Teachers Unless School
Budget is Revised

SOUTH AMBOY, Jan. 25.-4l-
though the Board of Education sew
eral months ago adopted a sliding
rate Of wages to be paid teachers
in the local public schools with a
SIS annual increase to the teaching
staff the budget as offered for ap-
proval at last nights meeting as
compiled by that body for the school
year, failed to provide for the in
crease. Superintendent OF Schools
o. o. Barr, president of the school
board. Richard NJ. Mack and James
Dawson, principal Of the schools, de.
cried the action of the school body,
as practicing false economy"
Our school system here in South
Amboy, said Mr.. Barr, lis a credit to
the city. The work of our teaching
force is being pronounced through
out the state, as second to none.
Practice teachers flock to South Am
boys schools, to get an insight on
our method of teaching, and we feel
proud of the achievement in the
past five years. All this work, the
combined efforts of a satisfied teach
ing staff, was made possible by hard
n earnest work"
Continuing Mr.. Barr urged. that
the matter be reconsidered and that
the years increase to the teachers
be added to the budget.
we do not want to lose any of
our teachers, less the standard al
ready set fall" Mr.. Barr said.
The president of the school body,
Mr. Mack stated ha uantad % eya ~,
record as being "unalterably oppos-
ed to economic in the school or
in school teachers salaries" Mr..
Dawson, made a plea that the mat
ter be reconsidered.
Mr.. Rue, stated that he felt 1t was
necessary in the face of the out
rageous high tax rate of the city,
to begin economizing. He added he
believed that a maximum salary
should be stipulated, but felt that
the deviation from the ruling would
only be felt this year.
Both Mr.. Barr and MI. Dawson
preached the legality question of the
matter. 1t was their opinion that
the ruling of the board was likened
to a contract with the teachers, and
could not be very easily broken.
Both the schoolmasters were of the
opinion that the school would suffer
by forcing the teachers to leave Il
the policy was put into effect.
The local school tax rate last year
was 1928, among the lowest in the
county. New Brunswick rate being
1888; Highland Park. 2.40; James
burg, 2.33; South River, ISL. 1t is
estimated that the increase would
only be a matter of two cents per
hundred dollars making the total cor
this year, 1.25.
The Board of Education also fail
ed to provide the regular 5000 paid
annually to the attendance officer,
although it is understood that az
cording to the law, this officer can
not be removed unless certain out
lined charges are preferred and &C.
ton taken.
The total amount of the school
budget is $75,305. an advance of 800
over that of last year. The returns
estimated from state appropriations
tuition fees and rentals is estimated
as $24,150, making the amount to be
appropriated by the city $52,S05.
The budget is as follows:

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, June 10
Shifting from the states to the fed

sponsibility of law enforcement was
deplored by John w. II. Grim, as
sistant United States attorney gen.
era1 in an address here before
the William and Mary College
Alumni Associa tion. Crime and Grim
inals and loopholes in the criminal
law also were discussed by Mr.. Grim
who has charge of criminal law en-
forccment for the government.

DeyitaIizing Local Government.
For many years there has been a
powerful current of political opinion
flowing through our society devital-
izing local government under author
ity of the state and saddling police
responsibility on the federal govern
ment that is essentially the function
of local government. illogical and IN
consistent with our customs, our ira
oitions and our form of government.
this Glamour for Congress to invade
state sovereignty is lmpalring the
fundamentals on which the American
civilization rests
"The Department of Justice is stag
gering under the load imposed by
such police laws. The federal courts
are so congested with litigation of
this character that years Will be re-
quired to clear their dockets.'
Discussing the need of amending
criminal law procedure, Mr.. Grim
showed how criminals might abuse
the writ of habeas corpus, in the alb
sence of laws by Congress by taking
numerous appeals from different ju-
risdictions.
Relating to Convicted Fugitfves.
I'VE have absolutely no procedure
with respect to removal of a con-
victed fugitive for sentence or i'm
prisonment," he stated. We are
limping along in this regard on the
dangerous and anomalous conduct of
official kidnapping"
Deploring political influences in
federal justice work, Mr.. Grim said it
was impossible for any Attorney Cen
eral in his four years term, to Sys-
tematize and reorganize the Depart
ment of Justice, which, he said, should
be made great law office" and
not be disrupted every four years
by the whirligig of politics.

"The men of Brazil are more ar
dent feminists than the women
according to Mrs. Lamar Ruther-
ford Lipscomb of Atlanta. Ga, who
stopped over in Washington this
week on her way south from New
York, where she just returned
from Rio de Janeiro. Mrs. Lips
comb, who has just been appoint
ed Georgia state chairman of the
Womans National Party. has done
much for the women and girls in
the mountain region of northeast
ern Georgia and one reason for
her visit in South America was to
study conditions among the women
there.
'Tt really surprised me immense
ly." continued Mrs. LipScomb, TO
find the men SO interested in aid
ing the women to secure the vote
and encouraging their taking an
active part in the political life of
Brazil. In most countries, the men
have been exceedingly hostile in
attitude toward such steps. The
women of Brazil are openly credit
ed with having great influence
over their husbands and many of
Janeiro consult their wives in re-
gard to business. One woman, wife
of a man in high position. was
pointed out to me as the woman
who indorSed the filling of many
high positions. She was charm
ing woman of brilliant personal
ity.
Property Equally Divided.
"Everything in the way of prop
erty is. equally divided between
husband and wife as soon as they
are married and this is true also
of everything either acquires
later"
Another striking thing | noticed
about the women of the highest
social circles of Rio de Janeiro,"
said Mrs. Lipscomb, was the fact
that they neither smoke nor
do they drink.
1T is because so many of the
prominent women have much in
1uence through their husbands
that they are not overanxious to
get the vote, but there are half
million husbands in Rio de
Janeiro and they are not all men
who consider their wives opinions
as those in the more prominent
circles do. Above all. the men of
Brazil are against their wives
going out of the home into pro-
fessional life. They feel a pride
in supporting their wives and feel
realizing that the upkeep of the
