ENGINEER SAYS
COUNTY BRIDGE
/. is THREATENED
Alvin B. Fox Fears Structure
Will be Damaged When
Ice Breaks Up.
THAW NOW IMMINENT
Breakers May Save PiIing
from Expected lam of Huge
Floes in River.

Warmer weather and a rain storm
will play havoc with the supports of
the county bridge, between this city
and South Am6oy, was the substance
of a declaration today by County
Engineer Alvin B. Fox, of this city.
Although the danger at the present
time Is trifiing, the county official
states that even small freshet will
rush the thick Ice in the Raritan
down the river with sufficient force
to cause considerable damage by
|splintering the bridge and its sup
ports. This statement is made de-
spite the fact that eight ice break
ers are maintained at the bridge by
the county and the Jersey Central
Traction Company and expected to
prevent eompelte wreckage of tae
structure.
Breakup Expected Soon.
Hundreds of tons or ice sweep
down the river to sea every year,
and the sudden raise in temperature
has given the county officials to be-
lieye that the breaking up" period
has arrived and that freshet can
be expected at any moment The
thermometer today registers above
the freezing mark and every iTidiea-s4
ton, in the way or banked clouds,
etc., causes the belief that d rain
storm Is due. The damage to prop
erty along the Raritan river cannot
be estimated II freshet starts at
this time. In previous years the
thaw became current in March and
April. IT tbrealS-up Is experi-
enced at this time, and another in
the spring, the huge bridge may be
greatly weakened, the county Off
cials declare.
Ice Nearly Foot Thick.
Ice in the Raritan river at the
present time measures from ten 10
twelve inches in thickness. The

It will be a good time after the snow
begins to melt for the farmers to use
the split log drag on the roads. The
good results following the recnt bad
weather in the use of the split log
drag should be an encouragement, not
only to those who used it so efficiently
before, but to others. The mail riders
who travel the roads every day are
unanimous in the assertion that wher-
ever the split log drag has been used,
the roads were in good condition. 1t
costs so little and takes such a small
part of the tine of the farmers, that
we hope they will contribute this little
of their time to the improvement of
the public roads.

again it is habit and again the school
is not attractive or comfortable. So
let us make our school buildings as
neat, comfortable and attractive as
possible and then make the work at
school pleasant with songs, poems,
and memory gems. Make the school
so attractive that the child will not
want to stay away from school. Teach
them to be ambitious, to have pur-
pose in life and help them to accom-
plish that purpose, for we as teachers,
can make of them what We will. Since
we are character builders, let US see
what kind of characters we will make.
If we do Our work with a conscious
ness of having done right and our

And trustees, do not employ teach
ers of whom you know practically
nothing of their character, habits, etc.
Remember it is your child that you
are entrusting to her care to make
what she will Get a good capable
teacher, then cooperate with her. Vis-
it the school. Ask the children at
night what they have learned today in
history, arithmetic, what new word IN
reading or what they can draw.
In organizing an Improvement asso-
ciatio have a good leader, then find out
what your school needs in the way OF
building or anything in school room
and seek to supply these needs. When

It is no wonder our country boys and
girls do not finish until about eighteen

physical and moral training. Teach
them to respect the rights Of others,
or public property. Teach the child
that the desk is his to take care OF,
and not to cut or mark up, that the
floor is his not to use as trash bas-
ket, and that the grounds are his not
to mar, but to beautify with trees and
flowers. Teach them lessons of po-
liteness or the moral side which must
not be neglected. And in teaching po-
1iteness and correct speaking remem-
ber that you are living example.
Teach them to take a pride in correct
speech so that it will be carried from
the school to the home. Now as to
text books, at the foundation OF an
education lies reading. We ask why
is it that advanced boys and girls do
not learn history, geography, etc. Be-
cause they can not read, can not read
intelligently, understandingly, hence
they can not solve a problem in arth-
metic because they do not catch its
meaning. And so the most important
work of the teacher with the text book
; is to teach the children to read intel
ligently and with expression. This is
one reason that so many of our boys
and girls fall out at the high school.
The physical side should not be neg
lected. For while the mind is being
trained the hand likewise should be
trained to put into practice the les
sons learned. Encourage the boys and
girls in sewing, cooking, playing ball,
planting trees and flowers and such.
Teach them to do something to help
others, unselfshness, as by the plant
ing of a tree we have done something
that will be of benefit to others in
years to come, thus planting living

our boys of South Carolina, of New
berry county, and of your community
The work of the teachers in this train
ing is work with the text book, as
the work is character building and
the text book is the foundation for
such. In other words, the text BOOK
is used as a guide. But the work OF
the teacher should be broader and
reach farther. The first work should
be to learn the children and back OF
the children, the parents. But how
can we know the parents? 1t is I'M
possible to visit them all, but visit as
many as you can. The hest way to
know all of the parents is to get them
to visit the school and this can be done
by the organization Of an Improvement
association. When you know the par
ent, know the child and teach accord
ingly. Let our teacheing be broad,

ALMOST PROPHETIC.

In an editorial in the Spartanburg
Journal of January 4th outlining
SOME work of the legislature, amongst
other things the three following para
graphs appear:
There is evident need of reform
and retrenchment There will be a
demand for more Offices, such as
school directors, travelling educators
and directors of farm work. A plan
has been proposed to appoint at least
one man in every county to superin-
tend the farmers, so that they shall
plant this crop or that crop.
There is too great tendency to
paternalism. There are too many peo-
pie who wish Office and especially the
salary. AS has been suggested be-
fore in the Journal, the agricultural
department needs overhauling and we
believe it should be abolished. So far
as this county is concerned it has
been a failure. Our farmers have re-
ceived no benefit from it. Cut that
out and let Clemson college Go the
work of that department.
Dean Swift, or some one else said
that he was a benefactor who made
two blades of grass grow wher one
grew before. Our legislators will ex-
hibit true patriotism if they will re-
tain only one Office where there were
two before"
The Journal seems to have been a
prophet There has been a. demand
for more Offices, and they have been
created, and the tendency seems to be
toward government control and gov
ernment supervision in every direc-
ton. The agricultural department
may need overhauling, but as it is at
present constituted and as We under
stand the purpose of the department,
it should be of great benefit to the
agricultural work Of the people of the
State. We do not know that it would
be wise to unite it with Clemson COL
lege. That would be centralizing, and
if Clemson will do the work it now has
in hand, it seems to us it will have it's
hands full.
We have not observed where the
legislature has cut off any unneces-
sary expenses, or for that matter,
any expenses at ALL In fact, it would
not be surprising if the present appro-
priation bill is not the largest in the
history of the State. 1t certainly will
be if the s25o,0Oo for government
warehouses goes through.
