Whatever else is done to the pro-
gram, Col. Theodore Roosevelt will
still be the most important of the
speakers. Following his attendance at
the congress in st. Paul, the former
president will come to Chicago where
he is to be the guest Of the Hamilton
Club, September 8. Should President
Taft be placed upon the program, as
was suggested, it is probable that Chi.

ment band and field music will ac-
company the Trenton guardsmen. 1t
is the intention of Colonel DUNCAN to
have the entire regiment assemble in
Lambertvile at 10 o'clock in the
morning. Immediately after arriving
here the regiment will participate in a
parade. The various companies will
then be dismissed for dinner. In the

county.
The Supervising Principal also re-
ported that institute will be held at
Pennington during Thanksgiving
week.
Bills to the amount of S5l5. SO were
ordered paid.
The Universal Contracting and
Heating Company presented bill for
$80.79. This bill was for work and
material in connection with the taking
down and re. setting of the boiler in
the First Ward school, The bill was
referred back to the Company for, cor
rection, as the charge for labor, speci-
fed in the bill, appeared to be excess
sive.
The question of a new school build
ing was next taken up. Mr.. Horan
stated that at least five rooms would
be necessary if it was the intention to
that this work would cost at least
$4,000, which was putting it at the
lowest possible figure, and to build
new rooms would cost nearly as much
as new building. Mr.. HoEan stated
that there were two or or three places
III town suitable for school building,
the best location being at the corner
of York and George streets, the Titus
property. which could1be turned into
a school building without much trou
BILE, and that the property was for sale.
4he school question has become a
matter of vital Importance dnring the
past few months and something will
have to be done before great while.
The matter was not gone into very
deeply at this meeting, but the Board
adjourned to meet at the call of the
President, when the matter will be
gone over thoroughly. In the mean
time, figures will be obtained on both
propositions, additional room or a
new building, so that the Board can
|
take the matter up IN the proper way
and come to satis factory solution of
thu problem. ~
/ The schools Of the city will be clos
ed on Thursday. November 10th, on
account Of the military parade and re-
! view to be held on that day.

The regular monthly meeting of, the
Board of Education was held Wednes-
day evening. This meeting was held
in the Office of the Super vising Prin-
cipal in the Solliday Building, as an
entrance could not be made to the
Council Chamber, the janitor for some
unknown reason, failing to put in an
appearance.
The report of the City Treasurer
was received. The report showed
that the public school account was
overdrawn to the amount of 81, 1928
The Treasurer in his report stated
that he would be obliged to float a
note to cover this amount as soon as
Council meets, as the city needs this
money to pay its bills.
The report of the Supervising Prin-
cipal was received. The report stated
that during the mouth of October
there were 294 boys and 3l5 girls on
roll, making total Of 900 pupils reg
istered in all grades, and that the per-
centage of attendance during said
month was 90s.
The principal matters contained in
this report are as follows:
At least three of the High School
teachers have too many classes to
work to the best advantage with them.
Besides. four classes number in the
neighborhood of forty, which is
double the reasonable size. Several
subjects are not now being taugh that
we offer in our course of study. And
finally, when the classes come in from
the seventh grade in January, l am at
a loss to know what will be done with
them. You will agree that while it
/ would be possible to get along, after a
fashion, with what we have, the con-
sideration of the disposal of the class
es entering next term can hardly be
left until they are upon us. My sug-
gestion is to employ an additional
teacher in the High School to begin
work February first, and to cut off
from the assembly room by temper
ary partition, but it is up to those
who offer them to suggest a. plan with
out objections. The matter of ex-
pense, as you know, is not serious;
the additional cost will be met. as far
as the teacher is concerned,
