ROAD REPAIRS.

There is no convenient record OF the
number of miles of roads or of paved
streets in New Jersey. but there is u
record showing exactly the mileage of
roads which have been built with
State aid This record shows that
1,2S5 miles have been constructed
under the Road Act aud that the
State has contributed s.. 1888, 900 toward
the cost.
In the matter of maintenance there
seems to be lack of system and a
general disposition to allow roads to
become impossible before repairs are
undertaken, and in too many instan-
ces repairs have practically amounted
to reconstruction.
Every person familiar with roads
knows that constant attention is re-
quired to maintain them in good con-
dition. There should be such watch
m aintained that every depression that
could retain water would be detected
aud repaired. One man with team
and deposit of crushed stone could
keep road in repair Mt an expense
not exceeding one per cent. of its
cost
II the State intends To continue its
contributions to good roads, the law
should be so amended that the receipt
OF State money should also form
contractual relation by which the
municipalities would have to provide
for maintenance by keeping men and
teams on the road work. This would
save money i'll the end and would
keep the roads III n state Of efficiency.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The Hunterdon County Teachers
Institute. held in Pennington last
week. beginning on Wednesday and
ending on Friday, has been generally
voted success. The attendance was
full and the instruction was of high
order. The instructors were Prof.
W. s. Monroe. of the Montclair Nor
mai School; Prof. Robert G. Leavitt,
of the Trenton Normal; Prof. John G.
Stone, Montclair Normal; Miss Char
lotte Herckner, of Hackensack; Mr..
L. d. Sensor, of the State Depart
ment, and Hon. W. II. Morrow. even
ing lecturer, OF Belvidere.
Mr.. Monroe talked on two subjects,
Mental Fatigue, and First Steps in
Geography. The lessons of child
hood are, he thinks, made needlessly
fatiguing. No child of tender yenrs
should be compelled to sit still or pre-
tend to work for more than II few
minutes at II time. Frequent recesses
and other periods of recreation tend
to good physical condition and men.
tai alertness in the child.
Mr.. Leavitt spoke on The Teaching
of Public Health in the School Curl.
cnlum. While his four periods were
scheduled under somewhat different
heads, yet they all conferred about this
one subject. He gave some rather
startling figures concerning the pre-
valeuce of tuberculosis, in some form,
among the people of this country, and
showed the need of every possible
means of preventing contagion
He strongly condemned the common
drinking cup in the school, as we'll as
the indiscriminate use of pencils and
text books.
Mr.. Stone was the mathematician OF
the Institute As is necessarily the case
with Institute workers, his remarks
were large condemnatory of what is OF
was or perhaps might be. This per-
sistent tendency among instructors
sometimes makes US feel that one OF
two things is true, either that we, as
teachers, don't know anything, or
that they, as instructors, don't know
as much as they think they do But
Mr.. Stones methods are 80 simple
and natural that 1t is impossible to
listen to him without beginning To
say to ones self, 40 well, | guess we
deserve it all p"
Miss Heckner's subject was Mammal
Training, in which subject she was
ably seconded by Mr.. Sensor. Like
every other subject ever presented to
an audience, this is one of vital i'm
portance, the one to which we must
give attention, orwell, country will
just go to the dogs. Miss Heckner's
presentation of the subject, and her
exhibits Of work done by small child
rem were calculated to sweep away
opposition. Mr.. Scissors earnest APP
peal made us all feel that we should
like to go and do likewise.
Judge Morrow's lecture on Abraham
Lincoln, given in the Presbyterian
church, Wednesday evening. was far
removed from anything like n stereo-
typed discourse on hackneyed sub
ject. 1t gave evidence of labored re-
search and profound thought.
Among the pleasant side features Of
the Institute were the organ recital
given in the Presbyterian church ON
Thursday afternoon, by Prof. Lands,
and the soprano solos Irish Lullaby
and "Pansies," by Mrs. A. +. Foran.
