STATE SYSTEM OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING E.

IT F industrial education in New Jersey shall become established
upon the high plane it ought to occupy in the educational sys-
TEN of the State, much credit will be due to Senator Prince, Of
Passaic, himself a trained educator. Senator Prince was head of
the commission appointed last year to examine into the subject.
Much has already been done in large school districts like Newark
TO introduce industrial training in the public schools. Newark is, in
fact, a weLadvanced pioneer in that respect. But school districts
generally are backward, and neither initiate nor initiate. 1t is for
the State to show the way and make possible the means for this
most wholesome change in its educational system. The great ma.
jority of the children turned out of the schools to begin the struggle
of life are adapted only for industrial occupations, a fact never
recognized by public educators until of late years. These children
SHOULD have such preliminary technical training as will fit them to
readily learn such trades as they may choose to take up. AS it is,
The child has everything TO learn for his future livelihood after he
quits the school. and if he + she goes wrong our educational system
cannot escape responsibility. The great educational need of the
country is not more higher education, more universities and col
leges, but more technical schools and a universal system of indus
trial education in the common schools.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t cost me thirty cents to get a doctor
by telephone. The exceptionally high
rate of five cents a telephone call had
never seemed to me to be so %exorbitant,
but on thinking over the matter l came
to the conclusion that the nickels were
too lightly disposed of by the public,
In seeking my doctor friend, with whom
1 wanted to talk, 1 called up his house,
found him absent, but was given five
numbers, which l called up in success
sion, and he was at none of them. Each
time l called a new number the genial
drugstore clerk noted it and without
any result whatever of satisfaction to
myself l was out thirty cents.
Five cents will buy a telephone call,
giving you the services of an operator
for a few seconds, and the use of a
wire. The same amount win give you
the use for many minutes of a whole
street car on rails, two men who oper-
ate it, tracks which have been laid at
a great expense, and a trolley wire
which is more expensive than that
used by. the telephone. The service
rendered for five cents by the telephone
company does not seem to be adequate
for the charge when compared with
that Of the street railway, p~ostofice
or any other corporation serving the
public. NICKEL SAVER.

criticism of the New Workers being
that they use their clubs too freely.
Only yesterday a brutal crime was
committed in this city-a young child

A half-hour after the body was dis
covered the murderer was in custody
and proofs of his crime positively
found by detectives. Several crimes
of the same order have been recently
committed in Manhattan and the po-

the perpetrators.

AN AN7Y-pLNCHoT INTRIGUE EXPOSED.

TT n his address before the National Arts Club in New York last
night Clifford Pinchot for the first time revealed the official
trick by which it was made to appear that the appropriation
for the forestry service had been unlawfuny used. He explains the
educational work done in the service for the promotion of its
efficiency and the better protection of the national forests, shows
that work was clearly within the law, and tells how the solicitor of
the department of agriculture, who was acting forester for three
days, secretly misrepresented the matter to the comptroller and
procured an adverse decision, with the result that the valuable
educational work was sacrificed. And all for the sake of putting
a reflection upon the administration of Mr.. Pinchot as chief
forester. This intrigue was inspired, and it had its motive, and
that was to discredit and get rid of the man who stood in the way
of the predatory interests.

SITE o A HUDSON COUNTY HOSPITAL.

t is probable that the authorities of Hudson county in planning
II for a new county hospital for the insane have in view a pos
sible location in Bergen county, where admirable sites can
be found for such an institution. Bergen has plenty of land, cover
ing 244a square miles, and nearly all upland, while Hudsons area
is only 601 square miles, of which less than sixteen square miles
is upland. The two counties are contiguous. There is hardly room
in Hudson, if Snake Hill is abandoned, for a large hospital for the
insane, which needs to be in the open country, on an elevated site,
and have hundreds of acres of land for outdoor employment and
exercise. The suggestion that the Hudson Board of Freeholders
contemplate the location of a hospital in Essex county is hardly
reasonable. The site would be too remote. Bergen county is
naarer, and it presents better opportunities for the purpose.

A SOUTH JERSEY IMMIGRANT STATION.

NJ LOUCESTER, in Camden county, has finally been selected
by the Federal government for a site for the proposed new
immigration station, the fine property of William j. Thomp-
son there to be purchased for the purpose. The decision is a fortu-
nate one for Gloucester, and also for Philadelphia, in which city
the station would be a public nuisance. In the case of Gloucester
there is plenty of room, the site is convenient of access and the
immigrants will be better kept and cared for than in Philadelphia.
The station will be a benefit to the town and county in many sub.
stantial ways. 1t is somewhat singular that the two great gates
for immigration in the United States should be located o New
Jersey soil.

A RACE FOR THE SOUTH POLE.

6Ta HE proposal by Commander Peary that the Peary Arctic Club
and the National Geographic Society collaborate in fitting
out an expedition to explore the Antarctic regions and
reach the South Pole, if possible, having been accepted by the
society, the necessary funds will undoubtedly be raised. The eX-
petition will have the use of the Arctic ship Roosevelt and of all
of Pearys valuable equipment, and it will start for the Antarctic
pole about the time the British expedition does, the two exploring
parties making their base about fifteen hundred miles apart. This
rivalry of the two Engishspeaking nations does honor to both,
and if the English expedition reaches the goal first or accomplishes
the feat alone there will be no dearth of American applause.

A BLANKET CHARTER FOR MUNICIPALITIES.

TT F the mayors of the State can agree on February Is on
some broad plan of municipal home rule to include the
right of regulation in excise matters, which is the crux of the
whole question, the Legislature may pluck up the courage to
enact a bill. Within reasonable limitations each municipality
should be left to work out it's own salvation in local government.
Nearly all the trouble that has been witnessed in past years in the
affairs of the large cities was caused by legislative interference or
neglect to repeal or modify obnoxious laws. The very excesses
charged against cities have been due to the character of State laws.
Let the Legislature adopt a blanket charter for cities and towns,
under which they can exercise those powers that naturally and
rightfully belong to them, and there will be vastly better municipal
government in New Jersey, as well as greatly improved public
morals.

LOOK FUNNY.

Shortly after Zero hustled into
New York the other day the keeper
of the Bronx Zoo vas amazed to
find two of the polar bears almost
frozen. He hurried them into n
of the houses, where they hung
trembling, with chattering teeth,
over the steam pipes.
Now they are wondering at
the zoo whether these bears
ever saw the polar regions. 1t
is useless to ask them for their
records and proofs, of course. but
an effort will be made to see If
their coats are naturally white or
bleached.
