School Trustees Say the
Trouble Is Due to a Lack of Courtesy.
Special to .eTne Jersey city News.''1

Especial to ''Tne Jersey City News.'1
TRENTON, Dec. IS, 1S97.-The Investi
CATION Committee of the Trustees OF thu
State Industrial School for Girls yester-
day reported to the Board it's findings
concerning the recent troubles at ina
institution. The report is given below
None of the Trustees would speak further
concerning the matter, but 1T is under
stood that the admonition which is to bt
given will include all officers of the IN
~stitution, from the matron down. Iht
trouble appears to have grown out OF tht
resentment of subordinates at what they
regard as an attempt to enforce rules
and restrictions to which they a no
been accustomed during Matroh NC
Fadden'S time. The report OIL the COIL
mittee follows
To the Trustees of the State Industrial
School for Girls
The Committee of the Whole, duly
appointed on the 10th day of Novem-
Der. 1897, to investigate certain charges
preferred by the Principal and Matron,
would respectfully report:-
Tha they met, at the school, on
Frida evening, November 26, 1891,
and continued in session until a
thorough examination of the officers
had been made.
Every employee from whom it was
dvise that any information could be
derived TO Sulde US, WAS Carefully dAu
fully Intercepted.
From the testimony submitted your
committee nave reached the following
conclusions
LIST. That no gross violations of the
rules of the institution had been COM
mitted by any officer. although GER
tain orders of the Principal and
Matron, of no serious character, in
reference to the routine business of
the school, had been seemingly re-
luctantly obeyed. Not a single case of
cruelty was established, and not cent
of the States money was shown to be
m~isapplied.
I'd. That certain officers have been
wanting in the common courtesies that
ought to be observed among ladies
engaged in their several departments;
and, as a consequence the inmates
have been, to a certain extent, AFFECT
ed by their behavior.
In short, the whole difficulty arose
because these ladies neglected The
plain rules of politeness among them
selves.
Your committee, therefore, submit
these facts only, and leave the deter
inatio of the matter to the judg-
ment of the Trustees.
The Trustees adopted the report, and
resolved to visit the school, call the Off
GERS together, and admonish them that
any violations of courtesy hereafter
will be considered a good ground for
severe measures.
