It is likely that the matter will come
before the next Quarterly Conference of
the Bridgeton district. 1t will be neces-
sary, however, for some one TO make a
specific charge against the offending

would appoint a COMMITTEES to take it up,

THE GERMAN SCHOOL.
Preparations Complete For It's
Opening Next Week.

The school committee of the Greenville
Turn verein met Saturday night at Turn
Hall. Danforth e Three new MEM
bers were appointed on the committee.
It was decided to open the Germanssc hool
Saturday. September Q, and the turning
school "Wednesday. September 8. The
German school will be composed OF tnve
classes. Two classes will be for children
who have some knowledge of the IAN
guage. Instruction in the rudiments OF
the language will be given in the other
three grades. The society will furnish
the necessary writing material free OF
charge, but a small sum will be charged
for a German grammar. The cost OF
tuition will be IS cents per month, but
should a pupil desire to be Instructed in
both German n athletics a reduction OF
IS cents will be made, which will make
the cost 40 cents per month.
Professor F. w. Peters, Mrs. F. W.
Peters and Miss Maria Peters will act as
instructors. TIL committee is preparing
circulars setting forth the advantages and
objects of the school. Application blanks
are also being prepared and will be ready
next week. In speaking of the school
project, Mr.. Otto Weisz-Hamburger. the
president, said that the object was TO
teach the German language to children
who are not in a position to pay a large
price for tuition. It is hardly expected
that the amount paid for tuition will pay
the expenses of the school, but the society
will be perfectly satisfied to make up the
difference, until the school can be estab-
lished on a paying basis
There were one hundred and twenty
regular attendants of the school previous
to its closing last June, and 1t is expected
that the membership will be Increased to
at least two hundred before the expiration
of the ensuing term. The school COM
mittae is devoting considerable time and
energy to the project, which it has reason
to believe will eventually become a per-
manent institution. An evening class for
adults will probably be formed in the
near future.
DR.. Joseph Funk, who has for some
time been connected with the Elizabeth
master, in the place of Mr.. George
Walters, who recently resigned. DR..
Funk comes well recommended, and it is
expected that under his supervision a new
system of training will be introduced,
which will increase the popularity of the
turning school.

The letter from Trenton, which is print
ed in another column of his issue of THE
Jersey City News" exposes as glazing a
piece of hypocrisy as the Republican
party has ever been guilty Of. In those
good old days when the Democrats were
in power and gave this State an honest,
straightforward and economical adminis-
~tration, It so happened that a large ma
jority of the member of the judiciary
were Of that persuasion politically. This
used TO move the Republicans tremen-

ror as they smote their breasts n be-
walled such wickednesses. only give us

claimed. "and we win stop such political
corruption. We win give you a non-par-
tisan Judiciary, which will greatly tend to
purify the State"
In the i~nscrutable ways Of Providence
the Republicans prayer was
