Pictures for Schools

State Librarian Henry E. Dun
mack has recently received an ordered
supply Of pictures and manuals
which are to be sent to some of the
public schools of the State for the
purpose of teaching picture study.
The manuals, which are to be in the
hands of the teachers, contain a list
of the subjects arranged by grades,
a short history of painting and
biographical notes of all the great
painters. The pictures are exact re-
productions made by the Brown
Robertson Company Inc, of New
York City.
This collection of pictures con-
tains all of those that are appro-
pirate for the different seasons of
the year. They show nature in her
first awakening and in her various
aspects of beauty. The labors of the
husbandman and other activities of
rural life are pictured.
1t is hoped that every school.
eventually, will be supplied with a
complete set of these pictures and
manuals so that they will come
within the reach of every child in
our public schools, for it. has long
been conceded by educators that
picture study is one of the best

STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Council 10 A. NJ, Tuesday, Sept II

to the questions relating to the law
governing the operation of jitney
busses. submitted in your letter of
recent date, and we have come to
the conclusion that:
a. There is conflict between
Chapter 254, public laws of 1917. and
Chapter 211, public laws of 1923.
80. Chapter 254, public laws of
1917. has been repealed. not express
ly but by necessary implication by
Chapter 1914; public laws of 1921, as
amended by Chapter 211, laws or
1928
SO. The Public Utilities Com
mission has authority to grant lie
cnses for the operation of jtneys
that will preclude the necessity of
procuring a license from the Sta.c
Highway Commission under Chapter
254.
1.-THE fundamental rule of con-
struction of a statute is the legisla-
tive intent, and the whole body of
previous and contemporary legisla-
ton relating to the same general
subject should be considered togeth-
err for the purpose of harmonious
construction.
"By the provisions of the act Of
1917, jurisdiction of operation of jit-
ney busses was given to the State
Highway Commission, but for some
reason the legislature in 1921 passed
an act comforting such jurisdiction
upon the Public Utilities Commission
without in terms repeating the for
mer statute. Did the legislature by
SO doing intend that two different
commissions should have jurisdic-
diction over the same subject mat
ter and that an applicant for per-
nit to operate a jitney bus should
be obliged to get a certificate from
both commissions before being al
lowed to operate? Such a construc-
ton is not reasonable. nor de we
believe the legislature so intended.
1.-The cases held that a statute is
repealed by implication when later
statute covers the whole subject
matter of the former, or when later
is inconsistent with or repugnant to
the former. and for the reason that
the legislature cannot have intend
ed co-eXistance of conflicting acts.
and later in proper expression of
legislative will.
Applying the principles to the
questions submitted. leads us to the
conclusions reached"
