SCHOOL BOARD
DISCUSSES PETITION
PostpOnes Action on Plea for
First Ward School.

The petition for the erection OF a
school bilding on Morris street In
the first ward was before the board
of education Friday night but the
board postponed final action until a
meeting to be held two weeks later.
An opinion was received from the
counsel to the board, John B. Vree-
land, stating that after a conference
with ]. Brognard Belts, of the state
education department, he believed
the election for high school was
legal, that the people had voted for
a high school and that another cleo
tion is necessary to select site.
From comments by some of the mem
bers of the board the opinion did not
seem to satisfy them and tits prob
able that the opinion of the attorney
general will be asked.
AS the petition for the first ward
school was based on the belief that
the election for a high school was
not valid it will make it necessary,
some the board members thought, to
have not only new high school but
to also hold an election on the gram
mar school proposition as well. II
was finally decided to put the matter
: over s'e6rT for two weeks.
Upon recommendation of Superin-
tendent Wiley it. was decided to open
the Maple avenue school building on
Thursday, though Mr.. Sturgis, of the
building committee, thought the build
ing could be made ready by Tuesday
Upon recommendation of the teach
ers' committee the following new
teachers were engaged :-R. G. Car
ter, high school, salary $1,000; Helen
NJ. Biddle, high school, $725: Burnett
C. Struble, seventh grade, $725;
Beatrice Blakeslee, eighth grade, $725
Elizabeth Bassett, eighth grade, 1926.
Miss Hattie Youngblood was given
the position of unassigned teacher
and will not have regular class this
year but will act as a substitute teach
err.
Clifford S. Rutan, custodian OF
school money, reported receipts OF
$5S,217.77; disbursements of $40, ,472.92
and a balance of $37,744.S5.

Morristonian at Shelter Island.

Shelter Island is going to have a
long season; at least the Prospect
will, and it is said that some of the
other houses will also remain open

closes shortly after Labor day, but
it is going to remain open until Sep

In compliance with the request OF
several of former exhibitors, the as

during Thanksgiving week. Elite
hall in North Warren street has been
procured and work on the entry lists
and premiums will be started at once.
This will be the seventh annual ex-
hibition of the association.
Previous to last year, the Dover as
sociation,s exhibitions were well pat
ronized. exhibitors coming from all
parts of the country. Inability to OBJ
tain a show room of sufficient ca
pacity forced the officers to abandon
the project and combine with the
Morris County association. The anal
gamation did not meet with the sue
cess anticipated, hence the with
drawal. 1t is planned to conduct the
affairs on a smaller scale hereafter.
The Morris County association will
hold a show in Morristown on Thanks

indications the show in general and
the premium list will surpass any

THE TEACHING OF SPELLING.
Views of the State Commissioner ot
Education on the Subject.


Education on the Subject.
The state department of public in
struction with a view to improving
the spelling in the public schools of
New Jersey, has published thirty
page pamphlet for the use of teachers.
AS stated in the foreword it is not
a course of study, neither Is it a
plan for teacher to follow closely
in her daily work, but rather a state
ment of general method in the field
of spelling for the elementary grades.
The general subject and spelling in
the ungraded schools are treated by
State Commissioner Kendall in a
brief but scientific and practical man
ner, and articles on spelling in the
grammar and the primary grades are
written by specialists in those de
partments.
While it contains the latest theories
upon the subject, including the
psychology of spelling, it is interest
ing to note that it also advocates
oral spelling, sylabication and tn,
use of a spelling book, all of which
were tabooed by so-called spelling re
formers some thirty years ago.
| 1t is a little book but it contains
many valuable suggestions for teach
ers who are trying to establish per
fection as their standard for spell
| ing, and the state inspector will prob
/ ably look for results when he visit:
the schools.

STOVE WORKS PAYS Up. up.
Dover Gets Check for $13,158 for
Water Illegally Used.

After a last vain effort made sew
eral days ago, to get the Dover COM
mon council to throw something off
from the affirmative Judgment for
$13,01l07, plus costs, which the town
has held against the Richardson &
oynton Co. since February last, for
water taken from the town supply
without authority, the concern has
sent it's check for S13, ,15S.O7 to Elmer
King. Mr.. King represented Dover in
the long-drawn-0ut litigation which
reslted in the award stated.
1t was in the late fall of 1908 that
Charles p. Cook, of theDover water
department, succeeded in solving the
mystery of the theretofnre unaccount-
able disappearance of a large volume
of water from the towns low service
supply.
What Mr.. Cook discovered was that
employees of the Richardson & Boyn-
ton company were in the habit OF
turning on u valve connected with
a town main running through the
stove works premises and letting the
town water run into the company's
huge standpipe, which was supposed
to be filled from we'll owned by the
company.
A suit brought by the town through
Mr.. King resulted in a verdict in fa-
vor of Dover for $5,077.10.
This verdict Willard w. Cutler,
counsel for the Richardson & Boyn-
ton concern, in February, Oil, sue
ceeded in having set aside by the
Supreme court as excessive. and the
case was retired in May of. last year,
when verdict for S13,011.07 was re-
turned by a jury. This verdict was
affirmed by the court of errors in
February.

COMPLAINS OF RELEASE.
August IngIehart Claims He Was
"Shook Down" to Escape Jail.


An investigation may be made int
the circumstances attending the re
lease from jail of August Inglehart
who was arrested charged with ''peep
ing" His employer. Herman Fleugel
has engaged Charlton, A. Reed as
counsel. The story is that Inglehart
put up" $25 to secure his release
from jail, to which he was com
mitted by Police Justice Howard. II
is charged that Constable Max
Schlessinger acted as a go-between
and arranged matters
lnglehart was regularly committed
to await action by the grand jury
and after he was seen by the CON
stable discharge was sent up and
he was taken before the Justice at
his store, and another hearing had
where he was set free.
Justice Howard says that Inglehart
was committed for a re-hearing and
not for grand jury action Inglehart
sent for Schlessinger, who is a per-
sonal friend, and asked how he could
get out of jail. Schlessinger advised
that he hire lawyer and in reply to
question said he guessed it would
cost $40 or SIS. The day following
Schlessinger was at the jail with Mr..
Fennell to act as an interpreter for
the lawyer. Inglehart called to him
and asked again about a lawyer and
Schlessinger referred him to Fennell.
The latter told Inglehart it would be
worth $25 to defend him and Ingle-
hart paid over the money.
Thomas Moreland, who was the
complaining witness, finally discov-
cred that Inglehart was not the man
he thought had been prowling about
the neighborhood of Court street for
several nights. Such being the case
Justice Howard gave Inglehart an
other hearing and the case was dis
missed, there being no evidence up
on which to hold the man.
