A warning to the American boy
to take full advantage of tho high
school course OF education lest his
foreign-born brother outstrips him
was recently made at q teachers
convention at Syracuse, N. Y, by
q prominent educator. There are
to-day at least forty vocations
which require q high school edu-
cation by way Of preliminary train
ing, and tho boy who quits school
before the four years high school
course shuts against himself the
door OF opportunity and makes it
impossible for himself to enter tho
vocations which aspire to be rank
cd with the professions. At the
rate at which foreigners are CON-
ing to our shores, that their chill
dren may have the benefit of the
FREQ schools of our country. there
is but one possible outcome if the
American boy does not apply him.

foreign shores. Already places

FOR EFFECT.

Some time ago, ono of the ring
members of tho present School
Board thought it was unfair for
the present Town authorities to
charge the High School for tho
use of light and water and made q
motion that . committee appear
before the Council asking that
free light and water be continued
as in the past.
But this committee did not ap-
pear before the Council, which in
dicatss that the motion was sim
ply made for political effect, to
show that the present administra-
ton was not a. friendly to the
schools as tho past one.
To show the real condition Of
things We will deal with facts and
figures aud the public will be able
to judge for themselves.
The books of the town shows
that in 1907 the town paid the
School Board $25. in 1908 $500. GO
in 1909 .s329.37 in 1900, $500 in
1912, $698.07 aud to obtain these
amounts the School Board had to
beg the Council and the amount
OF 1912 was obtain by force of a
suit which was decided against tho
town.
The present administration las
paid the schools in 1912 $252.54
and in 1913 $567.39 making a to-
tsl Of 1920 80 aud the present ad-
ministration still owe to tho schools
taxes not yet collected, the total
appropriation 3-mills on the total
assessment, amounting to 81, 269.27
and the school need not beg for
what is duo them, they got their
check every month for what 10
collected for them.
Aud besides these facts, the
plant, on account Of tho high price
of fuel is running with a loss and
the management have decided that
no free lights and water will DO
given to no ono. Not even to the
High School. But they will get
every cent that they have a right
to.

The Last Hope Gone.

The defeated politicians of the
town RUG have always boon living
in the hope that the Supreme
Court, as a last resort, would give
them relief in the contested elec-
ton case for the office of Mayor of
NJ. l.. Broussard vs Albert Bisn-
venu.
Tho case was tried before the
District Court and Broussard lost,
it was appealed to the Circuit
Court OF Appeals and Broussard
again lost.
1t was then appealed to the Su.
prsme Court. applying for a cor
tiorari, or writ of review, to the
Court of Appeals. which applica-
ton Was refused. This decision
was rendered by Justice Provosty.
This election was under tho en-
tire control of the defeated ring
and they should have bsen good
enough to let the thing pass with
out contest a. they should have
had good judgment enough to
know they were fighting in vain.
Their last hope 10 gone.

Julia Murdock Tells of Belascos
First Appearance As Movies Actor
Play Producer Gets Five Dollar
Check for His "Acting" as
Manager Of His Company.

~ NE may. always expect some
III thing surprising and out Of the
~ ordinary from David Belasco.
but perhaps the most exciting
news that has been given the public
concerning this wizard Of the drama is
that his face will soon be seen In mo-
ton pictures. Our old friend Belasco,
who has brought success to 20 many
struggling young artists. and who has
placed himself on record a. being an
earnest believer In the bright future of
moving pictures. has been taken. him
self.
The story Of how he came to be a
motion picture actor II funny. too. As a
matter Of fact. Mr.. Belasco 4dn.t know
that his smiling visaSe and weli-known
lock Of gray haiS were TO be exhibited
until long after the picture was taken.
and not until check for S was sent
him from the Famous Players Film
Company. This check bore on its mar
gin for talent" and it may be that
when Mr.. Belasco received It he be-
lieved that clerical error had been
made. and that the check called for
$500, or even 5000. instead of the modest
little figure named. for this master of
stage craft Is more accustomed TO re-
ceive his payment in larger figures.
