Like Peace Justice Who Would
Furnish Security.

Rather than have Justice of the
Peace Henry Bassett go on her bond,

remain in the county jail.

ROBBING
SCHOOLS OF
TEACHERS
Twenty-three Letters Of Res
ignatiOn With Old Names
Signed in Brackets.
rsneoial to the Evening star.l

Jersey CITY, Sept. 6.-Dan Cupid
has given the lie to the old-time theory,
..once a school teacher. always one,'
for at the meeting of the Jersey City
BOARD of Education yesterday after
noon the secretary read one after an
other twenty-three letters of resigna-
ton. and each one of these epistles
were signed with two signatures, the
old and the new.
The regular routine business was
over. and the announcement was made
that some letters of resignation were
next in order. The honorable board
settled back to hear the letters read,
but little did they know of the heap
of correspondence Cupid had placed
upon the secretary's table.
81 herewith tender my resignation as
a teacher in Jersey City Public School
No. 6. Thanking you for all past
Respectfully,
ELIZABETH ACKERMANN."
AT the finish of this letter the board
smiled, for they well knew this teach
er's reason for quitting the school
room. Again the voice of the secre-
tary was heard, and in hin hand he held
a pink, perfumed, daintily written note
""' Aug. II, 1907.
"Jssey city Board of Education:
Gentlemen--I tende my resignation
as a teacher in School No Il. reason
| We are on our honeymoon.
Very truly yours,
MRS. GEO. II. NEARN.
"(Bertha NJ. Deming.)"
Again the directors smiled, but the
marriage game had robbed Jersey City
of some of it's best teachers, as the foi-
lowing letters proved, and the smile
soon faded to a sickly stare as one
after another was read. The voice of
the secretary was getting weak, and
several times he had to quit and par
| take of a drink of water.
In one OF the notes 1T told how sorry
the teacher was to leave. but her loved
one had first call, and she obeyed his
command.
II leave with much regret wrote an
other, that John and [ are now on the
ocean, gliding far Ger the sea- stu an,

past favors, but you must see, though

and now we are nicely established in a
coy little fiat.
"Wiu they ever end said one director
to another. wi we have any schoo
teachers left for commencement day?'
queried another.
The letters continued to come, and soor
there was a heap of tinted note paper or
one side of the desk. And more to come.

to place the road in good condition. IL
was proposed by the t~wo%counties that
crushed stone be placed between the
tracks of the Turnpike line so that
thew would be passable for vehicles. Ii
ia cited in q resolution passed by the
Hudson County Board of Freeholders
that crushed stone was laid between
tho rails. but nov sufficient for the re-
sult desired. and that this portion OF
the road is no nearer a passable condi-
tion than II was hefore the effort was
made by the board
1t is said that the Public' Service Cor
poration has been notified a number of
times to fulfill it's part of the agree
ment, but that as it has shown no dis
position to do so. summary action
should be taken by the board. The
matter, after passing of the resolution
by the board, was referred to the Free
holders bride committee, Supervisor H.
Otto Wittpen, who called the matter
to the attention of the board. and
County Counsel John Griffin. who will
confer with the Essex board.
The portion of the Turnpike over
which the trouble was caused lies be-
tween the Hackensack and Passaic
River bridges.
The agreement between the traction
company and the Freeholders limits
the time for notice to vacmte a road
to n year from date of serving such
notice and under this agreement the
Frceholders say that they O to

Tho Turnpike line is known to be one
of the most profitable holdings of the
Public Service, and 1t is not considered
that there Is the slightest possibility
that 1t will allow its tracks to be re-
moved.
When seen at his Office today County
Counsel Elvin w. Crane stated that the
matter had not been called to his attention
by County Counsel Griffin, Of Hudson.

matter, anyway" he said. 1.-The road lies
