wedding Out Poor Teachers.

The first effect of the public school
teachers tenure of office law, passed
by the last Legislature and approved
by Governor Fort, is prompt and
somewhat concerted movement to
weed out teachers who's qualifica-
lions are not UP to requirements be-
fore they come Under the protection of
the new law The act does not go
into effect until September /, the
beginning of the next school year,
and this gives boards of education an
opportunity to discharge many teach
ers ii they are inclined to do SO.
Among the very first to take adj
vantage of the conditions stated was
the Paterson Board of Education,
which has under consideration res
olution that all teachers, principals
and supervising principals be sub
jected to an examination to satisfy
the board as to their knowledge and
competency The resolution con-
tanned the statement that these ex-
aminations were for the purpose of
eliminating from the teaching force
all not entitled to come within the
provisions of the law, by reason of
inefficiency, incapacity or other just
cause.
In Atlantic City the local board is
contemplating the dismissal of at
least half a dozen teachers who
trial but for the fact that If they are
employed after September they can
not be dismissed except for cause,
after an extended hearing.
But more important report in this
connection is to the effect that at a
recent meeting of the State Boards
Committe on Education, that commit
tee, after much discussion and care
full consideration decided to recon-
mend that examinations of teachers,
principals and supervising principals
be held throughout the State for the
purpose of wedding out the inefficient
and incompetent and that this be
done before the tenure of office act
goes into effect, so that poor teachers
will not be carried on the payrolls
for life.
1t is doubtful if all those who were
so anxious to have this so-cal1ed
civil service for teachers" establish
ed in New Jersey expected such an
ordeal as has suddenly confronted
them. Under ordinary circumstances
such examinations as are contem-
plated would work for the good of the
State school system. They would
result in the dismissal of those not
properly qualified to teach But there
is another phase to this matter
Many of the teachers, and among
them some of the best, have not been
required to take examinations for
years. They have been teaching in
certain grades, are eminently quail
fed by experience to teach in these
grades, but unless they have kept up
their studies in all other departments
they might find it very difficult to
pass the newly required examipa
tons.
The results of the new scheme VIII
depend somewhat on the examiners
knowledge of conditions and their dis
elimination. 1t would, of course, be
well to be rid of undesirable teachers,
etc., but if such All ordeal
should result in the dismissal OF some
of the oldest and most successful of
the teachers, it will be most unex-
pected and regretable result.

How 10 Restore Color to Ivory.

The woman who is worried by hav-
ing her small ivory ornaments yellow
prematurely should dip them in BEN
zine, let them stay for about ten min
utes and then rub into the crevices
with small toothbrush. Benzine is
also good to clean the keys of a piano,
but denatured alcohol is quite as salts
factory and much cheaper, besides
not having a disagreeable odor. Make
the rag just damp enough to remove
the soil. When too wet it runs into
the cracks and Injuries the wires.

How TO Keep Food Hot.

Instead Of placing food in the oven
to keep warm, place the dish or pan
containing it over a pan of water and
put it on the stove. The water will
keep hot, and the steam from it will
keep the food as hot as if it had just
been removed from the stove. This is
better than putting it in the oven, for
the food keeps moist and does not dry
1t up as the heat of the oven does.

Every year since the State ceased
publishing the laws in the news
papers there have been we'll founded
complaints about the difficulty of Sc
curing copies and the danger of ex-
istence without a knowledge of the
changes made, especially in laws in
volying penalty. No doubt the law
under which publication was made
offered opportunity for overcharge,
but the present system goes as far
the other way. 1t would be better
to limit the publication to say two
newspapers in each county, one of
each party. This would not be very
expensive and then any one could
get copy of any law at any time
without much trouble or expense.

The Masters Voice.

In it's issue of Wednesday April Fl,
the Philadelphia North American, a
Republican paper, prints a long edi-
torial entitled 1.-THE Masters Voice.
In this editorial the North American
denounces Senator Aldrich, the Re-
publican leader
The North American says that, al
though Rhode Island is the tiniest
State in the Union, it's Senator lays
down the law to ninety millions of
Americans in forty-five common
wealths almost every one of which is
an empire by comparison with Rhode
Island"
The North American says: But
when the Rhode Island corner grocer
Aldrich made as much of statement
as he cared to make about what he
proposes to allow this country to
have in the way of a tariff the re-
personalities of supposedly free
people listened reverently to his in
solent ultimatum. For Aldrich does
not speak only for Rhode Island.
Through him speak Wall Street and
Standard Oil and every one of the
money powers of prey"
But Aldrich also speaks for the Re-
publican party, and the North Amer
lean, as well as other Republican
papers that now protest, had every
reason to know that the triumph of
Republicanism meant the triumph of
Aldrichism
The. North American says that on
the tariff question Mr. Aldrich is
playing the same swindling game
that he played last year with the cur
rency.' And the North American
concludes thus: I'VE shall see to
what extent Aldrich of Rhode Island
can make of the President nullity
and of the Republican party pledge
breaking liar"
The editor of the North American
is simple, indeed, if he expected from
Mr.. Aldrich any other attitude than
he now assumes. He is simple indeed
if he expects political party that
derives its campaign funds from
highly protected trusts to do any
thing against the special interests Of
its benefactors. He is simple, indeed,
if he does not know that, as Re-
publican leader, Aldrich towers above
them all and that Aldricfism is the
real spirit of the Republican party.

A correspondent writes the New
York World: Il heard the late James
Oliver, the pillow manufacturer who
left fortune of $60,O00,0O0, say that
the tariff earned him more money
than all his plants and men. His
plows sold in Australia for so per
cent. less than in Indiana" Thus
is shown how high tariff protects"
the farmer and the working man.

There is much rejoicing at the
Trenton Normal School over the fact
that the Attorney General has chang
ed his mind about the act under
which the plot adjoining the school
can be secured for a playground.
The Appropriation Committee did not
feel that the State could afford to
buy any extras this year, but the
owner of the land was willing to sell
for school uses at low figure and
agreed to accept $1,000 on account
to bind the bargain and the balance
of the $4,000 purchase price could
remain until next year. The State
law department at first could find no
authority to pay money to secure a
bargain, but somehow it has been ar
ranged and new ball ground and
tennis courts will be laid out on the
plot ais soon as the grading is COM
pleted.

written for them. These are the two
Rapid Transit cases, the Lanai eases,
and the Morito Keizo case.
With regard to the latter, there is
strong feeling among the powers that
be to commute the death sentence
hanging over the head of this man to
life imprisonment He has suffered
the agony of being within several days
of execution as many as fifteen times,
and, as there are extenuating facts in
connection with his killing of a fellow
countryman, it is probable that he will
be allowed to spend the rest of his
natural life in confinement. A long
petition, signed by hundreds of Japan
ese in the Islands, is now on file in the
Attorney Generals Office, asking for a
communication of sentence, and this, in
addition to developments that have
come up of late in connection with
the ease, will be considered before the
death sentence is carried out.
Keizo was lately reprieved by Acting
Governor Mott-Smith, because of the
non-arrival of the mandate from the
Supreme Court at Washington. The
probabilities are now that the sentence
will never be carried out.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CABLES
FOR COTTON BROS. MANDATE

Attorney General Hemenway cabled
to the Clerk of the Supreme Court at
Washington yesterday to send the man
dates in the Cotton. Bros. case here as
soon as possible, if he has not already
done So The decision of the Supreme
Court in this case awarded the approx
innate sum of $4,000 to the Territory
of Hawaii, and this can not be collect
ed until the mandates in the case ar
rive. Hemenway wrote to the Clerk of
Court to make out the mandates in the
cases which he won before he left the
States, but as his letter was mailed at
little country Office in Vermont, the
postmaster of which appears to have
somewhat of a reputation for losing
letters and documents sent through the
mails, he is not certain but that his first
letter was lost in the shuttle. The post
master mentioned by Hemenway is a
type" in the country districts of the
States, this one having held his posi-
ton for over twenty years.
Although the mandates in the other
cases won by the Territory in the Su-
preme Court of the United States have
not yet been heard from, Hemenway
made no mention of them in the cable
