The forthcoming report of the Bureau
of Statistics OF New Jersey for the year
1912 shows the condition of the manu-
featuring industry in the State during the

compilation based on individual reports,
show results as following:
Number of establishments 2,475
Private firms 767
Partners in private firms 1,342
Number of corporations l,708
Number of stockholders l10,O 9l
Capital invested $S4S, 900, 943
Cost value of stock used $685.. 946, 1862
Selling value of goods made $40, $50, 552

As compared with the pevious year,
there has beeh an increase in 1911 of 7.3

in the number of wage earners, and 2.8
per cent. in the total value of all products.
These increases are below those of former
years.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-12-27
States Roads.

Colonel Edwin A. Stevens, State Road
Commissioner, has made his second annu-
al report on New Jersey road work done
for the fiscal year, accompanied with
plans for the present year and recon-
mendations for legislation to make the
State road problem more of a success.
The State built 44.05S miles of roads out
of the 1912 appropriation and finished
33.424 miles out of the unexpended
portion of the 1911 appropriation, al
expenditure of 1921, 1885, 5 for the 1912
roads and of $298, S43. SO for the 1911 roads.
Since the passage of the state aid road law,
New Jersey has expended $3,65l, 599 as
its one-third share of good road COLI
struction, the other two-thirds being
paid by the county. The total number
of miles of road built since the law was
passed is 1854. Commissioner Stevens
again emphasizes the burden Of road
repair, and shows that during the year
the repairs cost 81, 233, 7l8, of which the
SGdGe pdiu SOIO,oOO Ouo VI viz aueOhiouiAe
fund, and the counties expended 1862.
l65.
Under the new law passed last winter
| the first convicts to work on state roads
were used at White. Horse, Hunterdol
county. 1t ls the opinion OF Col. Stevens
| that the sixteen men were doing better
work than the average laborer on othel
roads.
"The men, said Colonel Stevens, slikt
being out in the cir. They take to thu
exercise. and they work with zest. l an
convinced that they will turn out to b.
OF great consequence in State road build
ing. The test 80 far has pleased me very
mvch.
"No one has euyed them, and tin
average man passing would not see any
thing of the convict about them. TIT
men know that one break and they d.
not get out again. They know.that the.
are earning commhtation all the time 70
good behavior, and the results as laborer
so far have exceeded my expectations.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-12-27
"Mr. Bryan's Position" on Four
Issues Stated

Under the heading "Mr. Bryan's
Position "the last issue of the Common
Ell said:
First-Mr. Bryan does not advocate
the retirement of outstanding national
bank currency, but be opposes ali en-
largement of the privileges now enjoyed
by national banks, and he believes that
such emergency currency as may he
necessary should be issued by the Gov
eminent, add not by the banks.
"Second-The comforting upon tx
Presidents of the right to participate i'll
debate in he Senate and House need
not be acc Ompanied by compensation;
in other words, the privilege may be
conferred as an honor rather than as
an office.
"Third-The Democrats in the Sen
ate are light in insisting that Important
appointments should be reserved for
the President-elect. This is especially
true when the appointees are to hold
Office for life.
"FOurth--The Democrats at Wash.
ington are justified in condemning the
p%srtisanship which leads the President
to ext, nd the Civil Service when that
exten ion had no higher purpose than
the retention OF Republican a%ppoinlees. y

Parents And Teachers

r Thousands of people are complaining
every year that the public schools are
not "making good" They cannot
understand why the great majority of
boys, after reaching the sixth OF sew
entn grade, fail to pass their examin-
ations become discouraged and drop out
of school, says the Columbia State.
The small prOpOrtionate number OF
graduates they regard a, proving that
something is radically wrong in the
scheme and methods of instruction.
Not for a moment do they remember
what they are asking of the schools.
If they would compare their outlay for
education with the outlay for heating or
lighting Their ho nes and then compare
the results, they would agree that no
other investment yields returns worthy
to be mentioned by the side of their in
vestment in tile public schools, yet
they insist that the schools should &C
compllSh fOr average boy ana girl ten
times what they do accomplish. The
mother or father who will give to the
children inlhe family an hour of as
slstance each day will have 10 reason
to be disappointed with the school sys
TEN. If they will three times a year
visit The schools and spend half an hour
in them, learning at first hand what
the task of the teachers is and how
much the taxpayers have asked the
school system to do, they will conclude
that wonders are being achieved a.
nominal cost and they will be %convinc-
ed, moreover, that in respect to to their
own children they may not expect the
working of miracles unless they set
themselves to do faithfully what is
physically beyond the powers of the over
worked teachers.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-12-27
County Inspector Brown

At the last meeting of the Salem il
ty Freeholders, J. Hartley Brown, Coun-
ty Inspector of Weights and Measures,
made an interesting statement OF his
work and the expenses connected there
with. He said that he felt that few per-
SONS, perhaps, really knew there is an
Inspector and what he is accomplishing.
He said that during the nine months he
has been Inspector he has condemned
and confscated in the county, more than
four hundred weights, three hundred and
eighty measures, two hundred and twen-
ty scales and other items as being unlaw-
full. These weights and measures were
OLD and untrue, and in most cases., the
store-keepers really did not know wheth-
er or not they were selling things by the
correct measure.
He found one set of scales which had
been in active business for more than ff-
ty years. These owners were honest and
were glad to be put OIL the right track.
! and as a result he knew OF more than two
hundred new scales which had been
bought and installed in the stores in the
| county. He said that he had been warm
lys thanked by many of these store-keep-
| ers after he had corrected their weights
| and measures and he felt that the work is
a good one and that few realize its i'm
portance.
AS to the financial reward to himself,
he MAS not. so optimistic, altho he said
he did not wish to complain or ask
for more pay. He said he had offered to
do this work for the salary of fifty
dollars per month out of which he is to
pay his own expenses, but he stated
that if he did not own his automobile he
| could not afford to do the work. He
nor anyone else could afford to hire all
auto to do it. He gave A. 1850 as a conserv-
alive estimate Of the number of miles
he has travelled and figuring the cost at
81 cents per mile, his mileage alone had
cost him $123.75. But he said five
tents per mile is a low figure and most
duGOlsbS uguIcu tuc COSb db ~ CcHbS per
mile. However, figuring at 81 cents per
mile and deductlng that from his
| salary, he would have lelt for his labor
but 1926. 25 out of which he had bought
his meats when at a distance from
home, had paid his own expenses to
Trenton and Atlantic City when sum.
moned by the State Inspector and had
bought auto tires, made repairs and
met other expenses so that in reality he
had almost nothing left for himself. He
| said he averaged more than % miles
| per day for twenty-five actual working
days in every month. When asked if he
wished more money for the balance of
the year, or if he desired to present a
bill for the expenses, he said he did
not, that he merely wished the Board
to know what he is doing and that lie
felt the county had a right to have a
| report, and that as he had agreed to do
the work he would not object to any
| result, especially as he-had himself
fixed the salary he was willing to
accept. Director Gray informed him
that as he is so willing. the Board would
take advantage OF his generosity for at
least the balance of his year, which will
be until January first next.

On Nov. 10Th, the Short Courses of
Rutgers College, at New Brunswick,
opened in the Short Course Building
at the college farm.
DR.. Demarest, President of the COL
lege, gave the opening address to the
largest class that the school has eyer
had in its history.
The courses are all filled and several
names upon the waiting list, showing
how popular these courses are to the
farmers of this state and others. The

ator Gaunt's appropriation of $780, 900
for new buildings will be in shape so
that all will find room next year.
