BOARD OF EDUCATION
The Mayor Vetoes the Buy
ing of Costly Books for
Principals.

The Board Of Education met last even
ing, ten members being present. The alb
sentees were Directors Lewis. Mooney
and Quinn. The resignation Of Miss Edith
NJ. Hammond as teacher in the Primary
Department of School Nc. 3 was accepted.
Miss Estelle Robertshaw thanked the
Board in a very polite note for her ap-
pointment as teacher in School No. 10 A
printed circular from the Department Of
School Administration Of the National
Educational Association, requesting the
appointment by this Board, in common
with all other Boards of Education, of
a special committee to present for con-
sideration at the next meeting of the AS
ISOLATION, to be held in July next, three
such topics as may seem most expedient
and timely, was received and referred
for future action.
The following communication from the
Mayor, vetoing a resolution ordering pay
ment for certain books, was received and
laid over until the next meeting:-
Jersey city. n. j.. Oct. 5, 1895.
To the Honorable Board of Education:-
Gentlemen herewith return to your
Honorable Board, without my approval,
the resolution passed at the meeting held
September Is, 1898, and Of which the cn-
closed IS 4 certified COPY, ! nave tdSASu
this action for the following easons:-The
Board OF Finance annually appropriates a
large sum of money for books stationery
and supplies. Last year the sum was
SIS. Oe9, SO that every child. as nearly as
possible, might be supplied with the ne
cessary implements of learning. | am
quite sure that the law compelling the
city to furnish these supplies did not
contemplate, under existing circunl-
stances, the furnishing Of such costly
books for the use of the Principal as sets
called Historic Characters and Famous
Events costing S35. While I was aSlnem-
Der of the Board of Education | learned
that the amounts appropriated for the
were appportioned according to
the number of pupils. Now, by purchas-
ing such costly books, the amount for
other supplies, such as readers. pencils,
pads and other stationery, would suffer,
Inc appropriation for that purpose being
decreased so much, thus compelling chill
dren to call upon their parents for money
to buy what should be furnished by the
city.

In the death of Major Moses P. Handy,
at Augusta, Ga, on last Saturday, the
press loses one of it's most brilliant orna-
ments. Though Missourian by
birth, Virginia, whose adopted son
he became early in life. has al
ways been proud 10 claim him as
one of her most distinguished and tai
ented newspaper men. The news of
Major Handy's death will come with es-
pecial sadness to the Richmond press, as
it WAS on the columns of the Dispatch
that he began that rhetoric newspaper
career which was eventually to lead up
to positions of honor on ths staff of
some of our most widely known journals,
such as the Tribune ami the Chicago
Times Herald His death was no doubt
directly due to over taxing of his strength
while in Paris, where he had been sent
some two years ago, as special commits
sioner of the United States to al range for
the part co 5e. borne by this country In
the great exposition to be held in 1900.

position and one of those natures to at
tract to him Il host of personal friends.
No death that has occurred in the ranks
of the news paper men for years, will be
more sincerely regretted by larger num-
