Dismissal Approved.

After long consideration of the mat
of the township of Lumberton in dis
missing teacher has been upheld by
the State Board of Education. Miss
Ella Conrow is deaf and the local Board
contended that her services were not
as efficient as they would have been had
she been in full possession of her hearing.
Miss Conrow was discharged and she at
once took exception to the action, claim
ing she had not been given the right of
trial and had not been allowed to put in
any defence. In this contention she
was right so the board began over again
and preferred charges against her in the
manner prescribed by law and gave her
a hearing. The result was the sustain
ing of the charges and the dismissal of
the teacher.
Between the period and the time of
her trial Miss Conrow procured an appli-
ance which she claimed gave her suf-
ficient hearing power to be able to dis
charge her duties. She had taught for
some time prior to her dismissal and she
claimed the board knew of her detection
but did not take any action against her.
In January, 1913, when she was dismiss
sed, she said her hearing was no more
defective than in the previous years but
that by the aid of the APP iiance referred
to it was really better. She urged that
as teachers were allowed to wear glasses
to improve their vision, those with de-
fective hearing should likewise be allow
ed to carry ACQUISITIONS.
After the local board had decided to
dismiss Miss Conrow she appealed to the
State Commissioner of Education and
presented the facts as stated above. After
carefully listening to the case assistant
Commissioner J. b. Belts decided that
the board had not acted legally and that
Miss Conrow must be reinstated. The
board then took the matter to the state
board and that body has reversed the
finding of the assistant Commissioner
and has decided that the young lady
was properly and legally removed. The
state board took into full consideration
the wearing of the ACQUISITION, but it was
admitted that hearing with it is to some
extent dependent upon the direction
from which the sound comes.
On the suggestion that board could
not dismiss teacher because all the
years she had been employed she had
been deaf, the state board held that it
could not subscribe to such doctrine be-
cause in such event sympathetic
board might confer life tenure upon an
incompetent teacher.

Political Notes.

Having made a success of his cont est
for Freebooter from Burlington, DIR. r.
b. Glasgow is looking for larger field
to conquer and will be candidate for
county clerk on the Democratic ticket
next fall.
State Road Commissioner Stevens is
said to be in quandary on the matter
of recognizing the road supervisor from
this county. MIR. Roberts has opinions
from eminent authority that he is en-
titled to retain the office and Commits
sioner Stevens is so much in doubt that
he is said to have asked the Attorney
General for his views on the subject.
In an exchange we notice an announce
ment by POSTMASTER" Winner, of Pal
myra. Is Winner still postmaster at
Palmyra? We thought he was told to
resign, which he refused to do, and was
told if he did not get out voluntarily he
would be kicked out, proceeding he in
vited. Can it be that the post Office de
partment has been playing big game
of bluff with Winner? At any rate he
appears to be going on in the same old
way.
The question has been frequently
asked "How does Senator White stand
on the appointment of Judge?" We
are not authorized to speak for the Sen
ator, but would think he was not tax
ing any special interest in the matter
After the way he was treated last win.
ter, being thrown down by Governor
Fielder because Tom Birch and Dick
Hughes said SO, one would suppose that
Senator White would keep his fingers
out of the Judge pie. Tom Birch is in &
foreign land and Dick Hughes is a
home looking after the Democratic par
ty in this county. Let the appointing
of Judge and the subsequent results
rest on his head. What will the DickN
bird say?

Possible Extension.

A report is current that the Tuckerton
Railroad has been purchased by the
Pennsylvania line and will be extended
to Atlantic City, giving Americas great
est railroad direct line between New
York and the greatest coast resort city
via the coast line.
The man responsible for the rumor
showed a news item clipped from an
Atlantic City paper, telling where a
number of business men were going to
apply to the Public Utilities Commits
sion for permit to establish new rail-
road terminal in that city. AT the
present time it is known that the p .R.R.
people are anxious TO get short route to
Atlantic City from New York, which
would enable them to share some of the
traffic to that city both in freight and
passengers, which is now being cared fol
by the New Jersey Central. The Tuck
erton Railroad is now laying 100 pounC
rails between Writings and Tuckertor
and the freight on the latter end of the lin
has increased to such proportions tina
this might well have been an incentiv
for the p. r. r. to buy.

VineIand Training School COLONY

A large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Burlington county committee for
the Vineland Training School Colony
took place in Burlington on Tuesday.
Most of the towns of the county we're
represented or sent reports of the amount
collected or pledged in each. The sum-
ming up was as follows: Riverton, 81, 3S9;
Pemberton, $S2S.57; Moorestown, 5000;
Riverside, $500; Medford, 1854; Florence
$3.50; Burlington, s319.50; Beverly, 5000;
Marlton, SAB; Vincentown, $SO.75; Lum-
berton, $50; Rancocas, $50; Georgetown,
S25; Jobstown, 81. Total, $5,206.S2.
Mr.. tombstone was present and, at the
request of the committee, assured them
that work will be started Immediately.
The prospective director of the Burling-
ton County Colony met with the COM
mittee and the greatest amount of en-
couragement was received by them for
completing the necessary funds. Those
towns that have already made liberal
donations offered to try to raise an addi-
tiOnal sum. This should not be neces-
sary and will not be, when Burlington,
Bordentown and Mount Holly have been
thoroughly canvassed for contributions.
The meeting was open for discussion
upon the subject of the proper name OF
the Colony. The result was as follows:
Burlington County Colony of Training
School at Vineland, New Jersey" The
name of the person in charge of the
Colony was left undecided until future
meeting. The manner of transferring
the money from the treasurer of the
Colony to the hands of the VinelanC
authorities was discussed and motion
stone, at Vineland, pass through tn,
hands of the secretary to the treasurer o
the Colony.
Mr.. tombstone pictured the possible
future of the present Colony COMMITTEE
in its relation to the new Colony in Bur
lington county. He assured the mem
bers of the committee that the compile
ton of the fund was the beginning O
the interest in the Colony and that
Board would be selected from the mum
, Der to assist with the affairs of tn
Colony. The president, Mr.. Bishop, ap
pointed three committees of two each t.
canvas the towns that have not re
sponded thoroughly and have chairmel
appointed for places that have not we
been reached.
The next meeting of the Colony com
mittee will be in Burlington, at call o
the president.

Protest Entered.

At the annual meeting of the North
ampton Fire Department there wa
much discussion over the sums to b.
given to each fire company from thu
annual appropriation. Each organiza
ton contended that it's expenses wert
such as to require large proportion o
the sum and after very spirited debate
it was decided to ask the township com
mittee to divide the money as follows
$3.50 to each of the engine companies
500 to Union; $500 to America. When
the vote was taken Robert S. Gaskill
president, made personal count and
declared the proposition agreed to by
majority of ten votes. 1t was supposed
that this settled the matter but at the
last meeting of the township committee
protest was entered by America Hose
company against the division as stated
above and asked that some action be
taken to change the distribution. The
township committee communicated with
president Gaskill, suggesting that he
1 >~'S--
| fire company to look into the matter
and report to the township committee.
Mr.. Gaskill does not feel inclined to act
thus as he says the matter was fairly
settled at the annual meeting of the
department, which was largely attended
| by representatives from all the COM
panies. 1t is claimed that president
Gaskill did not count the vote accurately
but that is nonsense. He gave that part
of the proceedings particular attention
and when he announced the vote there
was not dissenting voice.
The manner in which this money shall
be distributed is entirely in the hands OF
the township committee, but that body
has always been ready to receive sug-
gestions and the action of the members
of the department, expressed at the
annual meeting, has been taken as a
basis on which to give out the money
President Gaskill will act exactly right if
he declines to do anything that will in
terfere with the resolution adopted in
September. The matter was thoroughly
discussed and was thought to have been
settled and it is hard to see what good
can come by rehashing it now by the
appointment of committee. If the
township authorities are in doubt about
the business of the distribution possibly
it would be well for them to call upon
each fire company to present an item
lied account of receipts and expenditures
for the past few years and thus gain an
idea of what is done with the township
money and discover which company is
in the most need. All heads of depart
ments and officials handling funds are
required to present detailed statement
of their acts, while the money to the fire
companies is handed over just because
the companies say they need certain
amount. If they were compelled to tell
just how much money they spend in
year it might give more light on the
subject.
