*00 NTT SUPERINTENDENT A W. HANDS ADDRESS AT SECTION- J* AL INSTITUTE. (Continued from Issue of January 24.) I' 11i» advantages and blessing* of Cape May County are such, that when they are extensively known, we will have thousands or tens of thousands here, where'we have hundreds now. Once advertised, a* California is advertised, our Cape May will become the Los Angeles •f the East. It behooves us to be up and doing for even now the bow in the sky grows larger day by day. Cape May ha. been a pioneer in ed- j ■cAional progress. Our high school was | ene of the firet to be placed on the approved list when the system of ap- ! proval . was first inaugurated by the ' Ktate Board. Manual Training and Kindergarten de- 1 pertinents were introduced in our schools twenty years ago. Our high school system has been expanded in the effort to meet the needs of the various communities depending upon it and it now embraces six courses, including an effective Commercial Course und a Manual Training Course, also comprehensive. This Is in response to the modern idea 1 which hat come, with our growing civilisation, that the schools should afford neans for the training of all the chil--Iren in the direction which will suit their individualities best. There is nothing faddish about it at all. It is simply a common-sense method of solution of the great problem which confronts all civilised nations. We cannot afford to have our people wasted. We cannot afford as a nation to launch into an aimless lile^our young nen and women. We must aid them to find the thing for which they are best fitted, in order that they may become tseful instead of useless citizens. West Cape May has always been widely known as progressive and liberal in its school policy and Cape May Point -end Lower Township are preparing to tauter upon a new era of attention and progress in school development. There must be greater expansion in the scope of1 the schools, snd the state has. provided for it, by making pronsion for State-aided Vocation Schools, ' and we need to look into this matter right here at Cape May. I believe we , can get great good for our several com- , munition out of it. We have reached a point, also, when we must have additional facilities in i this city and I believe the time has j come when it should take the form of ' i high school budding and a high school . equipment of the most comprehensive character. The" questions of cost confronts us, of course, but the cost of proper school equipment is an investment and at yields large returns. In former times, the well-to-do of the community, those who could afford the cost of sending their boys and girls to preparatory schools, did so. Thousands upon thousands of dollars in the aggregate have been spent by bur citizens for ■ the purpose of obtaining advanced training for their childdren and I question whether there are any communities in the state in which larger percentages of the young people have secured professional training, than in this Cape May , High School 'Section. But what of the young people unable 1 to meet the coats of schooling away ] from home? No matter what thelii ambitions : no matter what their talents; { no matter what their fitness, they were simply unable to obtain the training they desired and needed, and perhaps i suffer a life-long disappointment, to | say nothing of diminished usefulness to the community. With our high school, we have a preparatory school training at home, without additional cost to students. With ! our cdpimercial course, we have the bus- | iness qplleee training, only better and more comprehensive, without additional , cost to Students, and with our manual I training courses we are Inviting our pupils to discover whether their tastes and talents He In mechanical directions or not. and thus giving them an opportunity without wasting time to find the particular line of endeavor for which I they are suited. From year to year we must strength- -! en these courses; we must apply all the wisdom of which we are possessed to I make our schools more and more use- j ful to the people snd to supply better ' and better training to all of the children . of ill the people. Those who are most Interested should be most active in assisting all plans fur school Improvement, and -who Is most J Interested unless It be the parents of the children who are making use of the It may be possible to find men or women who have no children In the schools who will oppose school betterments for the purpose of preventing public expenditure, although I cannot believe if.' but surely no parents, with children In school, can be found, who will not aid In providing the lBcilltles and accommodations demanded by an enlightened civilisation There has been and there la now. a great deal of talk of alleged fads being Introdaced Into the public school system The Century Dictionary defines *fad" as "a trivial fancy adopted and pursued for a time with Irrational seal; a matter of no Importance, or an Important matter. Imperfectly understood, taken up. and urged with more seal than sense: a whim; a crochet; a temporary hobby ." George IBot. In "Middemarch," makes one of her characters' ask of an architect: "I# ft year, favorite lad to draw elans r And the reply la. -Fad to draw olans! Do you think I only earn about I

. my fellow creatures' houses in that ■ childish way?" Those upon whose shoulders rest the grave responsibility of providing for , | the proper training of the children of I our state are not approaching their problem nor attempting to solve it In l any guch childish way as the fad accu- ( ■ satlon would imply, and It may be said . w.. . profound conviction and assurance. that whether or not there be fads In the 1 school systems -of New York. Phlladel- , ' phla or Boston or elsewhere In these . United States, there are. none In our Cape May CountySctuols. We have not r i arrived at that slagC Our struggle Is. 1 and has been, solely, to secure the or- , 1 d 1 nary necessities, the ordinary decen- j , ties, the ordinary comforts which the | most critical of. critics will admit, with- ( out argument, should be found In every ■ public school. , ! I can say with absolute knowledge of _ I the subject, that we have been strug- | gling for over seventeen years In this ( " county to secure proper outhouses, i cleanliness In school rooms, ventlla- j Itlon. proper heat, proper light, the most necessary supplies, such as dictionaries, , maps, charts, globes, aids for number l work, sufficient text books, common pa- ( per for every -day work, and so on. Is there anybody here who will say , ■ that a grade school room Is complete i without a set of maps? Is there any- . . body ready to assert that an unabridged dictionary Is not necessary In any school ( ' room? Is there anybody willing to sup ! 1 port the theory that a grade teacher ■ can do proper work without a clobe. without blackboards, or In primary grades, without charts and numeral 1 frames, or other devices to assist num- • ■ ber work? Yet there has been more | than one struggle to obtain these things. ' There has been more than one conflict to secure cleanliness. A suggestion. 1 ' last year, that each of the school bulldl lngs of the townships should be scrub- 1 i bed out and the windows thoroughly cleaned once a month, was regarded as ! a faddish sort of proposal, by more 1 ' than one member of school boards. Is there any housekeeper here who will , give thirty or forty children the use of any room In her house for a month, ' and fall to have that room scrubbed out t at the end of that Ume, If she expects 1 i to use It again? ; I have been referring chiefly to small • ' school buildin' s such as prevail In the usual school districts. Now let me re- • fer briefly to some of the defects to ' ■ be found In larger ones; , Picture to yourself a large school building of two or three or four stones J ' Is it faddish to ask that easily accessl- ' ble fire escapes or properly' constructed 1 stairways be provided? Is it reasonable or safe to require that children or adulta who desire to escape cremation ' In case of fire shall climb out of a wln- ! dow four feet above the floor In order ■ to reach a fire escape. In time of fire? Where is the man or the woman who Is \ wise enough to predict Just when a fire will occur or what will be the result of i 1 such a fire? Or where Is the man or the, 4 - .woman who dares risk the lives of one 1 hundred or five hundred children be- I cause of his or her assumption that ' : there will never be a fire? Why not proi vide for emergencies while there is yet l ' time, before a cataslrope which may oc- > ! cur. and which, if we are In any way . | responsible for It. may darken all the 1 i rest of our lives by its horrors? t ' I From the recital Just given, you may be Inclined to'lnfer that Cape May Counr ty is unusually backward In school mat- ' ters. Not a bit of It. It /is in better ] shape, if anything.' than mbst counties. ' but It has had Its struggles In the dlI rections Indicated Just as probably ev- . ery county In the country has had slm- , liar struggles. | We are winning. We are well out of ' ' the woods now. but we want our peo- I i pie to Join together In the different high 1 ' school sections and determine that our ■ children shall have whatever Is required | to give them the best possible oppor- ' j tunities for adequate and efficient prep- ' 1 aration for active, useful and happy I adult life , [ I The proposed organization of a Home and School Association would certainly . Sid In this direction and In order that . 'J'lts feasibility may be thoroughly ex- . j am'.ned Into and discussed. I have re- ) | quested the following representatles of • | our four districts to act as a commlt- ; I Committee — Mrs. V. M. D. Marc'y, I I Cape May: Mr. T. W. Reeves. West ; I Cape May: Dr. Hoff. Cape May Point: 1 i I and Mrs. R. E. Hand. Lower Township. I i In conclusion. I desire to express the' • hope that this "get together" process ( may not end with this meeting. Let us 1 get together whenever possible, when- I • | ever there Is any good Idea to offer for i | school Improvement, whenever the ln- • I tehests of the children demand It. ReI i member that the schools exist for the I children. I I Let us determine sincerely and earnestly. today, to become active not pes- ' slve friends and champions of America's 1 1 greatest and most important public In- 1 ' siltulion. the public schools. 0 XECSAT1 PHARMACY EOCCESSI'UX ^ Induced Dr. Howard Co. to Make Special ' ' j Prices 1 1 !

DEXOCEAYIC SPLIT 0010*0 It Is well known that Mr. Wiipenn ' will be a candidate for Governor ;4o ' succeed Governor Fielder. It nwY 001 be so well known, but it la so neverthethat the antt-Wlltpenn Democrats in Hudson, who are pleased to call themselves the Bgan-Kielder Democrats, are or lcaa actively hostile to Mr. Wlttpenn's political aspirations; not that they" are quite' ready to oppose him the Governorship, perhaps, to make It plain., rather, that they will do If Wittpenn persists In pressing his claim to county leadership. Behind this situation Is another facwhose ramifications extend to Trenand Washington. Mr. Wittpenn. It emphasized. Is doling out Federal patronage In New Jersey. In addition to dictating legislative appointments at Trenton. All this patronage, naturally, goes to Wittpenn Democrats. Governor fielder, on the other hand, that while he la Governor. New Jersey shall be run from Trenton, not from Washington: In other words, that the Fielder appointments shall not be foreordained, and the Fielder patronage shall not be apportioned, by Secretary Thus far there has been no open rupture between the powers that be at and the powers that be at Washbut the situation Is growing critical. If the Democratic factions In Hudson continue their squabbling for supremacy it won't be long before the Fielder administration and the Wilson administration arc face to face with a "show-down" In regard to New Jersey politics. So that the divided Democracy at the Inauguration has a significance more than local, more even than Statewide: it portends a revolt against Fed- ' I eral domination In New Jersey affairs. | —Jersey City Journal. „ AS IT IS TODAY I Do you know the Youth's Companion as It is today— enlarged. improved, broadened In its reach of human Inter- 1 cats?

Not a single passenger out at 111,000,000 carried by the Pennsylv^ila Railroad Company In 1913 was kRled In a train accident. \ Reports for the past six yej^s show that almost 600,00u,000 passengers — a number equal to more than one-fclrd of the whole world's population — have carried by the Pennsylvanl Railroad, and but sixteen of them loi their lives In accidents to trains; nlnl were killed In one accident. In six yeaa, out of approximately 5.000.000 tralnsjoperated — about 2.280 a day — only flvi have nuff ered wrecks which caused theflealh of any of the passengers carrid on them.
