township has not been opened thus far
| this year, and the Board of Education is
patiently awaiting the arrival of County
Superintendent Stees for discussion of
the matter. For long time the taxpay-
ers of Westampton have been very indif-
ferent about their schools, and have re-
fused to appropriate sufficient money to
properly conduct them. At the last school
meeting there were not enough people
present to properly organize consequent

ton people want Northampton to take
their children in the schools here, but that
will not be done unless the other town
ship makes some arrangements for the re-
Enumeration of Northampton.
