manifest their interest in the Chau-
tauqua which Is to be held here all
of next week by a parade this after :
noon at o'clock in which fifty re-
presentatives from each school of the

erected and a drawing will be held
as the result of which the six lucky
children will each be given ticket
free.
One of the Chautauqua advertising

the finishing touches on the intensive
advertising campaign.
The guarantors are hard at work
disposing of the season tickets, about
700 of which must be sold in order
70 pay Perth Amboy's expenses in this
affair. There will be a meeting of
the guarantors at the Y. NJ. c. A.
tomorrow night at 8. o'clock at which

CONTINUATION SCHOOL
CLASSES WELL UNDER WAY

The continuation school classes
are now well under way after many
months of planning and few weeks
of uncertainty and hard work on
the part of the school authorities
just before the opening. At this
time everything possible has been
done to perfect the system here.
There viii probably be several
problems come up but today, after
four days of school for the boys and
two for the girls, things are running
much more smoothly than was an
ticipated. There are now $40 pupils
in the continuation school whereas
last week 1t was thought that $50
would be the largest number that
could be accommodated, and twen-
ty-five pupils are assigned to each
room where twenty were originally
intended but with satisfactory re-
suits thus far.
The boys classes are being held
in the grammar school and the girls
in the high school where the indus
trial departments are best fitted for
the work.
superintendent Shull said this
morning that the attendance thus
far has been particularly fine and
that none of the pupils have yet
been truant The factories. Mr..
Shull said, have complied with the
law in q most satisfactory manner
and the continuation classes which
require the presence of every child
between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen at a six-hour a week session.

To Add Voting Booths
Two More viii be Added in Each Polling Place in the City
County Board of Election to Hold Meeting

In order to facilitate voting at the
primaries and general election this
year there will be two additional
booths placed in each of the polling
places in this city. This will mean
that instead of four booths, as have
been used in the past, accommo-
dating 400 voters, there will be six
booths, which are expected to be
sufficient for 800 voters. Up until
this year the law called for one
booth for every 100 voters. This
year, however, $50 voters are sup
posed to be accommodated by one
booth.
AS the figures from the first reg
istration show that there will be an
average of 500 voters using each
polling place, and there are still two
more registration days, it is believed
that six booths will be sufficient.
