Interest Aroused

While there have been several bills
introduced in the Legislature which
have created much interest, that by
Assemblyman Stille, Of Cape Nav,
which provides for the adjustment of
the Office of Commissioner of Edu-
cation and going back to the old sys-
tenn of State Superintendents, has
caused some people to sit up and take
notice. 1t may be recalled that the
present system was instituted a few
years ago and that, under the provis-
ions of the law then enacted, Governor
Wilson went to Indiana and got a man
who has been able to pull down a sal
airy OF $40, 900 year, when it might lust
as well have been kept at home. There
has not been any appreciate advance
ment in educational affairs under the
new system and Assemblyman Sdlle
introduced his bill with the idea that
harm could not come from going back
to the original way and he also thought
there might be saving to the state bv
reducing the salary of the chief officer
to $1,000 with incidental cuts that
would make the sum total much less
than that which has been the result of
the new law whereby there has been a
great increase in the educational de-
partment.
The law that is now under considera-
ton will mean much. The Wildwood
San says it will mean home rule for
our schools and that the state educa-
tional programme may be carried out
by men who are familiar with local
needs and not by those who are inn
ported at increased salary simple be-
cause of friendship or political pull.
The stir" caused over the introduce
ton OF this bill was not the only one.
A meeting of the State Board of
Education was called for one evening
this week and the report is that the
notices mentioned New York as the
place Of meeting, while the laws of the
state require that the meeting be held
in New Jersey. The report also saws
that the president of the State Board |
refused to go out the state to attend |
a meeting. The matter is said to have
been explained by the statement that
the clerk who issued the notices made |
an error in naming the place, but the
question naturally arises ION what
authority did the clerk issue a notice
and by what chance did be orshe have
to make such an error?''
Is the clerk the person who takes all
this responsibility or is it suggested by
somebody higher in authority The
reason for the meeting was said to
consider legislation" The new law
is not to the liking Of many but that it
is good movement is beyond doubt
and it is to be hoped it will be success
fully carried through.

Random Remarks.

/ There is hope" for Pennsylvania.
An earnest effort is being made to
abolish those roads in that state for the
use OF which travellers are compelled to
pay toll that is out OF proportion to
the condition of the highway. Toll
gates on the Germantown and Willow
Grove tollroad have been closed and
| 1t is expected that before the summer
travel begins the old York road be-
tween Philadelphia and Willow Grove
may be used without the person
in private conveyance being held up
several times to hand out nickel.
The Iowa Department of Justice has
ruled that newspapers printing the
American flag at the head of their edi-
torial columns or in any other place
are violating the Federal law. The
statute provides that no flag or repre-
sentation Of flag shall be printed or
stamped on any article Of merchandise.
Many newspapers throughout the
country carry representation OF the
stars and stripes at the head Of their
columns. Somebody in Iowa seems
to have taken notice of this action and
the courts Of that state have ruled as
noted above. not giving their own
opinion but simply enforcing what has
been national law for some time.
Do not sass the telephone girl. If
you do there is possibility that you
may lose the right to have the talking
machine in your house. A subscriber
in New York who became too proficient
ia the art of ''sassing has been punish
ed by having. his name cut off the
books of the company and the Public
Utility Commission also decided that
the privilege of telephone service
should not be restored to him. The
witnesses for the telephone company
said the man was "the author OF pro-
fame and obscene language over the
telephone. The offender put the
matter in different shape. He said:
II called EN- bum operators, and
maybe did say wished they'd break
a leg. / know told the manager he
would be better success as a street
cleaner than as a telephone man. You
pick up the receiver and ask for num-
Der. Then you wait five minutes and
wiggle the hook, and central says
What NUMBER just as if she hadn't
heard it before. Then you wait ten
minutes more and wiggle the hook
again. You get peevish and ask why
you can't get service. Then you
get snap in the ear that nearly bursts
your ear drum and you hear somebody
giggIe, All right, Sheeney.'"
OF course we all have had some sort Of
exasperating occurrences in connection
with the telephone service. We have
called and waited and "wiggled' the
hook possibly to be given a wrong
number, to be told Zine busy"
maybe we have been called up
at midnight, and compelled to run,
scantily clad, shaking with cold and
with the possibility that there was bad
news necessitating call at that hour,
and then when the receiver was taken
down, the reply was in sweet tones,
"beg pardon, we have called the wrong
number. y There are lots of little
| things that may have been annoying.
possibly the fault Of the subscriber.
possibly not, but it does not make any
difference. the Public Utility Commits
sion of New York says you must not
sass" the operator, and that settles it.

That Seaside Park and Seaside
Heights should unite and become one
town was the unanimous opinion ex-
pressed at one Of the most largely-at-
tended meetings ever held by the Sea-
side Park Board Of Trade. A resolu-
ton to that effect drafted by B. M.
Gould, who is secretary Of the Board
as well as the secretary of the United
Board Of Trade, was adopted without a
dissenting voice. It was suggested
that an appropriate name for the com
bined towns would be Seaside CITY, !,
and it was decided to suggest this
name to the Mayors and Councils of
the two boroughs, which adjoin. The
respective Councils were asked to take
immediate action upon the resolution.

the railroad station, on Saturday.

gers waiting for an evening train. Ken

that he had been conscious of no SEN

AUTOS RELIEVE RAILROADS.

Extensive use of the automobile for
touring purposes has done a very "big
bit" by relieving the railroads Of the
necessity of providing as much sum-
mer transportation facilities for pas
sengers as formerly and thus enabling
them to take off certain number Of
passenger trains and utilizing the To-
comotives in freight service, thus re-
lieving the freight congestion that has
worried the nation for the past six
months.
There is no doubt in the least that
as a touring vehicle the automobile
will eat even more into the railroad
business after the war. Our national
parks in the west are being visited by
thousands Of persons, and it would be
interesting to learn the percentage
that visit them by automobile.
The gasoline carrier is opening up
the country more efficiently to tourists
than the railroads ever did, and it en-
ables them to reach hooks and cram
MES that formerly were largely I'M
touched.

Germany is not yet ready for peace,
although the Reichstag makes the
statement that Germany went to war
to protect her freedom, her territory
and her trade. Nobody was threaten
ing the freedom of Germany nor her
territory and her trade did not suf-
fer. AS soon as the German masses
learn the untruth of the above state
ment and learn that this is a war brot
to enable emperors to continue their
iron rule, the sooner this war will end
This war must continue until Germany
is thoroly sick of it.
