NEWS NftTFS , antf.n Dr. Samuel F.Ware. Vho was re- • cently elected to be prerident of the - Cape May Board of Trade, I. «n - energetic citizen, who has shown his f faith in the future of the retort by int vesting quite -heavily in its real estate e and becoming actively interested in its welfare in many waya. He spent bis - earlier life here and afterward went to : Washington where he was quite euc1 cessful in Us profession and was well r known to many prominent men. Since r his retain to Cape Msy be has served J in the City Council sod was Kb presiI dent for three years. His management r | of city affairs was beneficial and busif ; ness under bia administration as presit dent of . the governing body was I despatched with great' facility. As president of tne Board of Trade he will ■ exert himself to bring Oape Msy before the public advantageously and to stimulate the interest of all classdk of citizens in . the advancement of the resort (• C «. Speaker Prince, of the House of As- , sembly, on$ of the foremost educators of New Jersey, said of our school system recently: "I am aware' that it has been the habit .of late to laud our system of public instruction as being quite flawless. That the plan of a common education for all is perfect we must admit, but there is a flaw in our system, becoming more and more appar- ' 1 t

ent in its working out. Practically e every university professor or instructor will agree with me in believing that J the main fault in our entire American J r school sytsem of today, is a noticeable l«LPk of that thorough training in es- 1 sentials which, for example, in Ger- ' ' many enables the school pupil to pass into the specialized career of his later j life fully prepared to cope with every t problem which he may meet." j « (• « The effort to re peg I the maximum • tax rate law was defeated in the House , of Assembly the other day and 'while tax spenders may regret this, tax- 1 payers should 'rejoice. The maximum rate law permits a j-ate of $1.76 per $100 (including school) for local and 1 county purposes. In addition to this comes the stale school tax, which has been for two or three years about 1 $ . 20 on the $100, which [makes a legal ■ rate permissible to -all municipalities 1 ' of $1.96 on the $100, or nearly .3 per J cent. Now the law bIbo requires that ] shall be assessed at its "true"- j value, so that the law sanctions a tax < rate of nearly 2 per cent, on the actual ' yalue of property. What reasonable , man will Bay that this is not enough? j Every taxpayer in the State should insist; upon the retention of this law.
