The message in full follows:
ITO the Legislature:
with the opening of another legis-
lative session it is my privilege to call
your attention to several matters with
regard to which we have the oppor-
tunity to serve the State by wen-con-
sidered changes in its law. 1t has IN
terested me very deeply to note that IN
recent years in this State the platforms
Of the two great parties, which come
every year into competition at the an
nual election for the control of the
legislative body, have usually been IN
substantial agreement, so thai one Is
encouraged to believe that IL elections
are not SO much contests for party adj
vantage, or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, as for the
opportunity to serve the people or the
State-contests for the honor n salts
faction of accomplishing the reforms
which the conditions obtaining in the
state naturally suggest. If this is true,
the winning party may count upon the
cooperation of the minority in carry
ing out its platform program. When
the legislative session opens we be-
come colleagues in a common service
and our standard is not party ad-
vantage, but the welfare of New Jer-
sew. We are. first of all, citizens and
public servants; our party differences
are secondary to our duty as repre-
sentatives and trustees.

fort. This can be lone by q reform
very similar to that so fortunately eff

the way in this important reform of or

DISCUSSES ECONOMY
IN STATE BOARDS AND
SPEAKS ON EFFICIENCY

at is to question the efficiency and
economy, therefore, that I first invite
your serious attention.
THE government of New Jersey, like
the governments Of most of the older
States, has developed on it's admins
trative side, not systematically, but by
patchwork and mere accretion. by the
multiplication of boards and commits
stons, by the addition of first this piece
and then that piece to existing depart
ments. There q been constant addi-
tiou. no subtraction, M elimination, no
coordination. 1t has grown very
much as the State House itself has
grown, but without the necessity of at
least some semblance of architectural
unity, without the connecting corridors
and the common roof which the State
House must of mere physical necessity
be given.
'rThe number and variety of State
boards and commissions is utterly con-
rusing. One wonders why there might
not be, for example, a department of
public works, in which would be as
ser,1bled all the functions affecting
roads. parks, bridges and waterways,
now divided up amongst a half dozen
OOaTu6 dtu COIllAllAooAOiAoI IL pei
and temporary; why a department of
public welfare might not serve as a
means of coordinating and simplify
ing the supervision of h public
health, the examination of praetition-
ers of medicine, the inspection of ten
ement houses, of mills and factories,
and the enforcement of the laws
against child labor; why a department
OF conservation might not combine the
work now scattered amongst numer-
GUS bodies concerning the preservation
OF fish n game the supervision and
regulation of the oyster industry, the
safeguarding of the water supply and
the disposition of the riparian rights
Of the State? why should every oys-
ter bed have a commission of its own?
Ii is necessary to bring order out OF
this chaotic miscellany, not merely to
have the satisfaction of conducting the
business of the State in a business
like and efficient way, but to prevent
waste and forestall abuses of many
kinds.

WILL TAKE PLEASURE
in COOPERATING WITH
THE LEGISLATURE,

Il venture upon this preface to my
recommendations in order to anoro
myself the opportunity to a with
how much pleasure I h cooperate
with the present Legislature III carry
ing out every program that is judged
TO be for the common benefit. IL IS
my duty, as governor of the state ana
representative of all its people, to be
the leader of my party in the state,
indeed, but not a partisan or a STRAIT
egist for mere party benefit. L am glad
to think, therefore, thai the matters
TO which / shall call your attention do
not lie within the field of party de-
bate. They are matters which we
approach without party bias or preju-
dice. Whatever differences of Judgment
may arise with regard to them, they
need have no flavor of party feeling
about them.
cat the last session we united in eff
fecting reforms obviously necessary
and long desired, upon which opinion
in the State had for many years been
centred, but did not address ourselves
at all to certain other large questions
no less necessary to lea with, which
public opinion has not definitely fixed
simply because of their COM
plexity and of the fact that only those
who can view them from the inside
can fully appreciate how vital they are
to the integrity and serviceabll1ty of
the States government. | mean ques-
lions of efficiency and economy. We
ear get at the heart of these If we
choose, and we could not render the
State a greater service than by doing
so. Without the very best administra-
tive organization the government of
the State cannot be administered with
entire integrity or with fun and can
did responsibility to the people, for
unless it is efficient and responsible It
is in constant danger of becoming cor
rup Wastefulness and ineff1ciency
are themselves virtually forms Of graft.
They afford fruitful opportunities for
every kind of abuse.

your leader, you have the gang. Boys
are also hero-worshippers and II pos
sible you should provide good heroes
for their admiration and worship and
make the appeal to their minds and
hearts. The speaker advised that
much Of the Old Testament history
was adaptable for hero-worship for
boys.
He further advised that one essen
tial to the best results was class or
ganization or the formation Of some
sort OF club, but he did not advise any
particular form of organization as eff
fective in every instance. Back of all
the organization would be d person

under the auspices of the boys work

Strive" he was a guest at the Bible
study club supper, addressing the men

spoke again in Y. M. G. A. hall upon
use of the Gang Spirit in Church
Clubs"
This was a meeting for workers with
boys, and an audience Of thirty was
present Chairman ]. B. Stanton Of the
committee presiding. Prayer at the
opening Of the meeting was offered by
Rev. Donald B. MacLane of Taftville
Congregational church.
All Boys Belong to Gangs.
When introduced by Chairman Stan
ton, Rev. Mr.. Masseck took up his
subject by stating that a study Of boy
life shows that nearly every boy be-
longs to a gang this tendency first be-
ing shown at about years Of age and
continuing through to 1e. It is the
general idea in the formation of gang
with the boys to have a good time.
From about Is on. The gangs are most
ly athletic in their .-ctivities.
The gang idea is suggestive of evil,
but even in the worst can be found the
good side by study. YOU can find 1t il
you viii hunt for It, and ycu must hunt
for the good side in the boy. The
characteristics OF gangs are that they
contain usually boys Of much the same
age, the range of difference being little
over two years, and they generally be
long In the same neighbour BOD and
always go to the same school.

gang spirit and form them on lines of
age and neighbour BOD. Bear IN mind.
too, that nearly ell gangs have 3. nat

usually being won by force. The
