FORTY-FIRST GOVERNOR GOVERNOR FIELDER ASSUMES OFFICE OH TUESDAY AND WITH IT RNORMOUS RESPONSIBILITIES— IS TWENTY-FIRST DEMOCRATIC • GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY. When Governor-elect Jsmes F. Fielder ; eras inducted into office Tuesday at noon, he became the forty-Brat Governor to rule New Jersey since the adoption of the State Constitution in 1776. Between , 1738 and 1776, during which period New Jersey, as a colony, was rg*d separately from New York, it had t3 Governors. Between 1703 and 1738, with the colonies of East and West Jersey united, the Governor of this colony also ruled New York, and there were 11 of these Governors. The original colony of East Jersey had seven Governors between 1665 and 1699. and West Jersey had eight Governors, between 1681 and j 1702.

Of the 41 Governors since New Jersey became a state in 1778, 21 have been Democrats; 8 have been Republicans; 4 Whigs and 5 Federalists. The Rrsil Democratic Governor was Joseph BloomdWf, who ruled the state in 1801 and 1802. The first Republican Governor was William A. Newell, who ruled tbe state from 1857 to 1860. Governor of the 2,700,000 people In the state, Mr. Fielder has numerous Amotions. The popular idea of the duties of a Governor is that he shall enforce the laws and make political appointments, but the Governor of New * -Jersey is much more than this. His most Important duty, of course, is his share in making the laws, either signing them ; after they have been passed by the Legislature, thus making them binding, or vetoing them, if he shall disapprove them. The Governor is Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard of the State and it if he-- he gets his powers to enforce the laws. Back of the Governor is not only the military power but the machinery of the courts, including (Continued on page six) assemblyman stevens proposes new election law Assemblyman Stevens has introduced a bill providing for the codification of all the present election laws, consisting of | 140 pages of printed matter, with the i following additions and changes: Pro- ' Tides for the election of United States j senators; personal registration in mun feipalities of over 12,000 population in- j stead of 6.000 as now ; for preferential j primaries at September primaries; for, separate municipal elections; and that they shall take place third Tuesday in April; that no party designation shall j be used, at municipal elections ; allows parties to endorse any person for office without regard to their political affilia- ' tion ; makes a political party one which : polls more than five per cent, for member of assembly in the state; does away . with party conventions by parties hav- , Ing more than two and less than five ■ per cent, of the votes; that voters may participate in the primary of the party , with which they intend to affiliate at the •oming election : includes all the provis- , ton* of the present Geran and corrupt practioes acta.

- j Seated with Miss Peirce, in Proscenium le j Box No. 1, were Mrs. E. T. Stotesbury, j ^ and Miss Helen Taft, the daughter of ,j i the ex-president. r_ The exercises were opened with prayl(j i er by Bish-p Rhine lander, of the EpisI copal Church, and the graduates were le I then called to the stage in groups of |B fifty to receive their diplomas, after ' ie | which they were addressed briefly by j. | Professor Luman, the Vice-Principal of , the school. w i The Governor then introduced Mr. (t i Taft who was given an ovation as he ; ^ j arose to address the graduates. His i < n ■ address, which was too lengthy to be [ |6 i given in full in "these columns, dwelt l j at the outset on the benefit of a busi- j 0 ness training. He said that bis father j ' | took up theTstudy of shorthand "rather i late in life, but .mastered it sufficiently : ^ ; to leave many of his notes and mtnu- : 0 scripts in the corresponding style of the . ' Pitman system, nhieji an expert can lt easily read." Mr. Taft added that he | g had advised his boy. who is just now I beginning the practice of law, to sup-' _ plement his theoretical knowledge of the | law with a course at a good business school, "where, he can acquire just what ' 1 V is given in your banking and business j ' ; course and what is given in your short- j d | hand course" ;'| Children Cry ■ I FOR FLETCHER'S * C ' STjO_R I A j.

SECTIONAL INSTITUTE (Continued from first page.) ings, upon "The Teacher's Relation to the School Board" and "Dr. H. B. Mover's review of tbe "State's monograph on elementary "English, were excellent, appropria t« and much appreciated. - President L. C. Ogden's address on "The Functions of a School Board," was also ex- ; cellent and indicated clearly that. Mr. | Ogden has given much thought and at- ' tention to his duties as a member of the of education and is striving for the best conditions and results. Tbe county superintendent's paper _ upon Together" will be published in full because of the request of a number of those present, the. first instalment appearing this week and printed below : County Superintendent's Address (Published by request) This meeting is the first for Cape May and vicinity ^of our "Get Together" meetings. I do not thing it will be the last. All men and women actively en- i gaged in school work, ultimately arrive at the point of realizing that there is something wrong. I have noticed, also, that people who are not actively engaged in'the work become even more strongly convinced, and vociferously voice their convictions, that things are awry in the j public school system, many of them never taking a poment -to look into such a trivial* question before becoming vociferous. I suppose they conclude that the schools are as good a subject as the tariff to declaim about. . There is one difference, however, between denunciation of the tariff and de- .

nunciations of the schools. A man may i ride into popularity and power by ham- , 1 mcring at the tariff but he will inevit- | ably lose ground by hammering at the schools. The people do not like it. They . are suspicious of the men who do it, and ' . they intuitively challenge their mot- 1 . ives. And they are right. No man or l : woman really friendly to the schools - will launch into invective against them, ■ will condemn them or attempt to limit ' their power or their scope. If they are friendly they will examine . and investigate thoroughly and offer i j remedies ratljer than destructive critii cism. i j Tbe public schools are -very near to , the throbbing heart of our great Re- | public, and their defenders will rise in • ' their might, whenever a rash hand i» ' ' raised to strike them down or hinder i their progress. i Most of us know, in our inmost hearts, I ■ that they are very nearly right as far • ' as they go and that they are the bill- 1 : \ wark against which the foes of progress, the foes of liberty and the foes of en- j ! lightenraent have hurled and will hurl ! : themselves in vain. i This meeting of ours is a_"get togeth- , I er" meeting, not for Cape May City . 1 alone, but for all the districts whose I schools center around our High School, ; West Capo May, Cape May Point. Lower i Township and Cape May City. I have ' named this the Cape May High School I | Section and we are holding probably the j first institute in this state, which has I ' been intended to be an institute for the ! i teachers, for the boards of education and j for the people at large. This is why it . i a get together meeting. These com- 1 ' munities belong together, logically. There a time, when young people from I Cape May City and West Cape May : sought their schooling at Cold Spring, 1 ' Township. But, you have admitted that someI I thing is wrong. "What is it?" I hear you ! say. Well, I am glad you asked "that 1 question. If it had not received an ! answer, one of the chief purposes of this I meeting would have been lost. I The thing that is wrong is that the people and the boards of education and | the teachers and other school officers j j not been getting together and they j 1 ; been misunderstanding each other . and losing sympathy and at -oneness with each other as a consequence. . The demagogue has seen this, the ' avowed enemies of the public schools ; seen it, some people who are subpected of appropriations for school pur- | poses, have seen it and you and I, who should have seen it first, are the last to see it So in this meeting we unfurl the public education standard,- and we say j to ail the people of these various com- j munities: "Let us rally. Let each of I do his or her part in extending the of public education and meeting ' the various requirements of x>ur com- I | munities." j How shall we "get together?" There j many ways, but I suggest that we ' i organize, form a Home and School I j Association, or an association under any j name yon please, for this High School) and give this proposed association definite purposes to sustain it We do not want any^groueh society,' for such complaints a» there may be about the details of school management! do not belong in such an association as we have in mindJfhey a to fot'tte regta- . lar school Officers ' to ' consider. That's What^e have them for, and itWnld hot , becoming to usurp their functions. We , *eed a helpful association. ..We .peed > members who -wnt not bHnk at 'the , atrong rays of tbe sunlight of progress. B I
