"THE REVIEW" WEEKLY,
MAKES INITIAL BOW,

Albert A. Snowden; executive officer
of the Newark University Board, is the
editor of THE Review a weekly news
paper that made its first appearance in
Roselle today Mr. Snowden's leading
editorial is entitled. acorn or Squash
Seed" and is as follows
Minerva sprang full-hedged from
the brain of Jupiter" So runs the
legend. But since the "springtime" OF
the goddess of wisdom and of war no
mortal or immortal of record has
turned the trick of instantaneous self
development. Time is an essential ele-
ment in the building of character or of
institutions The sturdy oak requires
centuries of storm and sunshine for
the perfection of its peculiar qualities;
the garden squash natures within the
space of a few weeks, Yet, the acorn
holds within itself the embryo of
mighty oaken forests which shall en-
dure for ages; the squash seed is des-
tined to become merely squash. 1t is
true that the twig may be bent" and
the vine trained, but the changing of
inherent characteristics is difficult.
Divers are the applications of this lit
tie commentary-to education, to indi-
viduals, to business institutions, and
to young and hopeful newspapers.

GENERAL USE Of
ARM0R|ES HURTS
NATIONAL GUARD
Not Believed Col. Weaver's Rec.
0mmendation Has Any Bearing
on Local Bicycle Meets.

According to dispatches from Wash
ington, Colonel Weaver, chief of the
militia division of the war department.
has advised the department that the
use of militia armories for other than
drill purposes is impairing the efficiency
of the National Guard. Colonel
Weaver, who brought the matter to
the attention of the adjutant- general,
cited the laws of several States regu-
lating the use of armories. The mill,
tary codes of Massachusetts, Michigan,
New York and Washington are re-
ferred to as being properly constructed
in this respect
While the First Regiment Armory
has been used for other than militia
purposes, and was used for a six day
bicycle race this week. it is not be-

nothing of the kind going on there on
Wednesday nights. 1t was on Wednes-
day that the 1T: A. BIS held their en-
tertainment.
Each company is required by law to
drill thirty-six times year. This
week all drills. have been abandoned.
but to make up for those lost there
will be a regimental drill next week
and battalion drills the week following.
AS usual. too, the companies, instead
of discontinulng drills after Decora
ton Day, as is permitted, will con-
tinue until the regiment goes into camp,
which will bring the number up to
46 or As, instead of the SO required.
A project is now on foot for the city
to make an annual appropriation of
81, 900 a year for the use of the armory
for police drills or other purposes.
These drills will take place in the after
noon. however and will not interfere
with the militia work. Under a law
passed by the Legislature last year the
armory may also be used for contests
by the school children of the city.
These will also take place in the after
noon, except in a few cases, when they
can be held on Wednesday night.
