Orange Schools to Open
Earlier for Fall Season

Orange school children will start
! their 1915-1916 school year on Septem-
Der / and end the year. June 49, 1916.
This new rule was authorized by the
! Board of Education and has been re-
ceived by the pupils with mingled
feelings. Many are inclined to believe
the lengthening of the school year
means the first step in what is ex-
pected to be a State wide movement
for the year round school term. The
children this year will conclude their
studies on June %.
Custom has usually deferred the
opening of the classes until after
Labor Day, but this year the children
will be at their books prior to that
date. AS the States appropriation to
Orange schools approximates $500
daily, the extra week added to the
study period will mean $4,000 to the
city. The increasing number of holi-
days lessons the days the children at
| tend classes and educators in many
cities have for some time discussed
schools open even through the sum-
/ mer months.

Despite her appeal to be excused
on the ground that she did not, as
she expressed it, wish to blow her
own horn" Mrs. Joseph d. Little, a
member of the Nutley Board of Edu-
cation, was obliged to give a sum-
mary of the work done by her during

ernoon of the four federated woman's
clubs, in that town: The Woman's
Club, the Improvement Society, the
Friday Afternoon Club and the Pub
lie School Auxiliary The meeting
was held in the Woman's Clubhouse.
Among the things mentioned by
Mrs. Little, who is beginning her
third year in office and one which
appealed to the women present, was
the fact that she represented the
school board and was the only woman
delegate present at the annual con-
vention of District Boards of Edu-
cation which was held in Trenton last
fall. Mrs. Little was given an ova-
ton when she declared that she was
instrumental in having Mrs Will
lam s. Douglas, an ardent worker
for the affiliated college at Rutgers,
address the convention in behalf of
that cause.
Other things accomplished by her
were A visit to every class in the
Nutley school system, wherefrom she
has obtained a clear idea of their
working; the establishment, during
her first year on the board, of night
gymnasium class for girls who are
employed or busy during the day.
the meetings of which she supervised
every Monday night for over a year,
and her success in having a stage
with the latest improved fireproof
curtain erected in the Park School
auditorium.

$4,000 CUT OFF
SCHOOL BUDGET
IN EAST ORANGE
Council Representatives on Es-
innate Board Using Prun-
ing Knife.

Compelled to do the pruning, they
explained, because the city will prob
ably be forced to spend large sums
this year the representatives Of the
East Orange Beard Of School Esti-
mate last night reduced the budget Of
the Board of Education 5000. After
celebrating over the items until near
midnight, the board fixed the sum
at $685., ,440, eff which $19S 500 will have
to be raised by taxation. The repre-
ses'tatives of the Board of Educa-
tlon seemed thankful the councilmen
did not do additional cutting.
Councilman George A. Grover was
responsible for cutting $500 off the
manual training appropriation. Mr.
Grover moved that $21 900 be allowed
for this department, and after the
school commissioners approved the
figure they resretfully discovered
the original sum had been S21 800
The figure remained at the smaller
sum, though the commissioners de-
clared the decrease would be sorcly
felt in the department. This was
the biggest reduction of any item.
Year after year the councilmanic
ously argued that the school com
missioners should keep the budget
much lower, and the arguments were
reiterated last night. Mr. Grover en-
phasized to the officials that the city
is facing serious situation in raising
sufficient money to meet it's obliga~
tions. and he told the board men,
bers the school expenses must be kept
down.
The manual training appropriation
was considered greatly excessive, but
the councilmen agreed to allow the
big sum after being informed of the
work that is accomplished by pupils
of the department. Mostly all of the
sum granted will be needed for the
salaries of the instructors the school
commissioners explained.
Appropriations reduced besides the
manual training item were: Superin-
tendent, supervisors and teachers
salaries. from $247, 300 to $247, 900: re-
pairs to buildings. from $17 900 to
1000; repairs to grounds. from
$4,000 to S2,700, and equipment, from
$1,000 to $500
The budget, as approved, was as
follows: Interest on bonds, 1890: sal
aries of superintendent, supervisors
and teachers, 1891 .S32.5o; ianitors' sal
aries, etc, s25, 100; light, heat and
ventilation, $4,000; repairs to build
ings, $4,000; repairs to grounds and
assessments, $4,000; equipment, $1,000;
books and supplies, $4,000; water,
$3.50; manual training, $20,5o0; sum-
mer schools, $4,000; medical inspec-
ton, s2,75O; administration, 1850;
total, $349, ,14250.
