CITY HAS
MANY TRUENTS
Supt. ShuII Would Have Gen.
sLs Taken Every Year.

School census should be taken in
this city every year, according to
the statement made today by Supt.
s. E. ShuLl, of the local public
schools. to enable the school au-
thorities to decrease the vast num-
Der of truancy cases and revealed
umerou violations of the school
laws believed to exist in Perth Am
boy today. The law provides for
the payment of the cost of this CEN
sus taking from the school appro-
priation, but no measure has ever
been passed requiring such q numer-
alton yearly. Such a census has
never been taken In this city.
Supt. Shull informed an EVEN
ING NEWS reporter that 1t is i'm
possible under the existing condi-
tiosn, to complete an enrolment OF
the children of school age In Perth
Amboy, as scores of boys and girls
living in the thickly populated sec
lions of this fast growing city have
never been inside a school building
in their lives, but are growing up
to become uneducated men and
women with but sufficient qualitica-
lions to perform m~achine-like and
laboriuos tasks. Truant officer
John Meshrow rounds up" scores of
children during the school year, who
are playing truant willfully or in ig-
norance of the school and state
laws.
Still. the total of truancy cases
during the school months is very
high and the blame, the authorities
state, cannot be laid at any officers
door. 1t is the lack of knowledge
of the age, address, number OF pu-
pills in the schools district, etc,
which are now required to increase
the enrolment of Perth Amboy's
schools and better the average at
tendance at the same time. Pri-
vate as well as public schools chill
dren frequently change their ad-
dresses and are actually swallowed
I'D in other crowded districts Of the
city.
Children under the age of seven
teen years, who have not completed
the grammar grades, are required
to attend school under the school,
law. The state law conflicts with
this, in a measure, and requires that
all children must continue their
studies until they have successfully
passed the grammar grades or have
attained the age Of fourteen years.
Supt. Shull c%ontepds there are lots
of boys and girls in this city at
daily work despite the fact that they
are violators of n or both of these
statutes.

PETITION OUT
IN METUCHEN
Want Special Election on
Commission Government.
EpeciaL to the EKENING NEWS.

Metuchen, Aug. 24.-Progresslve
Republicans and a large majority of
the Democrats of this borough are
promoting the movement for Com
mission Form of Government in Me
tuchen and today petitions were
placed in circulation praying for a
special election to decide the cues
ton. Prominent among the lead
ers of this movement are the fol-
lowing: Charles A. Prickitt. former
chairman of the Republican County
Committee; Ralph B. Powell, Re
publican, former school commission
er; ThOrsIn TAFT, Democrat, ex-
councilman; Leslie E. Molineux.
Republican; Truman Z. Pierson, Re
publican.
Washington Wilson, mayor of Me-
tuchen, is said to be against the
measure, owing to his stand pat po-
lit1cal policies. Mayor Wilson is A
Democrat and breaks a tie in council
on all important measures. The
borough's politics are very much di-
vided and frequent council and
school wars have proved of much
amusement to other citizens of
M~iddlesex county in recent wears.
The prime movers of the new form
of government believe the borough
can economic and be made clean"
If a new form of government is in
stituted.
Metuchenites in favor Of the
measure do not look with anxiety
upon the fearful result of the spe-
cial election at New Brunswick,
when the petition for a change in
administration was defeated in a
landslide. In that city both party
machines worked against the mea-
sure, but local progressives are con
ddent the petitions now in circula-
zion will meet with ready endorse
ment and receive material assistance
en- all sides at the polls when the
dnal vote Is taken.

TAFT ADDRESS
TO VETERANS
Rochester Gathering Hears
Monroe Doctrine is Safe.

Rochester, n. Y, Aug. 24.-President
Taft, who reviewed the parade Of the
survivors of the Union army attend
ing the forty-ffth annual encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
spoke to the veterans. He announced
himself unalterably opposed to the
''nostrums'' Of reform which he de-
clared "demagogues" and theoretical
extremists have advanced for the
solution Of the problem Of concentrate
ed wealth In this country. In the end,
he said, the peace loving, straight
thinking people will be victorious, but
the fight itself may be the longer be-
cause it will be fought without blood
shed and the roar Of the battlefield.
The president had come to talk Of
peace and he held his address prln-
cipally to this topic, but the reflection
Of the immense struggle which had
conferred about the old men who
marched before him In the parade con-
trasted In his mind the political struggle
that has seethed about him for the last
few months and which was only tenn
porarlly relieved by the adjournment Of
congress and his thoughts turned ma
turally to this channel. He said that
when he was tempted to think of his
own troubles he had only to think of
the troubles Of Lincoln.
Mr.. Taft reverted to the main topic
OF his address. He reviewed the situa-
ton with regard to the arbitration
treaties and defended their terms from
the attacks OF the senate In much the
same way as he did in his addresses
Mt Mountain Lake, Md. and at Ocean
Grove, n. j. This time, however, he
went further into the details of the
senate's opposition to the treaties
specifically defending them from the
charge that they permit arbitration OIL
questions involving the Monroe doc.
trine; that they deny the right to eX,
clude foreign peoples from our shores,
which aroused opposition in California
over aa japanese question, and that
they open the way for reconsideration
of the validity Of the southern bonds
issued in the reconstruction days. He
said: These suggestions have nothing
IN them. The question Of the Monroe
policy is not u j~usticable one"
Thirty thousand members of the G..
A. r., representing every department In
the United States, marched for two
hours through two miles of streets
here lined with cheering crowds. 1t

veterans have participated IN the last
