Thomas Jefferson, the greatest politi-
Cal philosopher who vel lived in this
country said:
Moral duties are as obligatory on
nations as on individuals"
mo government can be maintained
without the principles of fear as we'll as
duty. Good men will obey the last,
but bad ones The former only. Ii our
government ever fails it will be from
this weakness"
IT a section of a State contains a ma
jority of citizens who lack enough
moral principles to observe a law from
duty, should they have the right of
referendum to do wrong and d;sre-
gard the laws of God which have been
enacted into the civil laws of the State?
True PrOgressives believe in the Refer
endum to allow people to make bel ter
government and better people, but
never to allow bad government and the
right to permit d lower stale of morals
and bad government. They must be
made to obey the laws from the SENSE
of fear because they lack moral princi-
pies to do it from a sense of duty.
Otherwise, Jefferson says, our govern
ment will fail.

school Work in Gloucester County

The Woodbury. Constitution says:
Ii there was anything further needed
to convince the parents OF pupils OF the
public schools of Gloucester county Ii
the various Boards of Education that the
strong advocacy of manual training III
wood work and all kinds of needle work,
embroidery, color work and domestic SCI
ence in the schools by Prof. Steelman, the
County School superintendent, was a
step in the right direction that argument
has certainly been produced in the mag
~niicent exhibit of the scholars handi-
work in the Court House and Woodbury.
High School during the last few days.
Work along these lines was introduced
less than five years ago under the dliec-
ton of Mr.. Steelman and thru the coop
Grafton and diligence OF the teachers OF
the county, wonderful progress has been
made in every branch, the exhibits, many
of which were really fine specimens OF
handiwork, surprising those most favor
ably inclined to manual training in any
OF its branches. So many articles were
shown that we can ouly give brief men,
ton of the various schools OF the county.
The industrial art exhibit in the Wood
bury High School includes the drawing,
mechanical and freehand, designing,
stencils, perspective and interior decora-
ton; and the mammal trainlDg-Wood-
work, brass work, %ratfia, paper cutting
and construction. The wood work starts
in the fifth grade and is carried OF thru
the high school. All the articles are
specially designed and a working draw
ing of each made by the children before
the actual work is started. In the high
schOOl this work is elective, as is drawing,
The interior decoration drawings are
worthy of notice as the plans and color
schemes are original and each is carried
out after the pupils own ideas.
The first grade OF the Paulsboro schools
had OH exhibition quite a large sand ia
BILE decorated to represent al Opera House
with ali amphitheatre arranged by the
teacher, demonstrating the method of
teaching the Aldine system of reading.
Paulsboro also had on exhibition quite a
list of fancy embroidered articles conpris-
ing linen toweling, s%carfs, flannel shirts,
fancy aprons, hand bags in raffia and
and linen. There WAS also quite all ex-
tensive display OF construction work in
paper.
From Bridgeport, Logan Township,
came quite a display OF raffia work doll
lies, covers, handbags, children's gar

things in the line of handiwork.
From Swedesboro schools came a dis

The Gloucester County Democrat said
We very much doubt if any one person
in 8 thousand OF our people have had,
until now, even a remote idea of the ex-
tent OF the manual and industrial train
ing work as carried on by Gloucester
County Schools, and the exhibition in
the Court House last Saturday in connec-
ton with the quarterly meeting OF the
Teachers Association was indeed a reve-
lation. We cannot hope to describe it in
the scope OF this paper, and those who
SAW it will not expect us to, suffice to say
that the exhibition filed the Court room,
the FreehOlders' room and the upper cor
rider of the Court House, and a separate
exhibit was made OF the work OF Wood
bury schools i'll the high school building.
The remarkable fact connected there with
is that it i'll no way affected the regular
school work, but is considered an aid and
an impetus to academic studies. This is
surely a progressive period in public i'll
struction and is a ource OF satisfaction to
know that Gloucester County boys and
girls are being given a chance to progress
along approved lines-that the hand and
the eye are being trained with the mind.
County Superintendent Steelman and the
teachers are to be congratulated on the
new order.

Free Alfalfa Bulletin.

That alfalfa the greatest of forage
crops, will grow on every Iowa soil,
if properly cultivated, is the word
brought to Iowa farmers by the Iowa
agricultural experiment station of
Iowa State College in the new bull
letin, Alfalfa Management in Iowa,
BY Prof. H. D. Hughes. This big
bulletin of 70 pages will be sent free
to anyone who writes to the Bulletin
Section, Ames, Iowa.
The bulletin shows that successful
stands of alfalfa were secured in 81
counties out of 80 reporting, and in
the other nine the stands were par
TALLY successful. In 1909, the aver
age yield of alfalfa was 2.85 tons an
acre; in 1910, 2.7 tons. The aver
age of each acre of alfalfa was $22.-
80 in 1909 and 1912 in 1910. In
those same years the acre value of
corn was $17.65 and $14.32. ALI
alta surpasses all other Iowa crops
in feeding value.
The bulletin tells how to prepare
the seed bed for alfalfa, how to Sc
cure a stand, how to handle the crop
and how to avoid alfalfa troubles,
and names the best varieties to grow.
