LIBRARY MEN
WIN OUT AGAINST
CIVIL SERVICE
Chief Justice Gummere Grants
Writ to Review Conn
missions Action.

That the c ployees of the Newark
Free Public Library do not come under
the supervision of the Civil Service
Commission was argued by John X.
Hardin before Chief Justice Gummere
today In he Supreme Court circuit,
and the result was that the writ of GER
torHri applied for reviewing the action
of the COMMISSION was allowed. At
torney-General Edmund Wilson did not
appear in opposition and, 1t Is under
stood, agrees that the question is a
debatable one.
Mr.. Hardin told the court that the
civil service law requiring classification
on the part of the commission of public
employees had included those OF the
library. in accordance with an opinion
filed by the encouragement.
Library Independent Corporation.
MY application Mr.. Hardin ex-
planned, is baseo on the theory that
the trustees of the Free Public Library,
under the statute creating them. form
an Independent corporation. The en-
pioyees are named by Incorporated
officers, and the Legislature created an
independent body with independent
duties and responsibilities free from
supervision of the Civil Service Com
mission. The civil service act does not
apply to the Essex County Park Com
mission, as has been settled, and 1t is
equally evident that 1t does not apply
to my clients"
In allowing the writ the chief justice
said to Mr.. Hardin:
There Is considerable force in what
you say"

SUGARS SECRETS
Investigating Committee Visits
Aged Rival of the
Havemeyers.

NEW YORK, July 2l-More secrets
of the wars between the American
Sugar Refining Company and it's rivals
were expected to be unearthed today
when a subcommittee of the congress
sional committee, which is investigat-
ing the alleged trust. went to
New Paltz, N. Y, to take the testi-
mony of John Arbuekle, for many
years a vigorous rival of the Have
meyers.
Mr.. Arbuckle is old and feeble and
his physicians said he could not stand
a trip to this city. The committee is
anxious to find from Mr.. Arbuckle
whether the long, bitter conflict with
the American Company was ended with
an agreement or whether both sides
by common consent decided to let each
other alone.

Married women, especially mothers.
should not be employed as teachers.
Their time is their husbands, and
should be; besides, they are set in
their ideas and fight against radical
changes.
The young teacher, just out of
school herself, is the ideal teacher. she
bubbles over with enthusiasm, which
inspires the children entrusted to her.
Being young, she is more apt to UNDER
stand and sympathize with them; she
is up-to-date on the latest teaching
experiments and theories.
Corporal punishment is a thing OF
the past. When I hear a teacher or a
mother talking of breaking a child's
will / always think of a big bully who
whips a small boy and then boasts of
it. It's morally wrong to teach that
way.
It would be splendid IL there was
some way of allowing youngsters to
work in school for pay. 1t would teach
them the value of work, and that a
livelihood should be worked for. not
stolen. Then, too. when the boy was
ready for high school he would have a
means of sustenance, and there would
be a larger school attendance,
There has been much vaudeville in
churches and schools of late. That's
all right. I am heartily in favor of 1t.
Children should be. able to swallow
their disagreeable tasks with a smile.
and II children can't smile their edu-
cation isn't going TO be all profit to
them.
