WOULDlHAVE CITY
DIVIDED INTO NEW
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
Superintendent SN asks the Board of Education TO arrange the
System that all Pupils Living Vicinity of Certain School
Must Attend There Matter Referred to Teachers Committee.
Miss Jennie Gibbons Resigns as Teacher

At the meeting of the Board of
Education. last night, Superintendent
S. E. Shull brought up the matter of
changing the school districts OF the
city.
cat the beginning of every school
term he said, 1--WE have applications
for more places in the schools than
we can accommodate. A number of
the pupils come to school only for the
first few months then they drop out
In regards to the High school many
come simply to say that they have
been students there. l would recon-
mend that the city be divided into
new districts so that all pupils living
near certain school should be COM
PEELED to go to that school. "
The board talked this matter over
and it was finally decided to leave it
to the Teachers Committee who will
probably do as Mr.. Shull suggested.
In speaking about the new school
No. 6, Mr.. Shull said he thought it
would be advisable to appoint the
new principal from the first school
day whether the new building was
finished or not as then he could help
along with several other things that
were necessary This suggestion was
adopted. Z
Two more applications were re-
ceived for the janitorshlp of School
No. 6. One from Marcus Schantz Jr.,
and the other from Wilbur Durrua, of
Brighton avenue. Miss Emma Shul-
loft, of Woodbridge, graduate of the
State Normal school, and Miss Flora
Harner, or Burlington, also graduate
of the State Normal school, applied
for the position of teachers in the
primary department. when vacancy
occurred. The Board ordered all of
these application placed on file.
The resignaf fon of Miss Jennie Glib
bons was received and accepted.

North Amboy Man Taken Into Gus

Excitement.

Policeman John Huff arrested John
Benesh who lives near the q. W.

Benesk chased Policeman John
Mesh1ow with an axe a few days ago,
when that officer was accompanying
Mrs. Benesk home so that she could
secure some clothing which she
claimed her husband held and would
not let her have. She had left the
place because, she declared, she
could not live with him. She asked
for police protection when she re-
turned and Meshrow was sent to ac-
company her. When the husband ap-
peared with an axe, however, things
were different and the policeman left
the scene without delay.

Three errors by the locals gave the
Orange players their four runs. III
the first inning Bassford fed off with
a hit. Then Smith hit what was
meant to be sacrifice to Lindeman.
The latter got the ball with lots OF
time to nip the runner at first, but he
threw a mile over Galvin's head into
the carriages and Bassford scored,
leaving Smith on third whence he
Tailed on Dietrick's safety.
After the first inning Lindeman
settled down and pitched admirably
during the remainder of the game,
having the unusual number of four
teen strike-outs to his credit.
The visitors got their last run in
the eighth when with two out, Calvin

PLANS TO KILL THE
MOSQUITOES ALONG
THE RARITAN RIVER.
Professor Smith Called at the Eteng News Office This Morn
ing and Exhibited Maps Showing Mosquito Breeding Territory
and General Scheme to Clear the Area of the Pes-Mooev
Wanted and how Fund May be Raised

Professor J. B. Smith, of New
Brunswick, came to Perth Amboy this
morning, bringing with him maps
of the territory along the Raritan
river and his plan for clearing the
same of mosquitoes. He called at the
Evening News Office where he ex-
Dlained his scheme in detail.
Professor Smith has mosquito ex-
termination sifted down to a plain
business proposition. His maps show
in detail the proposed area where
mosquitoes breed and the ditching
necessary to drain this area. He
shows the length and depth of the
bitches and distance apart they must
be.
His scheme is to afford permanent
relief and these bitches once dug will
last for many years. Professor Smith
argues that this is a matter affecting
the whole county and every city,
borough and township should con-
tribute toward the general fund to do
the work. He says there are about
267, $50 feet of ditching necessary op-
posite Sayreville. This tract is the
worst breeding place in the county.
Further down the river on the South
Amboy side $4,000 feet is necessary,
and on the Perth AmboY side 47,1Sd
feet is necessary. A great deal Of thi|
can be done by a machine, Aeuch as
now working on the Newark kmeadoy
at one cent foot. OtherS ditct
will have to be done by hal
fessor Smith estimates the -
at about $1,000. No harm W. :
done to salt hay, he declares it is
really improved. The mosquitoes, to
breed, must have water and with the
meadows drained they dry up in the
sun and the mosquitoes never hatch.
Professor Smith will endeavor to
interest the municipalities in this
vicinity. A map will be on file in
the News Office within a short time
showing the proposed work.

MOSQUITOES HARD TO KILL.
EggH That Have Been Deposlted in
Ponds That Dry Up Live for
Many Months.

DR.. T. w. Dupree, who mas been max
ing investigation Of mosquitoes in
Louisiana, has reported to the Louis
lana Society of Naturalists hat he has
found that the eggs of mosquitoes
often hatch months after they are laid,
especially if they are deposited in
ponds which subsequently dry up, re-
ports the New York Sun.
The conclusion reached by DR.. Du-
pree is that the methods which have
been used in getting rid of the mosqui-
toes by oilipg or otherwise treating
the ponds during March and April,
when the eggs are supposed to be
Matching, are productive of little BEN
eft, as the Matching is going on all
the time.
DR.. Duprec found "a varieties of
mosquitoes i'll Louisiana ponds, most
of them in the same ponds. The spc-
cies vary from year to year, some va
rictics being abundant one year and
others the next.
