^ Watered at the Foot Office, Sea Isle City, N. J, as second-class matter. FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1915. THE SEWER JOKER. Fifteen years ago the City of Sea Isle City granted a franchise 0 a company for the now existing sewerage system. The sewer s built, but the contractors were not paid ; and rather than pay 1 the Sewer “ Company ” disclaimed ownership. No taxes e ever paid the City, and the sewer was naturally confiscated and

3 by tire City.

Now the sewerage disposal plant is completed, and the City is t ready to connect the old sewer with the new, and here is where the joker comes in. ** The sewer “ company ” demands from the City $6,coo iu.jfeyt for the old sewer, through the City Solicitor ; in other words f demand payment lor a franchise and sewer proper!v/f{?r which r never paid, and for which they disclaimed oMtiership on ms of occasions. The franchise cost the “ comnpny ” nothing ; r construction cost the “ company " notly/g—yet they de3 that the City pay them $6,000 for something it granted them r nothing fifteen years ago. Director of Finance Fowkes rightly r asked the Solicitor who e Sewer “ Company ” is, and who wffcld get the $6,000, and what

and colleges ? Certainly the records of work arc being awarded give a little less space every yi jects. Latin still has a large place, but Greek has

out of sight.

As a practical business proposition it does not for the ordinary boy to study Greek tonlay. Fi help him to keep closer in touch with the c business man finds no Grei k in his newspaper, on to write a letter in either that language or Latii At the same time, when a student drops the certain losses that are not, made good. II be studies the oid languages, particularly /Greek, he follows the thought of cerUin great philosophers wjtich must enlarge his conception of life. The classic world einnbtsired ideas that are badly needed to-day. The old philosoph^r/dwelt upon the obligation of the arisen to the State, obedience to the law, the necessity of a temperate, wellrounded balance of all elemenU necessary to successful life. It was thy-minded philosophy. The student’s thought is filled with ,1c images of heroism, selfiaacrifict and civic spirit The student of the m dern languages spends his time very largely on trivial plays, novels and conversation exercists, whose philosoph v is not elevating or ennobling. He is closer to tbc current of daily life, but has received no inspiration of spirit It is of course useless to turn back the educational tide. The business man most study Ibe aspects of life that bring him the nearest to the modern world. But American life needs men of thought as well as men of action. Those who aspire to be writers, preachers, teachers, can not afford to neglect the noble ideals of the wonderful old classics.

THE CO UNTV AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL. The County Board of Freeholders deserve special commendatiou lor their wise and far-sighted policy in establishing the K‘Cape May County Agricultural School, which opens August first. For years the need of systematic and scientific farm training l under capable instructors has been felt, and the County can well be i- lfc-oud of the fact that it is the only one iu the Sutr except its nearest neighbor Atlantic to recognire this need and take step* to

KOlit

The Agricultural School will be under the direction of a hoard I appointed for that purpose, and will receive an annual ap j propriatiou of $2,000 from the Freeholders and a like amount from pr the State. County residents over fourteen years of age with a fifth grade education may be admitted. This is au age of efficiency, and it is the trained worker, be he ; doctor or fanner, that wins out. And in the case of a County ■ 1 such as Cape May, rich iu agricultural possibilities few of which * have been properly developed, there is need of trained, skilful, modem workers to realize the full beuefit of the County’s
