HAVE HIGH RANK
Cost Town $40.31 a Year Per
Pupil, According to Super
intendent Beachler.

In his monthly report at meeting
of the NutleyT Board of Education
last night, superintendent of Schools
John r. Bruchler gave an interest
ing comparison of the efficiency and
cost of maintenance of the schools
in the twenty-one municipalities IN
Essex County which showed, as he
put it, that the financial engineering
of the schools in Nutley vindicates
the Board of Education"
1t costs Nutley s40.S1 a year for
each pupil. According to Mr.. Bruch-
Ter the town ranks eighth. in cost
per capita, among the municipalities
of the county. The cost per student
to Nutley is s4.6s below the average
cost in the county, which is $44.99
With the cost based on the average
attendance Nutley with $50.s7, ranks
seventh among the county munich
palities. This amount is s457 below
the average for the county, which is
$3.50
As to the efficiency of the schools,
Mr.. Brachler declared, there is no
exact method of comparing them, eX-
cept by the work accomplished. He
assured the members that the schools
OF Nutley are holding their own in
efficiency with the others Of the
county.
Upon the recommendation of the
superintendent it was decided to
have the High School commence
ment exercises in June divided. Part
Of the time will be devoted to the
graduates and part to an address by
professional speaker. The teachers
committee was authorized to secure
a speaker at a cost not to exceed $50.
The girls in the dressmalzing class
will no longer be given their COM
pleted work. II has previously cost
from $500 to $500 annually to supply
dress material for the classes, which
when completed was given to the in
dividual doing the work. In the
future they will be allowed to pur-
chase it at the cost price of the
material and if this is not desired
the school will retain il.

ISHOW INTEREST
IN DOLLAR DAY.
Orange Business Men Offer
Suggestions to Trade
Board Committee.

Further plans for Oranges "Dollar
Day" were discussed last night by
the members of the industrial and
publicity committees of the Board of
Trade of that city. There were a
number of business men on hand to
offer suggestions. The event will take
place late this spring, If possible. An
effort will be made to bring out more
business men at the meeting next
Tuesday night.
A report of present conditions IN
Mt. Vernon, n. Y, where the dollar
day scheme was successfully carried
out on March II, was presented by j.
Alexander Neill, who made per-
sonal canvass of the merchants OF
that town in order to determine TO
what extent they had benef1ed. Mr..
Neill declared hat he found the Mt.
Vernon merchants universally opti-
mistic and cheerful, and thoroughly
convinced that dollar day had proved
a stimulus to trade not exceeded by
even the Christmas holidays.
Mr.. Nei1l told of the combinations
of dollar specials" made up by the
various merchants, who, he said,
take care of the business of that day.
The concensus of opinion among them,
he declared, seemed to be that the
chief benefit of the event would not
be the profits of dollar day, but in
the host of new customers gained and
the demonstration of the fact that
it was to the advantage of citizens 10
do their shopping at home.
The meeting next Tuesday, in oroei
to accommodate those merchants VINO
keep their places of business open
during the early evening, viii not
take place until o'clock. In the
meantime an effort will be made 10
interest others in the project by
special committee of merchants ap-
pointed last night to cooperate with
the board. The committee consists OF
Alexander Drummond, John Schwarz,
William Stein, William Vogel, Harry
Spingarn. Mark Morris, Alfred Klau-
ber, former Councilman Hugh J.
Brady and julius Bloch.

why cows that had been certified
up to six weeks ago by the Essex

the board to take more drastic ac-
tion.
