SCHOOL NOTES.
The New Law In Regard TO Teach
ers' Institutes.

(BY MIR. }. }. RowE.j
One Of the many changes that the las
General Assembly mtde In the school
laws, provides that the Annual Teachers
Institute shall be- held on three days so
by tho County Board of Education, II
the months Of Septembo-, Octob, r
November, December, instead of in the
hot summer mouths, us hereto ore.
There will be no changes in tho text
books used in the schools, for at least
twoyoaIs, the legislature having failed,
Ur refused to provide therefor.
Every school g.rl and every school boy
should DO taught that honest labor does
not degrade the toicr. But nevertheless
we should not try to thwart the natural
disposition to choose the kind of employ.
ment that seems most fitting to the
individual. Every wiso man selects the
occupation that renders him most use
ful to the world, in general, and to him
self and his, in particular. Tho far
sooing parent and teacher will lead the
young to look forward to useful careers,
and to begin preparation oarly.
Thoughtful men do not build houses
upon the sand, but upon solid found
ntions. Neither hago successful men
begun the study Of law, medicine, book.
keeping, or socalled business courses,
before they have acquired, at the least,
u good High School education or better
still have had a liberal college course.
Experience has shown to the
sorrow Of some doting parents that
1t is sometimes unsafe to send young
boys and immature girls away TO distant
oahools were they are not longer under
the parental eye. Many such schools
make some boast Of private watchful-
ness, Lut, too often, there the matter
euds, ior the faculties are too busy with
their daily lessons To use much diligence
IN safeguarding the moral welfare Of
students committed TO them. Only too
often the spoiled or ruined child is sim
ply sent back home, disgraced. Expul-
sion is not a tit substitute for proper
guidance, nor satisfaction TO tho dis
appointed, sorroHing parents. What
Jasper needs is school 50 good and 50
great that young people will not mood
10 leave home!to attend school, before
their characters Rro we'll established.

A very pretty wedding was sol
emnized at the Ochs Hotel, TOwan-
da, on Tuesday at twelve o'clock,
the contracting parties being Mr..
Theron Allen of New Albany and
Miss Etiie Eddy of Laporte. Rev.
Mrs. c. r. Allen, performed the GER
emony. Miss Ella Trip of this
place, was brides maid and Mr.. Fred
Eddy, brother of the bride, acted as
best man. We unite with a large
circle of friends in extending con-
gratulations.
A word of praise for our Street
Commissioner, Mr.. John Hassin.
Every dollar he has expended on
our streets shows for itself and where
he has worked the effects will be
seen for many years. 1t pays to do
work well even if so much ground
is not covered. The amount of mon
ey which our borough authorities
can spend on the streets, is limited,
but they have certainly made the
most of it, thanks to the intelligent
work of Mr.. Hassin.

Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1903-09-03

On par with the Constitutions claim
in the asylum collection matter, is its
Iaudation of County Collector Pierson
for the discovery that this county was
paying a greater sum for the support OF
its patients in the State Hospital than
the law stipulated, followed by saving
of $4,000 annually in the Asylum expense.
We are sure Mr.. Pierson feels Inundated
by this reference, because the fact that the
Asylum managers were over-charging the
counties was discovered by the Mercer
county Freeholders, and every county in
the State secured reduction in the charge,
by simply deducting from the bill 81 per
week for each patient. A query that is
pertinent in this connection is Does any
body know how great a sum was over
paid on this account, and has anybody had
the backbone to undertake to have returned
to our county treasury what was illegally
taken from it /?
