SCHOOLS COST
s30.14 FOR EACH
PUPIL IN 1910
Increase Over Previous Year,
Says Report of Educa-
ton Board.

Every schoolboy and schoolgirl in
the public schools of this city received
his and her instruction during the year
Just closing at a cost of sS0.14 to the
State, according to the ffty-fourth an
nual report of the Board of Education
made public last night. This is an In
crease of S1.14 over the previous year,
but 1t means more, in the opinion OF
Commissioner Brown, at least, than
that the cost of everything is on the
increase. 1t means hat the course is
better thar it ever was before, that the
children are being fitted for life
better thar they have been.
Strangely enough. the cost per capita
In the evening schools decreased "a
cents, falling from $a.0s in 1907 to $3.50
last year. Again, this is nc. taken to
mean that the quality of instruction Is
deteriorating. On the other hand, New
ark's evening schools are costing more
now thar ever. 1t means, in the opin-
ion of the board. that economies have
been effected and that there are many
more pupils now than then.
The board authorized the expenditure
of $751; $50 for school lands as follows:
Sixty-one Miller street, $4,000; the plot
bounded by Runyon street, Hillside and
Belmont avenues, $12, 750; a plot on Das-
sing avenue for sf2, 500, and a plot on
Speedway venue for So, 500.

New Jersey Concerns Become
Members of Manufacturers
Export Association.

A p%retentious program for winning
trade laurels in foreign fields has been
mapped out by the American Manu-
facturers' Export Association, with
headquarters in Manhattan and sew
eral bulwarks of its membership in
New Jersey. Chief in the schedule is
the combination of manufacturing in
terests to procure from Congress legis-
lation which will permit them to make
advantageous terms with foreign buy
ers and insure to them the best trade
relations with foreign nations.
The associations principal aims will
be to cooperate with the government
for the advancement of foreign trade;
to obtain fair transportation rates and
better service; to protect American
trade names and to help members who
get into trouble in dealings with for
eign customers because of Ignorance
OF the restrictions of foreign customs
officials.
The Victor Talking Machine Com
pany, Of Camden; the Welsbach Com
pany, of Gloucester; the Sherwin- Will
Jams Company, Of Newark; the Ran
som Concrete Machinery Company, of

The list is growing and many other
Newark firms have been invited to
join.

PLANK ROAD PAVING
DEADLOCK STILL FIRM

Essex County is as firm in its posi-
ton for granite paving for the Plank
road as that material itself, and from
this stand will not bulge, according
to a caucus decision reached by the
Board of Freeholders last night.
Whatever Hudson's attitude nay be-
and she has yacillated between wood
block and a hybrid sort of paving
this county will not bulge from that
stand.
The case. therefore, has progressed
during the two years or more that it
has been agitated, to just the point
where it began. Hudson County, il is
understood, will not surrender her
preference for wood block, which
seems to be her latest liking, and as
each board has an equal voice the
result is a deadlock which makes the
Albany situation pale in comparison.
Meantime, it is alleged that the
Plank road is not improving either
in smoothness or beauty.

WOMAN FIGHTS DEATH
WITH REMARKABLE NERVE

CAMDEN, March 31.--Having fought
off death five times when the attending
physicians declared she could not live
more than a few hours, Kathryn
O'Donnell, IS years old, $50 Line street,
Camden, is again said to be in a dying
condition and may succumb any
minute.
Miss O'Donnell was seized with hic-
coughs a year g last Christmas, and
all the efforts of physicians were I'M
availing to stop the %hiccoughs. Shs
was taken to the hospital, but con-
tinued to grow worse.
Miss O'Donnell allied and was taken
home. She finally made almost a COM
plete recovery, when tuberculosis was
diagnosed as the basis of her trouble.
Five times the members of her fam
lily wer summoned to her bedside and
the physicians announced she could not
possibly survive more than a few hours.
Her will power was something re-
markable. Again and again she said
she would not die, and she made a
partial recovery.
Several days ago she was again
stricken. and last night the attending
physician announced that she surely
would succumb this time.
