Railroad
BULLETIN
THE EASE OF TRAVEL TO-DAY
BULLE TIN

1t has Just turned a century since the first boat was pro-
PEELED by steam. There was not a complete locomotive in
existence then nor a mile of railroad track. But the pendulum
tons. The railroad, the telegraph, and the telephone have
revolulonlzed the commerce and the industry of the world and
have made neighbors of remote people.
First of all in this work of upbuilding, expansion, and
development comes the railroad. 1t is the medium of
exchange, the agency of transfer, and wherever it has gone
prosperity has followed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has built thousands of miles
of track and equipped it with the best rolling stock, 1t has
constructed or absorbed branch lines and consolidated them
with its main stem, thus bringing industrial and manufac-
turing interests in direct touch with all the centres of trade
and afording the people the facilities of travel in all directions
Travel is no longer a dread, it is a pleasure. Comfortable
cars by day or night drawn by the best type of locomotives
over a roadbed maintained at the highest degree of excellence,
eliminate as far as possible the annoyances of travel and
make it recreative rather than burdensome. Tickets are sold
at the lowest rates consistent with good management and
under conditions most accommodating to the passenger;
The schedules of the trains are designed to meet the wishes
and requirements of the greatest number of travellers, and the
equipment, both as to vehicles and employees, is kept at the
highest state of efficiency.
1t IS the object of the management to encourage travel
by making it easy. Interchange is the life of the social
system. Travel is a tonic to the tired-the lens of observa-
ton to all
The Pennsylvania Railroad sells tickets good for a mile
as well as for a trip around the world. 1t will plan a trip for
you or provide the tickets for one of your selection.
1t is a fine thing to have a great transportatioa agency
like Pennsylvania Railroad at your command.

Agriculture to Be Taught in Public
Schools

Agriculture, the first industry follow
! ed and the source Of all wealth and
food to maintain life is the last subject
to be taught in the public schools. All
education has been away from the farm
but the Legislature three years ago
passed a law requiring the Trustees of
the State Agriculture College to estab-
fish a short course for the practical ed
ucation of student in both general and
specific lines of farming. The Legisla-
ture appropriated $24, 600 that year and
$4,000 last year.
Now the State Board of education
has decided that an outline of study in
elementary agriculture must be taken
up by pupils in the public schools.
Professor j. A. Wentzell, County Super
iutendent, has outlined atwO-ye year course
in agriculture and notified public school
teachers that they must prepare them
selves to teach this branch in the schools
IN Salem county.
The course includes a study in corn
and other grains, with seed testing,
plants, insects, pastures, pruning and
ssffaffttiHg, gardening, poultry and dairy
feeding, the horse, cow, etc., weather
observations, laboratory experiments
with soils, manure and spraying.

Railroads Paying Disputed Taxes

With no signs of the railroads carry
ing to the United States Supreme Court
the. decision of Court of Error and
Appeals, affirming the constitutionaiity
of the Perkins main stem tax law,
under which the railroad taxes mOunte
ed about 300 per cent, Comptroller j..
Willard Morgan is busy attending to
the work of sending the money that has
been paid by the railroads under the
court decision to the various taxing dis
tricts for the reduction of the state
school tax, which tax for the next year,
experts say, will not now amount to
more than l mill instead of the Is cents
it has been for several years past.
Cash paid by the railroad since the
Perkins decision is more than So, 500, 900
of the So, 1913, 1929 balance on account
of the tax of 1906, which balance had
been held in reserve pending the deci-
sion of the Court of Errors. The 1907
tax is payable during this year, and it
will be about the same figure.
Under the 1906 railroad taxes, now
received, the state comptroller will is
sue next week warrants to the various
counties as follows: Atlantic, S97, 253-
"a: Bergen, s97, 721.74; Burlington,

$21 ,824.03: Union, Sill, 1863. Is; War

Payment by the railroads indicates
an abandonment of any further attempt
to break the Perkins law, although the
time has not expired in which an appeal
could be taken to the United States Su.
preme Court.
The state comptroller has sent out
the following apportionment of school
moneys to the various counties, show
ing a substantial increase since the rail
road tax question has been settled, and
on which the predicted tax of but !
mill for state schsoa garposes is based.

Doubts have been expressed whether
Israel Putnam ever visited the building
In Greenwich which is now preserved
as a memorial by a local patriotic So
ciety, whether he actually used a razor
which was picked up near the scene of
his famous exploit and also whether In
descending the hill which now bears
his name he rode down a flight of
steps. One way to settle these vexing
questions would be to Danish "Old
Put" from American annals and be
done with him.

soX PUSHED IN FOURTH PLACE

Two glaring bungles, one by the
boss manager and the other by Billy
Sullivan, expert sharpshooter. wrought
the downfall yesterday of those Sox
in their second tilt with Boston, to
4. It was a rough jolt for the South
Siders, following an exhibition of fancy
finging by Frank Smith, who mixed
with Cy Morgan In one of the prettiest
hurting duels of the season. The troun-
cling put Chicago on the RATHER again
to fourth place, while Lajoie's Maps
moved to the third notch.
Judging from the pace set in their
first two contests here, the knights
of the red hosiery are out to make a
clean sweep of the series, and If sue
cessful in their aspirations the hos
tiles will leave town within touching
distance of the first division. Mcclure
has used two of His strongest cards
since alighting here, but the Pilgrims
have other twirlers of high degree,
while Jones has about exhausted his
stock of top-notchers. That is, the
available headliners like Smith and AL
trock, while White and Walsh are not
in trim to tackle the seaboard gang.
