DAY FOR ST.
VALENTINE.
Mails Are Filled With The Mis-.
sives Small Boys have
Fun Tonight.

Today is. ST.. Valentines Day and
the mails are heavy with the envelopes
containing the pretty and, in some
cases, expensive missives Of friendship
aud love. The letter carriers on their
ronnds met more of the younger mem
bars of the families at the door than
usual, to receive their mail, and loud
were the sighs of disappointment If II
search of the mail bag failed to make
good their expectapt hopes.
While the day is not observed as
much Of recent years as in past de.
cades, still the Dumher Of valentines
continues to be quite large.
In MANY parts of the city, smiling
youngsters. tonight will sneak, with
stealthy tread, up the front porch CT
a netehboring house, drop bul ging
envelope and then ring the bell and
run away.
The sale of the despicable so-called
funny" valentines was not very
large, although, notwithstanding,
that style of art" is still quite popu-
lar with hosts Of small boys.
Some of these tiendish creations are
unfit for public sale, and should be
suppressed.

State Superinlendent's Report
Goes Into The Subject
in Detail.
EFFECT ON CHILDREN.
Neat and Pleasant Surroundings
Tend to Cultivate ChiIdrens
Minds for Future.
.SbtctaI ko kAe EveNing .NeeQg.

Trenton. Feb. 14:-Uharles J. Bsx-
ter, state superintendent of public in
struction. has just prepared a report
tor submission to the State Board of
Education concerning the improve
ment of school yards. The preparation
of the report marks the beginning of
an effort to beautify all the public
school years of the state.
This county superintendent of Mid.
dlesex county, together with the local
superintendent in Perth Amboy, New
Brunswick and other towns of the
county, are to be interested in the
plan with view of extending it all
through the county.
superintendent Baxter says that in
the pass ten years there has been
marked Improvement in the public
school buildings of the state, which
statement is made impressive by the
following figures:
sctonl YAsr. Build. Owaed.
1393-1S94 1,70l
Total Val. Av. Val.
sl1, ,57l, ,22a Sc, 9Os
1908 1904 1874
$40 s61.393 10, ,559.
Mr.. Baxter makes strong plea for
! better shool environment. He says in
the report:
I Though we have school buildings
to which an appropriate setting has
been given, the hard trodden, barren,
and unattractive school yard comes so
near to being the rule and is so
familiar an association of school life
that it does not occur to the smaiority
of people that anything less unsiRhtly
amp forbidding is either possible or
desirable.
The susceptible child unconscious
IL and inevitably forms his ideals, de-
rives his ideas of order and appropri.
ateness, and much of his refinement
or basement of thought from what ne
constantly sees.
The superintendent asserts that a
portion of every school yard should be
reserved for ornamentation, at the ex-
pense of the district 1t should be
graded, fertilized, and symetrically
laid out, and then turned over to the
school, The pupils should be made to
understand it is theirs. The ORA
mantation of they ard by the planting
of seeds aud ornamental SHRUBS. Mr..
Baxter says, should be left to the pu-
pills. This, lie maintains. under pro-
per direction, would be more source
of amusement than aimless play. This
would relieve the teacher of much OF
the nervous strain of discipline.
Continuing the report says; The
Improvement of school surrounding;
is beginning to receive attention II
other states, and we cannot maintain
our present unccouutable indiffererc C,
to this subject without impairing oui
reputation.
New Jersey has 1881 public schoo
buildings representing an aggregat
investment of nearly $50 600, coo II
the extent that We improve and bean
tify their surroundings will we add t
their intrinsic as we'll as their edrca
tional value, and brighten the schoo
life OF our youth.
How to Improve and Besutify on

Canning Factory's Rapid Progress

In two weeks time the workmen have
made big showing on Audubon's
new canning factory. The main build
ing 40X90 feet, and the ware house,
30x60 are both up, the roofs on and
windows in. The big smoke-stack is
also up. The husking shed, 2Sx70 is
yet to be built. The bulk of the ma
chinery is not expected for about two
weeks.
The company, at present, expects to
can sweet corn only of which they have
made arrangements for something
over 300 acres, or about half what
they need for this years business.
To handle this they will need to hire
some seventy men, women, boys and
girls from Audubon and surrounding
country.
A Mr.. Kelly, Of Pomroy, will prob
