ATTENDANCE
IN SCHOOLS
Supt. shuII Reports Per.
centags Is On Increase.

S. E. Shull, superintendent OF
public schools in this city, stated
this morning that the percentage OF
daily attendance is decidedly on the
increase and Perth Amboy is blessed
with less sickness among its little
folks than in many months. Last
January a plague of grip hit this city
SO hard that the percentage. of at
tendance quickly dropped from nine
ty-two per cent. of the total enroll
ment to eighty-seven per cent, a de-
crease Of five per cent. In the
month of January 1t was nothing I'M
usual to have from $50 to 275 pupils
absent every day.
Present weather conditions, and
the absence of contagious diseases,
has worked wonders with the pride
of all school teechersh hearts, the
daily average attendance. Things
will go along smoothly, perhaps, un-
til the spring fever arrives and
clutches the small boy in It's grip.
For the past week the Greek Cath
olics have enjoyed their Easter and
spring vacation, causing a trifina
drop in the attendance figures. Their
Easter comes one week later than
the Easter Of members of Protestant
and Roman Catholic faith.

GOV. WILSON ON
WHAT IS RIGHT
Speaks at Dinner Given In
New York.

New York, April Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson came to the dinner
Of the members of Rabbi Stephen s.
Wise's free synagogue at the Hotel
Astor to ask the 500 diners three
questions and to answer them him
self.
what is your conception of right?
What Is your conception of business?
What do you think of IPelitics?" he
queried. 1t was almost midnight by
the time these questions were asked,
for they kept the governor until all
the other speakers were through.
Then Henry Morgenthau, who pre-
sided, introduced Governor Wilson,
while the diners cheered thunderous-
ly.
81 have come out of a contest"
said the governor, Into al atmos-
phere Of serenity where things do
not have to be done right away,
where things are discussed a II they
were going to be done some time not
In the immediate future. / have
gone through six months Of ceaseless
vigilance for fear of things that
ought to be done will be left undone
and things that ought not to be done
will be done. But / want you to I'M
derstand that my colleagues in the
Trenton legislature have not been
%dragooned into doing things that
have made this last session of the
New Jersey legislature illustrious.
My legislative colleagues have worn
the air of free men enjoying the
privilege of doing things they desire
to do"
He spoke of changes that are to
come in our civil life.
I'VE must prepare u minds in
| calmness for the changes that are to
come. Look to your thoughts-they
are going to constitute the atmos-
phere and conditions of the changes.
What are We going to do with power
and intelligence that we possess?
No nation can gain distinction by a
bulk of wealth or power, but only by
spiritual means. We call many a
rich man great because of his power,
but We call only that rich man noble
who uses power for the benefit of
his fellow man. This is the Ameri-
can patrician.
When he asked his first question
| about the hearers conception of
| right, he said that he meant not
moral right, but right as the lawyer
and politician used it, the rights
that a man has.
do you mean by right he asked,
can opportunity to be selfish or duty
to be s~erviceable? If you mean the
former, then I deny that you have
any rights. If, on the other hand,
you think of your rights as things
bound up with duty you have dis
covered the real foundation of the
stability Of our institutions. If those
who speak of the invasion of corpor-
| alton rights car show me that they
have these rights in the moral con-
tent, then l shall be serviceable in
protestation, but If they can't, 1 deny
that they have any If you conceive
of business In the old meaning of the
proverb, business Is business then
| am an enemy of business; but if
you regard 1t as a thing that will en-
able you to obtain profit by service,
l am your ally"
AS to politics, he said he cared not
whether a man was a nominal Demo-
crat or a nominal Republican; what
he cared vas whether he was pro-
gressive or reactionary. That he
said, "is the only distinction 1 admit
in politics."

RECOVERED Is
BODIES TODAY
Twenty Thres Men Caught
in West Virginia Mine.
Special b. United Press Wire

opectds CB United Press Wire
Elk Garden, W. Va, April 25:-
Fifteen bodies were recovered early
today from the OFT mine, No. 20, Of
the David Coal and Coke Company,
where an explosion yesterday after
noon is believed to have killed TWEEN
ty-three miners.
The bodies, ~blackened and charred,
were found a half mile from the shaft
entrance under tons Of debris that
blocked the galley level. Their CON
dition will make Identification very
difficult, excepting cases where the
mine checks are found Ia the cloth
ing of the dead men.
While the rescuers are working al
great risk, there being two parties
under the direction Of Robert Grant,
superintendent of the mine, all hope Is
abandoned Of reaching the men alive.
The smoke in the mine is sitting. and
this greatly impedes the progress Of
the workers. Many headings are filed
by falls Of coal, and the way to the
place the men were working is en-
tirely closed.
1t is not yet known whether the ex-
plosion came from dust or gas. 1t is
uncommon for gas to gather in the
mines of the upper Potomac region.
1t is a low vein mine, employing
about 100 men, but owing to the
slump in the coal trade only about ne-
fourth Of the regular force was st
work.
Immediately after the explosion the
whole country on both sides Of the
river was thrown into great excite
ment, and hundreds Of men, women
and children gathered about the mouth
of the mine.
