How MANY Would Attend.

In order to determine what additiona
provision for the education of boy
and girls of fourteen and over, whon
the regular school course does no
seem to fit, may be necessary, prin
cipals of schools have been requested
to give the committee on instruction
and educational supplies certain figure
relative to the pupils in their schools
The circular letter, which follows. Il
self-explanatory:
To Principals:
The committee on instruction and
educational supplies desires infor-
nation as to the following mat
ters, in order to determine what
additional provisions, if any, should
be made for over age boys and girls
in the elementary schools.
The question is that of providing
one or more elementary Industrial
schools in different parts of the
city for boys and girls over four
teen years Of age whom the pres
ent course of study does not seem
to fit. The course of study in h
school that is under consideration
would require so to rs per cent. of
the time to be given to drawing
and shop work for boys; and, for
girls, sewing, cooking, and other
vocational pursuits. Pupils fourteen
years of age would be eligible from
any grammar grade upon request
of parent and recommendation of

FORT REVIEWS FIGHT FOR
STATE PURCHASING BOARD.
Wants Institutions Supplies
Bought Through Bids.

In pursuance of the idea which he
attempted to have adopted by the
Legislature last winter, that OF estap-
shing a State board of control for
purchasing supplies for
supported either wholly or in part by
the State, Governor Fort will Inspect
every institution of the class with q
view to getting information as to how
they are managed. He will begin his
trip October IS, and expects to visit
each institution before January l. His
recommendations will be embodied in
his annual message to the Legislature.
The first institution on he list Is the
State Village for E~pileptics.
The plan, is one the Governor has
had in mind for some time. He holds
that if his suggestion is adopted and
the entire work is placed in the hands
of a few men, it can be handled more
easily and more economically, while a
better quality of supplies would -be
obtained. The board would go into the
open market and purchase by bid,
fayoring New Jersey dealers as far as
| possible, but getting the lowest prices
on everything.
Governor Fort believes that at least
s10O, 900 might be saved to the State
| through this PLAN When discussing the
project, the Governor told how he had
cut down the cost Of work done around
the State House by 60 per cent. by
awarding it through bids. AS head OF
the State House Commission, the Gov
ernor has control of the purchasing OF
supplies for the State House.
The Governor would not say posi-
lively that he would recommend in his
message that a board of the kind be
established, but Judging from his atti-
tude last winter he will make every
effort to have such a law enacted.

DR.. ROSE UPHOLDS ELIOT'S
RELIGION OF THE FUTURE.
Says Utterance Has Set Whole
World Thinking.

The Rev. DR.. Henry r. Rose, of the
Church of the Redeemer, spoke on
president Eliot's Religion of the
Future" yesterday morning, and vigor-
ously supported the ex-Harvard man in
his statements. 1.-The lecture was deliv-
cred before fifty or more clergymen of
various denominations, who were at
tending the Harvard Summer School of
Theology" said DR.. Rase, in opening,
and is in all respects the greatest ut
tterance of the twentieth century. DR.,
Eliot's statements have done more to
set the religious world thinking than
anything said by a public man in d
hundred years.
Tine future religion will not dwell on
the divine justice, because man can
not know anything about the Justice of
the Almighty. He better pay more at
tention to finding out what human JUS
tice ought to be. Look at our jails, our
prisons, our court procedure. See how
we treat the insane, the alcoholic, the
criminal, the juvenile offender. What
justice are we melting out? All the tor
lures of religion have been done in the
name of divine justice. The old re-
ligion has failed to make this world
ideal. You canno make a cruel the
ology produce merciful and noble men,
THE coming man will be ready to
grow in his religious ideas as he is In
his scientific, philosophic, economic and
business ideas. Religion is not a fixed
but a fluent thing. No creed contains
all the truth. No church is infallible
No book is a final and full revelation
The only authority in religion is the
authority of truth. If a doctrine doe
not satisfy the reason and coincide
with experience 1t will not be accepted
Why should it? The final test of truth
is it's agreement with reason and ex'
perienee."
