A TEACHER with considerable ex-
perience in private preparatory schools
makes a suggestion in regard to the
one session system in the high school,.
He says it would be desirable if tt Q
teachers would require pupils who e
deficient in any study to 20 back in
the afternoon and receive aid in work.

private schools and thus they are able
uo1maintain high standard, We are
informed that this is the case in some
high schools where the one session sy s.
TEN is had. Private school teachers
work from ten to twelve hours day in
many cases to keep their scholars up
to the mark but will the common
school teachers take the same interest

DR.. Frederic II. Humphreys Gives Ills
views on the Lighting Question.
TO THE EDITOR or THE CHRONICLE:
Sir I'm the last widespread storm
throughout the country the leople Of
Morristown may get some idea Of the
conditions that will prevail when
Morristown is properly poled and
wired " for the new electric light com
pany. In the neighboring towns we
read of wires down, horses killed, peo-
pie injured, lives and property endan-
gered by the electric current. 1t seems
strange that, after fighting the old
company for years to get the wires
buried out Of sight and rendered harm
less, the Board of Aldermen and the
Civic Association should seek to revive
and perpetuate in grossly exaggre-
rated form the unsightly and danger
Gus nuisance and this under the spec
ial plea that the streets should be bet
ter lighted.
Granted the fact that the streets are
badly lighted and should be much bet
ter lighted, this is not a sufficient rea-
son to disfigure our streets by the mu-
tilation and more or less destruction
of the shade trees and to render them
dangerous by the erection Of ugly poles
and wires. We are informed by the
president Of the Civic Association that
the expense is too great to allow all
wires to be buried; some poles will be
erected temporarily, but others must
remain permanently. Wea promised
that the Shade Tree Commission will
see to it that no unnecessary cutting
will be done-and are incidentally re-
minded that we don't own our shade
trees anyway Does anyone believe
that the energetic president of the
Shade Tree Commission is going to
follow the linemen around to watch
and prevent their depredations
In some of the residential streets, as
Madison avenue, Elm and South
streets, the wires are buried--to the
great satisfaction of the residents !;
but we, who are not privileged to live
on those streets, naturally object to
having our places despoiled and made

"reminiscences the other day at the
capitol. He is now nearing the eight
eth milestone and is one Of the Oldest

SHELLFISH SAID
TO CAUSE TYPHOID
sewage Fed Oysteis and
Clans Are Eaten by
New Workers

It is the opinion Of not few Will
mingtonians that present epidemic Of
typhoid fever here is partially due TO
the shellfish with which the city is sup
piled. In New York city. where a SINH
lar epidemic is raging, a commission
has traced the cause OF the epidemic
directly to sewage fed oysters and
clans that are supplied the markets
from waters in the vicinity OF New
York.
The danger Of the spread Of disease
by the shellhsh from polluted waters
is just now occupying the attention OF
members Of the pollution commission
and the merchants association Of tho
city. Members who have studied the
situation say that the practice Of "cul-
tiJating" or "fattening" oysters is car
ried on IN rivers. which are nothing
more nor less than open sewers for the
towns bordering on their banks, and
are used as drinking" grounds for
the oysters. oysters are taken from
the salt water and put I'm shallow watey
at the mouth Of some fresh-water
stream. there TO be "fattenedP
Il rs the opinion OF the eoihillsSlol'
that the use of oysters and clans from
these beds should be prohibited. state
and Federal regulation would not be
sufHcient. Even oysters which come
from other localities should be sub
jected TO inspection by qualified OFF,
cials. as is done with the milk supply
Every one should Insist upon knowing
where the oysters and clans which
they eat are grown, as The diseases
contracted through these agencies are
Igeneraily fatal.
