Here and there were, of course, special local conditions or
influences. For instance, the increased Democratic vote in Mer-
Ger was largely a a compliment to Mr.. Katzenoach, whom so
many of the voters there have known and liked since his boy
hood. And the Amboy bridge controversy undoubtedly helped
to cut down the Republican vote in Middlesex County. So. too,
the fight over the Board of Freeholders in Passaic County caused
scratching and trading.

In essential particulars, the . primary

seems to follow the path marked out by
legislation in other States on the same
gubject. New Jersey has taken another
important step by conceding to the people
of the State the right to express a choice
for United States Senator, also following
in this particular the principle and the
method which have found acceptance in
other American States.
The passage of a primary law by the
Legislature of New Jersey, and the ap-
prevail of the law by the Governor, may be
accepted as additional proof of the wide
spread demand for legislation of this sort.
Legislation of this kind has not passed the
experimental stage in American States. 1t
may De assumed thai no State has yet per-
fected n system of nominating officers
N this way. But a majority OF the States
have accepted the primary principle, and,
by easy stages, are working out a just and
efficient system.
Hence, while there may be found some
Objectionable features In the New Jersey
law. the situation in that State is not
essentially different from the situation in
other States. where such laws have been
enacted. No State has yet been able to
pass a primary law which did not require

The marching of 1900 members of the

more than that, they bepd the mind down

TO BUILD STEAMER FOR
PETROLEUM COMPANY
Specially Constructed Boat Ordered
from Belfast Firm for Use on
the Shallow Rivers In
Mexico

In a cablegram from Belfast, Ireland
received yesterday by e. l.. Doneny'
president of the Mexican Petroleum COM
pany. it was stated that Herbert q.
wiley had ordered built freight and
passenger steamer for use on the rivers
IN the Hausteca district, where the
company's oil fields are located.
Mr.. Wiley, who is chief engineer Oh the
Mexican Petroleum company, has peeh
abroad for several weeks. He has been
seeking a steamer suitable to the shal-
low waters of the rivers, and the tact
that he has ordered one built is taken
to mean that he could find none to meet
the requirements.
The new boat will be eighty feet long,
twenty feet beam and nine feet deep
She will draw only three or four feet:
The cost of the craft when complete Will
be $40 1000. No details of her power, nor
the type of engines has yet been re-
ceiyed. It is probable that she will be
built in such a manner that she can be
taken apart and shipped to Mexico, as
her light draught would make it diff
cult to bring her under her own steam.

TO ADD UNGRADED
GROUPS TO SCHOOLS
INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION AIM OF
SUPERINTENDENT
Local School Director Thinks Plan
Has Passed Experimental Stage
and Will Increase Facill-
ties for Pupils

Several new ungraded classes or
groups are to be added to those already
established in the Los Angeles schools.
This idea which was first instituted in
the city schools about five years ago. is
known as the individual instruction
method, and seeks to recognize the needs
of the pupil, rather than to require him to
make certain grades in all lines.
Beginning as an experiment, only three
groups were organized. These divisions
of the pupils are denominated as groups
rather than classes, for the latter inti-
mates the old system of making grades
in classes. Since 1t was first introduced
into the Los Angeles schools, the method
has grown in favor with teachers and
pupils alike, and is likely to outgroW
the older method of segregating in classes.
Regarding the ungraded groups In the
city schools, Assistant Superintendent M.
C. Bettinger said yesterday:
1.-THE public is not generally acquainted
with the new system, and many who have
heard it casually mentioned have miscon~
strued the idea.
"The first purpose Of the ungraded
groups is to correct the evils of grading
Most prominent of the Objectionable fea-
lures In the old method, is the require
ment of making passing grades in certain
lines, whether the pupil is adapted for it
or not.
For instance, if a child is deficient
in geography, as many are, his not get
ting a passing average would prevent
his being promoted even If he were eff
ficient in all of the other lines. Now
with the ungraded method pupil may be
we'll UP in several studies, and If so, he
is regularly advanced in those lines, and
helped along in the lines which are hard
to him.
president Wheeler of the University Of
California, in an address to the N. p. A.
in June, declared we must smash the
grades If we would make the schools
serve the state as they should. How
ever, we are trying to correct the defects
of the graded system by means of the
ungraded groups, rather than to smash
the grades.
Persons without children, those whose
children have always had smooth sailing
in the public schools, and those who care
more for financial considerations than
anything else, are generally champions
of the older or uniform method Of arriv-
ing at the grades.
But on the other hand, those parents
whose children have had less fortunate
experience for some reason or other, are
very enthusiastic over the new method
ANY pupil who is working at disad-
vantage in the graded class is eligible
to the ungraded rooms. There are FIVE
classes from which the register of the
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1907-08-30

ungraded rooms are recruited, that stand
out in prominence. The big boy or girl
who has fallen below the grade of his
class through much travelling or sickness
is not compelled to sit in class of little
children, but is put with a group of pupils
nearer his own age.
"Then there are frail children who can't
keep up with their studies, the bright
pupil for whom the grades do not furnish
work enough, and the pupil who is weak
in one or two studies. These, with the
boy or girl who suffers from some tenn
permental or physical deformity, make up
the five divisions most benefited by the
new method
by withdrawing these five types from
the graded rooms, we not only do them
great good, but also those in the grades,
and the other pupils in the ungraded
groups"
The idea is said to have been origin
ated in the New York city schools
