The city of Passaic and the city Of
Paterson Joined in an application to
the Public Utility Commission for a

per thousand feet for gas charged by
the Public Service Corporation in the
so-called Passaic gas district.

mission fixed a valuation on the
company's property in the Passatc
gas district of about s4,000,0O0 for
physical property and little over
s1.0000O0 for what they called going
concern value, and they held that
the company was entitled to earn s
per cent. upon this capitalization,
and further held that a rate of nine

the cne dollar previously charged
would be sufficient to insure this re-

it would still further increase If
there were an open and convenient
road TO normal school training. n
larger number of girls would go
through high school with the inten-
ton of teaching, and many others
would attend who do not now go. to
high school at all.
"a considerable number of teach
ers in South Jersey who are teaching
without normal school training would
go to a normal school for the purpose
of increasing their equipment as
teachers If one were located in that
part of the State This fact was
forcibly brought to my attention
within the past week by two teach
ers in South Jersey, who voluntarily
gave this information to me, in eX-
pressing their wish that a normal
school might be established nearer
their homes.
There appears to be little doubt
that normal school in South Jersey
could be filled with young women
from that part OF the State who would
eagerly seek it's advantages, and this
without any serious encroachment on
the attendance at the normal school
at Trenton. DR.. Green the principal
of the State Normal School, at Tren-
ton, reports that approximately 1850
young women were rejected at that
school this year because of lack of
room.
"A comparison of our figures of last
year with those Of Connecticut and
Massachusetts is interesting.
There is one normal school grad
uate to every 1887 persons In the to-
tai population of Massachusetts one
normal school graduate to every 3,176
persons in Connecticut and one nor
NAL school graduate 10 every 5,445
persons in New Jersey.
For each normal school graduate
in Massachusetts there are 652 public
school pupils, for each normal school
graduate in Connecticut there are 564
public school pupils and for each nor
nal school graduate in New Jersey
there are 1,02S public school pupils.
THE amount expended for normal
schools for each person of the popula-
ton in Massachusetts is 14.2 cents, in
Connecticut it is 1876 cents for each
person of the population, while in
New jersey it is only lie cents for
each person Of the total population of
