Went Raving Mad.

Made raving mad by the strange aud
inexplicable disappearance of his young
and beautiful bride, James Smith, a we'll
know young man living near New Egypt,
was on Thursday removed to the State
! Asylum at Trenton. He had broken
down under the strain of the search and
the haunting fear that his wife had met
with foul play.
Smith and Miss Minnie Turner were
married at the home of the bride, Atlantic
City, in the latter part of July. After a
brief honeymoon the couple went to Pros
pertown, where Smith was employed
They boarded for awhile until they could
locate in the home of their own Last
week they succeeded in renting cozy
cottage, which they began to prepare for
their home nest. Mrs. Smith, with severa
hundred dollars in her pockets, left for
New York to purchase household goods
She was to return the next day, and not
word has been received from her, and
all efforts to locate her have been unavail-
ing.
Smith waited and watched day and night
for his bride He went in every direction
to get trace of her. He was unable to
sleep or eat. Then he began to suspect
foul play, and the neighbors, who knew
the couple and how fond of each other
they seemed, supported his theory. The
stricken husband began to act strangely
and Wednesday two physicians pronounced
him insane. The police Of New York
have been notified of the case, and the
friends of the couple will make every eff
fort to get a clew to Mrs. Smiths where

one or more adjoining school districts in
the establishment and maintenance of q
Union Graded Sch o..
If pupil has fully completed the ele.
mentary course of the school near his
4 home and there is no convenient public
school of higher grade within the district,
then it is the duty of the Board either to
transport him to a public school within
the district which is of higher grade but
remote or arrange with the Board of Edu-
cation of an adjoining district for his
tuition 1t is within the discretion of the
Board to employ whichever method seems
the most expedient and to arrange with
and designate the particular district or
districts in which graduates from its own
course of study shall attend.
"a Board of Education, however. can
not make a contract for any purpose IN
less the necessary funds are either in hand
or will be available during the current
school year.
IF the people of district trefuse to
supplement the appropriations received
from the State, by district tax sufficient
to provide proper school facilities for all
the children residing therein and desiring
to attend school. the district is subject to
the penalty of having its apportionment
school facilities are provided
Public school funds cannot be used for
the payment of tuition in private school. >
1t will be seen that the duties of school
board are obligatory-to extend the course
of study to transport children to school
of higher grade in the same township or
pay tuition fees in schools of adjoining or
other townships. In either instance the
school district must raise funds for this
purpose. and there cannot be any mig
gardly action in order to escape taxation,
and If the school authorities refuse to raise
money sufficient to do what is required
the County Superintendent is authorized
to withhold State money. On the other
hand no township is justified in making
its rates for tuition so high as to make
the admission of pupils prohibitory. In
such case the County Superintendent has
authority to step in and use discretionary
powers. The intention of the law is that
every township shall provide its children
with an education. If it is not sufficiently
enterprising and progressive to do this
within its own limits it must pay some
other township which does take the proper
interest in school affairs.

Firemen,s Parade.

Thursday, October 10, will be a great
day for Mount Holly. 1t will be the oc-
casion of the tiremen's parade to honor
the centennial birthday of Union Fire
Company. The acceptance of invitations
to participate have been so prompt and
favorable that large crowd of firemen is
already assured. Thirty companies, with
over 1000 men and % bands of music
have sent word they will be here.
A professional decorator will begin work
next week and will erect arches over
Washington street from Madison avenue
to the fountain.
1t has been decided positively by the
Exempt Firemen of Trenton to participate
In the carnival.
For time there was some talk of aban-
doning the trip because of difficulty in Sc
curing transportation for the apparatus on
the same train with the firemen. 1t has
been arranged by a committee to whom
the matter was intrusted that the appara-
tus will be sent on day previous to the
travel of the firemen. The PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad will not allow a freight car to be
mixed with passenger cars on train.
Between fifty and sixty uniformed men
will make up the Trenton party, in ad
dition to some in citizens clothes. A band
will be secured from New Brunswick, II
being impossible to obtain Winkler's band
which is already engaged for the occasion

Must Provide School Facilities.


Many townships fail to make proper
provision for maintaining their schools,
apparently with the idea that the re-
duction of taxation is of greater moment
than the education of their children.
They think it very queer that children
cannot be admitted to schools in other
townships which may be a trif1e nearer
than their own, but do not want to be
at any expense, thereby saving their tax
at the expense of the other township.
This is the case in all neighborhoods where
there are good graded and high schools.
Mount Holly has experienced its share
of this idea and this year made different
arrangement than that which has formerly
prevailed.
Heretofore If child lived just over the
line it was admitted to the Mount Holly
school without charge, the township from
which the student came doing nothing in
the matter. Another child in the same
township, living possibly quarter of a
mile further over the line, was compelled
to pay tuition. This year it was decided
that all non-residents, regardless of the
distance over the line-one foot or one
mile-must pay tuition. And the first to
complain at this arrangement were some
who had enjoyed the benefits of the Mount
Holly schools tor several years, free of ex-
pense. This question assumed such pro-
portions that the State Superintendent
took hold of it and issued a circular letter
in which he explains the situation. He
says
"The State Constitution makes it oh
ligatory upon the State Legislature to
provide thorough and efficient system
of free public schools for the instruction
of all the children in this State between
the ages of five and eighteen years
For the purpose of complying with the
preceding mandate of the State Consti-
tuition the Legislature has designated four
ways in which a district may provide
suitable school facilities for all pupils.
First. by extending the course of study
in the most convenient school second.
by transportation to a school of higher
| grade in the same district but remote from
the residence of the pupil third. by the
payment of tuition fees to an adjoining
school district fourth, by uniting with
