladies
engaged in their several departments. and, as a
consequence, the inmates have been to a certain
extent affected by their behavior. In short, the
whole difficulty arose because these ladies
themselves"
The. trustees decided to visit the industrial
school in u body. call the officers together and
admonish them that any violations OF courtesy
hereafter will be considered n good ground for
severe measures" The visit is to be made next
week. The trouble followed the installation OF
Mrs. Clarence Eylcr as matron, and was said to
be due to jealousy on the part Of old employees
who desired promotion. Stories were circulated
that Mrs. Eylers husband was being supported
by the State. that tho girls at the school were
cruelty treated and punished with strait
jackets and that the States money was being
spent for the personal needs of tho matron.
