AGAINST INVASION OF
INALIENABLE RIGHTS
BULLETIN NO. 10

According to report from Trenton. the
local option bill introduced by Assem-
blyman Buck, of Cumberland County,
will share the fate of the one which had
been fathered by A~ssemblyman Crosby.
1t is to be reported adversely by the
Judiciary Committee, in whose hands it
now is, and then defeated without many
words. Even its i%ntroducer will not
make a fight for it's adoption, claiming
to have introduced it only to satisfy the
Anti-Saloon League, without any per-
sonal desire of it's enactment.
Defeat is the fate the measure merits,
and if Mr.. Buck now helps to prepare
for it that fate, he will deserve all the
more credit. But after his bill shall
have been laid at rest" there will still
remain in the hands of an Assembly
committee a bill aiming at achievement
by indirection what by the Crosby ,bilI'
and the Buck bilr" was sought to be
achieved directly. 1t is .sAssembly No.
21O," introduced by Mr.. w. f. Morgan.
of Essex County. which proposes SUBJ
mission to the voters of each local COM
munity in the State the question of
amount of license fee there to be inn
posed upon the sale of distilled and fer
mented beverages, instead of the ques-
ton of permitting or refusing issuance
of licenses for such sale within the
limits of the community.
AS will be recollected by older citf-
zens in u State. the enactment of a
direct local option law by the LegisIa-
ture of 1883 at the State election of h
year brought a brushing defeat the
party responsible therefor. The party
victorious at that election by the Legjs-
lature of 1889 repealed the law of 1883
and substituted for it the law now ex-
isting known as the ''Werts liquor law
Wrapped in this law was handed to the
people, who had been promised a lib
eral" excise law, a lemon in the shaps
of provision for local prohibition by i'll
direction. In Section 4 was provided
that upon petition signed by at least
one-t1fth of the voters of any local COM
munity in the State. where licenses are
required to be granted by the Court OF
COMMON Pleas, that no less thar a ce--
tain sum be charged thereafter for
liquor licenses in that community, an
election upon the question of fixing the
sum named as the minimum fee to be
charged for such licenses shall be or
dered by the County or Circuit Judge.
and the decision of the majority at such
election shall be binding upon the local
authorities.
Unfortunately for the eoncocters of
that scheme for local prohibition Sec
ton 4 was adjudged special legislation.

REPORT FOR YEAR.

Mostly by Pleasure-Seekers
from Out of Town.

Interesting details of arrests made in
West Orange last year are contained
in the report furnished by Chief of
Police William H. Bamford, of that
town, and contained in the annual re-
port, now being distributed in the town.
Chief Bamford states that the natural
increase in population and the large
number of out-of-town people attracted
to the place for pleasure and recreation
have increased the police duties. I.he
out-of-town prisoners tbtaled 1913, and
only 141 were West Orange peop'a. But
two negroes were in the list. -Four
were prisoners. and the number
born in the United States totaled 1S7.

The Board of Education-This board

The superintendent may suggest, urge,

among boards. They may assume an
attitude of stolid indifference lending
the superintendent tardy or reluctant
support; or they may officially intrude
themselves in the details of which the
superintendent is the proper manager.
Among the latter are discipline, text
books, libraries, apparatus, supplies,
grading and the selection of teachers,
If the superintendent is incapable OF
properly performing these duties lie
should be discharged.

motions through the year whenever the

necessary for class promotion and q

were not "iron-clad" it required the
teachers to make their work comply as
closely as possible, SO that each subject
should receive its due and proper atten-
tion and time. The course of study
covers eight years in the grades and
four years of high school work, and will
take the average pupil twelve or
thirteen years to complete. This will
prepare the pupil for entrance to the
universities or normals, and while not
necessarily a connecting link, the high
school course is in itself the best possible
for the pupil even if he never enters on
the advanced studies of the higher in
stitutions.
Visitors.-It would be very gratifying
to the teachers if parents and patrons
would visit the schools more often. The
number has not been large this year.
1t is noteworthy that when some ''exhi-
bition" exercises are given that more
parents visit. While this is gratifying
yet as ''workers" we wish the people
would come and see us at work every
day. We want the appreciation and
criticism in every day labor more than
on the "show-of" occasions. ,Recitations
and songs may shsw good work and be
good training, but is only meagre part
of real school work and generally of the
exceptional pupils. Parents should be-
come acquainted with the teachers, be-
cause the more the teachers know of
the home life, the better they will know
the pupil.
Socials and Entertainments.-O of
the most serious drawbacks to school
work are parties, entertainments, and
other attractions which entail distrac-
tion of attention from study and make
late hours and consequent loss of sleep.

possible to give in full large amount of
interesting matter concerning our pub

which has been furnished us and we are
therefore only able to give synopsis of

Lehman, and of the essays.)
Superintendent Lehmann's Report.
Sources of School Reyenue.-"Special
taxes" form the chief resource of COM
mon school support. This tax is the
voluntary levy made by and upon the
assessed property in each school district
and is collected for and paid to the dis
trict by the county treasurer. The as
sessed value of District No. is $780,
900. The levy for 1907 was % mills and
the tax S5538. 10 and no tax is paid less
grudgingly by the taxpayers.
State Tuition Fund.-As most people
already know, congress reserved two
sections, 18 and SO, in each township
from homestead claims and the proceeds
from sale and rentals Of the land form a
school fund OF which the interest only
is distributed pro rata to each school
district; in the state according to the
number Of school children in each dis
trict. Already this has become very
great amount of money and only small
part Of the lands have as yet been sold.
Last year this apportionment amounted
toA per scholar and totaled in this
district $3.50.
Two Mill Tax and School Poll. Every
year the county by-statute levies two
mill tax on all property and also poll tax
of one dollar on each male citizen.
To these sums are also added certain
fines and penalties collected by the
courts and these sums are likewise dis
trjbuted among the districts per capita
tof the school population and this year
amounted to s45O0O. for this district.
Thus.it will be seen that the school
board have had about $3.50 at its dis
posSl the past year. " s5a3,5 4
