MEETING OF BOARD
OF EDUCATION

The Board OF Education met on FRI
day evening and passed upon some
bills and ordered them paid
No further elections were made TO
The vacancies in the corps Of teachers.
The whole question was thoroughly
discussed. Since the saaries of the
teachers have been increased, there are
more competitors for the positions and
II Is the opinion of the Board that it IS
their duty to fl the positions with the
best material that can be obained and
for the best interests OF the schools,
without regard to personal favor or
disfavor. 1t is the earnest desire OF all
the members of the Board to weigh
well and thoroughly al matters con-
nected with the teaching force and TO
secure the most competent and effec-
tive teachers that can be obtained for
the money paid. The Board believes
| in paying as good salaries as the funds
will allow and to economize in other
| quarters rather than in the matters OF
salary.
The po icy of the Board at present is
to increase the salaries of those teach
ers in the primary and grammar grades
un.il a minimum of $50 month is
reached, and to require hrst-class
certificate rom the teachers.
There will be plenty OF schools in the
country districts that can give posi-
tiors to teachers with second grade
certificates and any teacher that as
pires TO position in the schools here
should be viking to put forth the extra
effort and do the extra study necessary
to secure a firsr-grade certificate. And
if they have neither the inclination nor
ability to secure such certificate they
should not expect position at the
higher sa ary in the Newark schools.
The Board heieves that it will COM
mend itse t tt the patrons Of the school
by s<ch action. There are several
POSITIONS that have not yet been filled
in the grammar grades and as many
members of the Board as can get away
are going up to West Chester to visit
the State Normal School today. Mr.
Richards has kindly placed his automo-
bile at the disposal of the Board foi
that purpose. Mr.. Spaid will go with
them.
They will interview anv members o.
i the graduating class that may be pos
sible candidates lor the vacancies ane
examine their records and make in
quiries of the Principal and Professor
with the purpose Of securing norma
graduates for Our schools.
1t is believed that this determination
on the part of the Board to demand
higher scho' arship on the part Q
those who wish to teach in our schoo,
will result in greatly strengthening tn
force OF teachers and raise the stand
ard of our schools

Dayett's Truck Burns

Fire was discovered in the garage
adjoining the mill of J. Irwin Dayetr,
near Cooch's Bridge, last Sunday af-
ternoon. For a time it was feared the
flames would spread to the mill and
Aetna fire company was called on for
such as would enable it to have been
useful, it was impossible for. them to
respond. With the use OF hose and
the efforts of an energetic bucket bri-
gade. the fire was confined to the one
building. The large automobile truck
which has been such familiar sight
on our roads, was completely Destroy
ed. The loss is placed at $1,000. which
was only partly covered by insurance.

COLLEGE NOTES

All three OF the games which were
played last week ended in defeats. The
scores were-Ursinus 8, Delaware 5;
Catholic University "a, De aware @;
Johns Hopkins 5, Delaware I. With
any kind of support at all, the first and
last of these games would have been
victories for the cadets, as Jolls and
knopf both pitched good ball. In the
Catholic University game, however,
the whole team took an aerop.ane trip
and four pitchers couldn't stem the tide
of defear. The work OF Taylor at. third
and Harvey at short leaves much to
be desired. and it seems to ~ that
decided shake up in the infeld would
be a good experiment. 1t surely
couldn't do any harm and it might do
great deal OF good.

During the drill period last Thurs
day, DR.. Whitaker, Superintendent OF
the Southern Manual Training School
Of Philadelphia gave very interesting
lecture to the cadet corps His talk
was based on the modern educational
problem; and he stated the astonishing
fact, quoted from statistics compiled
by the city OF PHI ade'phia, that of the
80 900 children who entered the first
grade in the public schools of that
city sixteen years ago, only 200 would
graduate from college this year. Ii
other words, only one out OF every Ios
children will receive the diploma OF &
college or university. He congratu
| lated the student body on belonging tc
this 200, and said that it was a greatel
achievement and honor, than to be Z
member OF the 400 of New Yorl
City.

Motor Truck Rams House.

Tenants in three story frame house
in Bergenlne avenue, Union Hill, N. j.,
fled to the street yesterday afternoon
when the structure quivered on its
foundations and plaster dropped from
the ceilings. On reaching the sidewalk
they found that Union Hill had not been
shaken by an earthquake, but that a big
automobile truck of the Schmaz Bakery
Company, of Hoboken, had tried to ram
hole through the building.
To save the life of Sadie Waldmann,
five years old. who, with a crowd of
children, was playing in the street,
August Grosschmidt, the chauffeur,
drove the truck over the sidewalk and
into the house. The building was more
damaged than the truck, which after a
few repairs continued on its way. New
