Game Out Of Season,
A Lakewood justice Of the peace a
imposed fines ~aggregating 81, $40 upon

A Lakewood justice Of the peace mas
imposed fines aggregating $3.50 upon
the Lakewood Market Company, in
whose place of business were found
duck, quail, squirrel and rabbits out Of
season. This bare statement of fact
may give the impression that the mar.
ketmen are being harshly treated. but
that impression will be removed when
1t Is known that the same parties were
let off on the payment of a small fine
for the same ~offense, a year or two
ago. If the game laws are to be OBJ
served, those found guilty Of violating
should be punished. Men may honest.
ly differ on the point of whether game
that is killed in season, and placed in
cold storage for those who are willing
to pay the price, becomes c%ontraband
at a date prescribed; but the law de-
clares that certain birds and animals
shall not be captured, killed, injured,
destroyed or had in possession" with
in certain specified periods of time,
under a penalty of 500 for each bird
or animal seized. Dealers are given
fifteen days time after the close of
the season, in which to dispose of
game on hand. Fines aggregating ST.
$40 for the 81 birds and animals seiz-
ed in the Lakewood establishment
may be too severe a punishment, but
the penalty finally imposed should be
such as will have a deterrent effect on
others who are disposed to defy the
law.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-In connection with the
social center mc@croat and greater
use of the school buildings, the prin-
cipal of the Cooper School some time
ago adopted the plan of opening of the
rooms in her building for two hours
every evening for the accommodation
Of pupils who desired to prepare their
lessons for the following day. The ex-
pertinent was successful from the be-
ginning, many of the children taking
advantage of the heated, well-lighted
quiet room, with a teacher in charge
to assist them. The city of Perth Am
boy has now undertaken the expert
ment or a larger scale, its High School
faculty having recently decided to op-
en- and light the assembly-room on the
evening of each school day except
Friday, as a place in which the pupils
may gather for study. The results
have exceeded the expectations of the
teachers, and surprised the school au-
thorities. Attendance is entirely vol
untary, and the children, who study
only as long as they wish, seem to
thoroughly appreciate the place where
they can prepare their lessons undis-
turbed. An experiment that has prov
ed 80 successful when tried in a mod
est way in Trenton and Perth Amboy
would not fail if generally adopted.
There are hundreds of homes in which
the children have no place for home
study but the living-room, where their
attention is distracted from their
books by other members of the family,
in which the lighting is poor, and
where there is no n willing or com
petent to assist them over the hard
places. There are those who think
the ideal system should require that
the whole time in school shall be Civ
en- up to teaching, and not to mere re-
citation, parrot-like, of lessons cram
med and OOH forgotten; but this is
impossible when the schedules call for
from a dozen to a score of different
branches, some of which, it is true, re-
quire but little time, but all of which
takes the attention of teachers and pu-
pills. If home study is to be required,
it may be worth while to try on a larg-
er scale the plan adopted in the Coop
er School, which will cost much less
than some of the experiments that
have been undertaken.

Adversely and Happiness.

Because God loves us is it a sure In
ference that he will therefore always
minister to our comfort, content, and
peace of mind? That he will give us
unclouded days and an even path!
That. In short. he will always have
our present happiness in view? If
he loves US he will rather want to
make our natures as large and opu.
lent as possible, to bring us to the
highest perfection of being, to the
fullest development of strength and
courage, to the greatest capacity of
thought and feeling, to the strongest
of ~self-control and selfdirec-
ton. For these ends storm, stress,
struggle, and disappointment are quite
as essential as their opposites. They
are helpful in forming that larger life
that God most desires for us and is
his greatest gift to us, and in the pos
session of which we shall find all 9TH
er things added. We may, therefore.
regard the adversities of life as the
instrument through which God is
shaping for US a nobler future, and
be content.

The purpose of the new law author
izing the formation of toll-bridge COM
panies has been made plain by the in
corporation of the Ocean City Automo-
bile Bridge Company. Governor Viii
son vetoed the bill, because sit opens
the door for the creation of what the
State has long tried to get rid of,
namely, toll companies having the
right to charge tolls upon certain por-
tions of the highways of the State"
for years the State has been trying, by
legislation, to eliminate all toll roads;
1t has agreed to pay 100000 toward
making the Delaware bridges free;
and it has spent we'll on toward $780,
100000 for improved roads that are
now open to the free use of the world.
1t was the height Of inconsistency for
the Legislature to authorize the char
tering of a toll bridge company under
the circumstances.
