Local taxes may be assessed for cur
rent expenses, for school buildings and
for any other purpose connected with
the public schools of the district.
Moneys received by the school dis
tricts from the funds above mentioned,
except local tax, can be used only for
teachers salaries and fuel, and are ap-
portioned as follows: For each Super
vising Principal, 5000; for each teacher,
5000, and the balance on the total days
attendance of all the pupils enrolled in
the public schools of the district during
the year. In order to encourage the
consolidation of the schools in the rural
districts and the establishing of graded
schools, 5000 is apportioned to each dis
trict which closes a small school and
transports the pupils to another school,
thereby dispensing with the services of
a teacher This apportionment made
annually as long as the pupils are trans
ported. This provision has been the
means of closing a number of schools
which had an average attendance of
fifteen or less, and, in addition to giving
such pupils far better school advan-
tages, has resulted in substantial tinan-
cial saving to the districts.
The number of school houses in the
State is ,S75, and the number of class
rooms 6,408, providing accommodations
for 80, 1923 pupils. The value of the

Card and Mary Romine.

Perhaps the scenes of other years will
never be repeated in Parsippany; the
town meetings on the green opposite the
cemetery. where the opposing candi-
dates made speeches and the people
voted by lining up with their favorites;
the general trainings on the 4th of
July; the drilling of soldiers in the old
store building that stood on the corner
where Mr.. Webb store now stands !;
the camp meetings IN Deacon DeHart's
woods; the quarterly meetings lasting
three days, beginning at 8 a. M, and
continuing until late at night. Times
change, but God changes not. His
power is the same yesterday, to-day and
forever: If the unwritten history shows
the infinite harm that may result from
the failure of an unworthy servant, it
also shows, in very many cases, the
good that may result from the conse-
Grated life of faithful one.
The wish and prayer of the historian
is that the holy fire may still burn in
many hearts, and that the future may
reveal, even more than the past has done,
the workings of Gods power in the
hearts of the people of Parsippany.
