PRESIDENT CANTOR STIRRED Up.
DETERMINED TO STOP PROJECT TO
ABOLISH GRAMMAR SCHOOL DIPLOMAS.

Borough President Cantor. who has the appoint
ment of inspectors OF the twery-two local boards'
has clashed with the Board OF Educanon over
grammar school diplomas
The board superintendents of the Board OF
Education met day this week and passed
resolution recommending doing away with GER
uffcates, or diplomas. to graduates or grammar
schools of the city. This action by the board or
superintendents has been reported 20 the Board of
Education, which will it at the next meet
ing When President Cantor heard OF the new
yesterday he issued a call for the chafrmen
of the local boards to at his office for to-or-
afternoon at o'clock. He also called up Presl-
dent Birmingham on the telephone.
The board has not taken action on the matter
yet" said Mr. Birmingham. land L haven't heard
of any great howl account of what the board
Of superintendent has done.
We'll. there Will be big howl about it" SAID
Mr.. Cantor, 'and the howl will begin right away,
too
Il understand" said Mr. Cantor TO a Tribune
porter that the board of superintendents give as
a for their action that the grammar school
course is not full public school course and that
no diploma should be given grammar school gradu-
ateS for that reason. 1t seems to me that the ac-
without due consideration of the subject The
grammar school graduates are entitled to diploma
ceedingly large percentage of students of the public
school get no further than the end OF the grammar
school course. The duties of the home and family
call for their assistance soon as they get through
selves betfer Educated than their parents were at
their ages and they drop out of school to go
work in the offices and factories in order to help
along with the bread winning.
rs it right proper to withhold from these boys
and girls the diploma that they have been looking
forward receiving? 1t isn't great thing for the
city TO give them but 1t lot to them.
ticuary If they do not return TO school In fact. it
is event in their lives, an event, moreover.
with precious and tender fecollections in after life.
For this reason If for other. all the grammar
school graduates should receive certificates, or
diplomas, as usual. l have summoned the chair
of the local boards to meet at my Office on
Thursday because L am determined that at gradua-
ton the students shall receive certificates as usual
Some way must be provided for issuing them.
The time may be pretty short, considering that
the superntendents have decided that it is not wise
give out the certificates but the teachers doubt
less will be able 10 make out the certificates as

FOR ITS RIGHTS.

Asbury Park. June tSpeclaD.-Mayor Bradley at
last nights session OF the Board of Aldermen
again attacked the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting
Association and championed the Independence of
Asbury Park. Referring to Ocean Groves refusal
to Sunday trains. he said;
Things have changed since the compact made
with the railroad company not to stop trains in
Aebury Park the Sabbath Twenty-Five years
they required tickets to get into Ocean Grove
on Sunday. They have tickets now. twenty
FIVE years ago the Ocean Grove dominies would
have raised their hands in horror AT the Morgan
concerts. Asburv Park has grown to be an indie
pendent city. and I say II Is simply preposterous
that thirteen ministers and thirteen laymen should
pass laws and resolutions setting forth what As
bury Park should not have or do. For time
favored a compromise and the stopping of trains at
North Asbury Park the Sabbath. Now say go
for the Sunday train and have 1t stop where you
please We should show manhood and stand
