The discussion was well under
way when Acting Governor Fielder
was called from his seat to meet
Oliver w. Ramsay, Joseph E. Strick-
er, A. Clayton Clark and John Pfeif-
fer, as a delegation from the Perth
Amboy Board of Trade. They es-
corted the executive to Abel Han
sens automobile Just west of city
hall park, where he viewed the school
children in parade. They formed a
line, four abreast, on State street,
between Smith and Market streets.
and marched east on High street and
around city hall park. The process
sion was lead by Superintendent of
Schools S. e. Shull and Principal e.
II. Kleinhans OF the high school.
The scholars followed in the order
given: High school, grammar school.
No. I, No. 7, No. 2, No. 4, No. 3,

1t was an inspiring sight when
more than four thousand pupils of
the public schools of this city as
sembled in the park at 1880 o'clock
this morning to be addressed by Gov
ernor Fielder. Most of the school
children had flags and when the gov
ernor's automobile entered the
southerly end of the park they waved
them in the air and cheered so loud
that even the sounds of the band
playing nearby were drowned The
governor, after being introduced by
City superintendent of Schools S.
e. Shull, spoke for ten minutes and
at the conclusion Oliver w. Ramsay,
who was one of the party In the auto,
rose and called for three more cheers
for the executive. The large gather
ing which almost filled the park
needed no urging and if possible

pedestal at the northerly end. would
have Joined in. Immediately after

tinized in preparation of this after
