A PRACTICAL HIGH SCHOOL

Thfrty-seven Boys and Thirty Eight
| Girls VIII Take Examinations
AS comparison of Morristown with
Montclair has recently been made, The
following from the Montclair Times d
the 22d inst, may be of interest:
The senior class of the Montclail
High School this year contains sew.
enty-five pupils, thirty seven boys and
thirty-eight girls. 1t is expected that
every member of the class will gradu.
ate, and of the entire number of boys
who will end their studies in the local
schools, all but five aim to enter higher
institutions, of the thirty eight girls,
sixteen intend to enter college. The
senior class this year is the largest in
the history of the High School.
"The higher institutions which the
graduates will attend are as follows
Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, Co
lumbia, Teachers College, Williams,
Wesleyan University, University of
Wisconsin, New York University, Uni
versity of Virginia, University Of
Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology, Stevens
Institute, Wooster University, Ohio,
Cooper Institute, Barnard, Holyoke,
Smith, .Vassar, Wellesley, and one or
two undecided.
''It will interest the people of Mont
clair to understand something of the
preparatory features Of the High
School, since the course in that de-
partment is the most expensive part
of any public school system. To make
the school of all around value to
Montclair and to fit the students for
life just as broadly and thoroughly as
for college is the aim of the local
authorities. With this end in view
there are four four-year courses, which
run parallel to each other, but made
flexible by many electives. While the
preparatory courses are not to be ex-
allied above others it is particularly
interesting at this season of the year
to note that the rumber in the senior
class who aim to enter higher institu-
tiOns is precisely 81 per cent. From
twenty-five to twenty. five certificates
are being made out for those who will
entercollege by thecertificate method.
The others who enter by examination
must carry with them special form
OF certificate that is nearly as difficalt
to make out as are the twenty-five.
Approximately one-half enter by GER
ti6cate, partial or complete, in insti-
buttons that receive by certificate, and
the other half by examination.

Work Among The italians.

Possibly there are some people In
Morristown who are not aware of the
work being done among the Italians
in our midst, and to such the Board of
Managers wish to call the attention of
| the excellent and efficient efforts being
put forth to teach these people A mer
lean ways and their children how to
become useful and good American
citizens. The g Neighborhood House
on Flagler street has been fitted up
for the work, being kept in good re-
pair and as far as possible the grounds
around it neat and orderly as an ex-
ample to the many neighbors. A
headworker and assistant are always
TO be found at the house and are very
glad to receive calls from anyone in
terested in the work. kindergarten
is held every morning except SatuY-
day, when the older girls have a sew
ing class, the children having their
sewing class on Monday afternoon.
Every afternoon and evening is de-
voted to some class or club. Carpen-
tering is taught to the boys during
the winter months under a competent
director. In the Spring and Summer
their work takes them out doors where
garden is given each boy and he is
taught what and how to plant. The
results of their labors they are en-
titled to. PHYSICAL training, embroia-

IT is safe to presume that the genial
and efficient member of the board OF
education, who, unfortunately, has
not the confidence in the public that
he should have, is ready to subscribe
to the proverb that 1.-THE shoemaker
should stick to his last" He has been
successful in manipulating things on
the quiet, but when he used the press
to avoid publicity there was such a
cloud Of dust kicked up as to not only
attract the attention OF all the lead
ing newspapers in the state, but also
bring about action by the State super
intendent, and thus give official sane,
lion to the thing sought to be avoided.

The ordinary house canary will eat

THERE are few judges in the land
who object to receivers receiving all
the assets Of concerns placed under
their legal care. John e. Lanning
wanted $4,000 for acting as receiver
of the Monmouth Trust company, OF
Asbury Park. Chancellor Pitney cuI
the sum down to $4,000, with the
appropriate remark that receivers gel
too much aud creditors too little
There will be somewhat general com
