In last weeks issue of the Paulsboro
Press, Editor Leonard essays to give the
school conditions as they exist at Swedes-
boro, to the effect that as new school
house was needed, and as the School Board
refused to act in the matter, the women
had taken it in hand and a petition cir
culated was signed by large number Of
them Further, that the petition was pre-
scented to the School Board, and rejected
because several women signed it, and that
then an appeal was made to State Supt
Baxter, who decided in favor of the women.
Well, we read the article with considerable
surprise, not to say CONSERVATION, for were
not we reporter and supposed to know
what was going on in our own town, es-
pecially among the women? So we started
ont to Investigate, and on interviewing the
members of the Board, learned that no such
petition had ever been presented to them,
Dor had they heard Of it except through the
Press Editor Leonard has evidently got
ten Swedesboro mixed up with some other
school district However, the fact remains
that our public school Is overcrowded and
our School Board is wrestling with the
question of a new school house, which
sooner or later will have to come.
