 Gen. Stanley D. Embick, command
 Al groups however, pointed out that the school were in good shape, im- provements on the Millville school having been made last spring.
 The board ordered Improvements at the Futile house at its June SeS- sion. These improvements have been made and it was estimated then that some of the savings to be de- rived from the closing of the schools would help offset the expense for the improvements. Just where the department would get the money for the Futile house improvements if the schools are re-opened is not known.
 Some of the protesting persons claimed the welfare and health of the children would suffer if the schools in their sections were closed, but it is known some board members feel there would be no damage to the children's welfare if they had to attend more centralized schools.
 The board will have at least three vacancies in the teaching ranks to fill Thursday. It is, not at all inn probable that a private session will be held earlier in the week, as the board does not like to discuss merits of respective candidates for public consumption.
