The Prudential First

Each year for the past fifteen years
The Prudential has led all life insurance
companies in New Jesey in new business.
In 1912 the amount of paid for life in
surance issued and received in New Jersey
by The Prudential exceeded Sal, 600, 600
on over 5000, 600 policies.
The claims paid in New Jersey in 1912
were over $4,000, 600.
This leadership of The Prudential in
it's home State ia an indication of the con-
fidence and trust which the people Of New
Jersey put III The Prudential That conf
dence is further shown from the impress
sive statement that The Prudential now
has in force in New Jersey over 1880, 900
paid-tor policies. equal to over one half
the population of the State, and the paid
for insurance in force is nearly $50 mil
lions. These are interesting figures for
the public to contemplate.

A MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION
$50, 900 Asked for New School House

An election, more important than that
OF a senator, governor or president Will be
held lex Wednesday night at s O'Clock
at Penns Grove school house, to vote OIL
| build a new school house. The money
thought necessary is $4,000.
Such a proposition was presented to the
voters Ii months ago and voted down be-
cause it was considered premature and
that a building could be provided Tor
Sis, 900 or 500, 700. New members were
elected then who thought the same and
have little desire to do more than is COM
PEELED to be done. After sitting OIL the
lid for a year and bringing little to light
some now realize that $4,000 is neces-
sary,
But the world goes thru space at the
rate of IL miles Il second and has moved
several million miles since then. Many
children have been born. More room is
needed. Some begin to realize that MS
hall all acre OF land was needed for 30
and ~ children 20 years ago., more than
an acre and a half is needed for 800 now
and for 800 ten years hence.
Persons minds who gave the scholars
and cnildren's welfare no thought up to a
year ago begin to realize that Penns
Grove has got beyond little old Harmony
OF 40 years ago both in educational facili-
ties and the administration of school al
fairs. Some begin to see what education
al facilities and opportunities are given
elsewhere and that those whose educa-
tlonal vision never got beyond old. Har-
mony OF 40 years ago are not keeping
pace with the worlds progress.
Mao Il: Al-k .z-. -I-1
house is needed sooner than it can be
built, but those who have taken most
thought realize it will be a big mistake,
to put a $50, 900 building on the lot now
owned and Which will most likely be
done by the present majority OF the
Board OF Education if that amount is car
rled at the election next Wednesday. For
that reason some will vote against t,even
tho they realize the school house is need
ed now, with extra teachers.
Some believe the proceeding illegal so
far and think the best to do to vote it
down and start another.
Others want the lid taken off and more
light Oil the subject, while others val
nothing.
We believe the fullest publicity and
discussion should be given and that the
citizens should get beyond their little
sectional circle and personal interest and
learn to think all over the Borough for
the best good OF all concerned, not only
now but look to future years, even tho
larger school grounds may require a few
thousand more. The oldest citizens need
worry about the expense because they
will not live long to pay much. The boys
10 years and older now in school, will be
taxpayers at rs, and will help pay for
what they haye enjoyed.
