expressions of confidence in his ability
to fill it with credit to the State and

A week or so ago prominent Re-
publican of Rockaway CONCEIVED the
idea Of placing the name of Justice
Pitney before the Legislature as a
candidate for the senatorship by petit
tion. He communicated with oppo-
nents of Senator Dryden in Newark
and the result is petitions are being
circulated for signatures as follows;-
The undersigned, residents and vot-
erS of Morris county, favoring the elec-
tion of the Honorable Mahlon Pitney
for the office of Senator of the United
States, do earnestly urge and request
the Senator and Assemblymen from
that couety to support and vote for
Judge Pitney, first, last and at all
times.

PUPILS PUSHED TOO HARD.

ment by Grand Jury.

High Schools the Subject of Present.
ment by Grand Jury.
The December Grand Jury of Kings
County, New York, after examining
several members of the Board of Ed
ucation and the Principals of the
Brooklyn High Schools made "a pre-
sentiment to County Judge Aspinall
with demand that home study by
the pupils entirely cease. 1t also
stated thaj the course of study in
higher grades was in need of complete
revision.
To take tie place of the time the
pupils were compelled to devote to
their studies at home the Grand Jury
recommended that the daily hours at
school should be increased one hour
each day, and the course of study so
arranged that large part of this ad-
ditional hour be devoted to directed
or supervised study.
The Grand Jury found that the
course OF study prepared FOR a SlXeeen-
year old pupil was very much higher
than that required Of pupil of the
same age few years ago.
The conclusion was that the stu
dents we're being forced far beyond
their capacity to absorb and retain
knowledge Such a system, it de-
clared, could result only in weakened
memory and physical disability.
The members found that many pu-
pills had to study eighteen to twenty
five hours per week at home, and un-
der these conditions were unable to
keep up in their studies and failed in
the examinations, The root of the
evil, the report said, lay in the at
tempt of the school authorities to tit
the students for entrance to college.
1t believed the object of the High
School course should be planned to
meet the needs of the great majority
of students who do not go to college.

More Maliclous Misohlet.

The old Martin mill near the Nor
ristown & Erie station and now owned
by the railroad company was nearly
wrecked on New Years Day, presum-
ably by boys. For some time past
windows have been disappearing, ETC.,
but on Tuesday it is evident that the
miscreants had a regular carnival.
Screens from the milling machinery
were thrown out of the windows. grain
chutes torn to pieces and the hoppers
for the stones we're thrown about.
On one flight Of stairs nearly every
step was broken and generally things
were wrecked. The railroad officials
have taken measures TO find the often
ders so that they may be punished
and have reported the matter to the
town officials, hoping to get protec-
tion from further outrages. The win.

SAMSON Stone Co., we're also broken
and one Of the windows of the tool
house Of the company was also pried
open The section gang has been
working near the mill for several days
past, but went to another part of the
line on Tuesday to repair storm dam
ages.
