A well-founded rumor is to the
effect that Republicans of Clayton are
taking steps toward the formation of
a Woodrow Wilson Club.
The nomination of President Taft
and the side-tracking of Colonel Roose-
Welt from the national political arena
makes such steps inevitable where
progressive sentiment yet lives. The
overwhelming majority given Mr..
Roosevelt by Gloucester County Re
publicans means that any reactionary
candidate will not be supported by
the rank and file of that party. Hence
it will not be an unexpected surprise
if the rumor resolves itself into more
than fiction.

The graduates of our secondary
schools who fear entering profes-
sion because they hear so frequently
that they are already overcrowded,
should ponder well the words of DR..
John Grier Hibben, President of Prin-
ceton University:
/ do not share the general alarm
over the sO-called oyercrowding of
the professions. I feel, as Daniel
Webster put it, that there is always
room at the top The world is con-
tinually in search of really able and
talented men, and there are not begin
ming to be enough nowadays to meet
the supply.
The trouble arises from the fact
that a great many men are simply
of mediocre ability and lack the en-
ergy and enterprise necessary to reach
the top. In other words, they do not
work hard enough and are careless in
the preparation for their life work.
Good men are everywhere in de-
mand, and so far from the professions
being overcrowded there is a lament
able lack of really accomplished men.

A citizen residing in the section of
Woodbury. near the City Park, thinks
the Tree Commission should be COM
mended for the excellent condition
in which the City Park is kept. There
is no doubt that it's appearance lends
much toward making that part of the
city beautiful Were there a lawn in
front of the high school building in
process of reconstruction, kept green,
the territory contiguous to our public
buildings would be considerably more
attractive.
1t may be interesting to state that
the Board of Education in Freehold
has recently authorized the expendi-
ture~ e~of two hundred dollars to replace
the rhododendrums surrounding the
high school building in that city with
evergreens The reason for the ex-
penditure of the money is that the
rhododendrums were out of place. Free
hold has spent several hundreds OF
dollars in making its school yard a
delight to the eye and an education
to be associated with AS superinten-
dent of schools Mr.. Enright contends,
beautiful school-yard should be a
necessary part ol uhe euucdIlOH III the
school 1t impresses upon the chill
dren the real meaning of the town
beautiful 1t shows them there is
something more in learning than can
be found in books. 1t gets them in
terested in plants and flowers, and
gives them a certain pride in their
schoolyard. And what is quite as
important, it provides a refreshing
view from the school window.
Money spent in providing beauti-
full schoolyard, filled with plants and
flowers, is wisely expended -and
yields dividends.

Gloucester County Democrat., 1912-07-11

Some of the Democratic leaders say
there are several reasons why the
Governor should not vacate his pres
ent office at the earliest before the
second Tuesday in January, 1913,
when the next Legislature will organ
ize. We're he to retire at an earlier
date; the President Of the Senate, John
D. Prince, of Passaic, Republican,
would become acting Governor and
would possess all the powers of the
Governor until the Senate of 1913
organizes The Democratic leaders ex-
press confidence that the next Legis-
lature will be Democratic on Joint
ballot by substantial majority, bas-
ing this on the strong rally to the
Governor by united democracy and
by many Progressive Republicans.
So confident are the Democrats that
they will gain control of the Senate,
they are already talking of plans for
the organization of this branch. Sem
ator James f. Fielder, of Hudson, is
slated for the Presidency of the Sem
ate.
