West End Loses.
Yet.. "a

Before one of she largest crowds that eyer
witnessed game Of base ball in this city,
the West End team was defeated by the
crack National Park team by the score of 13
80 6.
1t was hard game for West End to lose,
as they kept in the lead until the fatal
ninth, when the team went to pieces and
National Park scored runs.
Outside of that inning it was hard
fought game. West End landed on Dop-
son right in the first inning, Tyler making
home run. In this inning they scored 3
runs Again in third inning West End got
2 more. In she ninth inning they got
more run.
Bsyer was pitching great ball for Wes
End, as it was not until the ffth inning
that National Park got his off Of him.
This is considered doing good for young
fellow like him against such bunch Of
hitters as National Park is claimed to be.
In the figth inning by West Eud making
some bad breaks National Park scored 4
runs Again in the terrible ninth by West
End making some more blunders they scor-
ed runs. MaDtua is the next attraction.

Compulsory Education.

Somerset County Superintendent of
Schools H. c. Krebs has issued instruc-
tions that the compulsory education law,
as radically changed by the recent Legisla-
ture, must be carried out to Bhe letter, and
be intends to set the example in North
Plainfeld, where be is principal Of schools.
The compulsory attendance limit has been
raised TO fifteen years, with the condition
that all pupils must attend until they are
seventeen unless they have completed the
grammar grade course.
Grammar grade pupils must go on to the
High School il they complete the former
studies before becoming fifteen. Il have
provided printed instructions for parents,
and these will be served by house-to-
house canyass by the truant officer, said
Mr. Krebs. In North Plainfield the fail
ure eff child to attend school means a
loss OF SIS, which would have been do
mated by the State, and, therefore, means
that $l8 extra must be raised by local tax.
The law must be strictly enforced.
