Public School Buildings.

Public School Buildings.
Public school construction work, on
new buildings and additions, aggregat-
ing considerably over a million andsa
quarter dollars in cost Is either under
way or will be before the late fall at
Newark. There has scarcely been a
period in the history Of the school sys-
tenn that sc much money has been ex-
pended in buildings, at one time. The
sum mentioned has to do with con
struction simply, and does not include
the cost of land nor the equipment
that must be provided. There is also
a large annual outlay when once the
buildings are in commission, for main
%tenance. These schools are all needed,
the demand for all of them is impera-
tive. The people are willing to bear
the burden their construction entails,
but they insist on rigid economy in
every possible way on the part of the
Board of Education.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-The State Board of Edu
cation adopted resolutions asking Gov
ernor Wilson to give his assistance to
remedy what are characterized as in
tolerable conditions in connection
with the financing of the public
schools of the State. The State Board
of Assessors are accused of delay in
filing final assessments on railroad pro-
perty, taxes from which go toward
supporting the schools. The final as
sessments should have been made last
January and are not made yet and ap-
portionment of railroad tax money for
the school year beginning July 1, 1912,
cannot be definitely made. The State
Board of Assessors increased railroad
assessments 500, 000, 900. These in
creases have been appealed from and
the appeals are pending. The Attor-
ney Generals Office is accused of de-
lay in arranging for the distribution OF
about $1,000, 900 of railroad taxes
which have not been distributed be-
cause there is an appeal pending in
the cas- of one railroad company
which involves only a trifiing portion
of the whole sum. These delays, &C
cording to the STATE Board of Educa-
ton, have forced the local school
boards to borrow money and prevent
the determining of the correct amour
of the local school appropriations for
the current year.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-08-09
Delay for $50.

The Board of Education as a body
n individually expressed their opin-
ions of the State Comptroller's De
partment. The Comptroller failed to
approve a bill for $50 for preparing a
set of suitable resolutions upon the
death of Edward Russ, for many years
a member Of the State Board. The
bill was returned with the tote that it
was not a necessary expense. Mr..
Murray was especially severe in his
criticism of the action. He said that
not only had Mr.. Russ done great SER
vice for the State, but upon his death
he left nearly $500, 900 for the State
school system. Mr.. Murray served no
tice on the board that at the next
meeting he will bring up for consid-
GRAFTON and will ask the board to de.
fine its position on the following ques-
lions The needs of the normal
schools; the ACCESSIBILITY of asking the
Legislature to pass a law prescribing
a minimum salary for teachers; the
jurisdiction of the State board or Leg
lslature on the. maximum number of
scholars n teacher should have; the
same as to the number of studies a
teacher should have; to call upon the
Legislature to provide proper schools
for the teaching of the blind, and to
provide buildings which are safe for
the housing of the children at the
State School for the Deaf.

Some Good Sound Advice
 to Farmers

We do not claim 10 know ev- erything about farming; but when we see a man raking up his spindling cotton stalks on his thin land and burning them we think there is another man who does not know 1t all. Or- dinarily the stalks on which a bale of cotton grew contain ten dollars worth of nitrogen. at the price you pay for it when you buy commercial fertilizer. and this is all lost when you burn the stalks. Furthermore the stalks on one acre if turned under and allowed to ret would throw otf enougn carbonic scid gas to liberate n.ore of the unavailable potash .,nd llosphorus in the soil than ecu co I buy for five dollars. We are got trying to discourage the lise of commercial f rtilizers. If properl used they will slw TVS paV hack more t an tn,y cost; out we 60 wish to discourage tha waste and de- structicn If a letter plant-food right on t'i, lanl where 1t is needed. This little article is worth fifty dollars a year to any farmer W is i, the habit of burning his stalks. if hs will only read and heed 1t.
The Brinkley argus., 1912-11-08

Ten 'sm you saw t !, .
The Brinkley argus., 1912-11-08

Again we arise to remark that a cotton stalk contains exactly the Xii Id and amount of plant food necessary to make q cotton stalk and if you will turn it un- ter and let it rot it will make another one just ike it, unless you let the substance back out md wash away. A winter cover crop of oats, rye or clover, will prevent this. = fri County Advo- cate.

and on the 21st. was laid away in
the City Cemetery in the presence
Of many friends Of the family, DR..

An Unpleasant Accident.

Mr.. J. R. Davis had a very UNI
pleasant accident to occur last Fri
day, as he was returning home from
Leesburg. He was driving two
horses, and, just before reaching
home, the double tree by some
means broke, the pole fell to the
ground, and caught and doubled
back and broke, and one end stuck
in the buggy and hoisted it throw
ing Mr.. Davis out, bruising him 80
that he had to take to his bed, and
call in medical advice. Miss Nora,
his daughter, who was with him,
jumped out in time to avoid the
hosting of the buggy and escaped
unhurt. Our latest information is
that Mr.. Davis is improving.

At sometime in the lives Of all OF

near and dear to us taken into the
beyond, and nothing is more COM
forting than the tender and sym
pathetic words of friends, and the
realization that such sorrow results
from the acts of an advise and
mercifuI Providence, the reason for
whose acts we must not question.
but submit to with unquestioning
humbleness. Sincerely,

Macon, Ga, Sept. 25. That the
newspapers of the country, through
the Newspaper Publishers Assecia-

new federal law which would re-
quire the marking of all paid matter

showing it's circulation, names OF
stockholders, editors, bondholders,

dicated by a legal opinion given by
James NJ. Beck, Of New York. Mr..
Beck was former assistant attor-
