Elsewhere will be found a notice
Of a School Directors Convention to
be held here be-
ON4' 11-' AO-' Der 9TH. The act
makes it the duty of each director
to attend and provides that the
school districts shall bear the neces
sary expenses. The act is new and
this will be the first convention Of
its kind ever held here. The Office
Of school director is of much greater
Importance than is too commonly
attached to it, either by the official
or the people. In the hands of the
directors is placed the management
and care Of the schools and this in
cludes the employing of proper and
capable teachers and assumes on
the part of the officer an ability to
judge of those qualifications and to
do so without fear or favor, Tho
educational interests of his district
are in his hands and TO his manage
ment of this important trust de-
pends in large measure the knowl-
edge or ignorance of the rising gen
Grafton. Most children, especially
in the rural districts, complete their
education in the common schools
and if parents are so careless or in
different as to aid in electing direct
ors who are also careless or indiffer-
ent as to the schools how can they
justify themselves to their children
and the public. Time wasted is
gone forever and the child in future
years perhaps looks back and keenly
regrets his misspent hours. If he
can fairly attribute part at least of
this to his teacher how much keener
must this regret be and why should
not the parent and director be in
cluded in his sorrowfui upraidings.
Directors should attend this con-
vention and seek to gain higher
ideas of the Importance of their
duties to the rising generation.

place between 10 and ! O'Clock
Wednesday evening The young
ladies had been attending a reeep.
tion at Port Jervis and soon after
10 started for home, They signaled
the boat, a 16 foot long affair, which
carries passengers across the river
just above the site of Barret bridge
and manned by John Deckley and
John Altman, it went across for
them. The boat with the four oc-
cupants started back and when only
short distance from shore Altman
and Deckley attempted TO turn the
bow up stream to catch the current
by means Of a wheel on which the
rope to the cable is wound. The
rope being frozen the arrangement
refused to work and the rope finally
slipped FROM the drum which
brought the boat at right angle
with the swift water, pulled it deep
under the surface, swept the occu-
pants out and ali four were carried
down stream. An alarm was given
and many quickly assembled but
not in time to save the girls who,
after floating a short distance, were
drowned Deckley came in contact
with a portion OF the Barrett bridge,
which is still fast to the cables,
caught hold and was soon rescued
by a boat. Altman swan ashore
landing on the New York side.
Miss Gebhardt was a daughter of
Nicholas and Magdalena Gebhardt
and was a sister-in.law of Martin
Leicht.
Miss Schumacher was a daughter
Of John and Mary Schumacher and
was born in Matamoras.
The girls were intimate friends,
both worked at the same place in
Port Jervis and both were active
members of the Lutheran church
and League.

New Jersey seems TO be taking
active steps towards securing free
- bridges between that
naraa,a state n Pennsyl-
vania This is in the
right direction. All toll bridges are
to an extent an increased local tax
on comparatively small portion Of
the community. Take this valley
for instance. There can be no COM
munication with markets or stores
in a neighboring state without the
payment Of a tax from which other
sections Of the state are free. Those
bridges arc in the nature Of dis.
crimination against interstate trade
and the tolls are hardship bearing
on few inhabitants Of the adjoin-
ing states. tt would be only
equitable to make these toll bridges
across the Delaware free. Our state
is building bridges across small
streams Ia the interior because they
happen at some remote time when
conditions were very different from
now to have been made by legisla-
tive act navigable. Probably over
half million dollars viii be spent
in this work which viii relieve to
that extent a very few counties.
Pennsylvania has i've counties Dor
dering on the Delaware, New Jersey
four and New York three which are
directly affected by these toll bridges
and the claims Of the inhabitants Of
these counties to be relieved Of extrs
taxation should be favorably regard
cd Our member from this county
should be induced to take some
interest in the matter
