Appeared for Bermuda District.

Mr.. LaSSited then took the floor He
! spoke in glowing terms of the affairs
. in the Bermuda School District. and
had no criticism to make of the state
, department.
He defended the action of the de-
partment in allowing more money TO
be spent In the Bermuda District but
made no mention Of the reports of the
county. which, II was charged. had
been altered in the office Of the De-
partment of Education: neither did
he answer the charge that the re-
ports or the county schools were NOT
required as the law provides; nor did
ne reply to the charge that other vio-
iatiohs OF the law were allowed. He
hau announced, however, that he was
present to represent Bermuda District
only. and not the State department
superintendent EggleSton followed
he SAID that II was impossible to get
men 10 give all of their time to school
,iia.'eIs IN the county when the salary
was only 1875 a year. He said that
conditions in Chesterfield were excel
tent. and that all his books were omen
az all times. He thought that DR..
ttazen. as division superintendent. had
been very satisfactory.
He then introduced DR.. HazAr vvho
told of the hardships under which ne
had labored. and how he had sacri-
need much of his medical practice
Tor the schools He said that In MAX
ing up his reports he had done the
best he could. He could not ALWAYS
get the right figures. he said.
asked by l.. L. Kipps. one of the

port was correct, DR.. Hazen replied
that in general II was correct, but

ngures OF the previous years report

tinaated some amounts.
Asked IL he did not think this
method-Sdnce IL concerned money
was rather lax. he replied that he
could not say. He did the best he
could.
Acting Division Superintendent
Strother was then introduced by MT
Esgleston. He said that conditions
In Chesterfield were very prosperous:
that the county was making great
advances. and that the Department of
Public Instruction was doing every
thing in it's power TO advance the
cause OF education not only in Ches-
terneld. but in every part Of the State
Secretary Stearnes, of the Depart
ment of Public instruction, then took
the floor. He entered into a lengthy
but interesting, technical discussion
of the methods OF keeping the re-
cords.

committee of Chesterfield citizens

planned everything.

be placed on the cars and sent back

New Brunswick several times a day.
If the government will make the
investigation 1t will, doubtless, find
that a great deal more mail passes
between these two cities than passes
between Perth Amboy and Totem
vile. Therefore, if it finds the re
quirements warrant a direct service
between the two latter places, it
much certainly be convinced that a
direct service is all the more needed
between here and the county seat.
The Atlantic Terra Gotta Com
pany has shown us that keeping
everlastingly at it brings success.
Probably if those who want service
to New Brunswick the most would
keep at the matter with sufficient
energy success would finally be at
tanned.
