have spoken at length on the condi-
ton of English at present in our
schools.
My subject primarily is English in
the H. S., and | must hasten to that
point. 1t is not the purpose here to
go into detail concerning the work
done in each of the four years, nor
is it the purpose to give those of you
who are Interested in the same work,
instruction, but it is my aim to set
forth in an informal way few facts
or thoughts, acquired thru a sufficient
experience of H. S. work in this de-
partment, facts which may be benefi-
cial in some form or other. The sub
ject resolves itself into three divisions,
1st "a study of the classics to which in
my course, two periods of the week
quires two periods and 3rd, compost
ton, oral and written for which the
Friday period is given. Perhaps the
classics cause the teacher the most
anxiety; for indeed it is no small re-
Sponsibility to see that the child
grasps the full meaning and intent of
the book read. Many of those in our
ranks, however tighten their work, as
tuCy Sdy. Aucy W 1t III lulS way,
For each of the classics read they sup
ply themselves with booklet of ques-
tions. That the child may answer
these questions correctly is the only
and vital concern of the teacher. In
other words he is completely wrapped
UP in the little booklet. A class in
Macbeth" thru just such means miss
ed the governing principle of the
tragedy. The question attracted them
and they forgot to note the Develop
ment of an idea in the mind of the
chief actor. That class overlooked
the finer elements of the poetry and
could not quote a single passage from
the play. How much enjoyment can
be gotten from study of that kind :?
1t is absolutely necessary, believe,
that most Of the assigned works be
read in the class, especially is this
true of poetry, by which means only
can the full effect of the meter be OBJ
tanned. It is also of vital Importance
that the pupil understands what he
has just read, for which purpose fre-

A statement of public school fl
nances will show that Woodbury. High
School would be self-supporting even
tho salaries sufficient to secure the
best talent in the State were paid the
instructors. That being the case it
seems to US the Board of Education
should be encouraged to put such in
structors in every course, to the end
that pupils who belong here and those
who voluntarily come to this school
may have advantages equal to those
procurable anywhere.
Educational conditions are to be
vastly improved in Woodbury. next
year by reason of the new building and
the facilities it will afford, but their
full value will be lost unless wise
and liberal policy is pursued in the
employment of instructors.

This is the way the Newark News
describes Senator Avis turn-down by
Senator Gaunt:
After the (2rimary Election) bill
had been killed the Governor plainly
showed his disgust. He began by send
ing for the majority Senators to dis
cuss it and another matter. The lat
ter concerned the appointment of
former Senator John Boyd Avis, of
Gloucester, for State railroad COM
missioner. Once the Senators heard
Avis was to be chosen they caucused
and afterward sent word to the Exc
cutive they would not confirm the Sc
lection, because Senator Gaunt, from
Avis county, objected. The Governor
sent for them, to scold them for this,
and at the same time he told them of
the defeat of the county committee"
bill, and suggested they had broken
conference faith" with him.

More than one-half the Republicans
of this county are mad clear through
at Senator Gaunt's refusal to give his
consent to the appointment of ex-
Senator Avis to the position of Rail-
road Commissioner, offered him by
Governor Fort. The turn-down of
Hon. d. o. Watkins was bad enough,
but the party would have become re-
conciled to that. because that gentle
man had held the Office for two terms,
and was quite willing to surrender
and give all his time to his own busi-
ness, but that Senator Gaunt should
go out Of his way and furiously OPP
nose the appointment of his predeces-
sor to an important State Office, they
claim is treachery to the party, be-
