The Teachers Committee made the
following report, which was adopted:
The committee instructed to investigate
the system Of substitute work in the
schools, have carefully looked into all the
phases of this department, and would
recommend that if teacher is away
from duty on account of sickness
or excused absence, she forfeits enough
OF her salary to pay the substitute
should the absence continue longer than
three days. Then the pay of such teacher
ceases until she resumes her duties.
When teacher acts as substitute, who
has had experience in the school room,
she shall receive one dollar and fifty
cents per day. Should substitute work
be done by an experienced teacher,
then the pay shall be at the rate of one
dollar per day.
The Teachers Committee was in
structed to secure Latin teacher at
salary not to exceed S425 year.
The recommendation of the Supervisor,
relative to the purchasing of book covers,
was concurred.
Mr.. Cox reported that the instructions
of the Board relative to printed bills for
janitors' salaries, had been carried out.

one who would be attractive must keep

A Bold Attempt at kidnapping Was
FOiled,

"A AsOAu AttChhPt At0uopluk WAS
FOiled.
VINELAND, N. June 14.-A crowd of
small children were playing about 9
O'Clock last night, at Sixth and Landis
avenue, when a covered wagon dashed
down Sixth street, and stopped suddenly
after turning corner into Elmer street.
Residents seated on porches saw man
alight, and creep along in the shadow of
trees, toward the children. His approach
was discovered by one of the youngsters,
and the crowd Immediately scattered, at
the same time screaming frantically.
The man carried gunny sack, and
made lunge for one of Mrs. Moncrief,s
little girls, but his designs were foiled by
little Willie Creach, who ran headlong
between them, in his efforts to escape.
The man then grabbed young Creaeh by
the neck. but before he could make away
with the boy, Mrs. Creach rushed from
her house, and the would be kidnaper re-
treated on a run toward his confederate.
who was waiting with the team around
the corner.
E"There he goes! Catch the bruter'
cried Mrs. Creach, as ste ran after the
man, at the head of crowd ef men and
small boys.
Hearing the excitement, the driver
whipped up his horse, and his companion
finally managed to reach and crawl into
the wagon. Mrs. Creach says she be-
lieves the mans intention was to kidnap
one of the little girls. Officers are work
ing on the case, but without much hope
OF success. owing to the meagre descrip-
ton given of the man, because of the
darkness.

PUBLIC SCHOOL EXHIBIT.
Pupils Work Shown at the Bank Street
High School.

IA6h CChOOis
The annual exhibit of the work of the
public school pupils was shown Thurs
day afternoon and last night. Owing to
the intense heat in the afternoon the at
tendance was not as large as it would
otherwise have been, but last night, after
the shower. the temperature was much
more pleasant. and many people we're
present to inspect the work. There were
nine grades represented In the assembly
rooms, while part of the ninth, the
tenth, eleventh and twelfth were in two
of the class rooms.
The extire exhibit was very attractive
and illustrated the earnest, careful indus
try of both pupils and teachers during
the year.
There were the usual number of speci-
mems for natural history, beautiful speci-
mems in botany, most of them being of
our own native wild plants and flowers.
There were pretty chalk drawings on the
boards drawn by the pupils, with papers
on geometry, physics, algebra, physi.
ology. all profusely illustrated.
In the Assembly room there was the
usual amount of color pertaining to art
lessons, which was very attractive. The
clay work of the primary department
was very interesting, There were draw
ings on physiology, history and from nat
ure, all of which showed neatness and care
as well as skill. particular feature in
upper grammar and High School grades
were pen and ink drawings upon his
torical subjects. Ability and talent were
marked in every line. There were papers
upon all subjects that had been taken up
during the year.
A most marked Improvement was
noticed in the exhibit of penmanship
through every grade. 1t was largely
due to the vertical system of writing
recently introduced. The papers of very
little tots were marvels of neatness.
On the whole, the work displayed re
fected great care aud painstaking on the
part of both teachers and pupils, and
marks, the school year just closed as one
of great success and advancement.

Senator Stokes There were many candi.
dates for the position.
The appointments were expected yes
terday and the three Commissioners were
in Bridgeton and received their Com.

bonds with Judge Trenchard, who ap-
proved them. The Commissioners had
meeting yesterday afternoon and Mr..
Riley was elected President.

ment of Superintendent, at salary of
$1,000 year. and under the provisions of
the act will be Secretary of the Commits
sion. The Commissioners will have an
other meeting to-day at Port Norris.

cism, being men well known in the COM
munity, and Messrs. ogden and Sites
have for years been engaged widely in
the oyster business.
The Commission intend to proceed,
with the assistance of the Superintendent.
to control the oyster business, looking to-
ward the propagation of the bivalves, and
giving it better protection even than in
the past.
Mr.. Austin was seen yesterday after
noon, and said that he would give up his
position in the Internal Revenue Office.
and give his whole attention to the
oyster business. The headquarters of the

| Oyster Commission held meeting here
Saturday, but what was done is not made
| public.
The Commission has much work to do
to get in shape to take control of the great
oyster industry. and it is quite likely
that frequent meetings will be held.
There is considerable anxiety manifested
among the oyster planters and boat own
ers as to what will be done, and there is
hope that the matters may soon be ar
ranged so that the growers will know
what they can depend upon.
1t is understood that the commission
elected two special officers to protect the
oysters in the cove, Capt. Hammett Lake,
OF Port Norris, and James Boyle, of Mill
vile. Both ofthese gentlemen have been
employed in like capacity for the old
Maurice River Cove and Delaware Bay
Association.
1t is also understood that former Prose-
cutor, William A. Logue, of Bridgeton,
has been selected as legal adviser for the
commission,

geon, six miles below this city, this af-

the cross roads to go to Baileytown the

searched the Doctor and found pocket

revolvers to scare his horse. The robbers
escaped to the woods. Bentiy thinks the
