Slang a Technical Language

Slang is technical language in which
word or sentence conveys to the ini-
tiated that which 1t would take a tedious
description to express-hence, however
much we may frown upon it, it will ever
be In popular but changing use, remarks
none other than NJ. E. Wadsworth pro-
fessor emeritus of mining engineering,
University of Pittsburg, says the Coal
Age Even the miners themselves use
different special terms in their work; for
example. the coal miner and the metal
miner, the German and the English miner,
tie Cornlshman and the Australian, New
Zealand and South African mining man.
Who is there who would understand a re-
port of a game of baseball or football If
it were reported In common untechnical
language, or what journal would print
it? Yet it is as just to ask that the Ian
guage of our athletic sports shall be
ranslated into the vernacular as to de-
mand that mining language shall be. To
bring this about the uneducated miner
would have to change the world, as his
language is as obscure to others as that
of the most abstruse mining article is to
him. That all writings for general or for
class teaching should be made as simple
as possible is a truisn1, but it is as nee
cssary for the uneducated mining man to
educate himself up to the standard of
others as 1t is for the learned writer to
forsake that which has become to him
as his mother tongue. and use language
that he has long ago forgotten, and which
usually has SO many different shades of
meaning that it cannot convey clear and
positive technical idea. Neither class of
mining men should desplse the other as
far as practicable and become mutually
helpful. Technical terms are the Short
hand of scientific language that allow
one, in a few words, to save many pages
of untechnical wrting. In fact to the
scientifically trained man, these terms
ore the common everyday language in
which he things, and they are perfectly
simple and clear to him. In truth, in
most cases it seems impossible for him to
use different language. All men in every
walk of life employ special (technicaD
terms suited to the occupation they fol-
low. All have to use that language to a
greater or less extent and when anyone
desires to be at all versed in, or to un-
derstand. any subject, he must become
the master of its technical language

many $1,000 conventions will it take to

She is producing national men; she is
growing at national speed; she is sell

People know and are talking about

known cities in the country and yet
Birmingham absolutely cannot en-

an organization outside of the state.
What will Birmingham do with practi
cally all of the intrastate conventions
coming to her auditorium and many
national conventions on account of her
national reputation, her ideal location
and her unsurpassed railroad facilities
from every direction of the compass?
Folly to Object
Its folly to object to an auditor
ium There is not man in the city,
no matter how poor or insignificant he
may think himself. who will not in the
long run profit by the city having an
auditorium, getting conventions, bring
outside money here, making new friends
and assimilating immigrants from 9TH
er parts of the country who are thus
attracted to a city
"The usual method in modern city
building now days is to erect an audi
tOrium one of the very first things; it
is one of the first buildings constructed
and the town is built around it. I'm
not over enthusiastic but that's fact. Here
Birmingham has gone nearly a half CEN
tury and still no auditorium She is
new town and needs many things, know
/ am told the city treasury is in bad
condition But an auditorium will not
be another burden; it is a way out. An
auditorium is a good thing for a town
that is out of debt; it's a mighty good
thing for a town that is in debt.
"All commercial success nowadays is re-
lately very closely to advertising
Cities are no exception and the big
gest advertisement any city can pos
sibly secure is an auditorium and its
resultant conventions. In Richmond we
have a municipal auditorium l think
that is the way by far the larger per
cent of them are financed-by a mu-
nicipal bond Issue. In Richmond the
city government sets apart each year
budget of a couple of hundred thou
sand dollars for entertainment of CON

lars for entertainment and expenses.

Steward Bowne's Statement.


Denying charges that his administration
is extravsgant and submitting records to
show that the almshouse is the most econ
omicslly conducted Burlington County
institution, Steward Charles Bovine issued
statement denying the county's method
of caring for paupers. At the last meet
ing of the Freeholders 1t was claimed that
the per capita cost OF maintaining paupers
was 65 2-3 cents day, In comparison with
the per capita cost at the insane asylum
adjoining, of 80 80 cents.
Steward Bovine called In auditors to go
over his records and says they found that
the cost per inmate per day was S23 cents
He says the books show that $4016.77 was
spent In 1912 for labor and supplies on the
poor farm and 1885 30 for labor and
supplies at the almshouse, total exr use
Of $16, 905 on. From the sale of produce
on the farm, q. 606s wasireceIved which
left 81, 208.16 as the amount received
from the county. The average number of

Children MUST Go no school.

The compulsory education law is to be
enforced In Mount Holly, and constable
Samuel K. Gaskill has been selected as the
truant officer. He began work last week
and his efforts were we'll rewarded. There
are large number of children in Mount
Holly who have not been in the habit of
attending school. The Board Of Educa-
ton did not make any special effort to
compel them to go, as there were not suf-
ficient accommodations for them.
But there Is now room for all and there
must be more attention paid to the law.
Children have been kept at home on vari-
GUS pretexts. Some have not had proper
clothing, others were without shoes, and
so on, yet the parents of these children
and frequently the children themselves
have been constant In attendance at the
moving picture shows, or the fathers are
often found spending money sufficient to
clothe the children on pleasures of various
kinds. There have been other excuses
In one case the guardians of some children
refuse to send the youngsters to school
because they are being taught at home.
In another case the guardians were not
satisfied with the manner In which the
school is conducted,
The parents evidently are not aware of
the scope of the law on the subject OF
compelling children to attend school. II
is very sweeping and 1t can be enforced tc
the sorrow of those who do not honor 1t.
In several of the counties of the state the
courts have special session which IL
termed Juvenile court" at which all
matters of truancy or neglect to attend
school are considered. If parent OF
guardian of child refuses to comply with
the law he may be taken before the court
In Middlesex county the court has gone
so far as to send offending parents to jai
until they agree to obey the law. In Mill
vile last week several parents were arrest
ed and taken before the Mayor who gave
them the privilege of sending the children
to school or taking punishment themselves
And the matter does not end there, fol
the parents are subject to fcontinued ar
rest If the practice Of disobeying the Law
goes on.
1t is to be hoped there will not be any
necessity for severe action In Mount Holly
Every parent should have the good of til,
children as well as of the town at heart
A new school house has been built a
great expense in order that children may
not grow up In ignorance. For every
child that goes to school the state allow
certain amount of money, ranging from
four cents per day up. There are at leas
100 children In this town who have no
been attending school. At four cents De
E day, allowing they all go to school, tn,
township would get $50 per week, or 81
per school month. This would mean 500
per year.
In any way you look at 1t the enforcing
: of the compulsory education law mus
o result 10 benefit not only to the chidre
who are now allowed to roam the street
and grow up in ignorance. but 1t will b
T of advantage to the taxpayers 1t Is to b

= in the proper light and not compel drastI
! measures to be taken.
