APpoRTIoNMENT OF STATE SCHOOL MON
EYs TO DISTRICTS MAINTAINING
HIGH SCHOOLS.

AZ the last meeting Of the Z Lsgislature,
Section 1872 Of the School Law, relating to
the apportionment of school moneys by the
County Superintendent was amended.
Prior to the adoption Of this amendment,
the law provided that 5000 should be APP
portioned to each district for each perman-
emit teacher employed during the year next
year next preceding that for which the
apportionment was made, without reference
to the grade in which such teacher was em-
ployed. The amended bill provides that
$4,000 shall be apportioned for each teach
er employed in High School having full
four years. course of study, $4,000 for
each teacher employed in High School
having three years course OF study, and
5000 for each teacher employed for the full
time the schools were kept open in teach
ing in any other capacity.
The State Superintendent has informed
your committee that numerous requests for
an Interpretation Of this section as amend
ed, have been received and your committee
deems the following rules necessary for
carrying its PROVISIONS into effect, and re-
spectfully recommends their adoption.
~ The sum Of $400 shall be appor-
toned to each district for each teacher who
shall have been permanently and exclu-
siyely employed in High School in which
only an approved four years course or ap-
proved four year courses Of study are main
tanned.
~ The sum Of $4,000 shall, in like
manner. be apportioned for each teacher
who shall have been permanently and ex-
clusively employed in High School main
tanning only an approved course, or ap-
proved courses Of study Of not less than
three years.
~ High Schools maintaining courses
Of study which differ in scope and in the
term Of time required for their completion
shall be classified for apportionment, in
accordance with their shortest course.

The fact that a good thing is never
wasted on the public is strikingly illustra-
ted by the increasing popularity Of The
Philadelphia Record True merit is al
ways appreciated if backed by enterprise,
whether it be in cake Of soap or in a
newspaper. The spurious article, or the
one that is not up to competitive stand
ard is soon left behind in the race for pub
lie favor.
There are older newspapers than The
Record, = and papers that have shot upward
like skyrockets, with flash Of ephcmeEal
brilliancy, only to come down again ke
charred sticks. But THE Record has ad-
yanced steadily and irresistably year by
year since % years ago it set the pace as
the pioneer one cent paper of America.
Since then it has never retrograded; it has
never eyen stood still, and to-day its circu-
lation exceeds that of any other newspaper
published in the State Of Pennsylvania,
with an influence that is felt all over the
country.
Continued success is never accidental. 1t
is possible to stumble into luck as one
stumbles into hornets nest, with just
about as much chance Of winning out in
the end. But luck has never entered into
the success Of ssThe Record That sue
cess has been due to a keen insight directed
toward the public mind, an ability to see
lat glance what the public wanted in the
way of a newspaper, and then to supply
that want. 'sThe Record has meyer at
tempted to force down the publlc's throat
a style Of journalism that was inherently
distasteful to it.
We congratu'ate the management Of
s'The Record on its adherance to these
principles that have marked the papers en-
tire career, as we'll as upon the excellent
business methods shat have won the conf
dence and esteem Of its great advertising
patronage.

Board Of Equalization Of Taxation.
[From Constitution. ]

1.-THE Board held an extended and very
interesting session on Monday, July 2, al
their rooms in the Court House,
Assessors and collectors, representing
Woodbury., Wenonah, Paulsboro, National
Park, Deptford, West Deptford, Mantua
and Washington, were present.
Each assessor brought his field book
and the day was principally occupied in
the examination and comparison of values
of real and personal property throughout
the above localities. y
ssThe Board deny emphatically the ap-
proval OF the blank schedules and state
ments of personal property printed by Mr..
James D. Carpenter-lea leaving the assessors
perfectly free to plan and adopt any form
Of schedules that may be eonyenient in
their several localities, the Board neither
adopting or approving any let form. +"
We quote the above because of the insin-
uation contained in the last paragraph. that
Mr.. James D. Carpenter has endeayored to
impose on the assessors Of the county spur
ious papers for their guidance
A few weeks ago Assessor BuFkett, of
Woodbury. authorized us to print for him,
for distribution in his bailiwick, two blanks,
one a schedule Of personal property and one
statement for the information Of taxpay-
ers. He said they were copies Of forms
adopted by the Camden County Board and
approved by Chairman Redfeld, of the
Gloucester County Board.
After filing Mr.. Burkett's order we con-
ceiyed that the forms would be a valuable
aid to the assessors Of the county, and se-
cured, through Mr.. Redfeld, a list Of the
assessors Of the county, and mailed to each
postal Informing them that we could fur
nish these blanks, that had the approval Of
President Redfeld. This course seemed
to us entirely honorable, and as much a
favor to the local assessors, and the Board
of Equalization Of Taxation, as anyone
else, and surely an aid to uniformity Of
effort among our assessors to secure equality
Of values as well as complete schedule Of
personal property from every taxpayer
If Editor Albright has quoted the Board
Of Equalization accurately, the various
assessors and the people will have cause to
be more suspicious Of the sincerity Of its
high professions than they have been here
tofore.
We shall see what we shall see.

while coming from Baltimore Saturday
night on the Ericsson Line steamboat Grace.
When the boat arrived she was taken to the

Sunday morning. A post mortem examina
