Board Of Education holds Important Meet

The board Of education met on Fri
day evening and formally endorsed
the action of the committee on en-
ploves and salaries regarding the re-
adjustment Of the course Of study in
the night school.
1t is decided to change the lesson
periods from 30 to 40 minutes, abolish
several Of the study periods and sub
sttute more school work. German
and chemistry will be added in the
senior year and Latin and physics
taught more thoroughly than at pres
ent. One new teacher will be en-
ployed as soon as obtainable as the
improvement will be installed before
the close of the present term.
1t is expected that by the opening
of the term next September the high
school will be placed on the approved
list. This will demand higher
appropriation from the state and will
give the graduating pupils better
standing in entering the State Nor
NAL school or other preparatory insti-
tutions.
For several years many of the citi
zens of the place have felt that the
school system was not what it should
be in city the size Of Lambertville
and the promise Of the change is
being heartily welcomed.

If the plans Of II number of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania fishermen
are carried out, it will no longer be
possible for poachers on the DEM
ware river to evade the game laws by
lodging the State line. Differences
in the laws of the two states bound
ing the river have made it possible for
poachers to encroach on the rights of
sportsmen, aud it il now proposed to
remedy this condition by introducing
new fish protective bill in the Leg
islature in each State.
This bill was drafted and discussed
recently at conference Of fishermen,
who met Fish Commissioner W. r.
Meehan at the rooms of the Fish Pro
tective Association, in the Crozler
Building. The provisions of n bill
were agreed upon by fisherman from
both sides of the Delaware, and the
Legislatures of both States will be
asked to make the bill law during
the present session.
