and who operate motor vehicles un-
der our license privilege should be
asked to entirely make up the In
maintain the roads Of the state. In
other words, ] do not think that the
motorists OF New Jersey should be
asked to pay for the damage done
by motorists from other states. ] do,
however. believe that a revision Of
our motor vehicle fees should be I'M
dertaken. and that the system should
be reduced to a more scientific basis,
but not In such a way as to increase
materially the amount to be paid by
local motorists.
The solution of the problem of
revenue for road repairs, under rec
iprocity, can only be accomplished
by a perfection In the machinery of
Department. The reciprocity law
provides for a Is day touring privi-
lege, but fails to provide for any au-
tomato method of regulating ma
chimes from other states. / have al
ready suggested In order that the
matter might be open to discussion,
an automatic method whereby ma
chimes from other states could be
regulated by this department. My
plan is that the Commissioner of Mo-
tor Vehicles be given power to sus-
pend for cause and on notice the rec
iprocity privilege against any indi-
vidual motorist licensed by an out
side state. This would, of course,
not increase the of motor
vehicles within the state lines in a
manner which would injure the
roads.
A increase in the evenu of the
Motor Vehicle Department is possible
If a sufficient number of inspectors
be provided to make possible a strict
enforcement of the Is day touring
privilege, thus preventing the unlim-
tied use of the roads in the state Of
New Jersey by tourists from other
states. without paying the legal reg
istration fee.
In my opinion, by adding eight
paid inspectors to the Motor Vehicle
Department the state revenue may be
increased many thousands Of dollars.
The cost OF eight inspectors in salary
would approximate 10000, but the
wovk which those eieht insnFctors.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-06

In addition to the number which we
already have. would be able to &C
complish, would increase the reve-
nue. OF the state at least $4,000,
according to my estimate. While
this estimae is, to a certain extent,
a guess, it has a basis OF fact In the
work which we were able to accom-
plish In the summer resort sections
Of New Jersey during the past sum-
mer. The department was compelled
to confine Its work to certain Sec
tons during the past summer, on &C
count of an insuf1cientcy In the num-
Der of inspectors. In those sections
Of the state in which the most work
vas done to enforce the fifteen day
touring privilege, the of the
department were increased many
thousands of dollars. Taking this as
a basis, / believe, with a double
number o~finspectors, that the reve-
u of the department would be very
materially increased.
In addition to this, practical expe-
rience has shown me that the license
privileges have been greatly abused.
There has hardly been a week since
j nave Dten III OllCe ludl edCu lDSptE-
tor has not found at least fifteen or
twenty cases where persons we're
Abusing the license privileges, there
by impairing the state In
spection of this character has served
to increase very considerably the
revenue of the department. With an
increased number of inspectors, it
would be possible to scrutinize more
closely the licensing of motor vehi-
cles, and thereby ] estimate that the
revenue of the department would be
greatly increased.
If these recommendations are &C
cepted by the Legislature, | can con
fidently predict that while our EVE
nue. next year will not reach the ST.
100000 which you say is necessary
1t will approximate very closely to
that figure, If the phenomenal In
crease In the number of motor vehi-
cles continues at the same rate
which it has attained In past years.
In conclusion, l would recommend
before advising any drastic increase
in the motor vehicle fees, that we
can be given power and machinery
properly to enforce Jul present laws.

SCHOOLS FOR
new PURPOSE
Proposed to Use Them as
Employment Offices.

Schoolhouses as employment Of
fees Is the most recent proposal in
the movement for the wider use OIL
the school plant, according to in
formation received at the United
States Bureau Of Education. The
use of schools as social centers" has
become familiar through the organ
lied movement of the last year or
two. and more recently the use OF
the school buildings as polling booths
and forums for political discussion
has become known through the ex-
ample of New York and Chicago.
Now comes Professor John r. Com
mons. a member of the Wisconsin
Industrial Commission, with a propo-
sal TO use the schoolhouse as a labor
exchange.
The plan to link the social-center
work with the economic problem of
the unemployed is urged by Pro-
fessor Commons in the following
terms; There is need of an organ
lied market for labor y If
each schoolhouse has a director of
Its social-center service, he could be
supplied with blanks from a main
employment Office. A workman, by
going to the school nearest his house
to Tegister. could be Immediately
connected with the whole organized
labor market of the State"
Nor should this mark the end OF
the schools function in the labor
problem, according to Professor
Commons. He believes that the
school. acting as a branch of the
children's department OF the en-
ployment office, should be made to
help reduce the maladjustment of
occupations that is now a crying evil.
Records Of children's aptitudes
should be kept in school. Teachers,
can hest tell what the child is good
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-06

for; and they should direct the chill
dren into the most promising occu-
pations." 1t should be said that
this principle Ii already partially
recognized by public authorities.
The vocation bureau of the city OF
Boston aids in directing the future
occupation of children In the schools.
In Ohio the truant officer is required
by a recent statute to keep on file
a list OF the children between the
ages of IA and 16 who have received
school certificates and desire en-
ployment; prospective employers are
to have access to this list.
The attention given to Professor
Commons proposal emphasizes the
rapid development of the idea of
wider use of the school plant"
since Mr.. Edward j. Ward inaugu-
rated the social-center work at Ro-
chester. Kansas City affords a cur-
cept the so~cial-center idea. The
board of education of that city re-
Gently voted to open IT school build
ing for neighborhood uses at night.
School clubs will be organized for
the discussion of civic and economic
questions; there will be literary and
dramatic clubs, sewing and camp
fire clubs. There will be lectures,
moving pictures, folk dances, gym
nastics. and all the other neighbor-
hood activities hat are necessary to
wholesome community life.
The use Of school buildings as
forums for political discussion is now
a fact in both Chicago and New
York; in the latter city a plan to use
the buildings as polling places re-
ceived strong support from civic Or
ganizations; and while educators
have no way of finding out just how
far the suggestion Of schoolhouses
as labor exchanges will be adopted,
the fact that a proposal like this re-
ceives attention proves how wide
spread Is the sentiment in favor of
any and all projects involving a
wider use of the school plant for the
benefit Of the community.
