ANOTHER SCHOOL ELECTION.
Site Question Must Be Settled al
Special Election.

special Election.
Already petitions are being circu-
lated asking for another election on
the school site question. Two of
the former sites are proposed and
there is a feeling that new locations
should be presented. The tract on
South street, opposite St.. Peters, is
regarded very fayorably by many
who deem it an ideal place from ev-
cry point of view. The suggestion
has been made that the board Of
education would do well to acquire
the Park house property and then
exchange it for the Y. M. G. A. lot
on Washington street, and both the
school and the association would be
centrally located. Another suggestion
Is to recall the vote taken and have
a school building on Morris avenue
and another in the Flagler street dis
trict and continue the high school in
the present building.
It is stated that Hayward G.. EN-.
nell, owner of the property Oh
Speedwell avenue, adjoining the
Marinaro property, will sell his prop
erty to the town for high school
site at lower figure than he would
sell to an individual. This would give
in combination with the Marinaro
tract a lot over three hundred feet
front and seven hundred feet deep.
ample for all practical purposes of
education and recreation. The entire
cost would be less than forty thous-
and dollars.

Eddie Welsh and his co-workers on
the Morristown team were magnan-
imous. Eddie had all his stuff work
Ing but did not have to labor hard
to keep the visitors in therear.
A lad named Straehle pitched for
hoseville. Somebody started a report
that all he had was hole in his
glove but even that provedgroundless
Morristown took to his offerings like
duck to water and they not only
followed Willie Keeler's advice to
hit 'em where they amt but also
hit the ball to the fielders who ably
supported their pitcher by contribut-
ing five errors.
In the very first inning the visit
ors got a tally when Grover hit
Welsh's splitter to Hillock. The latter
grasped bunch of slippery elm on
the ball and threw the sphere so far
away from Collins the ball did not
re-appear during the game, Grover
making the circuit. A brace of hits
and errors gave the Rosevilles two
tallies in the sixth, Morristown by
that time playing a listless, don't
care game.
Straehle started off badly. He hit
Doyle and then walked Maloney.
Hits by West and McDevitt landed
Maloney across the platter, Doyle be-
ing caught mapping off first. Straehle
awaited for fair the next inning, when
Collins started off with a single.
Ahles walked and Welsh died Stra-
chile to Grover, advancing the rum
ners a peg. Doyle's sacrifice fly
scored Collins and Ahles romped home
when Stanford made a wild throw of
Maloney's grounder. Stanford re-
peated the stunt for Vests benefit.

Two more runs were tailed bv
Morristown in the fourth when Welsh
started the inning with three-cush-
ion drive. Doyle walked and Maloney
singled, scoring Welsh. Doyle es-
sayed a steal of third and romped
home when Furman lost the pitchers

in the seventh and kept Morristown
away from the plate, though the To-
Gals made no particular effort to Sc

parents IN blame

From e. w. Howe: "The school
books should be edited. Less should
be said about George Washington,
and more said to this effect. Ever
think, boys and girls, how hard and
increasingly your parents work, and
ask no other reward than that you
have a good time? Ever realize how
unselfish your parents are? How
much do you do for your parents?"
