boards approval of this bill.
Former School COMMISSIONS Edward
Sohoen, who at the recent general election
was elected q commissioner 10 the board
which went out of commission with the
passage Of the referendum for the smlil
School Board, appeared last night on be-
hslf of the residents Of the Park View
section of the city to ask for better school
facilities. After presenting a petition
signed by $50 residents of the section. all
of whom have children Of school age, Mr..
Schoen stated that this section of the city
had been neglected. lie pointed out that
the only school in the centre of this ser
ton was the Peshine Avenue Primary
School, and that when children were far
enough advanced to attend the grammar
school they were sent to Hawthorne Ave-
nue., Bergen Street and Miller Street
schools, all Of which are a considerable
distance from that section of the city. He
concluded by saying that he knew that a
sun Of money had been set aside last year
for the erection of a grammar school In
this vicinity, but the appropriation was not
sufficient. The petition was accepted and
referred to the committee on grounds,
buildings and supplies.
A resolution was passed making the
commercial course at the High School -four
years instead of three, to take effect
with the classes entering February 1; that
the additional year be elective with first
and second year pupils, and that the course
of the fourth year of the commercial course
be the fourth ear of the English course.
This change was made necessary because
the law provides thai the course shall be
four years and the granting of diplomas
after three years study would cause the
High School to lose the State appropriation
for its maintenance.
Because of the crowded condition of the
High School the classes will be halliday;
one from $3.50 a. III. to 1890 d. M, and
the other from 12:45 to As p. M. The
use of the rooms in the Newark Technical
School as an annex to the High School
will be discontinued from February 1.
In a resolution authority was given the
finance committee CT the board to consult
with the heads of the city financial depart
nents to devise plans to pay teachers on
or before the 9Th OF the month for the
previous months work.

The only other name that is seriously

MI. Dalrymple is only pushing his can

view to later becoming a candidate for

The West forces are of the opinion
that they can win without any aid
from Essex County. and it is not likely
that they will have any further
