the organization and management of
schools, in the systematizing of their
class work, in the definite assignment
of lessons and in the manner of con-
Quoting recitations. Usually, little Or
no academic instruction is glver.
In view, however, of the fact that
many teachers are working for the
higher grade certificate, some academ-
ic instruction will be given in the sub
ject of Algebra, and as Agriculture has
been recently added to the branches
required by law to be taught in all the
public schools Of the State, special
attention will be given to this subject.

instructions will be given in the follow
ing ubjects:-United States History,

holders of county certificates and per-
sons intending to teach during the
coming year, are also included in this
invitation.

GOOD INVESTMENT
observer Tells of the Work of the
Local Y. NJ. G.. A.

The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation viewed in many ways is a
great investment for the community
In which it is located. The greatest
asset of the nation is its young men.
The business man does wisely who
invests large or small part in this
Institution. The local association is
doing the best sail around" work in
the state or on the Gould system,
and therefore should receive a splen-
did backing from the community. The
association is under the management
of twelve of the most capable men in
the community, and for the past six
years it has kept its current expen-
SEES paid monthly. The board, how
ever, needs larger support to handle
the work as 1t justifies, and they
should have a membership at least
from every public spirited citizen.
Only about fifty per cent of those
eligible to membership in the COM
munity are members at this time, and
1t should be an easy matter during the
next two weeks to secure the remain
ing two hundred members to COM
plete the full one thousand, to which
point the membership regiment is
working. OBSERVER.

.L.D.ANDERSON
Delivers Good Sermon on Parting
of Lot and Abraham.

A large and discriminating audience
was present at the tabernacle last
night to listen to an eloquent discourse
by the Rev. l.. d. Anderson upon the
passage found in Genesis 1871, de-
failing the parting of Lot and Abrs-
ham. Lot typ;fied the ingenious,
avaricious and degraded in human ma
ture-Abraham, that which is unselfish
and true. Lot chose the land most
delightful to the eye, unmindful of the
evil surroundings by which it was en-
vironed. Abraham chose unselfishly
the material things of life, but gained
immeasurably in the nobler attributes
OF the soul. Both alike, at the first
prosperous, in the end, Lot met dis.
aster and disgrace, while Abraham,
rich in worldly goods, earned his titles
of "The Friend of God" and the Gath
er of the Faithful" through strict ad-
herence to the right.
AS the parting of Lot and Abra ham
was necessitated by the differing mo-
tives that prompted each, so each in
dividual soul must come to the parting
of the ways that are marked good and
evil. The choice is voluntary, but
must be made. Shall it be made now
when it may be done of our own free
will, or shall the question be only f.
nally decided in that great day of judg-
ment when the evil and the good shall
forever be compelled to go their sep
arate ways?
There will be preaching again to-
night in the tabernacle. The leader of
the choir especially requests all who
will, to assist in the singing.

TENS Of facts in IDEAL serial order, accord
ing to concepts which themselves determine
both the ordering Of each series and the
precise relations Of It's members TO one

does not determine the relations Of the essen
tial processes Of evolution to one another,
does not define their inner unity, and does
not enable us TO conceive a series Of types
Of evolutionary processes In orderly rela-
lions to one another. Nevertheless, the
services rendered 70 his age by Spencer,
viewed as a pioneer teacher, are likely
long to be remembered. His demand that
the evolutionary concepts shall be unified
remains a permanently inspiring logical
idea that promises TO bear much fruit in
the future.

Of sociological materials. From time 10

lastly that wherever he went II was with
his eyes open. A walk, an excursion, a
ride in a bus or a train, a sojourn In the
country would supply him with fresh facts.
