The county school board having
ruled that teachers must not at
tend dances, play cards or stay
out on "joy-rides" later than 10
p. m, which The Herald approves,
it is moved that the rule be ex-
tended to include pupils as well
as teachers. If keeping late
hours incapacitates the teachers
for doing good work, it assuredly
has the same effect on their
pupils. All should keep their
minds and bodies in prime condi-
ton for the work in which they
are engaged.

One, and maybe the chief rea-
son why the Methodists in this
section of Florida are getting so
much free advertising of their
Centenary, is, that the newspaper
men are warmly attached to Rev.
EdW. r. Ley, publicity agent.
When Brother Ley goes to a
town, one of the first things he
does is to make himself "solid"
with the lbcal newspaper man,
and the rcStlt is that he possibly
has more eaitor friends than any
other member Of the Florida Con-
ference. But, if Brother Ley
isn't careful, some of us news

our heads to- run him for gov

Bass Season Opens in
This State Next Sunday

New Jerseys fishing season will be
in full swing after June Is, after
which date the catching of all the va
rieties of fresh water ass for which
Garden State" streams are famous,
will be legal. T he trout, salmon,
pike and pickerel seasons are now
open and the sportSmen will soon be
able to take his pick of any of the
gamey members of the flnny tribe that
he can lure out of the lakes and
streams. The bag-limit for black bass
is ten a day and the fish under nine
inches in length must be returned to
the water.
Owing to continuous rains which
kept the water in the streams high
and muddy, New Jersey anglers met
with discouraging conditions during
the first mont Of the trout season
but later catches, according to re-
ports from the favorite counties for
trout fishing, are beginning to make
up for early disappointments. Fish
ermen report that while plenty of
trout are to be seen in the streams
owing to the water conditions they
have not been rising to flies or taxi
ing other bait with their usual hungry
zeal. AS a result, New Jersey trout
fishermen will get their best sport, this
year, during the last half of the open
season, which closes July Is.

Sunday baseball contents, as far as
the Perth Amboys are concerned, will
be staged here for at least the next
three weeks pursuant to a decision
arrived at las night when the MEM
bers of this city's representative nine
met at the Cunningham Hotel on
Hobart street to discuss the advisa-
bility from a monetary standpoint of
continuing their present policy of
competing with outside teams on that
day.
The present scheme of playing
Sunday afternoons will be given a
three weeks trial and If after that
period elapses the team is 1 TO
meet expenses and secure first rate
diamond aggregations to play them,
games on Sunday will become a per-
manent factor in Perth Amboy.
For the next three Sundays strong
teams have been booked to oppose
Manager Joe Mullen's players. This
week the formidable Jamaica nine
from Long Island will journey here
to cross the bats with the Amboys.
