ASKS AID OF PRESS

Governor Fort made "a personal appeal
to the newspaper men of New Jersey
who accepted his invitation to luncheon
at the State camp today 10 get the vote
out for the proposed Constitutional
amendments to be passed on at ths
September special election The Gov
ernors address gave the luncheon an
air, of formality wholly lacking in past
functions.
Luncheon was served in a big tent.
The Fifth Regiments excellent band
furnished music. The review of the
troops late in the afternoon concludes
the formalities
Mayor William Cardwell. City Clerk
Lincoln E. Rowley and other East Or
ange city officials were of the Gov
ernor's personal guests today. State
Treasurer Daniel S. Voorhees,, Speaker
John d. Prince, of the House; Colonel
George P. Olcott of the State Board of
Health. and the National Guard officers
here partook of the luncheon.
In his talk the Governor said:
''It is great pleasure to meet the
newspaper representatives of the State
in this social way and to forget for the
time the caustic or friendly articles
which have been written by them. No
public official who does his duty will
have anything to fear from the press
of New Jersey.
AS population increases the news
paper is to become more and more
necessary to the public life and busi-
ness interests. 1t is the only sure way
of reaehings the people. If a public
man of today gets a fair sreport of
what he says in the news columns of
the press he cannot complain"
For four months said Governor
Fort, the people have been witness
ting an exhibition at Washington of a.
party trying to enact a tariff bill in
fiat violation Of its pledges to the peo-
pie. If the. final result shall be law
Of that kind the next election will see

You have heard OF the Berry School
near Rome, non-sectarian, industrial
school for country boys, a boarding
school without a servant, and also
without vacations. Can you imagine
schoolboys doing all the house work
for themselves, all the farming, clear
ing land, and building dormitories
without all hired help? Each student
has two hours every day to devote to
manual labor, and all the rest of the
day to study.
There are now 159 students at this
school, which is only twelve years old,
and which had its beginning as Sun
day-school in a deserted log cabin in
the woods.
Miss Berry used to go to that little
cabin on Sundays and read and talk
to the children living in the neighbor-
hood, and they called her the Sun.

opened with five students and the .es-
