The b schooi.

The first thought that presents itself is.
why are pablo schools established? With
out a proper consideration of this thought
all efforts in the direction of an education
are aimless. The only satisfactory an
sw er that can he given to this question is
ITO prepare for good citizenship" Are
our schools doing this? In many of them
I am glad to say they are. With a view
to this | shall proceed to consider the ma
ture of education in its most important
bearings. The first aspect is its moral
bearing. Without a moral principle to
guide, the otherwise educated man is like
a costly building on a rotten foundation.
s'The true, the beautiful and the good
are the pillars upon which rest the whole
educational structure. Let the boy have
q sense of right and the desire to do right;
let him be ohedient, courteous, truthful,
energetic, self-reliant, patient and careful
in the use OF his time Il the means for
his improvement, and he at once ON
mands the elements that form his character
and lead to the development and furnish
ing of his mind. On the other hand, let
him be idle, neglected.. untruthful, dis
honest in word and action. unpriuciplod
and concerned in no ones liberty but his
own, ana all the external forces that can
be brought to bear upon him can never
truly educate him. Education implies
discipline and training 1t implies upon
the part of The pupil seli-denial-the cut
ting loose from bad habits and the estab-
iishment of good ones. 1t implies on the
parents and teachers harmony of views
and efficient efforts to make the means
contribute TO the desired result.

wooa.town 10 Have water works.

A great amount of talk concerning
orks has been current during the
past few weeks, but no definite action in
the matter was made until Wednesday
night, when at a special meeting of the
Borough Council, held to consider the
subject. it was decided by a vote of four to
two to accept the proposition of I. X. Nc
Clong, of Camden, to erect water-works,
and an ordinance to that effect will pro-
baby be passed by council soon. hose
voting in favor of the proposition were
Messis. Dickinson, Carr, Lawson and
Ballinger, with Lippincott and Wright
voting in the negative.
Mr.. McClong, whom We understand re-
presents a firm in Philadelphia, has been
in town for several weeks past, working
up the matter. The ordinance as presented
by him on Wednesday night for the con-
sideration of council. and which will pro-
badly be adopted, with some alienation,

1t is entitled AN ordinance to grant to I.
X. McClong, of Camden, N, j. or assigns,
the exclusive privileged of constructing and

The Special Shoe Sale
Under the Opera House.

Our special shoe sale goes on
with undated force and increased
popularity. While our aim and in
tention at the start of our mark
down sale was especially to get
more room, which we needed for
other goods, buyers have come to
US in such numbers and our stock
become SO much broken up and de-
pleted that we were forced to buy
more goods or disappoint many who
had come from a distance, possibly
expressly to supply themselves with
shoes. The consequence is that we
have been obliged to buy largely of
goods within the past week, and
although we have gained no more
room we're selling shoes and we
must suffer a little crowding for
what it brings US. Therefore buyers
can depend on finding a bright new
stock Of fresh and seasonable high
grade and first quality goods at
lower prices than anywhere else, no
matter where the anywhere else"
may be. This takes in all this state
and all the adjoining states. It's a
bold statement, but it's true.
As to n@rices, we might quote
prices as we said last week, but they
don't count. Go in the store and look
around, you can judge better for
yourself. One word, however, as
TO prices, and that is this: a third
quality (only think of it, third quail
lty when the first is none too good
and the second not SO good, what
can the third grade be good for,l
Buckle Arctic shoe is being sold
hereabout for sI.oo a pair. Does
any one suppose that a third quality
rubber shoe, whether it is stamped
on the bottom Goodyear, Globe"
Imperial" or Norfolk" will do the
wearer any more service or wear
him one day longer if he pays sI.oo
for them than they would if he
bought them for Is cents. We
have them, and although We sell
them under protest we don't charge
a dollar a pair for them. We don't
claim to know more about shoes
than those who make them, but we
do claim to know as much about
them as any dealing in them within
half a score of miles of Woodstown.
Come and see US if you want honest
shoes truthfully represented, at
prices lower than anywhere else.

BY far the most valuable business calen-

is the Columbia Cycle Calendar and Stand,
issued by the Pope Mfg. Co, of Boston,
Mass. The Calendar is in the form of a
pad containing 366 leaves, each o. x "a
inches; one for each day of the. year, to be
torn of daily, and one tor the entire year.
At the lower end OF each leaf is a blank
for memoranda, and the leaves are only
fastened at the upper end. Although this
is the sixth issue Of the Calendar. all the
matter is fresh and new, comprising nota-
BILE events in cycling, opinions OF physi.
clans and clergymen, hints about road
making, aud numerous other topics, the
whole being enough to make a fair-sized
volume when printed in book type.

members of the Twenty-fourth Regiment
| New Jersey Volunteers was held in Mill
| vile, ON Saturday, in the Institute Hall.
There was a creditable street parade, and
at the head of the veterans was the old
horse of Col. Robertson, the deceased CON-
mander of the regiment. The buildings
along the route were decorated with flags
and bunting, and crowds lined the side
walks and cheered the old soldiers as they
marched along. Tice Post, No. 40 and
Union Post, No. 80, participated in the pa
rade. The meeting ofsurvivors opened with
prayer by Rev. w. G. Stockton, the we'll
known evangelist, who was chaplain of
the regiment during the war. DIR. W. l..
Newell, who presided, introduced Mayor

the veterans to the city, and referred to the
fact that the date of their reunion was the

icksburg, in which the regiment took a
prominent part and lost so many of its
members. About 200 of the survivors
were present and only one death was
reported since the last reunion. The
