when he voted for the equalization
bill. The labor people are not UNI
mindful either, that under this equal
ization bill and the bill providing
for the county equalization boards.
there Is no real equalization. but only
a measure OF equalization, bearing
very much the same relation to the
real proposition that Jackson's free
antitoxin bill did to the real plan for

Unions With Fordyce.
What has been Fordyce's record.
on the other hand? Always a friend
of union labor. Where he was not
overwhelmingly convinced of the JUS
tice of organized labor's requests and
had honest doubt which was really
the best, the passage or defeat of a
measure, he always gave labor the
| benefit of the doubt. Col. Fordyce
was a supporter of the real free anti
toxin proposition, he voted for limit
ing franchises, he stood by the real
tax equalizers, he voted for the
plumbers examination and licensing
bill, which the unions advocated. La
Dor men who came to Trenton to ad-
vocate or to object to legislation al
ways found him accessible and will
ing to hear them. In fact, he made
such a record not only in advocating
laws which came close to and which
labor desired, but others of a wider
| application which labor recognized
as wise and desirable, that he was
voted the thanks of the New Bruins
wick federation particularly on the
ton of limited franchise, and Secre-
tary Charles CARING transmitted to
him knowledge of this action. Mr..
Carvings letter is not accessible, but
Mr.. F~ordyce's reply is, and at the
meeting of April 14th, 1905, it was
read, as follows:
Dayton, N. j., April G., 1905.
Charles CARING, Secretary Trades
and Labor Federation, rs Suydam
street, New Brunswick, N. ].
Dear Sir:=I am in receipt of your
favor of recent date, in reference to
granting of perpetual franchises, and
in reply would state that l am glad
your unions have taken so sound a
position on this great public question
and that our views agree. | believe
it is unnecessary for me to go into
this matter in any further detail, as
/ am sure you are well aware of the
position | took upon this subject dur
ing the last session of the legislature.

1t seems to me that it is gratifying
to see the interest which various bod
! les are taking in the important mat
tiers of legislation.
Yours very truly,

When the time approached for
making the assembly nominations,
the local federation was very desir-
Gus that the Republican party should
continue such a staunch friend at
Trenton. The following resolution,
expressive of it's desire and of attract
ing union support to the ticket, was
adopted.

We are officially informed that the
Security Insurance company, it Is true,
in common with almost every other in
surance company, has met with seri-
Gus loss from the unexampled confia-
grafton in San Francisco, yet the sur
plus of the company will substantially
meet this loss, leaving the half million
capital of the company unimpaired. OF
course the insurance reserve of over
100000 is not in the least affected
The directors of the company are
very confident and expect to go on with
the business of the company, and are
perfectly willing to guaranty against
any impairment Of capital, If such
should be found to exist. No policy
holder need worry himself in the slight
est degree.
It is only week since the fire, and
in the great rush of business but little
communication has been had with San
Francisco. The company however, has
complete maps and knows from the
published accounts the extent of the
burned area, and in making its esti-
mates includes all its policies in that
area, so the company feels safe, know
ing its losses cannot exceed a certain
sum. But no detailed statement of the
losses can now be made, nor can it be
told what is the amount of the loss.
The company only can know that it
cannot exceed a certain amount, and
on that basis its capital cannot be i'm

purpose of our colleges, but the impor-

been due to the pursuit of this object,
and that their failures have been due
to it's neglect.
Each of the two ends Of our educa-
tional system is characterized by def
niteness of purpose. The primary
school tries to teach the pupils the
things that all of us are going to need
for our own purposes as well as for
those Of the public. The different tech
nical schools undertake to teach pupils
who are preparing for all the different
calltngs the kinds Of things which they
individually are going to need in their
several pursuits. But the part of our

ends--the intermediate period spent in
high school or college--is not charao-
terized by any such definiteness of aim.
Three different principles of arrange
ment have been suggested, but none of
them has proved satisfactory.
The first Of these principles was ex-
emplifled in the old-fashioned curricu-
lum or fixed course of study which
prevailed during the early part of the
last century. The studies of this course
were arranged, not for their apparent
utility to the student, but for their sup
posed value as means of mental disci-
pline. About 1870 the fixed curriculum
began to give way to an elective sys-
