THE NEW ATLANTIC CITY
HIGH SCHOOL AND ITS
RELATION TO PLEASANTVlLLE

Under the caption, "Our School
Building Problem" the Atlantic City
Press of Monday last, in an editorial
covering the larger part of a column,
attempts to show that the smaller
municipalities of the county will de-
rive a pr~oportionate amount OF good
from the erection of the contemplated
new high school building in that city.
While agreeing in a large measure
with the logic of the Press's conten-
lions, we are at a loss to understand
just why Pl~easantyille should be
specifically signalled out as one Of
the largest be~neficiaries from this
source. Either the editor is woefully
lacking in information on the school
situation insofar as the conditions in
~Pleasantville are concerned, or else
he Is badly twisting facts. Pleasant
Vile has, and has had for a number
of years, an approved High School of
it's own, and If there are students in
the Atlantic City High School who are
residents of this city, then their
tuition must be paid by the parents
of those students directly to the At
lantic City Board of Education, and
without sanction from the local school
authorities. As a matter of fact for
the past several years P~leasantville
High has relieved the crowded condi-
IT,, 81 Tho IIioh Snhno1 nf Aflapfip
City by taking considerably more than
a hundred of these outside students
within its own High School.
Insofar as the amount of tuition
charged for these students is con
cerned, the law must surely anticipate
that a Board of Education receive a
reasonable amount for the higher edu-
cation of the children from our smaller
municipalities. If this be true, it
would certainly be reasonable to sup
pose that it was within their province
to set the tuition figure for these
pupils. Certainly, there should be a
sufficient amount included to cover the
proportionate amount of the interest
on bonds as the number of outside
pupils compares with the total num-
Der of pupils and the total amount of
the bond issue. This would, at least,
help some, and the amount would be
so small per pupil as TO be hardly
noticeable to the smaller municipality.
We agree with The Press that the
High School situation throughout the
State is a very grave proposition, but
the local situation is sufficiently seri-
o u not to warrant Pleasantville being
made a part of Atlantic City's prob
lem.

adorned with a large white cake with
seventeen pink and white candles
noting the birthday of the fair young
hostess. Bowls of pink roses and
white hyacinths added beauty to the

hard to imagine, than when the
twelve fair young "buds" were gath

faces radiating beauty all around
them.
A salad course was served, besides
sandwiches fruit, luscious homemade
candies, ice cream and cake-all car

WAR ON DOGS.

We think the little village of Hol-
comb has taken another step in The
right direction. On Thursday OF last
week. at the request of some of the
citizens of the town, a special meet
ing of the board of mayor and alder
men was called and an ordinance
was adopted prohibiting all dogs from
running at large upon the streets un-
less they be properly ruzzled at all
times. We think mis- is d wise step
in the right direction and hope that
it may prove a blessing to humanity
and to the community. We notice a
great deal in the papers Of late of
mad dogs, and of people being bitten
by them.
Other towns and communities are
taking similar steps and we think
that still other towns and communi-
ties should open, their eyes, think the
matter over and take some steps to
get rid of so many dogs. A great
majority of them are a nuisance.
Respectfully,
J. w. Hayden.
