is the same animal which the Journal
reported last fan as giving birth to Il
pigs. u of which Mr.. Trask sold for So
each or $50. which is pretty good
price for fall pigs. If any kenn"bec

Broad street. Louis c. Bassmeyer was

SCHOOL BOARD
N A Y QUIT
FOR GOOD
to Resign Tonight.
EiSeIe Is Considering
Similar Action.

When the Board of Education adj
1907 will be a thing of the past, and
the session may mark the passing Of
the reign of the elective school board
in this city, although a fight against
the small board is being made
The board will act on the resignation
OF Commissioner George w. Courier,
| of the Second Ward, who will resign
to show that he is willing TO bow to
the will Of the people.
School Commissioner John c. Eisele,
Republican, of the Ninth Ward, has
had under consideration for the last
few days the a%dvisabllity of resigning
from the Board of Education al the
meeting tonight, so as to give moral
support to the Mayor n the small
school board and to express his OPP
position to the contest against the
small school board, but he has not yet
positively decided to do SO.
When seen today, Commissioners
Eisele said:
Il am with the Mayor and the small
board, and while l will not resign to-
night l cannot see how l could serve
on the present elective Board of Edu-
cation next year even IL they won out
and II the law under which the small
board was appointed was declared UNI
constitutional.
my failure to resign tonight will
be mainly due to the fact that if the
large board wins out then ! would
have TO take under serious considera-
tion the ACCESSIBILITY of serving until
my place was filled, so that the Ninth
Ward would have proper representa-
ton.
IF 1t would better express my APP
proval of the small board and my
Willingness to bow to the will of the
majoriey of the voters, then I will re-
sign il the large board wins out"
The text book committee will meet be-
fore the board does and will try to have a
resolution ready to add Frank j. Urdu-
hart's history OF Newark to the list Of
school tovt books. The book Is printed
only in pamphlet form and is not bound
and the committee at a recent meeting in
structed Secretary Argue to find what II
would cost to bind the books. He will
submit his report to the committee to-
night.
The schoolhouse committee will also
meet, and after the inspection will accept
the Burnet Street School heating system.

figuring on a 100000 basis.
There is the possibility Of a fight by
George Marley. chairman of the chool
house committee, TO kill the Smith resolu-
tion on the ground tina the committee
some time ago voted to leave the settle-
ment to the new board. Mr.. Smith re-
fused to stand by hat decision.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Courier hash been severely a%rraigned by
some of his colleagues for resignlng, as
they feel that his action will morally act
TO their detrlment in their fight against
the small board.
Before the meeting the insurgents will
get together and decide whether they will
organize at 1901 a. m. January /.

ARIoN SOCIETY XMAS TREE
Hundreds Of Children Enjoy a Great
Festival.

The annual Christmas festival of the
Arion Society was held last night in the
Kruger Auditorium, and furnished de-
light and unalloyed joy to several nun
bred children. The members gave each
child a present.
1t required a monster tree to hold the
host of gifts and seldom has a tree
been more beautifully decorated, cer-
taiuly never in the history of the So
ciety, Santa Claus was liberal and no
n present was forgotten.
After Santa Claus had dispensed all
his good things the floor was cleared
and the children had a royal time
dancing and indulging IN those
pleasures that delight the hearts of lit
tie folks. They were given full scope
of ~pleasurable indulgence by the CONF
mittee, which consisted of Frederick
Koups, chairman; George H, Schubert,
Frank Rossmeisel. jr.; Charles Sehaef-
fer and Herman A. Dittler.
