SCHOOL BOARD LAW
DECLARED INVALID
Measure Affecting Supervising Prin
cipaIs attacked by Attorney
General.

Attorney General Edmund Wilson
has sent to Charles J. Baxter, State
Superintendent of public instruction,
an opinion in which ne holds that the
Aekerman law passed for the benefit
of boards of education desiring to
weed out some supervising principals
before the tenure of Office act becomes
effective next September, is unconsti-
tutional in that the law terminates
contracts which have with boards of
education before the contract time.
The Attorney General finds that the
Legislature has sought to pass an ex-
post facto law, and he sites both the
Constitution of the United States and
of the State to show that such an act
is void
He holds that supervising princi-
pal is an employe of a school board
and not an officer OF the State, and
concludes his opinion by saying:
So far, therefore, as the act refeTr-
ed to attempts TO terminate the con-
tracts now in existence. am of the
opinion that it is void So far, howev-
er, as it relates to the duty of sup
ervising principals hereafter to be APP
carrying over until after the act re-s
ferred to goes into operation (the ten
ure of office statute), the act is, in my
judgement, good"

from below us would have you believe.
Glassboro, Pennsgrove, Delanco,
Gibbstown or any of the numerous
Philadelphia teams that have played
us will readily affirm the above state-
ment.
The umpire who officiated is man
who gives everybody a square deal
and this game was no exception.
Swedesboro's claim that baik was
called on their pitcher when three
feet away from box. is not so, as not
one balk was called on either during
the entire game. The umpire, how
ever, did have occasion to caution
the visitors in this respect, they moi
knowing what a balk really was.
We do not believe in fighting our
battles through newspapers and are
willing to meet Swedesboro on any
diamond under any reasonable condi-
tions they might name. -
