ROYAL THEATRE HAS DAY
OF FEATURES ON BILL

Charming indeed, is the story of
''True Heart SUSIE" David w. Grif-
fith's new Aircraft picture which will
be shown at the Royal theatre today
only. 1t Is one of those pastoral
themes which rise to the dignity of
screen classics by reason of the art
istry of this master producer. and
which invariably hold their own
against criticism.
In this fascinating story Of a little
Hoosier girl who loves a boy with rare
devotion, the heart interest is fully
compelling. Susie May Trueheart
loves William Jenkins SO well that
when a politician fails to keep his
promise to send William to school,
she sells butter and eggs and even
her COW to raise funds for the pur-
pose. So it happens that William
goes to college. but he he is unaware
that his good angel is Susie to whom
he writes desultory letters.
So 1t happens that when he leaves
college and Is ordained a minister, he
comes to his home as pastor of the
village church. Then the tragedy of
poor Susie's life is born. William
WEEDS a Eighty beautiful girl who re-
pays his love by accepting the atten-
lions of less worthy men. But she Is
punished by fate. Susie, although she
never has forgotten that she was the
bearer Of flowers at the wedding of
the man she loved, protects the err
ing wife and 1t Is only after the lat
ter's death that William comes to a
realization of Susie's great love and
both find happiness.

STATE BOARD To
ACT ON WAGES
Have Concrete Suggestion Per-
tanning to Pay for Teachers

Bv Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Jan. 5.-The State
Board of Education will a a con-
crete suggestion to make to the in
coming Legislature to meet the situa.
ton produced by the low rates OF
compensation which have heretofore
prevailed throughout the State for
teachers. 1t has decided to hold a
special meeting mex Saturday in the
City Hall at Newark at which time the
members will discuss q bill which will
truly carry out the mandate of the
State Constitution, which says: THE
legislature shall provide for the main
tenance and support of a thorough and
efficient system of free public schools"
Speaking here before the members
of the State Board, during the dis
cussion on teachers salaries, John En-
right, assistant State Commissioner OF
Education, declared hat the Legisla-
ture, in the matter of pay, has not
been living up to the Constitutional
requirement, but has been passing
the buck" to the school district
boards of education.
The matter was brought to a head
by a motion of John P. Murray. OF
Jersey City, in~structing the boards
committee on legislation to devise a
plan by which additional money may
be raised for this school purpose and
a living, minimum wage" provided
for the teachers of the State. Follow
ing this action, Murray moved to have
the conference next Saturday at New
ark.
Last year the average annual salary
for a school teacher in New Jersey
was $646 State Commissioner Kendall
declared. This caused Melvin A. Rice.
president of the State Board to re-
mark:
You couldn't get a one-armed
painter for $646 a year"
Murray said the State needs $18,-
900. 900 to provide a minimum salary
Of 1000 a year for each of the 49,
900 teachers in New Jersey. After that
he would have each local school board
provide the additional compensation
for its respective teachers.
Mr.. Enright said hat a total of &c.
100000 could be added to the school
annually by increasing the pres
ent tax for this purpose. which is two
and three-quarters mills, to five mills.
At present the total fund for school
purposes Is SIP. 000, 900.
1t was reported that the rural
school teachers are suffering mos
from lack of proper pay and that ths
one-room schools are being closed fer
lack of teachers.

DEDICATE NEW
SYNAGOGUE HERE
Traditional Ceremony and Ban
uuet in Cortland Street

Beth Israel Congregation dedicated
its new in Cortland street
last night with traditional ceremony
and banquet followed by a reception
to those members and friends who by
their cooperative effort and aid made
possible the new edifice. During the
reception a number of impromtu ad-
dressed by the Congregational officers
gave some idea of the progressive fu-
ture proposed. Announcement was
made that the congregation had just
purchased land for a cemetery n
would go ahead Immediately with sur
veying, fencing and dedication.
The announcement of the cemetery
purchase brought forward q HOOD OF
immediate cash donations, enough to
meet the entire outlay of the ceme-
terry cost. This generous spirit was a
reflection Of kindred sentiment which
has made possible the erection OF the
new synagogue.
Both III Interior and exterior OF the
new building were decorated. the

The traditional ceremony of transfer
ing the t0ranS, or nOly parCniueHIS,

This was followed by addresses or
f~eciliation.
Exhibition folk dancing by the
| children of members was accompanied
by music furnished likewise by their
children. The program was divided
into two parts the first dedication

and reception.
At the present time the congrega-
ton mas fifty members but the pro-
portions of the building provide com
| fortably for more than twice that
number. This optimistic view toward
the future has been justified already
with the receipt of fifteen applications
for membership.
The present burst Of activity is
largely due to the building committee

it was plainly empty, but the we'll

to a run. 4,t

But the driver turned in to the Ludlum

checked the horses so sharply that they
slid, and their shoes scratched sparks rom

The driver stood up in his pulpit and
shouted at the porch.

Then he struck with his whip; the
