School Matters

IHE NEWS has received complaint
-verbal-from a taxpayer who has a
: grievance against some of the actions
at the public school, with the request
that the matter be given publicity in
these columns. We decline to do this
Tor more than one reason. First, an
employe of this Office was recently de-
feated for reelection to membership on
the Board OF Education, and we will
not allow anything to be published
that might be unjustly construed as
indicating any personal animus on his
part (which does not exist as originate
ing articles that may appear in this
paper. The editor is absolutely respon-
sible for everything that appears in
these columns. Another reason for
not publishing the complaint is that
the person making them has his redress
in the matter. He is at liberty to 20
to the Board of Education and hay
before it anything that relates to school
affairs. If some of the reports that
have recently come to light are even
half true the courts can be appealed to
with certainty that something will
be DONE
There is no doubt that there have
been actions in at least one depart
ment of the school that need decisive
action, but that is up to the Board of
Education, which body is, and has
been, fully informed about the matter.
That it may be depended upon to
work for the benefit of the school,
all believe. If, however, It's men,
bers do not take notice of things
that are not according to law, and
that are to the possible disadvant-
age of the scnool, the responsibility is
theirs. Our friend can safely leave
this matter to the Board of Education,
which is composed of our very best
citizens

Robbery Cases Heard

Criminal matters had precedence
Thursday, before Judge Wells. Charles
A. Genther and Frank A. Henderson
signed waiver of indictment and
pleaded guilty to breaking and enter
ing, by day, and larceny. The two
men were walking along the road in
Maple Shade and they saw a house
with sign on it "for sale. This gave
them the idea that the house was not
tenanted and they broke open a win
dow. They found large amount of
goods that they could carry away and
they at once proceeded to appropriate
them. Various articles to the value of
$1s1.40 were stolen, and then the men
wandered through Mount Holly and
reached the farm occupied by Frank
Atkinson, near Columbus, where they
made another haul, this time amount
ing to 1914. They were sent to the
county Jail for six months. Judge
Wells said he hesitated between the
Jail and the state prison, but as they
were both young and would possibly
walk straight hereafter he would let
them off with the minor punishment.
Another larceny case was that of
George Sutton, Albert Rentz and Fred
Angelow. They pleaded non vult.
One of the men told story of walking
along the road near Fairview and night
came on, with shower. They saw an
automobile which had broken down
and had been left by its owner so they
crept into the machine to sleep. Next
morning they discovered there was
some butter on the back seat so they
appropriated it. The spokesman of
the crowd tried to put the blame on
Angelow but he told a different tale
which impressed the judge more than
that of the first fellow. One of the
men has a record which entitled his
picture to place in the rogues' gallery.
He was sent to Jail for thirty days.
Sentence was suspended on the other
two. After sentence had been passed
Angelow asked permission to speak
again, but he had not gone very far
when the Judge had suggested that he
had better keep quiet or the truth
might come out.
Francis Barr, who was found guilty
the previous week, of stealing motor
cycle, was allowed to go on probation.
1t was disclosed at the trial that the
man thought the owner of the motor
owed him money and he took the
machine to get what he considered
was coming to him. Judge Wells re-
minded the man that such proceed
ing was not the proper one and while
the offence was not as serious as other
causes which came before the court it
must be understood that nobody has a
right to take the law in his own
hands. After he had been released he
was arrested by an officer from Read
ing, Pa, where he is wanted on a
charge of receiving stolen goods.
Joseph Let's pleaded not guilty to a
charge of neglect of his wife and child
rem. The wife sent physicians GER
tificate showing she was not able to at
tend court and the case went over for q
week.

Along the Shore.

George A. Mott, of Tuckerton, was
elected president of the National AS
ISOLATION of Fisheries Commissioners,
at their meeting in New Haven, Conn,
the past week. Mott is a we'll known
oysterman, and is director of the de-
partment of shell fisheries in New
Jersey. The convention began cam
paign to stop the pollution of waters
where fish and shellfish can be raised
for food, going on record that in ten
states of the Atlantic seaboard this is
one of the main drawbacks to oyster
planting as well as to commercial fish
ing in rivers and bays. The next ses-
sion of the body will be held in Allan
tic City.
At meeting of the Toms River
Yacht Club, on Friday evening last, a
committee was appointed to circulate
petition for the redredging Of the river
channel, which was dredged eight
years ago. There has been $4,000 ap-
propriated by congress to keep this
channel open, 81, 900 yearly in the last
eight years, so the Yacht Club under
stands. 1t is this fund that the gov
eminent will be asked to spend, or
whatever part of it is needed, to make
the channel six feet deep its entire
length again.
Agents of the lighthouse service have
gone to Barnegat to note the inroads
being made by the ocean on the bulk
heads around the lighthouse, part of
which have been washed away within
the last few days. AS result of their
visit workmen are repairing the bulk
head.
| The homecoming celebration ard
welcome to soldiers and sailors of Ocean
county will take place at Toms River
on Tuesday, August 26. This was de-
cided by the committee appointed by
the Board of Freeholders to arrange
the celebration) at their meeting on
Tuesday. 1t was also voted that per
manent memorial, with the names oil
every man Tor woman) in the service,
should be erected ON the lawn in front
of the court house, the form preferred By
the committee being an entrance gate
or archway in front of the main en-

Road in Pines to Be Improved
1t is probable that the Browns Mills

NOdQ III lHSo " DC 1nlRt OFCQ
1t is probable that the Browns Mills
to Lakehurst road, which has been in
bad repair for long time, will be re-
built by funds furnished by the state
highway commission. The distance is
about five miles.
Last week a delegation from Penn
berton township, including Prosecutor
Kelsey, township counsel, appeared be-
fore the highway commission, at the
invitation of Commissioner George E.
Blakeslee, and made an appeal to have
the road rebuilt. 1t was built origin
ally by the township.
The highway commission was at first
in doubt if it could appropriate the
funds this summer, as there was only
$12, 900 available as the fiscal year ends
July 1st, and $25, 900 was necessary for
the work. Commissioner Blakeslee
then announced that Hudson county
would loan the amount out of its funds
in order to have the improvement this
summer. After some discussion it
was decided to appropriate the entire
| $2s, 900 now and to take the amount
out of Burlington county's apportion-
ment for 1920.
The plan is to have Burlington
county agree to take the highway over
as a county road, and for this purpose
a committee OF the freeholders as well
as the representatives of the township
committee have been asked to attend
the next meeting of the State highway
commission, which will be held in
Trenton, June Goth.
The procedure necessary is for the
freeholders to declare that they will
take over the thoroughfare as county
road. Then the highway commission
will appropriate the money under the
State aid. 1t is intended to complet,
the work this summer.
