The Doynton Skaters, Graduates OF vnssar. Edit
aud Manage tho Perth Amboy Republican.
Two vassar graduates, who were editors OF
tho Vussdr Miscellany In their undergraduate
days, have undertaken to build up tho Perth
Anibov Republican into a vigorous ond profit
able weekly newspaper. The people Of Perth
Amboy approve of tho young women's effort
and are rewarding 1t, The Republican was run
by Tooker Brothers until a year ago. 1t had
run down very much indeed. The Chronicle, q
semi-weekly. and the Democrat practically had
the local newspaper business all to themselves.
At the end Of last year the Republican and It's
mechanical outfit wero bought by q company In
which c. w. Boynton of Sowaren. N. j., the
owner Of Boynton's Beach, had a large interest.
Georgia Boynton, who was graduated from Vas
sar with tho class of 1895. was put in charge.
Anybody who expected the Republican to be-
come q woman's journal was disappointed. For
several issues the paper did not change at all.
Then, one by one. signs of a directing hand un-
trammelled by the bewhiskered traditions of
Jersey journalism appeared. To infuse life into
the paper was a slow task. People had become
used to the Republican as just the sleepy, cut
and-dried sort of a paper that for years had clut-
tered the Perth Amboy Post Office on every
Saturday or Sunday or Monday, according to
the disposition of the editor. Miss Boynton
was apparently quite determined that. what
ever happened. she would not advertise
the change in the weekly's management by
drawing attention to the fact that 1t was run by
n woman. Mighty few Of the personal ideas OF
either OF the young women as women are per

watched their experiment. but 1t has been al
