changes are made, one being that

The most drastic provision Of the
new school proposed law, In the
words Of the commission, and in the
opinion of many, is that section pro
viding that the county superintend-
ents of education be selected by the
county board of education, instead Of
by the people in the primary az at
present. The section Of tho bill pro-
Ividing for this says:
'sTo select and employ for term
of four years a suitable expert, as
hereinafter provided, for county
superintendents OF education. and to
tx his salary, which shall be paid
out of the special county tax: Pro-
v!ded, that no county superintendent
OF education shall be paid less than
twelve hundred dollars year"
The commission says that there Is
very general demand that som Q
means be secured for expert super
vision Of the schools. The followin s
safeguards are thrown about the
employment of county superintend-
ert the commission claims:

What the Commission Wants.
Here sra some OF the radical rec
concentrations Of the commission put
into the bill now before the General
Assembly bearing favorable report
from the committee on education:
L. An amendment to Section 2,
Article II, and to Section "a, Article
III, OF the Constitution, will remove
the obstacle that presents many OF
our best men from serving as school
trustee. Though the Constitution

Third-Il is given the right to
choose from eligible applicants the
county superintendent of education
to serve for a term of four years.
This takes away the right Of the peo-
pie to vote for this official In the pri-
mary as they now do.
s. The right Of all special school
districts organized under special
Acts of the General Assembly to
adopt their own textbooks has been
withdrawn. The State Superintend-
ent Of Education is empowered to
appoint textbook commission, com
posed OF ave public school men, to
act concurrently with the State board
OF education to adopt dual list Of
text books and to prescribe the uni
fled courses of study for all the free
public schools OF the State.
6. The mem bers Of the State board
of examiners for teachers shall serve
also al division supervisors OF
schools, who, under the direction OF
the State Superintendent, shall audit
school accounts and perform such
other duties az may be assigned.
7. The. county superintendent OF
education Is to be elected by the
county board OF education, IL order
that restricted qualifications may be
demanded of all applicants. The
term of the county superintendent is
made four years, and the minimum
salary in any county is $1,000.

IL. An adequate system Of reports
is provided in order that school sta

sent, been widely disregarded. This
amendment seeks merely to legalize

9. The State Superintendent OF

portant nature and should be trans
acted by full membership of the

bers claim that they have figured at
the lowest possible rate to carry out
the work as planned last year by
Rowland S. Haynes, secretary of the
Fairgrounds Association of Ameri-
ca, and that it will cost them at
least $4,000 to get the Fairgrounds
started.
President Baldwin has called a
meeting for $50 O'Clock Tuesday

work for the coming year will be
mapped out and the appropriation

measures, found two out OF town
hueksters doing business with short

ed the scales and brought them to

hucksters, who are Samuel Flech-
feder, OF Freehold, and ] Mentzer,
of Old Bridge. Flechfeder is charg-
ed with using spring balance ap-
paraius that gave seven ounces
short weight In a pound. Mentzer,
the sea1er claims, used scale of
the spring balance variety that gave
three and a half ounces short weight
out of pound.
The scales in question are of the
kind that can be adjusted by the
owner. They may be set SO as to
give almost any amount Of short
weight Owing to this fact an effort
is being made to have that style of
weighing mechanism done away
with in this section.
Sealer loft is also after chestnut

oring to compel them use to dry
