much of this increased work must
be credited. A man unassuming. vet

shown the people generally set IN

The report of the work in this dis

made out for the department of agri-
culture at Washington shows some
most satisfactory and appealing fig

by these boys aggregated $1,5s3.75.
with a total yield of 10,39S bushels In

In cotton there were only fifteen

SAYS STUDENTS ARE.
NOT NOW STUDIOUS
Too Much Time for Social Ac-
tivities, Declares Martin
Bahler.

High school students are not as
studious as they formerly were," de-
clared Martin Boiler, of the East Or
ange schools, during an address be-
fore the Master Teachers Assoeia-
TONS semi-annual meeting last night
in the Normal School in Belleville
avenue.
"All of the high school girls have
disappeared, and in their place are
young ladies'" he said Social &C
tivities take up too much of their
time. The boys are all athletic he
roes, and the cultivation of the body
at the expense of that if the mind is
their principal aim
II would like to ask parents, Mr..
BOILER continued, whether they
would prefer that teachers in high
schools cinsider only the needs of the
per cent. of high school students
who enter colleges or look after the
interests of the other % per cent,
who want q useful education?
colleges, especially womens col
leges, are not very practical. They
do not understand that we must con-
slider the needs of ALL and so meet
us half way on the question of college
entrance examinations. First of all.
in teaching modern languages I put
words, their use and meaning. Second
comes the grammar which is only a
stepping stone.
Give them a vocabulary so that
they can express themselves and pu-
pills will sooner master the grammar.
Those persons who advertise to teach
foreign languages in five weeks are
humbugs.'
Frank u. Gilman, head of the his
tory department of Baringer High
School, talking on more initiative on
the part of the high school students,
said that things were made alto
gether too easy for them today. What
with explanations and footnotes there
was very little scope for exercising
their minds, yet if we do not make
it easy for them. he asked, will
they study at all?"
President John r. Beachler di-
rected the meeting and encouraged
the discussion on the topics. Henry
w. Foster supervising principal of
South Orange schools, told of plan
he has used for ten years with first
and second year preparatory grade
children in South Orange.

Chief Justice Gnmmere
Stays Execution of Levy
Against Wolff Estate

Chief Justice Gummere today hand
ed down a decision staying the exc
cution of levy against the property o
the southeast corner of Washington
and Garfield streets, owned by the
estate of the late David Wolff, until
the validity OF a judgment for $1,000
against the deceased is determined
by suit now pending in the Circuit
Court.
The judgment was obtained by John
Clafflin in 1898, and with the interest
now amounts to $4,000.
Subsequent to the judgment, how
ever, Wolff, it is declared, went
through bankruptcy and was dis
charged in 1902. Clafflin claims he
did not know of the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings and did not enter a claim
against the estate when it was ad-
ministered in bankruptcy. On this
bisis he now claims the retprn of the
judgment.
Spauling Frazier, of Riker and

ecutriX of the deceased, and obtained

Dover Public Schools
Get Manual Training
Department Addition

DOVER, Dec. GA manual train
ing or domestic SCIENCE department
will be added to the Dover public
school system next week. At present
only the sixth and seventh grades
will be affected. In January eighth
grade instruction will be added.
The Inauguration of this branch of
work is particularly gratifying to
Wilday V. Singer,
who has been working toward that
end since he has been at the head
of the Dover schools.
At the outset there was opposition
on the part of those who did not
understand the system, but through
public addresses and through the
Mr. Singer acquainted
the public with what he sought to
accomplish, and now he has the full
weight of public opinion with him,
The department is to be enlarged
from year to year, and 1t is expected
that when q new school building Is
erected an entire floor will be fitted
up for this line of instruction.

must arise in each community from
such divided authority, there stands
the successful and unimpeachahle
record of the State association for
thirty-five years in contrast to the
sad results which attended the divi-

With the growth of larger towns

from committing the suicidal mistake
made by the exempts in a few of our

Says Works Board Violated
Spirit of Civil Service in
the Discharge of Employees

Appealing for several discharged
employees of the Board OF Works be-
fore the Court of Errors and Appeals
at Trenton, yesterday afternoon, Ar
thur F. Egner argued that the spirit
if not the letter of the civil service
law had been violated by the removal
of a number of Republican office
holders last January by the Board of
Works.
Mr.. Egner admitted that for pur-
poses of economy the board might dis
charge or suspend employees who are
protected by the civil service act. This
the board has contended that it has
done, many of the employees being alb
solutely unnecessary and of no value
to the city.
In reply to Mr.. Egner, City Attorney
Herbert Boggs declared the resolution
Of the board removing the men was
not aotuated by partisan or improper
motives. The retention or discharge
of an employee on the ground of econ
omy should be strictly within the dis
erection of the board having control of
that particular department of the city
government.

Says Bergoff Juggled Money
from One Hand to the Other
Especial to the Newark start


JERSEY CITY, Dec. 6.--Sensational
allegations of high finance" were
made yesterday at the bankruptcy
proceedings before Referee in Bank
ruptcy George r. Beach. The charges
were brought by Nathan H. Berger,
of Newark, counsel for the creditors
of the Hudson Milling Company and
the Metropole Construction Com
pany, who announced that at the
next hearing he would prove that
both these concerns were CONTROLLED
by Julius Bergoff. and that in effect
any claim by ono concern against
the other would be a claim by Julius
Bergoff against julius Bergoff. and,
therefore, nun and void.
The plaintiffs sat the proceedings
were the Metropolitan Lumber Com
pany, OF Newark; the Patton Com
pany, of Philadelphia. and the Pitts
burgh Plate Glass Company all OF
whose claims amount to 100000
Bergoff and the Hudson and Metro
pole companies, which, with the
Union Trust Company, are involved
to the extent of $4,000 We're repre-
scented by Prosecutor Robert S. Huds-
peth and Carlisle Garrison.
1t was brought out yesterday that
Bergoff had organized the Hudson
Company at the instance of the Union
Trust Company, which was financial
ly interested. That was three years
ago, when the Doyne Lumber Com
pany was about to fail. Bergoff re-
organized the concern under the
name of Hudson Milling Company
and became principal stakeholder in
it. His wife, Mrs. Rose Bergoff. also
became chief stakeholder in the Met
ropole Company, which was organ
lied soon afterwards. The next hear
ing in the proceedings will be held
on December IL.
