CHILDREN WORK TOO HARD Dr. Alexandar Marcy Declares Curriculum Too Much for Strength. Present methods of Instruction ir. lb« public schools were severely criti clsed and condemned recently at the closing sessions of the Medical Society of New Jersey, In the Hotel Capa May. Assertions were made that the entire public school curriculum Is faulty, children being sent lo school at ton early an age and given unnecessary mental training that crowds out all physical training. Bo strong was the sentiment against the present school courses that, following a plea made by Dr Alexander Marey. Jr., of Rlverton,so. of the late Dr. V. Id. D. Marcy, o Cape May, resolutions were adopte i by the Society appointing a comm! tee of physicians to Inquire into tb advisability of radically changing th course* in the near future. This committee . which la to met - monthly, will carry on Its InveaUgctiona during the year, and at the net. meeting of the society will present ; report, with some tangible plans c

revision.

in advocating the passage of this resolution which was brought ou. through discussion ot a paper by D: Joseph Funks, Of Kiirabeth. on "A. what age shonld a child be admitteto our public schools?" Dr. Marty declared that, according to the preent methods of education, childre are kept in achool entirely too long. While the superintendents of tL schools realize their courses are U full, .the doctor said, they cann>change them yeiaKg public opinion • aroused. He proposes to have the dt tor* In aJJ stales t»k« up this mov meat, in which the New Jersey t ciety Is the pioneer. Dr. Funk laid particular emphas on the point that the school year 1 too long for. the children; that the are admitted at too early an age.ai. ^ that too much study retards th child's physical development. Uis suggestions Included the ado. tion of Thomas Martlpdale'o "walk theory by the older children, uiuh i ho guidance of their teacher*; th introduction of regulated outdo-, gamesand the of admittance i the schools of children under 7 yea.

State Census of 1M6. the “Ctty

C^e May,

requested to state In wrltln!: . ons for favoring the proposed judicial a mend menu to the constUu

Don.

I might well answer by saying that those reasons are accurately and con cisely stated by Governor Fort and Judges Van Syckel. Swayte ami Black In their several monographs on that topic. Nevertheless -I will ven e to spend a few words on the man it defecU In our present system as shown by 1U application to the present population and business developments of the stele. of last resort U manlfesi ly and unnecessarily too large. Thu maintenance of sixteen men, of whom nine arc necessary to constitute a court and of whom usually twelve or foot actually alt in each case, tavotvei an expense entirely unwarranted ami does nof always produce the best re

suite.

Of course each judge of a court of Anal appeal should be possessed of n plentiful brain power, of full learn tng. of much! exjierience and a we! balanced mind. And each of thes. judges ought to give his Indlvldua study and consideration to each case. 1 spy “of course” because I conceive that the proposition just advanced tb the proper qualifications of judges Is not open to serious dispute. Waste of Material. Now, the use- of so much valuable and costly material In that court to me to be k sheer waste. No otbei English 8]>eakinp nation or state dulges in It. The United States preme court consists of nine Judges The great steles of New York. Mas ; saebnaetts and Pennsylvania consh of seven each- Of these a majority I Of course a well constituted court o last resort should comprise a prope and safe variety of judicial mlndDlfferent minds may and do take dlf ferent views of the same sets of cl: cumshuices. and out of the compari son of these varying views are wrough the safest judgments. But experienci has shown that from five to seven flit ferent minds are quite sufficient -f<* that pun>o«e. Any larger numbe tends tb produce too great a dlvislm of personal responsibility . for eacl Judgment and a consequent weakenin of that feqfjftg of personal reaponslbi: Ity which each judge ought to feet 1 every Judgment pronounced. Not on!' is that so, but a numerous court tend > promote a disposition and (endear > follow n leader: Moreover, 1 am fissured by judge that have sat for years In that com and am quite ready to believe tha the practical working of so large • court ®pt only does not/promote am accelerate the <11 sum oh/ of Uuslhexbut on the contraryr tends .to oi i met and retard IL Now. these Judges are In fact am of necessity Ought to be’high pric« men.

Tbls being so. wha excuse can there be for employing w many to do the work which can b done better by least Would any farm boss mechanic, contractor .-or bust a man of any kind Indulge In the expense at keeping'in tta employ and pay fifteen high priced men to do the work which could be dobs as well better by aevent ^ Hew ft Happened.

court of last resort of tha state of New York, which consisted of tb* chancellor. tb* Judges of the supreme court and a senator from each comity. This court was swept sway In 184B. It Is well known that for many year* aqd for some time pfter the under signed was licensed our court of last resort was able to bear at each term end determine all the cane* brought before It within the two week* eet apart for each term. The practice waa for the printed book containing all the written pleadings and evidence to be read aloud In open court and fully iirrrued—elx hours on a «Y<le being alh ived-for that purpose faring which all the authoritlea were brought Into court nud redd (precisely as they do now In England). Then tbe court went Into Immediate conference ou each case and disposed of It at once. This left time to the Judge* of the supreme court to give their attention to the business of that court and also to the business of each comity. *<■ that the people had the benefit of n county court, composed of a Judge p( tbe supreme court, to Mt—as they acte' ally did—In all causes, criminal and civil as well as those of the orphans' Cjnmlug down to the iireeeut time, the population of tbe state In 1005 wn< 2.144.000. nnd the number of causes brought before the present court of last resort l« nearly 230 In twelve months, of which the court ha* been able to dispose of over 200 In each

calendar year.

Judges Overworked. Nowadays Hie court' fa* nimble the wall! of41 me to have the pleading* eior mid the authorities read In oi>oo 7-e-.il. They are obliged Umlt Tumiwi in, lime, and they quire printed arguments, and upon these mater! is tbe study of cases fa done In their libraries. Between th< Immense work involved In . this duty and the time'requited fj>t conducting the business of the stipretne court the time of the Judges oh, the supreme court Is so thoroughly occupied that they are unable to pay any. or. If any. the very slightest, attention to thc clrcult court business; hence the- ncces slty of learned county Judges and learned circuit Judges. Moreover, the business of tbe court of chancery has so Increased that seven vice chancellors, besides th* chancellor, are constantly occupied with the business of that court • icommenced tbe study of law ovc sixty years ago. 1 practiced ll ludntriously for thirty-eight years mid bet office as Judge of I he court of clmt eery for eighteen years.
