VlneIand Training School

The Training School, the official Or
gan of the New Jersey Training School
for Feeble Minded Girls and Boys, at
Vineland, makes the following appeal
in its last issue, which merits the atten-
ton of those who are in a position to
grand and noble work:
Thanksgiving Day is one of the do
nation Days. of the Training School.
We ask you all to think of your own
blessings, of your happiness and pride
in your own children, untouched by
the hand of misfortune, and to think
of these little ones who by some acci-
dent or mishap for which they are in
no way responsible are unable to take
their places in the schools and homes
as normal children.
Our buildings and grounds are not
the property of the State, but of the
philanthropic citizens of the State, who
realizing the need, have contributed to
this great work. We need your help.
Children still beg for admission but we
cannot receive them for lack of funds.
Have you had cause for Thanksgiv-
ing during the past year? Show it in
a substantial way to those less FORUM
ate than you. Are you unable to make
a contribution yourself? Ask your pas
tor to speak of it on Thanksgiving Day.
Have the collection taken on that day
for the children of the Training School
and ask your local editor to make men,
ton of the day as a donation day for
the School. One earnest mar or wo-
man in a community can be the source
of great good in this way.
Have you a child who is imperfect as
our children are? Surely then to you
the call does not go unheeded.
In the best of homes the environment
is not suited for the child who is unable
to follow normal paths, and %unhappi-
ness inevitably results, but here in this
Home-this School-all things are
fitted for the little one whose darkened
mind must he led out of the night into
the twilight, aye, if it be possible, into
the daylight of hope.

An Important Matter

From the Ocean City Ledger.
The action of City Council It the
meeting on last Monday evening in
adopting a resolution empowering the
special committee appointed to investi-
gate the sewer matter to include the
water plant also, calls attention to an
important matter pending in Ocean
City, and which will doubtless call for
disposition in the near future.
The special committee consisting of
Senator Lewis M. Crosse, Mayor Jos.
G. Champion, DIR. b. II. Abbott, Frank
Adams and r. l.. Golf, were appointed
by Council for the purpose of inquiring
into the price asked by the sewer COM
pany, the conditions on which the pres
ent system can be bought, and with
power to I'm ploy an engineer to give an
estimate of the cost of a new system.
BY the resolution of Council referred
to, this committee are empowered to
include the water plant.
These are most important matters
and will no doubt be given a most care
full consideration by the committee and
when they shall report it is to he hoped
that a way out of some of the muddle
in which Ocean City finds herself will
be indicated and the dissatisfaction
now felt will cease.

Notable Man Dead.

George May Powell, of Newfield,
who was buried this afternoon, had a
career of some prominence, says the
Vineland journal, of last Saturday.
He was born in Livingston County,
N. Y, in 1885. AS a young man he
sCon became active in religious work.
In 1868 he was secretary and manager
of the Evangelical Press Association
and in 1878 led a geological and archH-
illogical expedition into Egypt and
Syria. He organized the American
Forestry Association and was a valu-
able aid to Mckinley in fighting the
timber thieves in the west. He aided
the New Jersey Forestry Commission
all he could. During the war he was
statistician in the Treasury Department
and once made a famous speech en-
titled Facts and Figures of the Hour,n
showing that our citizens were taxed
less during the war than Europeans
were during peace times. The speech
was largely used in the Lincoln cam
paign. The deceased claimed the dis
tinction of suggesting the Supreme
Court plan of peace negotiations which
is now the basis of the present in%terna-
tional peace court at The Hague. We
are indebted largely to the book "Who
is Who", for this information.

Harvesting All the Year Around.

Harvesting goes on in one quarter or
another of the globe all the year round.
In January it is the New Zealander and
the native Of Argentina who cut their
wheat; in February and March the East
Indian and the Egyptian.
April finds the same operation in full
swing in Cyprus, Asia Minor. Persia and
Cuba. In May China and Japan have
their turn, while June is perhaps the
busiest month in this respect during the
whole year, for then Turkey, Greece,
Spain, southern France, as we'll as most
of the Southern States of America, are
all equally busy.
The more northerly States Of Amer
lea, as we'll as Austria Germany and
parts of Russia, do their harvest gath
ering in July and August.
August, of course, is particularly the
month for Great Britain, and Septem-
Der and October for Sweden and Nor
way. Peru and South Africa are busy
harvesting in November and December.
