Pupils attending ' ^ the public schools arc guaranteed "suit- I able school, facilities and accommodirtions" including "proper school build- ' lags, together with furniture and ( equipment and convenience of access , : thereto." The law also provides that the Commissioner of Education "shall have supervision of all the schools of the State receiving any part of the i State appropriation, and shall instruct County and CSty Superintendents as to the best method of constructing school houses and furnishing the same." To protect fully the health, sight and safety of each pupil the law gives the. Commissioner of Education the power to "direct the entire or partial abandonment of any building used for school purposes and he may direct the making of such changes therein as to him may seem proper." The legislature ha^ empowered County Superintendents "to note the conditions of the school houses, sites, buildings and appurtenances," and "to advise with aud counsel Boards of Education in relation to their duties, particularly in respect to the construction, heating, ventilating, and lighting of school houses." Tt has also provided a building inspector who "shall devote his time during the entire twelve months of the year to visiting the schools of the State and to making a thorough report with regard to each." The laws present one thought—' The protection of the 5162-56 pupils attending our public schools, with a total actual attendance during the school year of 1912-1013 of 09,058,114 days, in sanitary buildings, safe from fire hazards and comfortable of occupancy. In the buildings lacking in efficiency the policy has been to recommend to Boards of Education : 1. Proper light 2. Adequate ventilation 8. Fire proof stairways or fire es- ' •apes 4. Single desks — one-third adjustable j 6. Decent outhouses or watcrcloset*. our best wishes We wish our friends and patrons a boppy and prosperous New Year. 1014 1 has made its exit. It has been an event- ; till J ear, and its advent will be record- | ■ •d on the pages of the world's history, j ' to be read by future generations. Weii welcome the New Year — 1015. May it | bring "Peace on earth, good will to 1 men," and the cessation of hostilities j i throughout the world, that peace a iittt ' - prosperity may be restored to all na- i tions. May this glorious country of i umi, the land of the free and the home 1 1 of the brave, be continually blessed b- l the omnipotent God ir- whom it has al- | ways trusted for protection aud guiil- < a nee. May this city, nestled in the most I beautiful spot in the state, take on > new life with the advent of the new year, and get in line for a determined t forward movement. Let by-go lies be f by-gones, and each individual do their i levd best for the advancement of our | beautiful city by the sea. We would t suggest that you write, on your page c of resolutions, if you have the room, I "I will not be a knocker, but a pusher," i and then our town will boom. 1 o t to halt the sea's ravage t The assurance that Assemblyman 1 Godfrey give of bills surely being introduced as the next session of the trials! lire which will provide for municipal protection for seashore cities in New Jersey, is welcome corroboration of the Assemblyman's publicly ex- r pressed intention to start legislative - action H prevent further encroach- * menta of a costly nature by the ocean. ' Mr: Godfrey's thorough knowledge of * the coast and the requirements of the 1 rase, if there is to be intelligent action ' taken, admirably equips him for the ' shaping of any, measures that have for ' their purpose the preservation of the r seafront. -The Assemblyman appreciates that there iB a vast difference in 8 State of Ohio, city of Toledo.

hills that mean something and bills that are worth little more than the upon which they are set forth. . .i nm-uial measures arc to be taken, »t are to confer permanent benefits, J they must be elastic enough to admit j of m adjustment without materially af- . fecting the purpose for which they are | designed. ' To make sure that this^ffect will • b • secured has beep Mr- Godfrey's aim, and for that reason his .bills will operate either with or without state aid. j If New Jersey can find it convenient ; to lend assistance it will be welcomed but if the state's aid is withheld the I k of .seacoast protection will -not : be retarded) a I Mr. Godfrey has sounded the crying j need of the whole proposition when he [ ' declares the demand .is for someting f i permanent and lasting. High tides and i . j storms will recur so long as there is j I an oceair-t^ produce them, aud it is ' Wo'king in a circle to build boardwalks , i and bulkheads, submit to their b -ill U ; demolished by wind and waves, and i then expend large sums of moiley simr ply to prepare for the next Invasion of * ' pounding waters. It is a sample of I municipal extravagance that has been -. accepted as inevitable because no con- ■ certed resistance has been put forth by . > the people. The spirit of municipal • economy is rampant and Mr, Godfrey ( s questions if a better opportunity exists i for the state to set an example toward ! refcm in this regard, i Out of the Assemblyman's experience 1 he has evojved the idea of bulkheads ■ for the outside of the boardwalk rather • than inside the promenade, and it is > probable he announces that this will be > one provision in the bills to be intro- , dtfeed. i It is Mr. Godfrey's belief that addi- > tional solidity will be contributed to the > seawall, which can thus be continuous » with little or no opportunity afforded ; for the turbulent waters to undermine ' the defenses. The nature of the bulwark construc- - tion is not the chief obstacle" which I must be surmounted. It is the quesI tion of state- aid that presents a | i puzzling problem. The state and the ' • United States Government should work ; i together to secure the best results for ! both are concerned in keeping the coast , i intact Fifty years ago the Federal 1 Government built a protection for the j lighthouse when it was menaced by the aea,„jvith the result that land was made which since, has been "sold for millions J af dollars. I I Government engineers have assured , | our business men that Uncle Sam can- ' not lend aid to the protection proposii tion. but Mr. Godfrey is by no means disheartened. It is his contention that if the committee repr. senting the State , Chamber of Commerce which was ap- ' • pointed at the recent Trenton Confer - j once gets busy and pays a (personal ' , visit to New Jersey's Congressmen an - j appropriation could he secured. | President Wilson is a Jersey man i ' ' who is thoroughly familiar with the situation along our coast. Secretary of ! ■j Garrison, also a Jerseyman, is j J similarly well informed. Advantage j pan be taken of the State's representa- ' . j tives in the National halls, to exert in- ' fluenee that will be felt. Once Con- j ration, and New Jersey legislators will j > some basis for proceeding them- IT selves. I r Mr. Godfrey is not blind to the condi- 1 f tion of the state's finances, which may I account for his warning that upon their I " ptofuseiiess or scarcity much must depend. Aside from what the bills con- I ^ tain of a welcome nature, there is an- 1 other not sounded in the forthcoming)^ bills that infuses cheer for all the advocates of the shore protection plan. Hq insists that the state wants to dd ° proper thing and that it will not b • because of opposition if there is failure of the scheme. — Atlantic City Rr- j the real new jersey S Jersey men visiting other parts .of the b country find a widespread delusion that n New Jersey geographically speaking, is » flat and uninteresting state, divided A expanses of salt marsh and J scrub timber. People who go to the p Panama-Pacific fair will have a chance t! to see New Jersey in miniature, with b its picturesque variety of meadows, up- b and crags and its wealth of shim- t; mering lakes. d The 810.000 map of New Jersey now u about completed by order of the state, v will be one of the most attractive and p instructive exhibits at San Francisco, t! dimensions, twenty-nine by sixteen h feet, allow of a scale of two inches to d the mile, while an inch of elevation t 400 feet, so that the rugged fea- c: tures of the northern part of the state p will be plainly apparent. After the map b has done its missionary work in show- n ing Panama-Pacific visitors what New o would really look like as viewed F from an airship, it might be well to n have it reproduced in several editions R permanent display in schools, b libraries and other public in- ci eti tut ions in various parts of the state. *

It will 1 remembered that there were twen- 1 ty-ninc cases of small-pox with five i deaths. No cases occurred on the Vtr- I mont, although her men. examined and vaccinated just before sailing, were exposed in the same manner as those of I Ohio. An investigation showed, that no vaccination had been i done on the Ohio for two years before i outbreak, and vaccination of the ; crew immediately after gave almost 00 < per cent, of takes, about what would ' I be expected in an unprotected com- j 1 munity. Among 100 recruits received 1 | the Ohio shortly before sailing for and vaccinated at that time, not a single case occurred. The report y mentions t lso a slight increase in ma- J which is accounted for by the' occurring on ships in Mexican waters. The Surgeon -General suggests)' ' vk. ft?. "■>.« •£' •
