The pupils have grasped the idea of the purpose of these drills and have preserved good order ' in passing out of the building and in returning. The time , required to empty the building after the first r signal has been from forty to sixty " seconds. The danger in school build- - ings is frqm the results of panic rather ' than from' the fire itself. If all schools have frequent drills in responding to f a fire alarm there will be formed a - habit of acting coolly in the presence of danger in public buildings, that may e gradually eliminate such horrors as the . Boyertown calamity. The school board and faculty have - been tryiog to improve the attendance and work of the schools. A resolution has been passed by the board that-in final examinations at least 50 per cent. must be obtained. The credits of it pupils will be based on attendance as Is well ras on term and examination d marks. In determining final general ■B averages for the year the number of recitations in each branch will be conj sidered and each subject will be given . a weight corresponding to the number <}f recitations per week. e The boys of the High School are do- * ing good work practising for the mfnstrel show to be given March 13th and * 14 in the Anditorium. The songs are l" all good and the jokes are a fresh crop. There are to be six end men instead of )f the customary two, and the arrangeil ment of the circle, thirty boys, is an 1- entirely new one.

AMONG TIE LAW MAKERS ■ SOME IMPORTANT MEASURES ' — — ; - r Civil Service Bill Passes Seaate ail Sevml Mates Debated A spirited di.ru, -ion followad iu tie _ Senate Wednesday morning when Senator Ackerman's civil service bill came t for third reading. Senator Acker- ( recited the history of civil service several states and pointed put the j that would accrue to New Jer- , under this proposed law. ~ Senator Hinchcliffe, of Passaiq, op- | posed the measure on the ground that , it provided for, an expenditure by the , state of $3^,006, . which he considered unnecessary. He declared that Sena: . Leavitt's bill. No. 87, would accomplish the same object without any Senator Frelinghuysen contended that {30,000 represented very little expense when it was considered that there are men in the State's emplo; . x Senator Leavitt, after declaring that waa unable to get his bill out o'f committee, reiterated Mr. Hinchcliffe'* argument that No. 87 would do exactly what the Ackerman measure was designed to do, and without expense. Senator Golby expressed the opinipr that the Leavitt bill would pot tou^h of the evils which civil service was intended to correct. Senator Bradley asserted that the expenditure of $30,000 represent! d an outlay of only $20 for every state employe, which he considered a- very small proportion of expense. | The bill was passed by a vote of li to - 3, Senators Leavitt, Hinchcliffe anO [ Harrison voting against it. PROVISIONS OF THE BILL. ! The bill provides that three commis- ; sioners . shall be appointed, one tp serve for two. another for four and a third f"T six years.

Appointment to office in State and municipal gift shall be from "the approved list as certified by the commissioners pfter examination. The | Governor is given the power to remove | the commissioners for cause, and a I person once appointed to office from j the approved lAt cannot be put out of office except for cause after trial. The bill includes all employes of the State who must undergo an examhia- • tion It also applies to all employes of such municipalities as accept the provisions of the bill. The salary of the secretary is $2000, and of the chief examiner $3000. The commission is given i authority to summon witnesses, to compel their cttendance and also to examine any books or papers neces ary 1 to their business. Examination shal1 be i open only to residents of the State of New'Jersey.
