.L|NDER'S ELECTION
NOT A LEGAL ACT
Rulings Require Majority Vote,
One Vote Not Enough.

The board of education attempted
to-, make William H. Linder it's clerk
at a meeting on Friday evening but
failed as only one member of the
board voted for 1inder, the other
four members not voting at all. 1t
will now be necessary for the board
To- make Linder's selection legal to
hold another election for district clerk
and sufficient of the members to vote
for him SO that a majority of the
votes will be in his favor as required
by rulings of the state board of edu-
cation. -
That the board of education did not
relish its task was evident from the
.hesitancy shown and by the fact that
Linder received only one vote, four
of the members not voting at all.
After routine business had been
transacted President Hinchman asked
if anyone had any motions to make.
There was pause, no one saying any
thing. Then Mr. Hinchman said he
had been handed letter by Parsons

SUN DIAL UNVEILED AT
COLLEGE OF ST. ELszA5ETH
Alumni of College Present the Dial
as Gift to Alma Matsr With
Ceremonies. S--i-sn-.-

One of the most interesting events
of commencement week at the Col
lege of St. Elizabeth this year was
the formal unveiling of handsome
sun dial presented by the class of
1912 A large number of students
and friends witnessed the ceremony,
which took place on the grassy ter
race near the conservatory. Little
Marie Schmitz of the academic school
was chosen tot lift the veil from the
dial The presentation speech was
made by Margaret E. Farrell, A. M,
president of the class of 1912.
The Nature Study club OF the high
school department sang paraphrase
of the motto II mark not the hours
unless they be bright" Miss Nell
O'DonnelIy Prince, Of the class of
1913, then presented d. B. Sheahan,
the maker of the dial and one of the
most famous of living dialists. Mr.
Sheahan declared himself a lover of
youth, and thought youth and old age
the most appropriate combination in
nature. He noted the proximity OF
the dial to Che plant house, and com
mented upon the similarity between
plants and dials. Both are in alb
solute need of the sun. He prayed
that the youth there before him would
always have in their lives all the
sunshine that God intended they
should have and that It would last
well into the evening.
The Rev, Joseph Gately, the chap
lain of the college, then blessed the
dial, and all joined in the hymn 'sHai
Mary"
Miss Farrell, the speaker en- this oc
casion, has just returned from the
University of Chicago, where she re
ceived her masters degree in the de
partment of botany She received hei
degree of b. A. at st. Elizabeth
last June. She has been engaged il
research work at the university ant
her thesis is the expression of yer,
clever discovery in the plant world.

Upper League.

Ihe sponsors of the league are well
satisfied with the result of the play
ing, taking the stand that when boys
play steadily for three months they
will do other things with the same
persistency. Education, it is said,
is accomplished by doing and it is
pointed out that these boys by doing
baseball persistently have enjoyed an
excellent form of motor education
The league proved one thing to be
needed in Morristown, . a baseball
field for the exclusive use of the pub
lie schools. The league games were
played on three different fields and
We're subject in some cases to ground
rules which made these particular
games unsatisfactory. An effort will
be made next year by the Young
Mems Christian association to secure
an athletic field in which event these
league games will be taken care of
and the boys will not be forced to in
trude on the playground field or the
fields of professional teams which
have been kindly loaned to the lads
when not in use by their owners.

The correct lamp shade of the moment

rule, the shades are now made OF cottons

than gasoline both because the odor of
alcohol is not generally so offensive as
that of gasoline, and because it evaporates
more quickly and because il irritates the
