Senator Kuhl. Of Hunterdon County, is eet''ns
TO be really dsrespectfu to the great men
who have nursed and cherished the Democratic
Marty of New-Jersey through sunshine ana
storm REGARDLESS of their own comfort. For
axa,nn,s he talks in this cruel and contemptu-
ous way about New-Jerseys senior United
States Senator:
Mr. Smith has the right to think and act as he
feels disposed as an individual. but ne Is poIi-

There is proposition afoot to introduce soap
and towels into the Paterson public schools for

That only needs beginning. Before long every
school would have a bathing annex
Talking about schools recalls the difficulties
that beset the Newark Board Of Education in
fhe construction Of a new high school. The
LEGISLATURE authorized the issuance of S300Oo1
of bonds to cover the entire cost. OF that
amount $4,000 remains after buying site.
and the sum is said to be inadequate for the
kind of building desired by some Of the Com
missioners. President Gay is among those who
take vigorous stand against the proposition
to ask for legislative authority 10 get more
money Newark can build a high school to
meet the needs Of to-day for $21J.000 or less
but IL il is proposed to look ahead. and at thcs
same time put up structure architecturally in
keeping with Newarks position as the premier
, city Of New-Jersey. much more money will be
required.
Maybe County School superintendent John
Terhune. of Bergen County. had Newark in
mind when he made these remarks in hisireport
TO the State Superintendent:
When l read of this or tina. city expanding
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars for erecting
furnishing and operating high school for
few hundred. while thousands denied sit
tings at the other end. II seems to me that there
ID great injustice done to both ends and some
body Ia responsible for IT, Would 1t not be
better to provide first for the rudiments. and
siye instruction far up the ladder the
funds will reach and thus make good citizens
orall as far as circumstances will permit?
In Bergen County, with a uniform course Of
study. Ridgewood. Rutherford and EnglewOod
would have far-sized classes for the ninth and
tenth years. BY draining the surrounding dis
tricts; while Hackensack would have large
classes in these grades. Now for the eleventh
and twelfth years Hackensack could handle,
with ease. the entire county. i mean this course
to admit to any college and not simply an ex-
tended grammar school education
