Urges Opening of Hi street.

In my judgment we ought to oper
Hill street TO at least Plane. thereby
diverting the traffic and taking some
of 1t off Broad street, which Is a very
busy street. l also think that the
street car system could be improved
by diversion
Mr.. Leschziner had with him stalls
ties from the Public Service Company
which showed the running time of all
the cars in the city. He gave these
over to Commissioner Mungle, whr
a view to acting on the suggestions
made.
Mr. Leschzlner said that he had made
a careful study OF the city and was in
position to know its needs. He thought
that too many cars We're crossing the
-Four Corners hat could be run ON
other streets.
In connection with the paving OF
Broad and Market streets, he suggested
that conduits be built on both sides Of
the highway in which all the pipes and
wires could be laid. so that il 1t were
necessary at any time to open the
street only one part of it need be
opened.
He closed by saying that his services
would be gladly given whenever needed
by the board. Commissioner O'Connell,
who is chairman of the committee on
streets and highways of the board,
thanked Mr.. Leschziner for his inlor-
nation.

WOULD TEACH
THE MOTHERS
State Board of Education
Make Announcement.
Spocfai to the EVENING NEws.

Trenton, Aug. 28:-If the local
school boards throughout the state
shall act upon the decision of the
New State Board of Education an
nounced Saturday with reference to
teaching domestic science to mothers
Of public school children, it will have
a ~far-reaching effect, it is believed,
not only upon the education of the
state, but also upon sociological
questions. AS stated Saturday, the
State Board decided that there was
nothing In the school law to prevent
the appropriation of local school
money for the carrying on of such
teaching to mothers when in the
opinion of local boards it would pro-
mote the welfare of a substantial
number of the children of the COM
munity. 1t is believed there is hard
ly a city, or large town In the state
where the children would not be
benefited.
The memorandum of the advis-
DRY committee, as adopted by the
State Board, on the question as first
raised in Newark, was in part, as
follows:
AN examination of the law dis
closes that the public schools must
be free to children between 8 and
20; that kindergarten may be es-
tablished for children between 4
and 7; that public evening schools
may be established for the instruc-
ton Of persons over 12; that
schools for manual training and
school for industrial training may
also be established; that public
evening schools may be established
for the instruction of foreign born
residents over IA years of age in
the English language and in the
form of government of this state
and of the United States. Such
schools may establish on any school
district in the state.
THE Legislature has also pro-
yided for detention schools, prison
schools, agricultural schools and for
lectures in cities, for the benefit of
working men and women. 1t has
not attempted to enumerate what
subjects may or may not be taught
in schools which may be established
in any district, other than to pro-
vide that children between and 7
and II must attend a school in
which they shall be taught reading,
writing, arithmetic, spelling English
vide that for entrance to high
schools pupils must be able to pass
an examination in certain studies.
After showing that there does
not appear to be any age limit for
those who may attend evening or
manual training or industrial train
ING schools the hoard holds that 1t
is within the power of any board Of
education to teach adults domestic
science in evening, manual training
or industrial training schools.
"It is expected that some of the
Mothers Clubs throughout the
state will take the matter up and
ask to have the domestic science
teaching established.

The latent power Of dynamite Is ter

general rule can be laid down for the

Francis Riley. a farmer residing
near Charleston. N. j.. several days
ago missed roll OF 81 bills amount
ing to $40, which he had laid ON a
table. while he took wash at the
pump before going TO town to pay
several bills.
When he looked for the money II
was missing. He was positive that no
one had entered the house. Besides
himself. Tige, a pet fox terrier. was
the only living creature in the room.
While feeding his chickens. RilN'
saw Tige quite distance away. busily
scratching. Curiously he went to In
vestigate and found that the dog was
trying to bury baby's rattle.
Rileys curiosity was aroused and
he had an inkling that Tige's cache
might contain other articles. He dug
into the hole and brought out such
things as spools. rattles. blocks. bones.
etc Lastly he saw his roll OF bills. So
overjoyed was Riley that Tige was not
even chastised.
