Opposition TO Appointment of
Julius Herzog on the Police
Force Find Old Ordinance.
SUSTAINED BY OPINION
OF CITY ATTORNEY
Must be Citizen as Well as
Resident for Two Years
to be Eligible.

Opposition to the appointment OF
Julius Berzog, the highest man IN
the eligible list for the police force,
has produced an old ordinance re-
garding the citizenship of the appli-
cants. When the Question was pat
up to the mayor by alderman Henry
w. Sandbeck, Jr.. he communicated
with City Attorney c. G.. Hommann,
who, in a written opinion, sustained
the contention of the alderman that
all appointees to the police force
should be a citizen for two years and
resident for two years.
Other lawyers who have been con-
suited disagree with the city attor-
ney. However, as a city official, Mr..
Garretson intends to abide by the
opinion of the city attorney. He has
notified Mr.. Herzog concerning the
statement, leaving it to him to OBJ
tain counsel and dispute the opinion,
if he so desires.
Mayor Garretson's letter to the
city attorney and Mr.. Hommann's
reply follow:
March A 1913.
Mr.. G. c. Hommann,
City Attorney, Perth Amboy, N. ].
| Dear Sir
One of the qualifications for ap-
pointment to the police force as pro-
vided in the ordinance approved
April IT. 1902, Chapter 452, reads,
they must be resident citizens OF

provision make ineligible man who

six or seven years, but who had only

WILL AWARD
GOLD MEDAL.
ohadcery Clerk
Dept. of Agriculture to wv
Prize to School Boy or
Girl for Best Essay
on Public Roads.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and 10 who
writes the best composition, not to ex-
ceed 300 words, on the repair and main
tenance of earth roads, is to be award
ed by Logan Waller Page, director,
Office of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, ID. G. All compositions must be
submitted to Mr.. Page before May ID,
1913, and the medal will be awarded as
soon thereafter as the compositions
can be graded. The compositions may
be based on knowledge gained from
books or other sources, but no quota
tions should be made.
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation of
the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief that
ignorance on the subject of repair and
maintenance Of roads is as much the
cause of their bad condition as any
other one factor. 1t is expected that
the competition will bring about bet
ter understanding of the subject OF re-
pair and maintenance in the rural dis
tricts.
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadvan-
tages of roads made impossible through
lack of proper maintenance and it is
expected that their interestin the COM
petition will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads have
prevented many children from obtain
ing a proper education and have even
prevented doctors from reaching the
side of rural patierts in time to save
their lives.
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending country school, may
compete. Only one side of the paper
must be written on; each page should
be numbered; the name, age, and ad-
dress of the writer, and the name
and the location of the schoo
which he or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top Of the first
page. The announcement of the com
petition has been sent to the superin
tendents of schools in the rural dis
tricts. No further information can b'
obtained from the Office of Publi
Roads.
This announcement should be plain t.
everyone, and all children will thu
start on basis of equality.

LETTER FROM
WASHINGTON.
happenings of Interest at
the National Capital as
Told by Sentiners
Correspondent.

Washington, D. c., April 10, 1913
The first session of the Sixty-Third
Congress got under way promptly. The
House was called to order, and Champ
Clark, reelected Speaker, receiving 205
votes, while Representative Mann, Re-
publican, received III, Victor Murdoch,
Progressive, Is. Speaker Clark son,
Bennett Clark, has been appointed par
Humanitarian to assist his father.
The President announced that he
would read his messgae, and resolutions
were passed for a joint session, not
however until Senators Lodge and Will
Jams had INDUCED in criticism Of the
innovation. But, undaunted by the
criticism, President Wilson personally
read his message from the Speakers
rostrum, calling upon Congress to apply
remedies, even though heroic, to cure
existing evils.
The revival of this old custom Of
Washington and Adams created great
sensation. The usual reading of
| Presidents message is a most perfume
/ tory and uninteresting performance.
As printed copies of the message have
| been furnished to Senators and Repre-
sentatives, they pay little or no atten-
ton to its reading by the clerk. The
reception of Wilson message was diff
ferent. His presence gave dignity and
! Importance to the occasion, and the
message was what it ought to bean
impressive inauguration of the season.
The President has taken such an ac-
tive part in the new tariff bill in con-
junction with Chairman Underwood, it
has come to be called the Wilson-Un-
derwood bill. By it, duties will be

foodstuffs, clothing material, and prac
tically everything that enters into the
establishment and maintenance of the
average home being placed on tie free
list or materially reduced in duties.
There will be loss of sabout $50, 000,-
1000 in revenue to the government. To
make up this deficiency, the bill pro-
vides for an income tax of per cent
on annual earnings exceeding S4 600,
called normal tax. In addition, on
, incomes from $40, 900 up, ''surtax'
of from TO per cent is levied.
} In addition to his activities in pro-
, posed legislation, President Wilson has
expressed himself in favor of the oper
caucus and says that he will advocate il
on every occasion. By throwing eau
cuses open to the public the opportunity
. for secret chickering's and trades among
the Legislators is done away with.

cation by Connecticut, the 36th state,

SOME EDUCA-
TIONAL ERRORS.
G. 7. Howerton Expresses
Views on Evils of the
Present Day System
Of Education.

Some days ago after a mutual ex-
change of notions about needed reforms
in education with the editor of Grenada
Sentinel who is interested in matters of
this kind in his state he made sugges-
tion that | write few lines for the
types. If anything in this is worth
while please give him Cr. for it, if
not DR..
1t is easy to get into error if we are
started wrong. This is what happened
to matters of education. Schools had
their origin in the Church, and the
Church still has many of the errors of
Paganism in it. Witness our women
who are members of modern Protestant
churches dressing themselves in "deep
mourning on the death of member
of the family. Many of these good
women do not know that this is pure
Paganism.
The Church fostered learning. and
teXalted the learned" but did little
for education. Just as the Catholic
church got many of the errors of Pa
ganism, so the state schools got many
OF the errors of the Church, and while
the states are spending much money
for Education" most of it is spent on
"learning. But learning is not edu-
cation.
Not only is learning not education,
but it often hinders education, Educa-
ton is live thing, brings life-is life.
Learning often brings death.
| Education helps wisdom, is wisdom.
Learning hinders wisdom more often
than otherwise, sometimes brings mad
ness; Much learning doth make thee
, mad" Education brings strength, is
strength. Learning is one of the mos
, frequent causes of weakness
/ Education ministers to health; i!
! health to the bones, activity to the
muscles, energy to the nerves. Learn
, ing often brings disease, inactivity
; nervous break down, laziness.
\ Education makes one work. want t,
work, love work. Learning hinder
: work, often incapacitates for work
and makes one hate work.
Education liberates, brings freedom
"sets the captive free" Learning
often eilslaves, binds one in narrow
and shoals, finds It's fittest place in tn
{, dark, damp, cloister,
n Education is the natural, norma
{ God.given life, and appeals to ever
d child, every human being in the lane
e Learning is so unnatural that 1t IS dt
s spised by most children, and appeals
o precious few.
t But the schools spend much time an
# money and energy on learning, an
s little on education.
h Witness the present condition of til
e negro in the South. After half Ger
e tury of free schools for him he is nj
z so we'll educated now as he was in 1856
y Then he could do things, was "wil
n ing WORKER dependable human beini
al Now he is wholly unreliable, al
n thrown on his own resources would
an less able to supply his wants and +;
less willing.
To start in the direction of educatio
therefore, we must go away from tex
r. book learning, and school house co
fnement, and pedaeogic tyranny.
