Condemns School Law.

Judge Francis Scott of Paterson, mem
ber OF the State Board of Education, con-
demns the new school law which makes
the attendance compulsory until the age of
II years is attained. He is reported to
have said recently: fThe new law which
makes the age limit II instead Of Is years
within which time all children are COM
PEELED to attend public school is perfectly
absurd. Ii was sneaked through the legis-
latare without the knowledge and appro-
baton Of the State Board Of Education. 1t
is working distress and harm throughout
she State and is an unpopular and unjust
enactment. The age limit of Is was far
better and met with general satisfaction.
The new law should be given close atten-
tion at the coming session Of the legisla-
ture and modified. y

Bull Pine VS.. HemlOCk

The Board of Education has been wrest-
ling with this problem. Which is best for
floor ioist, bull pine or hemlock? The
contract for she new school house calls for
hemlock joist, hence when some of our
contractors saw bull pine going in they
registered kick, because bull pine is S4
less a 1000 feet in the market than hem
lock, and they figured on using she more
expensive material, if they got the contract
The Board of Education has had the subject
up once and by vote of to l decided TO
pine he wants to. An expert in woods
has been down from Philadelphia to prove
to the Board of Education that bull pine is
preferable to bemlock, and he proved his
statements in cold type!
Another expert was here Tuesday, and
he proved to some citizens that some of
the joist have dry rot now, and ran bis pen
knife deep into several. He says that
kind Of lumber may be allowable in a
small (yery smalI) house, but not where
hundreds congregate, and floors are ex-
pected to carry them.
Such questions as these are exceedingly
interesting to the public, who pay for hem
lock and get bull pine, worth 81 less
per thousand feet: when we learn how many
shousand feet of that kind Of lumber is put
in where hemlock is specified, we will know
bow liberal the Board of Education is to
the contractor.

abSSBORO HOTEL PROTEST
Mot yer square with the Law

The people Of Glassboro who have pro-
tested against tbe manner in which W. F.
Davis conducts bis hotel in that town have
more than the usual difficulty in getting
their case before the court in way to meet
legal requirements and rules of practice.
The second effort. made yesterday, was
failure because LAWYER Sheperd, Of Bridge
ton, the attorney of record, allowed the afii-
daviss of the petitioners, which be had
drawn, to be acknowledged by himself.
Mr.. Swackbamer. counsel for Landlord
Davis, demanded the right to put Repp
Bros, the petitioners, on the stand and
cross-examine them as to their personal
knowledge Of facts set forth IN she petition.
He asserted that it was impossible for per
sons not frequenters Of the place 80 have
the personal knowledge testified TO, and
such knowledge was imperative to sustain
the charges. This the court over-ruled-
Mr. Swackhamer then moved to have the
case dismissed, because the affidavits were
taken before counsel Of the petitioners.
Mr.. SheDerd said that was the practice in
Cumberland County, and Mr.. Avis, the as
sociate counsel, argued that inasmuch as
the affidaYits formed no part Of the testi-
meny on which conviction would be asked,
that objection was not vital to the suit
Judge Starr in giving hisdecision said
s'The Court has no right TO act on faulty
affidavit Il will be folly to start 50 i'm
portant case on faulty basis: No mat
ter how this case is decided here it will go
to higher court, where the proceeding
here, on such basis, would not stand. He
therefore dismissed the case.
The large number Of spectators and wit
nesses present were greatly disappointed at
the unexpected ending Of the case

1t is reported, by good authority, that
Ithe New jersey Conference Camp Meeting
Association will erect building for rent or
sale, on Pitman avenue between the rail-
road and the post Office, on what is known
as Pitman Park. 1t is also reported shat
lots will be sold on which to build business
houses; There has been considerable agi-
tation oyer the matter Of building at this
location in the past. The contention has
been that the Association cannot build,
while they maintain that they can and will
There is no reason why an individual or
corporation cannot build on property be-
longing to them until it is otherwise illegal.
There are some very fine lots at this desir-
able portion of Pitman, valuable property,
which il offered for sale will command a
high figure.
