AFTER THE TEMPEST.
The Genial Calm That Settled Over thu
Pretty SehooIms'am.

Pretty Sehoolms'am.
A pretty schoolma'am once taught
school In Long IGland village. All
thu young fellows for miles around
were mad about her, but the school
ma'am was proud, and none of the
boys seemed to stand the ghost Of a
chance
Young Jim Brown, the judges son.
was the best looking chap in the
town, and Jim probably loved the
schoolma am more than any of her
other SWANS. but he never had the
pluck to declare himself. He felt too
small and mean before the beauty and
learning of the schoolma'am. But one
day, the schoolma'am being away on
visit In New York state, Jim asked
advice of the editor. The editor said:
"Take the bull by the horns and In
sert an announcement of your forth
coming marriage In my society col
umn. 1t will cost you only 30 cents"
SO Jim inserted an announcement to
the effect that the schoolma'am and
he would be married the next month
and would spend their honeymoon at
Atlantic City.
Well, short time after this an
nouncement appeared the schoolma'am
came back home. Jim heard on all
sides how furious she was. For sew
eral days he kept away from her.
Then one afternoon as she was com.
ing home from school he ran plump
into her In the lane.
She let him know at once what she
thought of him and his outrageous
conduct. She stormed and raved. and
her pretty eyes flashed fire. Jim stood
first on one foot and then on the 9th.

"Well. II you don't like 1t can have
the announcement contradicted."

To THE CITIZENS OF LAMBERTvILLE
For some time | have desired the
opportunity to make known certain
facts in regard to our Public High
School, in which you are all interest
ed, but did not like to say anything
that might seem like complaining.
Now it would be unfair to keep silent.
During all this school year the High
School pupils have had examinations
or tests in every subject on the last
Friday in the month, working up to
O'Clock, some of them.
Many times / have been thoroughly
indignant because OF the injustice of
the questions. all conditions consider
ed and if the Supervisor did not know
W hen he asked those questions that
the classes could not answer them and
in some cases should not be expected
to, he certainly knew much less about
it than |. To my mind questions
should be perfectly clear and definite,
entirely intelligibleIto the pupil and a
long lines absolutely essential to an
understanding of the subject. | have
had to do with examinations all my
my life as a pupil in the public school
and college, later as a teacher, and
should know where of i speak.
/ have made out the questions in
| Trigonometry myself and marked the
| papers, which were not revised at the
| office. III 1 can be trusted with ad-
vanced subjects think know a few
things about the others.
A letter written me before / came
here, states this. "The young people
are poor students owing to many cir
cumstanoes This is true in many in
stances and have found it necessary
at times to make the work very ele-
mentary. The first of the year l had
class over which / was in absolute
dispair, / repeatedly asked your Princi-
pal to come up and tell me what to do,
but he hadn't time for that
Which is better, to ask questions
pupils can not answer or find way
by which they may learn some OF the
things they need to know. l have
some pupils OF whom / am Justly
proud, but they seldom get good
marks.
Do you realize that these questions
may be hard or easy and the marks
high or low, as the principal wills,
there is no appeal. Since Ire knows
30 much more than anyone else /
should not think he would ever find
it necessary to ask anyone to help
him correct examination papers from
Pennington.
To my mind this whole schoo
would stand an overturning, and / do
not wouder that pupils go to Trenton,
leave school or stay on and do nothing
they have no encouragement to do
honest work
