FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1904.

one of the most interesting and in
structive lectures that has ever been
given in Perth Amboy. Frank M.
Chapman spoke on "Birds," illustrat'
ed in q manner that brought the real
ism of nature forcibly before his
hearers. Such lectures are q credit to
any community. The Teachers Asso-
citation, under whose auspices the
lecture was given, spared no expense
to secure the best and it's efforts are
appreciated. A course Of lectures by
such men of authority as Mr.. Chap
man is O liberal education for any city
and Perth Amboy would be greatly
benefited by more of them. 1t is safe
to say that more than one person left
the auditorium last night with inter
est aroused IN the study of birds and
they will probably pursue tho subject
further. Such lectures tend to uplift
the intellectual standard of a commun-
ity and, while acknowledging The
debt the city owes tie Teachers Asso-
citation for the course this winter, it
is to be hoped that it will see its way
clear to offer q still MORE elaborate,
but just as highly instructive course
next season.

WE'RE THEY Prepared 2

The action of the Board OF Educa-
tion, Tuesday night, in reducing the
school year to nine months and COM
rclling children to buy their W sup
plies, has aroused n great deal OF pub
lie discussion. 1t is the general opin-
ion that such o thing should not be
allowed to occur and some declare
that they can prove that the Board OF
Education has ample funds to run the
schools during the year without cut
ting down the term to nina months.
The discussion has also brought out
the statement from some of the mem
bers of the Board of Estimate that the
representatives of the Board of Educa-
ito in that board offered no reason
why the proposed appropriation should
not be cut as IL was. 1t is said that
h NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the mem
bers from the School Board to sh CIV
why more than $s9, 800 should be ap-
propriated. but there was no reason
given. Even when the vote was
taken, 1t Is said, one of the mem
bers from the School Board voted for
the appropriation as made. II this
be SO, it would seem to be up to the
Board OF Education to explain why
they did not insist on their demands,
showing detailed statements to back
requests. II this was not done the
School Board were not prepared to
meet the aldermen.
The fact remains, however, that In
cities throughout the State the appro-
priation for schools in proportion to
the population is far ahead of Perth
Amboy. 1t is to be regretted that the
present state of affairs exists.
