RECENT SESSION OF N. J. S. S. SUMMER SCHOOL This famous school held its 23rd annual session in the High School Building. Asbury Park. N. J., from Thursday, July 6th, to Thursday, July 13th. The faculty numbered sixteen and there were 379 students in attendance not counting those who came for a single lecture. 'This was a record attendance, the largest previous enrollment being 345 in 1915. Every county in the state' was represented, Essex County ' sending 84, Monmouth 36, and Passaic 30. Sussex County received the bannar award by the Alumni for the largest number of teachers and officers. This County tlio remote from the school and sparsely settled sent 15 students. In addition seven states besides New Jersey were represented in the student body. Pennsylvania leading with 30 Students. Seventy men were enrolled and 309 women. The largest department was the Junior which numbered 96, but the work was by no means confined to the elementary grades, 48 being enrolled in the Intermediate Department. 37 iq..the Senior, 13 in the Adult and 49 in the Superintendents. The Beginners Department made the greatest gain, advancing from 29 in 1915 to 47 in, 1916. Miss Frances Weld Danielson was the efficient leader. A new department this year was that for County Officer where those engaged in Interdenominational Cooperative work studied systematically for a whole week under Dr. Joseph Clark, Superintendent of the New York State Sunday School Association. Hfc class was large and enthusiastic. Dr. Clark is widely known for the bookB and artitles he has written under the sobriquet of "Timothy Standby." He contributed a humorous account of Asbury Park and the School Which will appear in the "Messenger" published by the New Jersey Sunday ' School Association. 835 Broad Street, VT« T» !ii - . . . I

will appear in August, together with a detailed report of tie ' school igiving the name of every student. ' The instruction of the School was en- ' tirely unsectarian. six different denomi- 1 nations were represented in the faculty ' and eleven in the student body. Three quarters of those present studied for a whole week in spite of ex- ' ceptional heat and there was an atmos- ' phere of great earnestness and enthus- * iasm in the school. Forty received di- ' plomas for having completed the work ' of three summer sessions. But not all the time was given to study. There was much sociability. In ' the hotels, where the pupils gathered in * large groups, animated singing was a V decided feature of tfee school exercises, there was a pleasant reception on the first day to introduce the teachers, a ' boat ride and' marshmallow roast on the beach in the evening, and a jolly evening given over to stunts by the var- . ious counties and to story telling. The t hathing hour was used by many and this year a tennis tournament was or- . ganized. All enjoyed the attractions and the coolness of the boardwalk in the evening.

NEW JERSEY ROADS •L That the road Condtions in New Jersey are not what they should be and n- that the road system of this state is (j. considered very important not only log. cally but to the national government ^ as well as to the people of the entire country is evidenced by the fact that the Federal Government has decided to «• contribute *al2,(XKi for usee in the build- , i- ing of the system. This sura added to ■ j.- the *7,000,000 provided in the Egan Good ' e_ Roads Bill which will in all probability 1 be passed by referendum in; November, 1 will give to the State for highway pur- ( poses, a total of almost *8,000,000. s' Co-operation between the Federal y Government and the various states in ^ the matter of highway improvement has q begun. It was fostered ffy the realiza- , tion of the necessity of good roads not alone for pleasure" and business pur- ^ poses but more particularly for milit tary purposes. In the next five years ^ *150,000,000 will be expended U|sjn arterial roads selected by the highway y authoritites and subpject to the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture. This plau became a concrete proposition when p the two important national road bills were merged, passed and signed by n President Wilson. g The effect of this gigantic appropriation by the national government will be a very important fartor in restoring the ^ State of New Jersey to its former po- ^ sition and title. "Queen of Roads States," according to the opinion of George E. ^ Blakeslee. author of the "Egan Good Roads Bill." and one of the best informed men upon this subject, in New Jersey. c He said: ^ "Nothing that the National GoveruI ment has ever done in its cooperating I with the States ha.- been more construci tive and progressive than this latest move. Here is a proposition, based upon r the same plan now before the people of , ^ew Jersey, where tht- entire country , I will be enabled to bftild up a system of , perfect highways without a cent of add- er , ed expense to the taxpayers. sc "The one-hundred anjl fifty millions of dollars to be distributed by the Federal j?

^ Government will, like New Jersey's sev- j en millions, be obtained from sources of ' revenue . already in vogue and without placing added burden upon anyone. The ] money that is now being paid bv automobilists in taxes and other incidentals are devoted to the repair of little patches ( of roads everywhere. The constructive ' plan to be placed in effect under the provisions bf tht new measures is to devote this money to a solid fund which will permit the reconstruction of entire systems of roads. The same monies now . spent for senseless little jobs which are ' extra vagrant and practically useless, the money will give us systems over which if ' will be a genuine delight to travel. "The military advantages of the re- ' building and extensions of our road systems are inestimable. Great armies regardless of equipment may be moved ' rapidly and speedily in every direction while now the movement of military r forges is a very grave and great problem of the lack of expediency in the ' matter of maintaining the highway systems."

Cwfying a life preserver in small - boats is also advocated. Under the Federal roles motorboats are required to comply with this regulation by carry - • a life preserver for every occupant. I l law does not apply to row-boats and canoes, yet such a precaution is very sensible, according to these authorities on the dangers of the water. Be careful i of water wings and such contrivances also, tbey say, because when in a posision of fancied security, a valve maygive way and leave the swimmer to own resources.
