Delegations from this city and from
all sections of the state will attend a
hearing in the assembly chamber of
the state house at Trenton Saturday
morning on the Pierson Pension bill
Assembly Bill No. 134) before the
judiciary committee of the house, to
which committee the bill was re-
ferred.
The Pierson bill represents the ar
guments which the state teachers re-
tirement fund opponents have advo-
Gated in their opposition to Miss
Elizabeth A. Allen, of Hoboken, and
her contingent which ruled the retire
ment fund and which was ousted at
the December convention of the state
teachers at Atlantic City. Joseph +.
Walker, principal of school Nos. l
and Z is a member of the legislative
committee of the state association and
viii attend the hearing.
Alexander j. 'Giennie, of Newark,
president of h state teachers asso-
citation, has senta out an urgent call
that as many teachers be present at
the hearing as possible. prepared TO
indicate the sentiment of the teach
ers they represent, as to the basic
principles of the bill and amend
ments they would deem necessary to
make the bill entirely satisfactory.
The bill was framed by the pension

the state after an investigation of two
years. It has been drawn along lines
of scientific pension systems recently
established in this country and
abroad. 1t provides for reorganiza-
ton on an acturial basis and gradual
consolidation of the existing retire
ment system for the teachers in this
state-the Teachers Retirement Fund
and the thirty-five year service half
pay pension.
All members of the retirement are
released of any obligation to contrib
ute and belong to the fund. The pro-
visions compelling future appointees
to belong to it is to be repealed. Any
teacher now in the service may, if he
SO elects, become q member of the
new retirement system, which will op-
crate on an actuarial basis and will be
supported Jointly by the teachers and
by the state.
For future appointees membership
in the new system is made compul.
sorry. Each member well contribute
one-half of the cost of his rtirement
benefit on account of future service
The state will contribute the other
half on that account, and, in addition
the entire cost on of past
service. 1t will place each member
in the same position as If he and the
state contribute on his account at the
proper rate from the time he en-.
tered he service up to the present
time.
Old contributions are to be paid or

sufficient to pay his retirement allow.
