PATERSON LOST
The Court Of Errors Decides
Against the City in the
Damage Suit for
100000

Special to ''The Jersey city News.")
TRENTON. July 6, 1905.-The Court
OF Errors and Appeals yesterday decided
against the city of Paterson on the see
ond dtmurrer fled by the city to the
damage suit brought by Henry W. Dore-
mus, Mayor of Newark, and 4S other
complaints, all land owners along Dun
dee Lake, for polluting the Passaie
River with sewerage. The damage
claimed is over 100000.
The complainants asked that the dam
age be assessed against Paterson, brr
the city demurred to the bill, attacking
the right Of the compliments to bring
the action. This demurrer was overruled
by Vice Chancellor Stevens and when
carried to the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals that court reversed the Vice Chan
eellor on the ground that there had been
misjoinder of complainants. The high
est court admitted the right to bring and
maintain the action, but held that it was
forced to put them out of cour because
some of the compliments had not estab-
lished rights of action.
The complainants then filed new bin
amended in accordance with the decision
Of the court OF errors and appeals. This
was promptly attacked by Paterson on
two grounds: First. that Passaic polIu-
ton act of 1903 established bar against
the acton in providing for a sewerage
distr {; and, second, that four Of the.
complainants had no right of action in
the suit because the property they claim
ed had been damaged was in their re-
spective wives names.
The chancery decision on the first point
Of the demurrer. was that under the act
of 1908, referred to. there was not estab-
lished a bar to the right of riparian
owners whose lands are below the point
Of pollution, and that this act did not
work against the right of injunction
against or compensation from Paterson.
The decision on the other point of the
demurrer was that the four complainants
referred to had no rights in the suit. on
the ground claimed, because there being
no issue they had not the right of cour-
tesy as guardians of offspring.
This last decision of chancery was the
one affirmed yesterday, and the decision
means that Paterson must now answer
the suit and proceed to court on the
merits of the case. In announcing the
decision, Chief Justice Gummere said
he would file an opinion in few days.

new FIREHOUSES
Legal Department. Discovers
That the Finance Board
Must Build Them
Blizzard Reminder

The City's legal department has dis
covered that fire houses must be erected
by the Finance, Board instead Of the
Board Of Fire Commissioners. The Fl
nance Board has been so notified and
yesterday a committee consisting of
Commissioners Philip Daudt. William
Quinn and z. Anthony Brock was APP
pointed to build the two new fire houses
in the Hill section for the erection of
which bonds to raise $4,000 We're re-
Gently issued. One of the houses is to
be located in the West Bergen section
and will be the home Of No. II engine
company. The other will be a truck
house and will be located on the western
slope of the Hudson City section. 1t
will be the home of No Z truck company.
The Fire Commissioners had been try
ing to select sites for the new fire houses
through agents. and in almost every case
where properties were selected as suit
able sites and the costs named, the Com
missioners would be notified that the
owners had decided not to sell-in other
words, they had tumbled to the fact that
it was the city which was looking for
the sites and the owners were holding
back for a higher price.
wen put a stop to that" said Presi-
dent Ringle, but he did not say how.
A reminder of the blizzard of last win
ter came up in the shape of claim
amounting to $657 as part of the City's
share of the cost of snow removal. The
Public Service Corporation stands the
one-half of the general expense for snow
removal. The claim was passed.
A petition was received from the Hud-
son County Park Commission asking for
the cancellation Of taxes on tract of
land purchased by the Commission for
a Bergen section park on the Hackensack
river. The petition was referred to a
committee and will be granted.

CLEARING HOUSE FOR IDEAS

At the annual meeting of the National
Education Association, in progress now
at Asbury Park. Superintendent of
School Henry Snyder. by invitation, read
paper on the subject: Uses of Educa-
tional Museums.
'As clearing house for the exchange
of educational IDEAS he said, ''the
school museum must be regarded as of
the greatest value to teachers and cit
liens. Every museum. no matter how
limited the scope of its exhibits may be,
must have some beneficial effect upon the
schools. The school museums maintain

tional depa tment 70 be thoroughly

must aim to be complete. 1t should be
as comprehensive as the. educational ex-
hibit at Chicago or St Louis. 1t must
be expanded and by timely changes and
additions made representative of educa-
tional progress. II must. besides, contain
specimens of the apparatus, devices and
natural objects used in the process of
instruction. In order TO be most useful
to the schools and what is really more
important, TO be, used freely by the
schools. it must eventually be an art
museum, historical museum, and a sci
entific museum as well as a pedagogical
museum.
ITO establish and maintain museum
which aims. when fully developed, to
supply facilities and opportunities of the
wide diversity indicafed would require
such vast iinlncial resources that but
few, even of p,nr largest cities, ccnid af-

conditions, realizing fully the value of
educational museums and recognizing
that each State school system is unit,

it as comprehensive as has been suggest

rather than a national one, because the
State school departments have sufficient
authority and means TO collect the neces-

TO the fact that your heart reyolted at
the thought Of turning adrift a faithful

How comes it that the conditions set
forth in this report exist? How comes
it that action does not square with

while the fixing Of the compensation Of
teachers is the function of local edu-

for payment are provided and limited by
another municipal body and that there

board is not independent, but is limited.

be utilized by the schools. To illustrate,
the Metropolitan Museum, the Aquar-
ium, the American Museum Of Natural
History, the Botanical Gardens, are
all now maintained by New York City,
and special school museum of the kind
suggested presents combination Of edu-
cational possibilities of the widest range.
In the meantime. more direct aid
should be given the schools by existing
museums than has been given in the
past We have seen how our public Ii
braries established at first mainly for
the purpose of furnishing reading matter
to adults, have grown to appreciate the
importance of appealing to young people
and the necessity of supplying Them
abundant literature, and how thoroughly
they are cooperating with the schools.
Similar practical use may be made of
the collections in museums. z
Mr.. Snyder next cited the benefits Of
the Museum of Natural History Of New
York conferred upon the school pupils of
that city, and which he declared was
practically part of the city's public
school system. On this subject he said:
Glasses are encouraged to visit the
museum in the company of their teach
ers. They are placed under the guild
ance Of trained attendants, are granted
special privileges in inspecting the collec-
tions. Accurate instruction is given by
expert scientists of the staff of the mu-
scum when it is desired. Although an
on two days of each week, classes of
school children may visit the museum on
any day without charge. Special reci-
tation and lecture rooms are provided.
The museum offers to the
teacher the use of room appropriately
furnished and equipped with lantern and
screen and anr of the thousands of slides
in lessons of science. The mu-
scum possesses more than 80 900 photo
graphs illustrative of all departments of
science. The museum offers
to teachers the use of its large scientific
library In the museum are arranged
special exhibits designed to appeal par
ticularly to school children and to facil-
itate instruction in nature study"
Mr.. Snyder then told of the uses made
by school children of the salcovesn de-
voted to birds, insects, mammals. etc,
and told of the lecture courses and the
loaning to classes of school children
small nature collections scientifically
classified.
IN brief, it may be said that in a
sense the museum is department of the
public school system Of New York" he
said, willing in every way to aid the
study of nature and that all resources
of this splendid Institution. all the skill
and learning of its scientists, may be
summoned to aid in instructing the chill
dren of the city. In other words. the
museum is an educational museum of
the highest order"

Frank H. Sommer. School COMMISSIONER
Of Newark. read a paper relative to the

State and argued that the State should

His address in part was as follows:-
Il recently had in my possession a
collection of excerpts from various writ

turned page after page it seemed to me
that the chorus of appreciation ever
grew aud that the resources of all
tongues had been exhausted in the effort
to give appreciative expression to the
Importance Of the profession Of the

1T seemed to me that here at least
was one class of public servants the
value of whose service to the State was
unauestioned and whose slillful and
faithful performance of its work had
met with deserved recognition.

my examination of this collection was
still vivid there came to my hands the
reports of the committee on salaries,
