Dr.. A. B. POLAND Is one of the foremos!
educators in this country, and the advice
he gave DR.. Wetzel, of the Trenton High
school, few days ago. and which was
transmitted by that gentleman to the local
board Of education, was sound and deserv-
Ing Of serious consideration.
Said he: ''Off hand, l would saw that
1t is up to you, or rather your board, to do
one Of two things: First, to keepin touch
with possible contingencies so as to be able
to put your hands on good teachers when
you need them; or, second, put your salary
schedule where teachers will feel that they
are adequately recompensed for their
service and won't want to leave you.''
The letter came to DIR. Wetzel as a re-
suit Of the employment Of Miss White, a
teacher Of German in the Trenton High
school, by the Newark board of education.
Miss Whites salary here was nine hundred
and fifty dollars year. Newark will pay
her eleven hundred dollars a year, with
an increase of one hundred dollars annual
~ until eighteen hundred dollars is
reached.
The time has GENE in the history of
school teaching when the teacher realizes
that he or she Is something more than an
honorary servant of the people. The ten
dency all along the line is to increase the
compensation of public school teachers.

THAT COMMISSION government is grow
Ing in favor in this State as a means of
curing municipal shortcomings is shown
by the fact that eight bills on the subject

aim to extend the commission form of
government to counties through small
boards of freeholders and the other four
are bills for commission government In
cities. One bill has already passed the
Senate and another has been reported In
the House. An Assembly bill provides

ARE YOU GOING TO TOWN THIS WEER
TO SEE WILLIAM INGERSOLL AND
CAROLYN GATES AT THE CHEST
NUT STREET THEATRE?
The new semi-religious drama ''Thais, !"
which will be produced by the Orpheum
Players, next week-February II, is ro-
mantle drama which Marie Doran has
drainatized from a novel by Anatole
France, and the same story upon which
the beautiful opera 81 hais" is founded.
That's is a Greek pagan girl. The first
act occurs in the hut of some pious her
NIT who lived in a forest in Egypt.
Paphus, one of the hernits, is haunted
by vision of a beautiful woman named
That's. He sees her sleeping and waking,
although she remains invisible to all
other eyes. Paphus and his brother her
mits believe this vision is really COM
mand from Providence, that Paphus shall
go forth and seek That's, and save her
soul. To the hut comes a former school
friend of Paphus-this is Nicias, wealthy
young pleasure loving aristocrat, who
promises to aid his friend Paphus in his
search for That's. who shall be surrendered
to the spiritual care of Paphus.
The following scene shows the home of
That's, an inn where she is virtually a
prisoner, compelled to sell flowers and
sing and dance, and give the money she
thus earns to her cruel captors, a dwarf
named Ali, and his mother, Fadus. 1t is
here Nicias finds That's, and fascinated by
her charm and innocence, he forgets his
vow to his friend Paphus, and sends
That's, in care of his soldiers, to his home
in Alexandria.
Act three shows That's in splendid
surroundings. She knows no Christianity,
but worships pagan idols. Paphus, after
a long and weary search, finds her here
with Nicias, who he bitterly denounces
for breaking his promise.
In the next scene That's has fallen under
the holy influence of Paphus. His words
have deeply impressed her, and toward
the end of beautiful scene she repents
and renounces paganism completely.
The last act shows That's in the retreat
of the Grey Sisters. where her conversion
and repentance is fully accomplished, and
where she dies in peace, at the foot of
the cross.

Recent events In the vicinity of Trenton
have shocked the residents of that city
greatly. There was an automobile acci-
dent whereby several liYes were lost
This gave rise to many rumors, a coro-
ner's inquest was held and a verdict
rendered, but nobody was held to be to
blame. The next occurrence was the
death Of boy 10 years Of age. He be.
came intoxicated and fell by the railroad
tracks where he remained until the stupe-
faction had passed. When he arose his
feet and toes were SO badly frozen that
lockjaw set In and death ensued. Prose-
cutor Crossley, with the idea that 1t Is his
duty to look into matters of this sort
without sitting In his Office and waiting
for someone to make a complaint, has
started Investigations into both of these
cases. In the matter of the death of the
boy the Prosecutor does not propose to
rest on the incidents of that case alone
but he will make general inquiry into
all the business acts OF liquor dealers
throughout Mercer county. Prosecutor
Crossley has the correct idea as to his
duties

There is laugh raised within the first
minute after the curtain is raised on the
first act of Get Rich Quick Wallingford'
which Conan and Harris announce for
presentation at the Auditorium Theatre,
Burlington, on Wednesday evening,

well nigh continuous. Geo M. Cohan,
who wrote the piece from Geo. Randolph

have called his stage version of it Get

THAT was q funny admission for a
prosecutor Of the pleas to make when
Samuel A. Atkinson told Jury in Attain
tic county that he did not put any faith in
expert testimony. He was prosecuting a
civil suit In which q member of the medi-
cal profession was sued for negligence in
performance of an operation. Mr.. Atkin-
SON, In the performance of his official
duties, has had and will probably still have,
occasion to call medical men as experts on
cases and that he should thus publicly de-
nounce that sort of evidence was rather
peculiar. but he probably was pretty near
lY correct. 1t Is no trouble to get expert
testimony on any side of case. This has
been shown frequently In the manner In
which experts have gone on the stand and
told one side Of case only to be contra
dicted by men equally as high in the pro-
fessi0n. The criticism, however, Ia not
confined to the medical end, all sorts of
expert testimony comes under the ban.
Witnesses have been called who professed
to Identify handwriting to a degree that
did not allow Of any contradiction only to
have others show that the former were
absolutely mistaken. To rely upon expert
testimony alone would be rather danger
Gus proposition.
An EFFORT Ia to be made to have John
Ellsworth released from the state prison
He was sentenced to term Of FIVE years
for robbing the home of Schuyler Rainier, at
Florence. In addition to robbing the
place Ellsworth threatened to take the life
of the aged housekeeper at the farm, and
was also willing to let an innocent man be
arrested. When he was arrested he made
full confession, otherwise the Innocent
man might. have been where Ellsworth
now IL. 1t is said that there is not to be
any objection on the part of some of
county authorities to this request for
pardon. The question naturally arises:
II this right Why is 1t that criminals are
not allowed to finish the sentences that
have been imposed upon themf What
benefit are they to community that they
must be let out to again carry on their
nefarious businessf Not over fortnight
ago murderer who was sentenced for
life was allowed to gain his freedom. He
certainly will not be a gain to any COM
munity In which he may take up his resi-
dence. There has been some criticism of
Judge Horner for the leniency he has
shown in imposing sentence upon
criminals, but the query arises what use
is there to impose long or severe punish
ment IL criminal Is to be set loose before
he has served but short period of not
very severe sentencef
