EXPECTS GOOD
YEARS WORK
Professor Twitmyer Busy Pre-
pairing for Coming Session
of School
THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR ALL

Professor George w. Twitmyer, SUI
perintendent of Public Schools. pre-
diets a successful years work in the
various public schools throughout the
city. The coming term viii begin to-
morrow week and n fun attendance is
expected.
When seen by a reporter of the
Evening Journal this morning. Pro-
fessor Twitmyer said that he had spent
part of the summer IN revising the
elementary course of study in the
| High School and planning for a sue
cessf1l years work in all grades
with the hearts and means of the
community and the assistance of the
teachers to back me / am confident of
good years work" said the super
intendent.
THE parents of pupils can be OF
great assistance TO us by exacting Of
their children strict attention to home
studies We rely much on tsis help
and hope that we may be able to say
at Che end of next term that our wishes
were realized With this respect.
Unless The Board Education adopts
the new system of teaching i'm the High
school which is at present under con-
sideration, there will be no change Of
grades. II the new system which pro-
vides for a three year business course,
four year term and college prepar-
action course is adopted, however,
there win be some change made in
the fifth and sixth grammar grades.
NO additional teachers win be en-
gagged and as several parochial schools
have been or VIII open shortly, there is
no fear of there being insufficient seat
ing room for all who will enroll.
superintendent Twitmyer thinks the
Board Of Education should provide for
a supervisor OF drawing. Miss Mary
iF. Isaminger. who held the position
previous TO the closing of the schools
for the vacation period resigned to
accept a more lucrative place i'm Or
ange. n. J., and as a result the Board
iof Education decided to do without the
services of a drawing instructor.
It seems, according to some of the
teachers, that after having employed a
supervisor of drawing for two years,
il is wrong to do away with the posi-
tion and they think that it should un-
doubtedly be carried on. Some action
to this effect may be taken by the
Board of Education as a number OF
leligible candidates haya oade applica-
tion for the position.

Dear Sir:
In August of last year the branch of

policy. which was duly issued and has
proven entirely satisfactory IN every
respect. Since taking out the policy I
have saved S6S19, part Of which stands
TO my credit on the books Of your Of
flee. and the balance has been applied
toward the payment OF premium on
policy.
Realizing as I do the great advan-
tages offered by this department, /
freely recommend il to my friends and
win call their special attention to the
clause in Savings Bank Contract
which allows them 4 per cent. interest
