Eli Allen has accepted position in the
machine shop of the Repauno Manufactur-
ing Company.
Albert Ladner visited the school last
Friday and entertained pupils and teachers
with his phonograph.
The annual meeting of the Repaupo
Meadow Company was held in Myers Hall,
Repaupo, on Wednesday afternoon OF this
week Hance Helms, Henry Shoemaker
and Samuel Casperson were rejected manag
.ers, and Elmer Bradshaw, secretary. The
managers were authorized to advertise for
bids to dredge the creeks and report at a
special meeting to be called within sixty
days.
The annual school meeting will be held
IN the school house ON Tuesday night,
March 81 This meeting promises to be
very spirited, and a large turnout is ex-
pected. The reformers have named the
men who will be candidates for members of
the Board of Education. and are making a
lively canvas. Some of the has beens'
and those who received their education in
the days when the three RS were taught
do not seem to understand the system of
teaching in this day nor do they take the
time and trouble to visit the school in order
to more thoroughly understand the rapid
strides that have been made in the educa-
tional world. Should this faction control
the election next Thursday night. the re-
suit will be that new principal will be
elected to Gibbstown school during the
school years Of 1905-06
We regard the present teacher as being
the best Of her class in this county, and
this fact can be substantiated by the work
she has done and is doing, and it is to be
hoped that all voters in this school district
will be present at the school meeting, and
will vote for such men as will elect such
teachers as have proven their worth for the
benefit OF their own and neighbors children

1t often occurs that those who are long
est III profession are shortest in perform
anee We have heard much in recent
years, from Republican sources, of the value
of publicity as a cure for public ills There
was introduced in the legislature last week
bill that is especially meritorious, along
the lines of Republican profession, yet it
stands just as much of chance of enact
ment as though it had never been prepared
and introduced. 1t is Assembly bill No
262 and provides for the publication in
newspapers of the laws enacted by the
legislature. If there is any other subject
of wider general interest than this we
have not discovered it. One of the first
considerations Of the State should be a
well informed electorate, and how are the
people to have this Information if not
through their newspapers. Under the
present arrangement only the favored few,
or those thoughtful enough to make special
arrangements with officials, receive them.
Many of the great States give publicity Of
the legislative enactments in this way and
it was under the guise of Reform that the
system was abandoned in New Jersey ten
years ago.
The press of the State is unanimously in
favor of the bill, and the people, too, favor
it, but there is a suspicion that orr present
rulers favor publicity in directions less
likely to subject them to public criticism,
and that the bill will fail

II Messrs. EckeIs and Beck are correct in
their deductions that only those charged
with the operation of railroads and banks
and trusts etc. are competent to fairly and
inteligently legisate equitably for them
and the people, then why educate all the
people? Why this boast Of the Importance
of universal education if it gives not the
power to reason and reach right and just
conclusions? The chatter of these alleged
great men who profess great love for Amer
lean institutions, rings hollow, and the sus-
pician turks in the minds of those who read
their vaporings, that they are merely hire
lings, and low priced ones at that.
