SOME NEWS ; AND COMMENT' c Ralph Speace, son of Mr. and Mrs. j Frank Speace, who is a soldier in the t Corps of the army and ^ Btationed in the Philippines, has been { made a mail orderly and aupplied with j a mount with which to perform hia t duties. ft ft_ft If the Prairie had stared for Nicaragua from the Cape May Harbor instead" of Philadelphia, she would have c there, her marines landed, Preai- * dent Zelaya taken and the voyage back ^ the United States begun in less time * than it took the government to dis- J cover that the Prairie was hard and * fast aground and to substitute the ' Dixie. A blind pilot could not have 1 ashore on tbe voyage out from ' tbe Oape May harbor and tbe Prairie's ' experience will indicate to the govern- J ment that the Oape May harbor must ' be hastened to completion, and a naval ' established here. Suppose the 1 trouble was with a first class power 1 and our hope of repelling invasion or ' bombardment depended upon the hastening of war ships from Philadelphia j • the sea and all of the fleet should i go ashore on tbe way down the Delaware, what would become of our Uncle - then? «& « « Tbe filty-fifth annual meeting of tbe New Jersey State Teachers' Aaaocia- . tlon will be held at Atlantic Oity, De- f cember 28th, 29th and 90th. The ' ia strong, and teachers will ' esteem tbe volume of proceedings con- f taining such addresses as those of President Wilson, {President Aldeman, et al., well worth the fifty cents of 1 membership dues. The Association is ' worth maintaining oniits own qccount ( and every teacher eligible owes it to | herself and her profession to enroll as < a member. Notwithstanding all the 1 differences of opinion and of ideals as 1 to what tbe Association is or ought to be or do, every teaeher who knows its | history knows that in many lines it done work that justifies its existence and deserves the approval of all ' the teachers of tbe State. Its possifor good to the teachers, to tbe schools, and to the cause of education < ' are beyond computation. In fact, is j there any other factor that can do morejto vitalize the educational system of the State? Is it not through the t organic life of such a free voluntary ' Association that the individual teachers of the State can best go on ' to live tbe "larger life," realize their •'serial selves," achieve their highest ( ; destiny? ^ ! The bunting season this year has ( been very disastrous throughout tbe ' United States the number of fatal ( accidents thus far numbering 88 and many injured. The majority of these ( i accidents are caused by inexperienced 1 * • * i ' Much credit is due Commissioner o1 , ! Public Safty George H. Hughes for the i work he is doing to break up illicit j liquor selling in this city. He is con- j ' ducting an earnest crusade against ^ , these lawbreakers and if they are wise 1 in their day and generation they will j cut out their lawless work at once. — " I Bridgeton Evening News.
