new SCHOOL SITE
FOR TOWNSHIP
Lively School Meeting Wednes.
day Night in Township.

An interesting school meeting of the
voters of Morris township was held
in the township hall on Wednesday
evening. William H. Thompson was
elected chairman of the meeting,
Aldus H. Pierson, secretary, and H.
l.. Prudden and Thomas T. Sands
were appointed tellers. After the
notice of meeting had been read,
Joseph M. Brown, a former alder
man of East Orange, now a resident
of Mt. Kemble avenue, took the floor
and asked the object of purchasing a
lot so near the corporate line of Nor
ristown as the one proposed by the
township board of education, which
is on South street short distance
below Woodland avenue. A $4,000
lot means a building costing ten to
twelve thousand dollars which with
the extension of the borders of Nor
ristown would necessarily be taken
over by that town. He advocated the
purchase of a lot further from Nor
ristown and of greater size at less
cost The pupils of the South street
vicinity should have a new school but
he thought the object behind the pur
chase was the erection of building
to accommodate the pupils now in the
Brick school house as well as those
near the site. This he objected to
saying that with repairs the brick
school would be useful for twenty
years.
He said he had five children in the
brick school who had shown improve
ment under the teaching of Mrs. Law.
renee, but for three years the pupils
had Waited for city water to replace
the bucket and cup and should also
have single desks. He criticised the
board of education for the lack of
sanitary facilities at the brick school
and said they should be chastised If
the use OF the present South street
school room is continued Mr.. Brown
objected to transportation of children
on the ground of increased chance Of
contagion and loss of school sessions
by Capitalization as well as the cost
of transportation, advocating the
maintenance of small schools for tie
smaller pupils at least He also de.
clared that the board of education
should be open in its dealing with the
people.
John S Green said there is no use
of building a large school for the
South street section nor as a central
school, if it is planned to transport
pupils from other districts, because
Hillside has an unseated room and the
Collinsville school is not half full.
He demanded to know if it was plan
ned to do away with the brick school.
Thomas T. Sands declared that the
erection of a school house was not
before the meeting, and that the
board of education was compelled to
buy lot near Morristown because
lots further out in that section could
not be secured, and. besides the -loca-
tion was more central as children
came from Convent and Normandie
Heights as well as the vicinity.
w. H. Thompson said there were nc
large plots near the desired location.
Joseph F. Burke said the price of $40
per foot for the lot is reasonable and
the lot. high on one side and low on
the other, can be graded with material
there at present. He said he had
