and on May 9Th. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on building

The clerk then rea the report of
the inspection by the State Board of
Education which called attention to
many details yet incomplete and ad-
vising the holding back of final pay
ment until such time that the con-
tractor finishes this work. The prin-
cipal difficulty is in the heating.
A petition was read from the officers
of the Athletic Association of the
South Amboy High School asking for
an appropriation of $25 toward the
athletic fund. The communication was
referred to the board as a committee
of the whole.
Mr.. Rus, chairman of the building
and grounds committee stated that
Mr.. Voss had not yet made the nee
essary repairs to the school as direct
ed and suggested that the board pro-
coed to secure someone to do the
work at his expense. The committee
on building and grounds, was instruc-
ted to secure the work completed at
the expens of the contractor.
The matter of improper heating or
the school was brought up. Mr.. Lew
inson claimed that it was not the faul
of the tombstone Heating Company
but a misunderstanding on the part
of the boards j~anitor. He stated that
been in South Amboy and given some
additional instructions to the ~janitor
and he now felt there would be no
further trouble.
The superintendent reported as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Junior and Senior School
building has reached the stage where
I feel perfectly secure in leaving the
office at any time for school vista
ton. During the past 1 have visit
ed for extended periods nearly all the
teachers and in general the condition
as to the results and character OF
work is satisfactory. The first bi-
monthly tests in grades Ave to twelve
were conducted the latter part of Oct
ober. The resuls are satisfactory.
Several requests have come to me
| within the past w months as to
| whether or not an evening school
would be maintained in this school
| during the winter. Not having any To-
cal appropriation for the purpose, j
took up the matter with the County
Vocational School Board. If our
equipment is satisfactory and the
county board has the funds W. can
have the school. If funds are avail
able they will supply and pay teach
ers provided we give the use of the
rooms with light. heat and janitor
| service.
After hearing the report of the
superintendent Of schools and author
izing him to proceed with the arrange
ments of the evening school, the board

Brains Not Their Strong Point.

Even an oyster has a brain of a
sort and a clam likewise. The brains
of fishes are very inferior, as com
pared with those of mammals, but the
optic lobes are enormously developed,
because finny creatures, to get the food
they need, must be able to see well in
dim light under water. Reptiles gen.
orally are very stupid creatures, and
so 1t is not surprising to find that their
brains are remarkably small. That of
a 12-foot alligator is no bigger than
your thumb.
