ANSWER TO
TAXPAYER"
BY THE CITY SCHOOL BOARD
Clear Statement I'm Reference to
Selection of Teachers.

Lutof lHE CHRONICLE:
In last weeks issue of the Citi-
zen appeared an article signed
taxpayer" in which the City
School Board is taken TO task for
retiring" Professor Hardin and
his "noble wife" as teachers in the
Benton Seminary. Inasmuch as
the article is misleading and does
not state facts, we, as members Of
said school board, can not pass this
article by unnoticed, and in order
that the citizens of Camden NAV
know the facts, we desire space in
your paper that all who desire to
know the truth may do so, and not
have to take the statement of some
one who has not the moral courage
to sign his or her name, which, in
all fairness, both the board and
the people have Il right to know.
Therefore, in order that the peo-
pie may know what has been done
by the board, we desire to make
the following statement:
At a meeting Of the board res
0lution was introduced, and after q
full discussion was adopted by the
board by vote of 5 to /, that no
teachers be employed who propos-
ed to devote a part of their time to
any other occupation or employ
ment, and that teachers employed
by this board for Benton Seminary
be required to devote their entire
time to the school to the exclusion
of all other employment.
The reasons for this is apparent,
in that the school has suffered in
the past by employing teachers who
had other employment, which nat
urally took them from the school,
more or less, thereby demoralizing
the routine of the work; and mas
much as this board proposes to pay
good salary, we felt it our duty to
the taxpayers and the children that
we was entitled to the entire time
of all teachers.
It is fact, and is well known to
anyone having any knowledge of
teaching, that unless teacher is in
touch with every detail of school
work they can not hope to succeed.
Therefore, if Professor Hardin was
interested in Camden school, as is
claimed by "Taxpayer," why not be
willing to give the school his time
and best efforts as a teacher? Does
he propose to do this? If he should
teach school and hold the position
of County Superintendent, can be
give his attention to both positions
and at the same time give his en-
ployers valued received for his
salary?
Even Taxpayer" knows that it
is an imposition upon the school
and the people of Benton County
for him to hold both positions at
the same time. The people are
now paying Professor Hardin the
handsome sum of 5000 per year
salary as County Superintendent,
and it is presumed that he will! give
the county full value for the salary
paid him; consequently, be could
not give our school the attention
we would want a teacher to give it.
This is mentioned to show the in
Justice of employing a teacher who
has other employment.
We assume that Taxpayer"
knew what he was talking about.
Why, then, did he not tell the
whole truth in his elaborate article,
that neither Professor Hardin or
his wife had made application to
the board for place as t. achers,
and that if they had retired, they

board, Professor Hardin intimated
that under certain conditions he
would accept q place in the faculty
of Benton Seminary.
If Mr.. Taxpayer" is SO interest
ed in the school in Camden--as he
undertakes to make itappear-wby
is he trying to discredit the school
by making statements that are not
born out by facts? Why take the
board to task for trying to secure
better service from teachers en-
ployed? Is it right that this board
employ teachers who have other
duties, and by that act say to them,
we are going to give you good sal
ary; we know that the school and
ita patrons are entitled to your en-
tire time and best efforts, but in
order that you may secure the adj
ditional 5000 salary we are willing
that you neglect your duties as our
teachers? Whose interest are We
contending for, and whose interest
is Professor Hardin looking after
in this particular instance?
And now Mr.. "Taxpayer' are
you in favor of your school here,
that is evidently so near and dear
to your heart, being neglected in
order that the pecuniary interests
Of Professor Hardin may be taken
care of? If you, Mr.. "Taxpayer,'
are in earnest, and want good
schools here, why do you resort to
such tactics?
You say in your article that pol
itics had something to do with it..
Surely you do not me an to say that?
There is the whol esituation-poli-
tics is at the bottom of your unfair
attack, 1t was politics that in
spired your article, and it is the
opinion of this board that you are
not interested in the school, but
are trying to make political capital
out Of the school here, and after
reading your attack, we are more
convinced than ever that We were
right, and that we were acting for
the best interests Of the school and
those who support it with their
means.
"Taxpayer" mentions in his ar
ticle of the church being forced
into the fight. What church does
he mean? There are some four
denominations or church organiza.
tions in Camden. Why not be
definite. and say what particular
church? We understand that the
school is nonsectarian aud is for
the benefit of all the people of
Camden, and not for the exclusive
benefit of any particular organiza-
tion or church.
The statement by Taxpayer"
that certain members of the School
Board desired to become mem bers
in order to rebuke Professor Har-
din, is only another evidence Of
ignorance or willful misrepresen-
tation.
Now "Taxpayer," why don't you
come ont in the open and tell the
people the facts by saying, myself
and my advisers don't care so much
about the school after all, but we
are simply taking advantage of the
situation solely in order to further
our own political fortunes; that we
are making political hay while the
sun shines; we have a campaign
coming on soon, and we need all
the recruits we can get. Why not
congratulate yourselves upon being
able to take your former political
foes by their good right arm, and
hand in hand walk together beside
the still and placid waters of the
political river. Oh, consistency;

TO THE CITIZENS OF AMERICUs.
(AdveI It's ament.)


After reading the statement 4 Mr..
Ansley, City Engineer, which appeared
in the Times Recorder of this morn
ing we, in justice to ourselves, and
for the Information OF the public, make
the following statement relative to the
report which We made to the council.
recommending the purchase Of cleo
trio power at the pumping station
We had ceyeral conferences with
Mr.. Ansley at which we discussed the
matter at length. At one of the meet
ings Mr.. Ansley advised in favor of
cutting out the connected horse power
for so much, and ask for a straight
rate. He stated that allowing a saw
ing of forty percent. with a new
pump, that still the electric power was
cheaper at three cents per million X.
W. hour than steam power, and yet We
got it at two and one half cents. He
further recommended a minimum of
I125 gallons per annum instead of 200
million, and the purchase of the
power by the K. w. hour in
stead of so much per thousand
gallons. These suggestions We're
agreed to by the Electric Com
pany; and Mr. Riley, at the last meet
ling before signing the report, asked
Mr.. Ansley if he was sue that this
was a good contract for the city, and
he answered, Yes" Mr.. White be-
fore signing the report asked Mi.
AnSlCy the question How much wator
enc X. w. hour OF electric power would
Ipump?" 1t was agreed between Ansley
and Electric Company that it would
pump one thousand gallons into the
island pipe of the city. Before this
report was agreed upon Nj. Ansley ad-
! viged that the cost of an electric div
en- pump,-entire outfit would be
about 100000. Mr.. Ansley further
stated that the city was pumping 1t
present an average Of 100000 gallons
of water per day, or 2l9 million gal
Ions per year.
This report was made largely upon
the advi-e and information given by
Mr.. Ansley; and we were Influenced to
make this report on the advice of M.
Ansley that it was good proposition
for the city, and we would not have
made it under any other conditions.

m T one memorable period in Republican history in New Jersey
~ the party managers were impressed with the idea that they
could get along without the labor vote. That was IN 1883.
So the Republican Legislature that year passed an act closing the
polls at sunset, d time when thousands of wageearners would be
unable to reach the polls to vote. There was swift resentment, and
as a result the party was soundly beaten in the ensuing election
for the Legislature. A Democratic Legislature in 1889 repealed
the law. That lesson served for Republican Legislators. The at
tempt to limit the opportunities Of wordngmen to vote, dtstran-
dhising hundreds of voters, was not repeated. Governor Wilson
demands that the Democrats in the Legislature shall do that which
no Republican Legislature since 1889 has dared to do-pass a
similar DISTINGUISHING act aimed at the wage Garner. In his state
ment, made public this week, the governor makes it appear that
the proposed limitation of the hours for voting for the working
man. which is a feature of the Geran bill, was promised in the
Democratic State platform. In all probability if the Democratic
platform had promised, or implied, anything of the kind the Demo
cratic party would now be in a minority in the Assembly and Gov
ernor Lewis would be occupying the executive chair. But are the
Democrats in the Legislature really prepared to pass a bill of this
character? Can they be whipped into support of such a measure?

Fl FUND COLLECTED, NOW THE HOME.

ATFa he devoted women and men, and more especially the women,
who started out with the determination TO raise a fund Of
$250000 for the erection and equipment of a home for work
Eng girls, who gave themselves a limited time for the accomplish
anent of that large task, and who will have signaDy tiumphed in IT.
s@n be heartily congratulated. The object sought is attained, the
home will be built and it will be a memorial of one of the noblest
and most successful efforts ever put forth in this city in the cause
of humanity. Newark may be congratulated upon the outcome of
8 campaign which is a test of its philanthropy. The army OF work
ang girls have reason for congratulatfon. The people of Newark,
In their generous subscriptions to this fund, have testified a sub
stantial interest in their welfare. The home to be erected will
take the place of close and dingy living quarters for hundreds OF
young girls who barely support themselves upon a small wage.
1T will be a civic centre for Newark womanhood and a means by
which women of high and low degree can keep in sympathetic touch
The good influence radiating from the home will extend through
out the whole community. 1t will not be long before the women
who have worked so zealously for a home for working girls will
realize that they bui1ded even better than they knew.
