BOARD OF EDUCATION
ELECTION ON NEXT

The School Board election in Cliff
side Park this year seems to have ere
ated an interest heretofore unknown
in the borough. With two of the old
est members having as yet not am
nOunced their candidacy for re-elec-
ton, the voters have nominated one of
the largest fields going to the polls on
election evening in the history of the
borough. Included in the list of can
didateS are two women, Mrs. Frank
Dickerson and Mrs. DR.. White. Both
of these women have been put on the
ballot by the members of the Cliffside
Park Women's Club. Carlos Sheffield,
William Claflin and Mr.. Morgan have
been nominated by the Citizens Club,
while Valentine FRANKIE and William
Korsineck, although running by them
selves, will no doubt become one ticket
by the time the election takes place.
For q time it was thought that Mr..
Reggiori of Hudson Heights. who had
made such fine run for councilman
at the recent election, would be il can
didate, but his friends state that he
will not run, because he is going to
move out of town in the near future.

consisted of two of the fastest and
closest games ever played on the Cliff
side court. The scores were II to -,
with the Cliffside misses in the lead,
and % to 20, with the Englewood lads
in the same position. The girls game
was hummer, both teams alternat-
ing the lead until when i'm the last
quarter the Cliffside forwards made
several baskets in quick succession.
and the game ended with the Engle-
wood misses trailing by one basket.
The boys game kept the rOOters on
edge throughout. 1t was fast, clean
game. the score at the close of the
first half being 10 to 8 in favor of the
visitors. The second half was just as
fast and exciting. The lead alternat-

Cliffside was leading by five points,
but Englewood let fly with three
baskets and foul and the victory was

were arranged small bundles of straw,
tied with orange crepe paper and the

making Il striking and novel effect.
The fireplace, with its pretty fire and
the colorel footlights amid the straw,
added to the artistic effect, and the
yellow lanterns over the lights Of the
room and the piles of straw in the cor
ners for seats showed what could be
accomplished with this homely article

Squashes and candles on the mantel,
and bungalow aprons ON the members

pAL!SADE IMPR0VMT, ASSN GETS
RULING AGAINST FREE EDUCATION
OF ORPHANS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Through the direct efforts of the
Palisade Improvement Association and
John Purdon, its able secretary, de-
cision has been handed down by At
tOrney General McCran of New Jersey,
under which the School Board of the
Borough of Fort Lee may charge a
tuition fee for each of the inmates of
the Swedish Orphan Asylum who at
tends the public schools of the bor-
ough. This decision reverseS that of
the New Jersey state school authori-
ties, who had held that the inmates of
the institution must be educated at the
public schools at public expense.
The orphan asylum was removed
from Hudson county last fall and es-
tablished in the former residence of
Dr. Edwin O'Neill, commodious
building overlooking the Hudson
There are now sixty orphans there
and plans are being made for the cree
ton of new dormtory.
AS soon as the children were remov-
ed to Fort Lee the question of their at
tendance at the public schools was
taken up with the state school authori-
ties. The local board realized that it's
facilities We're about exhausted and it
also knew that the people of the bor-
ough had repeatedly refused to vote
an appropriation for muchs needed
High School building. The accommo-
dation of sixty more pupils was a
problem that was difficult to solve.
But the state school authorities,
through Commissioner Enright, ruled
that the borough must provide for the
education of these children, and there
seemed to be nothing to do but make
the best of bad situation.
Then the Palisade Improvement AS
ISOLATION took up the matter. It's mem
bers had full sympathy for the unfor-
tunates, but they held that It was un-
just to the public to permit an institu-
ton to move large number of chill
dren into the borough and saddle the
expense of their education upon. the
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1921-01-29

public without giving the public any
voice in the matter. 1t was asserted
that the number might just as. easily
have been 600 as sixty and that there
was real danger that in time the in
mates might be greatly increased from
the present number.
A resolution was adopted by the
questing Secretary Purdon to write a
protest to the Fort Lee School Board
Mr.. Purdon has the very good habit of
informing himself upon subjects han
died by him He made an examination
of the law and found that under its
terms the inmates of the asylum were
in the nonresident class. This point
was raised in the protest he sent to
the Fort Lee School Board. His letter
was at once forwarded to the state
school authorities by Clerk John c. Alb
bolt, Jr., but back came the answer
| that the borough must pay for the edu-
cation of the orphans brought into it
without its aid or consent.
The local board forwarded the cor
respondence to Attorney General Nc
Gran with request for his opinion
Mr.. Purdon supplemented this with Il
letter of his own in which he quoted
many authorities on the subject Mr.
McCran sent a letter to Mr.. Purdon
saying his view of the law was cor
rect.
The Attorney General sent a long
letter to the Fort Lee School Board
in which he stated that the inmates. of
the orphan asylum are nOn-residents
and that the board has authority to
charge tuition fees He advised that
! the board take the matter up with the
County Superintendent of Schools.
Final action has not yet been taken
! but at least the point has been settled

9th Victory for

ON last Saturday evening the local
High School journeyed to Rutherford.
where they defeated the High School
girls of that town by the close margin
of one point the game ending IA to Is.
The game seventh played by the To-
cal girls, was in doubt until the scorers
had counted their sheets several times.
This made six victories out of seven
starts for the Cliifsiders
The services of Florence Sikorsky,
captain and star forward of the team,
were sorely missed, although the for
wards, Misses Wiskidensky and Hor-
ton, played very well indeed, the for
mer making twelve out of the fourteen
points. Cecilia Mccarthy played her
usual whrlwind of game at guard,
and Helen Rubin, who played as a
substitute for Edith Patterson, GER
tainly must be complimented for her
fine work. In center the Misses Bau-
mann, Helen sikorsky and Catherine
Mccarthy played their usual fast
game.
