JITNEY REGULATION
 TO BE FELT IN N. B.
P. U. Commission May Rule Against Traffic on Trolley Streets

Tho action of tho legislature in placing the Jitneys under control of the public utilities commission has n far-rcaching effect in this city. The Jitncy lines on West Main and Arch streets will be hit directly. 1t was heard about tho lobby today that tho public utilities commission might bar Jitncys from streets on which trolleys run. and if such he the case. parallel streets for theso two lines will be hard to find. Another point heard was that jitneys would be allowed on trolley streets if part Of the paving expense was assumed by the com pany which ran tho jitney on that particular line.
 Whether the West Main and Arch street Jitney problem is important enough to be considered first by tho commission is problomatical. but 1t is sure that the test case here In New Britain will be centered on these two lines. A direct ruling for these two lines is being watched by trollcymen. jitncymcn and patrons of both. and it is expected that the problem will reach official action before spring.

Laura Beard, Miss Mary Stokes, Miss
Tiie Webb, Miss Beulah Smith and
Miss Bessie Weaver. If Mr. Meadows
were prejudiced against the home
teachers, this action in recommending
six Of them for superior classification
does not indicate it. 1t would seem
that if he had such a marked pre-
ference for. and such a decided lean
ing toward. the out-of-tOwn teachers,
he might have found a way Of at least
recommending one of their number
for class A.
The Records further reveal the fol
lowing recommendation of Superin-
tendent Meadows to the Board Of Ed
ucation: Selection of teachers TO fill
vacancies should be made on The basis
of qualifications Of the applicants ir-
respective of their address" This re-
commentator, we submit, does not
smack Of discrimination against any
person for geographical reasons, but
makes merit alone the criterion of Sc
lection. This is as it should be in all
we'll regulated systems. Preference
should not be given home teachers
simply because they are home teacn-
ers, but only because they possess
superior qualifications to all other ap-
phcants. There are some educators,
indeed, who insist that even though
the home teacher possesses equal
qualifications with the ut-of-town
teacher, the latter is the more desira-
/ bic. The city Of Clarksdale employs
only one home teacher, and its system
is rated among the very best in the
state. The city of Columbus employs
az home teachers out of total of g.
and vet the honorable directors charge
the Superintendent with deliberate
discrimination against home teachers
The schools exist for the children, and
the patrons and taxpayers of the
school district want the best service
obtainable for the money expended
II home teachers can give that super
i0r service, they should he employed;
if they cannot, others should be chos-
en-, and always, as Superintendent
Meadows recommended, the basis OF
selection should be the qualifications
of the applicant without regard to
geographical considerations. In nc
event should the schools be regarded
as a home penSoning system, or as a
means of settling political scores and
paying political obligations. Certain
ly, the honorable directors would not
wish to debase our splendid school
system to mere agency for reward
ing the politically meriotoriuos, or Of
giving positions altogether to local
teachers without regard to thei

Superintendent Meadow. The whole
school system viii be wrecked if this
action is not repndiated, the school
children themselves demoralized, and
the efficiency Of W. schools irrepara-
bly, impaired.
In view Of the foregoing facts and
conditions, we therefore feel that we
are justified in seeking redress for
this injury to the schools of our city,
by again demanding the resignation
of the dissenting directors, with the,I
possible exception Of the County Sup
erintendent Of Education. We feel
that said directors have indicated
gross ignorance of the functions of
their office, and have acted in a man.
ner to warrant this unusual request.
We feel, further, that they have
shown a great "lack of sound business
acumen" in the performance of their
duties, and a total disregard for the
best interests of the schools. We re-
spectfully, though insistently, urge,
therefore, that the said directors re-
tire, and make place for others who
will be more capable Of exercising the
duties of their office, more amenable
to public appeal, and more intent upon
maintaining the standard and effici-
ency of the schools.
After the adoption of the report,
Gen. f. T. Sykes asked the privilege
of the floor, and gave light on certain
legal phases Of the question invt'ved.
Mrs. Pratt then asked for perman-
ent committee to handle further de-
velopments in the matter, ana on mo-
ton of Mr.. Burgin, the chair was en-
