Trenton, N. j., May 5.-The contest
for delegates-at-large to the republican
national convention will be fought out
at today's state convention. Five can
didates for the four places are Gov
ernor Fort, former Governor John w.
Griggs, United States Senators Kean
and Briggs and State Assessor David
Baird.
Vice Presidential Candidate.
The indications are hat Fort, Keane,
Briggs and Baird will win. There is
some talk of favoring former Governor
Franklin Murphy as the vice presiden-
tial candidate.
May Not Be Instructed.
1t is generally believed that the del
egates will not be instructed, although
an attempt will be made to have the
convention indorse the nomination of
Taft. Most of the district delegates
appear favorable to Taft. 1t is under
stood that the unit rule will not be
adopted. which will be an advantage
to Taft.

F. Dryden, the temporary chairman,
appointed the usual committees when
the convention was called to order at

the contest for the presidential nom

OF the other men mentioned for the
nomination, he said that If Taft is

SCHOOL BOARD HAS
TWO new MEMBERS

their children advanced to a higher
grade, irrespective Of the teacher, for
the teacher is IN q position to judge
better than the parents when the pu-
pill is prepared to enter an advance
grade. The conscientious teacher has
no incentive to advance pupils before
they are fully prepared for advance
ment, realizing that the permanency
of their positions depends upon the
achieved.
Servants Of the People.
The board feels that they are the
servants of the people, and whatever
rebounds to the credit of the schools
is also a credit to them, and It is their
constant aim to build the schools up
to the highest perfection possible, and
be a credit to the district.
In the employment of teachers the
board has not at any time taken into
consideration politics, religion or fads,
the only aim being to secure the besl
talent available, believing that the
best is none too good, and as the amer.
lean people are in favor of a Square
DEAL" they should have it, and then
they car be trusted to do what is
fitting and proper in the premises. AS
a school board, we have tried to build
up, not to tear down.
There has been some criticism in
reference to the crowiing of che
schools. We herewith transmit a re.
port showing the average daily at.
tendance Of the different rooms of the
