Old Fashioned Winters

Mark B. Lippincott, one of Woodbury's
Oldest citizens, whose intellect is as bright
and acute as many men of so, says this is
just an average old fashioned winter. The
winter of 1882 he says was the record
breaker of his experience. Snow fell in
October and between that date and April
10th if one found the earth he had to dig
through snow to find it. There was a
thunder storm in March, then it froze and
the surface of the snow was like ice. Men
skated on the snow from Chew's Landing
to Trenton, and drove their teams over
fences with absolute safety. Speaking Of
the future, he said there will be frost on
Nav IL. next.

them when once obtained. But small
percentage of college graduates take up
teaching, and many of these go into other
lines of work at the first opportunity. Out
of graduating class of 2S0 at Princeton
last year but twelve expressed an intention
to teach
This evident prejudice against teaching
as profession is bard for an outsider to
understand unless it be due to the same
spirit of unrest which makes men of every
profession find fault with their lives. 1t
is doubtful if the average doctor or lawyer
finds more pleasure in his work than the
average teacher does in his. The school
teacher is generally sheltered from uncon-
genial persons, and as to salaries, while
they range for women and men from $500
year to SIS, 200, the average salary Of men
teachers in public schools in New Jersey,
for example, is S87 a month The average
income of the doctors of the United States
has been estimated at $50 year.
Beyond the question Of money there is
an indirect reward for the schooteaeher
which men of other professions have not.
The doctor may point to remarkable cures,
the lawyer to the winning of a great law
case, but the successful teacher has an army
of witnesses themselves doctors and law
yers and business men, whose success is in
part his own, whose minds he has nodded,
whose impulses he has steadied, whose am
bitons he has encouraged Herein lies his
real reward.
As for the future OF the teacher, with the
growing consolidation of schools, the ten
drncy extending even into the rural districts
his position becomes more permanent and
his chances of advancement better In the
lager cities teachers are pensioned after

Larry Raymond finds beat house on

heated months Of Summer, and Hartman
found in his home a pleasant retreat from
the heat Of Baker Koch's oven room The
allegation made by Mr. Koch was that
Hartman passed eggs, bread and butter out
to RAYMOND and he conveyed them to his
Summer residence on the creek, where
both enjoyed them.
Messrs. Warner and Nueheimer. employ
ees OF Mr.. Koch, gave testimony that
seemed conclusive proof Of this condition,
but the defendants were so ably defended
by Messrs. F. B. Davis and A. H. Swack-
hamer, that what had seemed conclusive
proof of guilt looked like a most innocent
pastime, and the jury promptly set the men
free. Then, too, large number of solid
citizens of Mantua testified to Mr.. Ray
moni's former good character, and this fact
combined with Mr.. Swackhamer's most
persuasive and ingenious plea moved the
jury to prompt verdict of acquittal.

NEW JERSEY SCHOOLS
GROWING IN NUMBER.

GROWING IN NUMBER.
Charles J. Baxter, state superintendent
Of public instruction, has Just prepared a
report for submission to the state hoard Of
education concerning the improvement of
school yards. The preparation Of the re-
port makes the beginning Of an effort to
beautify all the pablic school yards Of the
state.
Superintendent Baxter says that in the
past ten years there has been marked in-
proyement in the public school buildings
of the state, which statement is made m-
pressive by the following fgures:
Buildings Total Average
school Year Owned Value al Value "a nde
1908 100 ..............i.s7l l9's6i,3Os 1858
Mr. Baxter makes a strong plea for bet
ter school environment He says in the
report -
Though we have school buildings to
which an appropriate setting has been
given, the hard trodden, barren, and unat-
tractive school yard comes so near to being
the rule, and is so familiar an association
OF school life that 1t does not occur to the
majority Of people that anything less un-
slightly aud forbidding is either possible or
desirable
He refers to the wholesome effect Of
neatness and order, and shows that the
owners Of great manufactures and the
great railroad corporations recognize the
economic value of the same influence He
points out that this leads them to beautify
the surroundings of their offices and ner-
GUS railroad stations.
s.It is ncomprehensihle, says Mr.. Rax-
ter, that so many patrons and enlightened
friends of our public should continue to be
blind to the far more important and endur-
ing effect of environment upon young life.
THE susceptible child unconscously and
inevitably forms his ideals, derives his
ideas of order aud appropriateness, and
much of his refinement or debasement of
thought from what he constantly sees
The i'll kept school yard, with tumble-down
enclosures. so familiar to him during school
days, will in all probability be reproduced
in the surroundings of his home in after
years. Happily the same will be true if
his school environment, through the ef-
forts and authority OF progressive school
board, ably assisted by vigilant and cul-
tured teacher, shall be made and kept at
tractive.n
ton Of every school yard should be re-
served for ornamentation, at the expense
of the district 1t should be graded, fer
tilted and sYmetrically laid out, and then
turned over to the school The pupils
should be made to understand it is theirs
The ornamentation of the yard by the
planting Of seeds and ornamental chrubs,
Mr. Baxter says, should be left to the pm
pills. This, he maintains, under proper ii-
rection, would be more a source of antuse
ment tn IN aimless play. This would relieve
the teacher Of much of the nervous strain
of dcipline.
1t is pointed olt taat parents should
interest themselves in the plan and vie
with one another in seeing who could do
most to help on the good work Seeds
Towering plants and shrubs should be sent
from the home, to be used in beautifying
the yards.

The stretch of quleksaud was first dis

marsh. The new roadway for entrance and
egress to and from this city was to have
been six miles long With the approval
of the late State Road Commissioner,
Henry | Budd, the contract for building
the new speedway was granted to Hess &

within hailing distance of Atlantic City,

RoADBED DISAPPEARED.
1t was after three immense dredges had
been pumping loose sand and silt, filling
in over half million cubic yards, that the
men noticed that the long piece of partially
built highway was slowly bnt surely
sinking into the meadows A few days ago
a readiustment Of the plan became neces-
sary, the contractors being unable to find
bottom in the great quagmire. The Attain
tic County Board of Freeholders awarded
TO the contractors bonus of SIC, GOO to en-
able them to widen the roadway, thinking
that by this means they won Il be able to
find firm foundation. Heavy pIanks and
still heavier bulkheads were placed in the
earth to prevent the sand from sinking.
To-day there is not sign of anything
having been placed for foundation purposes,
the sinking sand having completely swal-
lowed mp the planks and bulkhead Into
the unknown depth of quicksand over
], 1,000, 900 cubic yards of sand and dirt have
been poured, and still there's no bottom
in sight.
CONTRACTORS $4,000 REFUSED.
Just before his death Mr. Budd made the
emphatic announcement to the Atlantic
County Freeholders that no more State
money would be granted to this county
until the boulevard was finished This has
brought the matter to sensational cli-
max, ending at a meeting of the Board of
Freeholders last Saturday, when these Off
cials ignored the request of the contractors
for S100 900 to carry on the work, claiming
that this amount was due them.
Captain John Hess, head of the con-
tracting firm, said "We will finish that
road, even if we have to fill in to China.
