DANGER IN coAsTINe.
Youngsters Take Their Lives in Their
Hands in Sport.

Youngsters Take Their Lives in Their
Hands in Sport.
The danger to the children in coast
ing across busy thoroughfares is a
matter that should receive attention
from the authorities. Almost daily
are narrow escapes from death or in
jury while horses are frightened and
occupants of carriages have their lives
jeopardized by possible runaways.
One of the worst places is on Wash
ington street near Mills street, where
the children coast down the hill on
private property and across Wash
ington street. There is constant dan
ger to the children from passing auto
mobiles while horses are frightened
by the quick dash of sleds past their
noses. Court street is another bad
place and there are many others
about town. The children should not
be permitted to coast on streets or
hills if they have to cross interest
secting thoroughfares.

SCHOOL NEEDS
INTEREST CIVICS
Glass Rooms Need Better
Lighting Facilities.

At a meeting of the Morristown
Civic association Friday night the
Women's Town improvement commit
tee handed in list of things needed
in Morristown with the request that
the association aid the women in
bringing them about.
DR.. F. Landon Humphreys presided
and read the list which was headed
by new high school building" After
listening to report by j. A. H. Hop
kins on the high school buildings of
Madison and Montclair and the state
ment that counsel had advised him
there were no legal difficulties, The
matter was left with the high school
committee to push.
The new post office was enumer-
ated but the item that brought con-
siderable discussion was better light
ing in the Maple avenue school build
ing and the employment of matrons in
the Maple and Speedwell avenue build
ings. After hearing William R. Halli-
day, member of the school board,
say that the board had the matter
in hand and would do something as
soon as it was able, the association
voted to have the secretary write to
the school board urging the two
items
The women's committee asserted
that special officer should be en-
ployed to seek evidence of disorderly
conduct at the railroad station at
night, to look into the attendance of
minors at theatres, the selling of
cigarettes to minors and the visiting
of minors to liquor saloons. This
was referred to the police committee.
Another recommendation was that
an agent should obtain evidence of
unsanitary and overcrowded conditions
in houses on Flagler, Race, Spring
and Bank streets. Miss Orpen, of
the Neighborhood house on Flagler
street. told of instances of unsanitary
conditions and asserted that last sum-
mer a man and his wife, together with
their seven children and ten boarders
occupied four rooms In house on
Flagler street.
The conditions of back yards on
Race street, she said, were deplorable,
while many of the houses on Flagler
and Race streets had dark kitchens
and many of the children were suf-
fering with eye trouble. These mat
ters were left to the sanitation COM
mittee to take up with he board of
health.
The collection by the town of ashes
and garbage, another point recon-
mended by the women's comittee, was
discussed and j. A FL. Hopkins was
appointed committee to bring the
matter before the board of aldermen.
Frank Abel was elected assistant
secretary of the association. The
next meeting will be a general one
and will be held on March Sth.
