MANY Live Abroad.

Thousands of persons who draw pen
sons from this government never spend
Il penny of it here. They live abroad.
Congress has never attempted to require
pensioners to pass their remaining days
at home, although the amount paid to
those residing in foreign lands aggre-
gates nearly $1,OOO,OO0 a year. The

SquIres to Get Better Pay.

The Prosecutors of the Pleas of this State,
at an annual meeting held in Trenton on
Tuesday week, decided to advocate and do
something towards remedying two impor-
tant matters. One is to revise and make
better the present grand jury system, and
the other is to better regulate the fees of
Justices of the Peace. 1t was claimed that
the fees OF Justice of the Peace should be
increased SO that Squires will give up the
pracsice of holding prisoners for court in
order TO fatten their fees, as has been the
common custom. Tt was held that the
compensation should be sufficient to induce
them to try the cases themselves. The
Prosecutors intend to present bills in the
legislature this winter looking to the cor
rection OF these abuses.

A Call for Nurses.

The residents of this part of the State
will be interested IN the call for nurses
issued by one OF the largest and most fa-
nous schools for nurses 10 the world-the
Philadelphia School for Nurses, 22l9 Chest
nut Street, Philadelphia, Pa
Good, honest, ambitious American giils
whether rich or poor, cannot do better than
to take up the finest profession now open
to women-trained nursing The trained
nurse occupies an unique position among
business women Her salary is approached
by that of very few of her sister workers in
other lines of effort, she independents
and receives great consideration and re-
spect.
The profession Of nursing is so far from
being overcrowded, that it is an important
question among physicians how the deici-
ENJOY may be made up, since no school is Of
sufficient capacity to meet the need. The
nearest approach to solution has been
found by the Philadelphia School for
Nurses A generous endowment enables
the school to enlarge its Glasses very greatly
and TO offer large number Of free scholar
ships to suitable applicants Is is now de-
sired to reach the right class Of young wo-
men in small towns and country districts,
that its classes for she coming year may be
recruited from them.
Covoral 1-nlroH r%r
ing instruction, a large class was graduated
in June and another in December. These
young women are Immediately employed,
the demand for their services far exceeding
the supply. There are graduates in nearly
every State of the Union, and in all civil
ized countries there are number Of repre-
sentatives. In every mission field, as well
as in their home communities, they are
winning warm place in the hearts of the
people by earnest and unseffish service to
their fellow beings Important positions
are also held by them in large institutions
with the greatest sucoess. One graduate
expressed the feeling of many when she
said: Il shall never cease to be grateful to
the school for the greatest blessings that
have come into nav life.
Classes sre now forming in several of the
schools and applications should be made
promptly in order to secure early admit
tance. Full information will be sent upon
request.

Taxes All Paid.

Mr. Brooks Huff, Collector OF Washing
ton township, has the distinction of having
collected all the taxes levied in that town
ship for the year 1907. If there is another
Collector in the county, or the State for
that matter, who can make such report
to the governing body of his municipality
as Mr.. Hurff has made to the Township
Committee of Washington, be has not been
heard from We do not suppose Mr.. Hurff
has his modus aperandi copyrighted, SO any
municipalities in the State that are inter-
ested might get Mr.. Hurff's formula for
collecting.

A Letter from Logan.

To the GLOUCESTER COUNTY DEMOCRAT
The Township Committee of Logan
Township are highly commended for their
prompt action taken in trying to protect the
old and young from the danger resulting
from fire while oongregated in the Town
Hail. They have wisely arranged that the
doors entering the building shall open out,
and to the entrance to the hall room swing
ing doors have been placed, and an addi-
tional stairway has been built at the back
part of hall, giving ample opportunity to
leave the building in case of fire. Too
much praise cannot be accorded to the COM
mittee, and their action will meet with the
approval of every man. woman and child
in the township.
Now, my dear friends, there is one thing
to do, which will be appreciated by the en-
tire community, and future generations
will rise up and call you blessed. That
is, let the people assemble in mass meet
ing and by their vote request and instruct

town hall is located is not, and never has
been, the proper place, and is condemned

fore closing my letter, wish to say that
Logan township has a Board of Education
composed Of excellent men, men who have
at heart the welfare of every school in the
township, and their purpose is to advance
in education-and place Logan township
up to the highest standard am happy to
say that there is not narrow minded man
in the Board, which fact the people should
be proud of, aud anything you have to say
let it be words of encouragement.
On Saturday evening last the Board
elected Prof. Joseph r. Given as Supervis-
ing Principal over all the schools in the
township Mr.. Given is one of the best
teachers in the county. If you will visit
his school you will be convinced of the
fact. The schools in the township have
never been in such flourishing condition
as now, and it is the aim of the Board to
not allow a step backward, but to steadily
advance. The county has in the person of
Prof Steelman valuable school superin-
tendant. His heart is in the work, and be
will do good service. Advise with him and
good results will follow. NJ
