VALET QUITS

Reopenlng the little farce comedy
sketch about providing a guardian
at night for Oranges deerepit steam
roller, the officials of that community
are again at odds as a result of the
resignation of William Palmer, a Re
publican, who was selected by the Re-
publican-Insurgent-De Democratic force
in the Common Council for the place.
Palmer served w days and quit,
and Street Commissioner John Dris-
coll promptly put Peter Smith, a First
ward man, in charge. Chairman Owen
c. Dolan insisted that he had the au-
thority to naine the steam roller valet
and he named Frank Leonardo.
The question was. again before the
street committee last night. and
Dolan's appointment was supported
by his colleagues. despite Commits
sioner Driscolrs i%nsistence that he
should have the selection, as he had
the responsibility. The two men, Smith
and Leonardo, had previous expert
ence in caring for the roller. as both
served on the machine up to June d;
when the new majority appointed
Palmer.
What amuses the officials over the
rivalry is thai the job requires the
man to be at the roller from 5 p. m.
to 8 a.. m. every day for $12.5O a week.
Palmer is back in a hat shop today

NO SEX HYGIENE
UNDER "A YEARS
School Authorities Fix
Upon Minimum Age for
instruction.

Ending a controversy which has
cenlsed a division of sentiment in the
Board of Education on the proper
manner Of handling the vexing prob
lem, the Orange school AUTHORITIES
last night decided that instruction of
sex hygiene in future must not be
taught children under IA years of age
without explicit consent of parents or
guardians of the little folk. The
board was unonimous in fixing an
age limit upon the instruction, and
with the passage of the necessary
resolutions the question is settled for
the pres mi at least. The school year
is at a close, and with the resump-
ton of studies in September the
wisdom or error, of imparting the
vital information will be studied by
educators and parents.
The controversy has aroused con-
siderable criticism, and, at a public
meeting in the High School sometime
ago, parents listened to arguments
favoring the instruction. The Social
lists of the city were keen in their sup
port of the dissemination Of such
knowledge, even early In the life OF
school children.
DR.. Herman c. Cassini, school COM
missioner, who brought up the prob
lem, announced that indignant par
ents in the foreign quarter had taken
their children from school, preferring
to keep them at home rather than
have traditions disturbed by opening
the minds of their young to venues
of thought they feared might do more
harm than any good that could be- ac-
complished. The Board of Education
was evenly divided on the problem of
teaching sex hygiene until the COM
promise at IA years was determined
upon. DR.. Katherine Porter, medical
inspector, whose instruction of the
young brought the question to a
head. issued a public defense Of her
instruction.

JULY QUIET IN THE

take their vacations. Probate Clerk
Morrow states that during the month
of July II revenue licenses were Issued
in comparison with 102 for July in
1911.
A peculiar thing about the issuing
of revenue licenses this year is the
number so far issued amounts to 2S47.
which exceeds by over 100 the number
issued during the year of 1911.
Cupid is evidently resting during the
present hot weather. The probate office

I'VE have never heard charge against

that 1t was too easy to get patients into

the board is sometimes subjected to crit

by receiving only charity patients in the
hospital.
THE board cheerfully invites Mr.. jack

do so. We are quite sure that the re-
suit of the investigation would be not
that the county is doing too much in
this direction, but that its capacity for
helpfulness and usefulness along these
lines should be greatly increased"
