other counties in the state and the
entries signify that the enlarged
geographical scope of this class is
] e ng appreciated. A slight restric-
tion however has been placed on en-
tries in most of the local classes in
reference to the prizes already won
elsewhere. No horse that has won
more than four first prizes is eligible.
Local persons have felt that one or
two specially fine horses with a long
string OF blue ribbons, have added to
their glory in the local classes in form
er years as well as in the open to all
classes and have cast other interesting
entries lin the shade" so to speak.
A special saddle class (45) has been
arranged for residents of Morris coun-
ty and is primarily designedto encour-
age entries of the family saddle horse
which has not heretofore won ribbon.
AS usual there will be the regular
road four class in which three or four
entries are usually made. Our gallant
Police Officer Osborne usually leads
the way in this event and clears the
road of vehicles down Madison avenue
from the Club House to Kitchell
avenue corners. The interest all along
the road and especially as the coaches
return is intense.
Tho faruoarc will 1aauo on nnport,1f,
ity to show their teams and a first
prize of S25 has been offered for this
class. Only the horses count and any
ordinary farm wagon may be used.
In the fire department class steam
ers are not barred this year and a first
prize of $50 is offered for the best ex-
hibit of pair Of horses to fire apparatus.
Horses to count sixty per cent APP
pointments forty per cent. Entrance
limited to State of New Jersey. The
horses exhibited must be regularly
used by the company. Entrance free
The delivery wagon class for any
merchant carrying on business III Nor
riS county will have number of int r.
eSting entries from among our local
people and a condition imposed tn S
year is that the entire exhibit includ-
ing horse and harness must be the
bona fide property of the exhibitor.
The comm ttee will try and arrange
to have this class enter the ring on
Friday instead of Saturday for the
convenience of the exhibitors.
Glass II is a new class known as
sporting tandem. First, it is shown
as tandem, then tie leader is to be
Saddled in the ring and ridden over
six Jumps. Combined ownership OF
horses and vehicle will be allowed in
this class to encourage entries.
Glass I l is also new class entitled
''officers' chargers" and no military
accouterments or special training will
be requKed. This class open to all is
designed Tor such horses as are hardy
and suitable for long journeys or mill
tary work and of these there are many.
The committee hopes that all per-
sons owning horses or interested in
them will take some part in the Show.
Many people feel that a lot Of fixing
up" is necessary, in order to do this,
but such is not the case, and entries
are being made daily by persons who
continue to use their horses without
any inconvenience to themselves.
The Horse Show brings to Norris
town many people who would not
otherwise come and it seems to be the
plain duty of all it's citizens to encour-
age this undertaking in every way
possible.

If these children societles are not
already in the schools of Morristown,
will not all concede that there is a cry
ing need for them, and that now is the
very best time of all the year to begin
them while the children are fresh from
their vacations and full of vigor and
earnest purpose? Once established,
they should be renewed each year I'M
remittingly, for the price of a clean
town is eternal vigilance.
The Observer will feel he has not
lived in vain if he can induce the
teachers of Morristown to consider
these things,

fresco bric-a-brac, designed for the
adornment of the public highways,
rather than for practical use. Teach
the children that every piece of rub
hish found in the street is to be depos-
tied in these cans, and the thing is
done.

Are the schools of Morristown inter
ested in these matters? Are the child
rem here taught lessons in civic as well
as personal cleanliness Z? The Observer
doesn't know, and asks for informa-
tion; but judging from results he con-
cludes not, and may be pardoned for
suggesting that this important branch
of education should befinserted in the
curriculum of every public school in
the township. Children are so quickly
responsive to organized action of any
sort, and form such powerfor good
when led in the right direction. Juven-
lie character, too, is built up and trans
formed by the very effort to rectify
undesirable surroundings The prin-
cipal of one school in a very dirty
neighborhood in another town said
that his pupils we're so enthusiastic in
their efforts to see that no waste paper
or refuse of any sort was allowed to
lect in the schoolyard, or about the
school entrance, that they produced a
marked influence on the neighborhood,
and rescued it completely from its
slovenly habits.

The hospitals of Morristown form
one of it's browning excellencies. Es-
tablished and maintained by it's best
people, the amount of good accom-
plished by them can scarcely be over
estimated. A little more attention on
the peoples part to sanitation in the
public places and streets would save
these institutions enormously in the
matter of dollars and cents, and go far
toward preventing a repetition of last
winters experience with scarlet fever
and typhoid epidemics The "ounce
of prevention is such wise and eco
nomic precept.

This locality, too, is adjacent to the
residential portions of Mt. Kemble,
COLES, Wetmore and Macculloch ave-
nues, whose atmosphere cannot fail to
be contaminated. The most scrupu-
lous cleanliness in a given section can
not ward off contagious disease if its
germs Turk in plague spot few

THE OBSERVER.

Apropos Of the " danger spots :"
which are prejudicial to the health OF
this community, the Observer calls
attention to Market street, particu-
larry from Maple avenue to it's juno
tion with Bank street and beyond. A
stream Of sewage has been flowing in
the cutters here, unmoIested, during
the entire summer, and is still pollut-
ing the place. At times this assumes
considerable volume with something OF
current Again it is but thread OF
filth oozing its Shiny length along.
Still again it resolves itself into little
Stagnant pools reeking with bacteria,
and breeding insects innumerable as
sist in their dissemination. At all times
it is pestilential menace left to de-
Velop and expand luxuriantly.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1908-09-22

School children should be induced to
form leagues for this purpose, and it is
believed that such organizations
should receive recognition and encour-
agement from the city government.
One such league, composed of one hun
dred children from twelve to fifteen
years of age, in The stock yards district
of Chicago; under a leader who saw
that the children's Investigations and
complaints were promptly attended to
by the city hall officials, transformed
in one season that locality from filthy
alleys, broken sidewalks, green Shiny
cutters to state of order and cleanli-
ness, and the leader reports that the
effect on that neighborhood, great as
it was, appeared as nothing compared
with the result upon the children.
They were made to feel that they were
young citizens and responsible for ex-
listing conditions. 1t made small men
and women of them.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1908-09-22

Bank street is scarcely better. Al
though the gutter pollution is more
occasional here, the Observer sees con-
stantly strewn along this street col
lection of refuse in the shape of old
bones, rotting leaves. bits of decaying
fruits and vegetables, filthy rags and
and paper sufficient to poison the null
titude, and in small alley or court on
the east side there is a yeritable refuse
dump where the filth the street can
not contain is constantly accumulat-
ing, with no attempt at removal.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1908-09-22

Why may not all the public schools
in Morristown have these organiza-
lions, officered and managed by the
children ? A leader is necessarily APP
pointed, and some line Of action de-
cided upon. A printed list Of Don't =
like that used by the Young Peoples
Auxiliary of the Good Citizenship
League " of Honesdale, Pa, would
help the children to remember.
Don't throw anything into the
sire cts.
Don't throw away banana skins
give them to the horses, who like
them.
Don't injure the birds in their nests.
They destroy worms and insects, and
aid in making the town beautiful.
Don't forget that orange skin, wa
termelon rindS, peanut shells and
waste paper are easiest cared for when
thrown into the rubbish cans provided
for that purpose, &c.
This last don't is peculiarly APP
plicable to MorristOwn at the present
time, for, judging from the contin-
uaully increasing litter on its bust
ness streets, the ru bbish cans
are rot appreciated. The public evil

True, I'll ese are side streets, but they

ings, and are thickly settled with
places of a public character, among
which are groceries, vegetable stands
and meat markets. where, subject to
all this contamination, food is actually
sold The slums of large dirty city,
ruled and mismanaged by political
bosses, could scarcely furnish anything
more revolving. One of the worst feat
ureS of this particular spot is the fact
that large numbers of children flock
daily through these streets on their
way to the public school, breathing
into their young lungs this fetid air.
To the Observers mind, this state Of
affairs borders close upon criminality.
