paign for Institution.

More than 100 women responded to
call for a meeting yesterday aft
ernoon to discuss the question, "Shall
New Jersey Women Have the Ad
vantage of State College and IL So,
Where Shall 1t Be?" The meeting
was held in the Newark Free Public
Library with Mrs. William Shipman
Douglass, of Jersey City, presiding.
Mrs. Douglass compared the made
quate facilities for the education of
New Jersey women with the adj
vanced system in force in New York
State. The latter State sent $50 stu
dents to colleges last year and is
now preparing for 5000 scholarships,
declared the speaker. Two or three
State colleges for men and women
are maintained by several Western
states said Mrs. Douglass.
The history of Rutgers College,
New Brunswick, from its foundation
in 1866 until its creation as a State
college for men in 1864, and its rec
ord to date was explained by Mrs.
Douglass.
One of the students of Rutgers Col
lege assisted Mrs. Douglass in the lee
ture by displaying stereopticon views
After the address several women vol
unteered TO contribute $500 each to
the fund to be used in the campaign
for New Jersey State college for
women. In addition the members of
the various clubs present promised
to organize committees in their re-
spective clubs to work for the same
end.
Among the club women present who
are now enrolled as members of the
committee were Mrs. William T.
Ropes, of Montclair, president of the
federation; Mrs. John r. Schermer-
horn, of East Orange; Mrs. w. j. Ar
mold, of Rutherford: Mrs. j. A Whit
man, of Cliffside; Mrs. F. N. Water

William S. Dsbrow, Mrs. Frederick
A. Dudley. Mrs. Beatrice NJ. Stern
and Mrs. Leonard II. Robbins, of this
city; Mrs. Herbert Parker, represent
ing the Mothers Congress.
He argued the efficiency of teach
ers was reduced by the protection
thrown around them by the law. One
of the questions the federation would
have to decide. Mr.. Taylor said, was
how to amend the teachers retire
ment law and eliminate this very Sc
rious defect.

WILSON MAKING
BREWTY RECORD
Big Difference Between Public
Addresses of President and
His Two Predecessors.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-President
Wilson is out for new record and,
so long as he adheres to the prac-
tise of reading in person his messages
to Congress, thereby making them
officially addresses" he is certain
to achieve it, He is after the brevity
record
Already Mr.. Wilson has firmly es-
tablished the reputation of being able
to write messages that the busy peo-
pie of the United States have time
to read. The old days when a Pres
ident's message filed anywhere from
ten to thirty columns of a newspa-
per have ceased. 1t Is no longer a
job of two or three hours to read
O. Presidents message. A compare
lively few minutes will suffice under
the system which President Wilson
has inaugurated.
on two occasions out of the four on
which the President has already adj
dressed Congress, his remarks have
filled less than column. On an
other occasion he wrote about two
columns Last Tuesday when he de-
livered an annual message, which,
according to custom, should have
filed about three newspaper pages.
it occupied when printed in full only
about three columns in the average
newspaper.
Up to the president time Mr.. Will
son has read four addresses to Con-
gress and the total number of words
in all of them Is only S,400. On April
8 his tariff measure contained only
LOO words. On June 23 his currency
message was of practically iden-
tical length. On August 81 he read
10. Ax.1e L.
| ican situation. On December 2, his
annual message-again taking the
form of an address-contained 5000
words, although 1t dealt with eight
general topics.
Mr.. Taft also began his admins
tration with an extra session of Con-
gress, but although 1t did not last
nearly so long as the extra session
which came to q close last Monday,
during the time of its existence he
sent 5000 words of messages to it.
This was very light output, accord
ing to the custom then In existence.
and Mr. Taft did not long adhere to
1t. His first annual message, cor
responding to Mr.. Wilson's address of
Tuesday, contained 1900 words,
Thus, at identical points in their
administrations, President Wilson
has addressed S,400 words to Congress
while President Taft's record was
24,600.
After that Mr.. Taft began to roll
up tremendous total He wrote fire.
quently and at length. His total be-
fore he went out of office had passed
the 100000 word mark. At one ses-
sion of the Sixty-second Congress
Mr.. Taft wrote G2,3OO words on va
rious subjects.
Mr.. Taft had followed in the pres
idential chair another very volumin-
Gus writer, Colonel Roosevelt. Some
of the ColonePs messages were long
er than that which Mr.. Taft ever
wrote. and it Is also probable that
his total output exceeded that of Mr..
Taft.

by Senator Hollis. Mr.. Olmstead wrote
he did not believe San Francisco

and not for local necessity"
Senators Bristow and Works pre-

Citizens League Recommends
Engagement of Town Expert

The Citizens League of Belleville
last night adopted a resolution pre-
sented by the executive committee
recommending that an efficiency ex-
pert be engaged to systematic the
town government and place 1t on an
efficient, economical and business
like basis. The cost of such a pro-
ceeding was commented upon, but no
definite action was taken, as the
members present admitted their in
ability to make any definite sugges-
tions.
An attempt to fix suitable salaries
for the town attorney and engineer,
based on the salaries received by
those two officers for the last two
years, likewise failed of results. Only
an incomplete report could be OBJ
tanned, it was explained. and this
proved insufficient. Vice-President
Frank A. Chairman presided in the
absence of President Charles Gran
vile Jones.
