MEDICAL INSPECTION
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Inspector Fithian Explained System
10 School Board Last Night.

Health Inspector G. w. Fithian
and the sanitary committee of the
health board, presented to the school
board at their meeting last night the
recommendation of medical inspec-
ton among the school children of the
city, also that a medical inspector be
appointed to devote his time to the
examination of the children at reg
ular intervals.
DR.. Fithian made a long speech
and thoroughly explained the idea to
the members of the board.
Besides insuring the safety of the
scholars from the epidemics of diph-
iberia and scarlet fever" he said,
'your attendance would be greatly
increased and as | understand, the
state appropriation is governed by the
number of children in attendance. If
that is the case, you would, | think,
receive in return more money than it
would cost to establish the system. .

AFTER SEA BREEZE
FOR ROLLER SKATING
Movement Now on Foot to Secure
the Old Dancing Pavilion There
for the Purpose.

On account of the fad of roller
skating again becoming popular, a
number of enterprising men of this
city are making arrangements to
start a rink here.
They point to Riverside Park at
New Brunswick as evidence that the
fad is well liked and patronized, and
if suitable building can be secured,
they will start the preparations at
once
Besides the local parties interested,
it is said that New York concern is
also connected with the project.
A movement is now on to secure
the pavilion at Sea Breeze, and put
it in first class order, which would be
an excellent site for a rink. Nearly ev-
cry day a few take skates there and
spend a few hours rolling around the
old dancing pavilion, which seems
enough to prove that the idea would
be successful.

vor of its adoption. An instance of

was refused permission at the time,
on account of the former having
been seconded. Mr.. Sturn said: 81

ceived bid from the Fuller, Warren
Company, of New York, for $104 for
sanitary repairs at school No. 4, also
that they would install nine closets in

City Superintendent Shull made his
report, and recommended that the
teachers committee be given power
to fill vacancies, and also that the
board act on the matter of admitting
out of town children to the high

city in a number of ways. Mr.. Shull
was duly authorized to act according
to his judgment in admitting scholars

Next year it is possible that the
school board, which has caused so
much comment and dissatisfaction
among the general public, will be ap-
pointed by the mayor. This will be

The Liquor Dealers Association
held combined meeting yesterday
afternoon, of the liquor dealers Of
South Amboy and of this city. a.
large representation of the associa-
ton attended and topics concerning

stood that the association as a body
have no desire to cater to Sunday
trade under the present conditions.
although it is understood that some
discussion arose about keeping open
on Sunday for the sale of soft drinks
or taking effective steps to close up
the other soft drink places. 1t has
been limited by people about the city
that some of the grocery stores, es-
pecially In the lower parts of the
city, and in the suburbs, are purchas-
ing large quantities of beer and other
mild liquors Saturday nights and q
question of the disposal of 1t has
arisen.
1t is claimed that the liquor deal
ers wish to be a law abiding associa-
tion and that their desire Is to hold
the lid down so tight on Sundays
that the people will become dissat-
isfied with the old laws and institute
new laws that will allow the saloons
a legal sale of liquor on Sundays az
on other days.
