The advantages were apparent not only as to be more convenient for the taxpayers, but cause Jere borrowing by municipalities to Pode cde C s exsary, thus lessening interest charges and culting down expenses. Practically nobody disputed the benefits that would follow the adoption of this plan, but it took years to bring about the needed legislation. In the first year of the new plan Newark taxpayers will save not lesa than £150,000 in the way of interest Formerly paid for money borrowed in anticipation of taxes, and next year it is believed the saving may amount to $250,000, which means approximateIy six points in the tax rate. For the first time in its history the city‘ is on a pay-as-you-go basis, and it is the belief of its financial officers that this very desirable condition of affairs will be permanent. . Director Archibald‘s expressed satisfaction over the success of the plan is amply justified and the taxpayers join in the rejoicing. eommmameaeCLERCYMEN‘S SALARIES PECO AEs men, members of the West Jersey year. but it seems quite evident there still is room for improvemen Some years ago when former Govermor Hogg of Texas was prominently before the public there was a story extent «be had three childres boviidend y, Ima, Eura and Hera.

HAVING THE SCHOOL GO TO THE FARM BOY The Jewish Farmer of New York | sayin: A great deal of rightful effort hax been made in the past to have the farm boy go to a school where he could learn the . principals . of mgricalture, undoubtedly, a great deal of good has thus been accomplished. . Many a farm boy would have . eventually: drifted mway to the city, else remained on the old place to perpetuate the wasteful system of his progenitors, Pood d school knowledge an dinspiration for farm life. to the everlasting benefit of the entire community. . The majority of the foremost livestock breed» ers, poutry raisers and pedigree sted growers in every state are men who have come out of a school of one type or another. . However, the number of those who have the good fortune of getting such schooling is comparative ly limited. | There remains in every community a considerable number of boys of the right type who are deprived, for one reason or another, of this opportunity. "To mest this altuation the citizens of Cape May County, N. J., institued a system whereby the school is sent to the farm boy who cannot afford to gu to the school. A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN AGRICULTURE This new type of school is the out~ come of the Smith-Hughes-Lever Act. Its primary aim is to provide a fund for vocational instruction in the neeondary schools and for the training of | instructors . for . that . purpose, A consideral number of communities in every state in every state institut+d vocational training in their schools. Only a: few counties have faken the courses out of school and placed them on the farm.. In fact Cape May is the only county in the East that we know of. The instruction consists of the theoretical and practical phases, with u distinct predominance on the latter. The pupil who enrolls in the voentional school ix offered the choice of one of nine different projects which embrace every branch . of farming adapted to the community, | The proand begins at a proper season. If the project is, let us say, fruit growing, a and in the winter. A full time course consists of fifteen hours class room work a week. A part time course is given to those who cannot afford to Agsin pupils do not have to go to the school, to suit the convenience of the pupils rather than the teacher. The minimum age of the pupila is fourteen years. The fund for the work is derived from combined appropriations, by the County % per cent, the State 25 per cent and the Federal Government 50 per cent. ‘The State also furnishes full equipment for the first year. A tax ssessment in Cape May County for this purpose amounts to no more than 9 cents on every thousand dollars‘ worth of property. * THE EFFECT OF THE NEw SCHOOL Although the school is so recent in origin, the quality and mature of the work is already quite obvivious. First business like manner in which they treat the project, manifests an undyection for and am Attachment to the soil. .

The seeing here is very distinct. the worst sceptic in led to believe. The project is worth all the effort from this standpoint alnoe. THE MAN BEHIND THE PROJECTS In every new, untried: movement, the influence of a personality becomen m decisive factor in its nuccess or failure. The very gratifying results that have attended the working of a new school is in a great measure due to the man who is behind it-the instructor in vocational agriculture Mr. Sylvan Einstein. Mr. Einstein received his training in agriculture at the National Farm School; has had a number of years of practical experience. . For three yearn previous to his entering upon this line he was doing vocational work in Norma and Alliance. His recent work on a farm gave him a rich foundation . of practical . knowledge which is invaluable to the new type of teaching. Mis early experience with boys developed in him an affection for the work and a great belief in its importance. He is | thoroughly imbued | with the idea that only through work with the young gencration can we | ever hope ot build up a. permanent, | progressive and prosperous class of | farmers, | It was particulaly delightful to note the influence that Mr. Einstein has bad in the Woodbine community of Jewish farmers. ‘The remarkable progress that the farmers of that section have made may be attributed to a considerable degree to Mr. Einstein‘s activities. It is to be hoped that this new movement will spread and grow, and men like Mr. Einstein will be found to foster and carry it out." ----«»e@-.__._ IN MEMORIAM ‘The following "In Memoriam is republished this week, on account of typographical errors due to the fault of the printer, In loving remembrance of our dear one, Harry H.
