the Oranges was opened last night with
mass-meetings in two churches. The
churches where the meetings were held

avenue, East Orange.
An address outlining the movement
throughout this country and Canada
was made in the North Orange Baptist
Church by the Rev. DR.. L. n. D. Wells,
pastor of the Disciples of Christ
Church. In speaking of the work with
relation to the boys, DR.. Wells said
there was something lacking when 70
per cent. of the boys from the Bible
school cases were lost to the church
in after years. The speaker said the
movement is calculated to correct the
prevalent spiritual malnutrition among
the greater majority of the people.
1.-THE morning newspapers and the
engine whistles calling men to work
take from us our daily prayers and
the study of the Bible. I can never
get half of my congregation together
at one time said the minister. Their
names are on the books, but 1 don't
know where they are"
c. J. Ellsworth, of this city, also
spoke. The Rev. DR.. Charles Townsend,

Church, orange, presided at the meet
ing.

CITY OFFICIALS IN
MIDNIGHT CONFAD
ON SCHOOL STRIKE
No Settlement Reached Regard
ing East Orange Building.
Pupils Affected.

Mayor Julian A. Gregory, of East
Orange, this morning expressed him
self very plainly in the matter of the
delay on construction of the new high
school, and said the pupils were being
wronged by the failure of the con-
tractors and workmen to end their
failures and finish the job. The execu-
tive. Commissioner Robert Crater and
Mr.. Guilbert, architect, had a confer
ence UP to midnight last night.
Today the mayor, Mr.. Crater and
Mr.. Beetle, architect of the firm of
Guilbert & Beetle, who are in charge;
Thomas Kane, foreman, whose action
in doing work In violation of the agree
ment between the u. A. and I. A as
sociations has been alleged as the
for the tie-up; Superintendent
Patton, for the general contractors
and James F.. Mulhall, business repre-
sentative of the U. A, met. They
made an inspection of the unfinished
structure, and Mayor Gregory also
commented upon the possibility of
trouble from insanitary conditions
owing to unfinished connections. Pro-
fessor Silas A. Lottridge, head of the
department of chemistry, said II was
an outrage that the pupils should be
delayed In their work in the chemical
studies, as no practical work can be
done until the rooms are in proper con-
dition.
The whole affair may be discussed
tonight at the East Orange Board of
Education meeting, and as copies of the
agreement whereby the firm having the
work, the American Warming and

COMPULSORY VACCINATION
BEING RIGIDLY ENFORCED

Compulsory vaccination is being
rigidly enforced by the Montclair Board
of Education, and all pupils entering
for the first time this term must be
v~accinated. Many parents thought that
after the agitation against compulsory
vaccination last spring that the board
would not require incubation of school
pupils.
The school authorities have explained
that the board had merely modified the
order last spring because of the opposi-
ton of ,apti-vaccinationalists The
children who were already enrolled in
the schools will not be required to sub
nit to vaccination, but every new
pupil must conform to the rule.
