BOATS FOR SCHOOL "KIDs"
Thousands Of Children to Edu-
cate Them.

Buenos Aires.-The Argentine gov
eminent has solved the problem of
providing education for the floating
population along the delta of the La
Plata river with school boats. These
floating schools go from point to point
along the La Plata and It's tribu-
%taries, changing the roll of students
as the school steams to new territory
along the waterfront.
In addition to saving thousands Of
dollars in the annual expenses of the
department of education, it is Off
cially reported that education is now
being brought to thousands Of Ar
g~entipe children who were previously
without any scholastic attention what
soever
Each schoolship consists Of double
deck sections devoted to the higher
and lower classes; while a terrace and
private apartments for the teaching
staff form the superstructure. The
ships have a capacity of two hun
dred pupils each. They are absolutely
health assuring, and their value in
meeting the peculiar difficulties on
fronting the education department
in the La Plata delta is considerable.
Indeed their Gee has been such
that a number of additional school
ships for other waterfront districts
are now In course of construction.

CIVIL SERVICE ON ROADS.
Colonel Stevens Thinks That is the
Best Way to Avoid Politics in
Highway RuiIdinn-

Colonel Edwin A. Stevens, Stats
Road Commissioner, has proven to
the politicians that he will have moth
ing to do with politics where the
work of roads is concerned, and in the
last year he has in some instances alb
solutely refused to name men for of
hce on roads in accordance with the
wishes of even the men with whom
he is closely affiliated in politics. Col
onel Stevens says that road work is
for the whole people and politics
should have no bearing on it. His
very latest idea to circumyent the
politician who would displace capable
men for political fayorities is to rec
ommend that everybody working on
roads should he under civil service.
His attitude has not been pleasing to
many of the high officials in his own
party, and in fact it has not pleased
the Democratic State Committee, but
the colonel places ahead of their
schemes the good of roads.
Changes in Personnel.
"The political changes due to the
last election" he says, seem likely
to entail changes in the personnel of
the road officials in several counties.
Where the present officials in charge
have shown themselves competent
and efficient in the discharge of their
duties, the department of public roaas
has, without any reference 20 politi-
cal affiliations, expressed itself, wher-
ever consulted, in favor of the reten-
ton OF these officials. This attitude
has been taken in pursuance of the
policy / have tried to carry out of tax
ing road matters out of politics. 1t
seems, however, impossible under
present poiIlical conditions to prevent
the Boards of Freeholders from max
ing changes for party reasons. The
pressure on the members of the
boards is such that it is very difficult,
if not impossible, to resist. 1t will
necessarily take some time before the
new officials, no matter how capable
they may be, can reach the efficiency
OF the men they displace, and, during
that time, the condition of the roads
is bound to suffer to a greater or less
extent. Even with anew official who
understands the details of road build
ing, it is necessary that he should
learn the methods of doing business
with the State, most of which are set
by statute and can not be dispensed
with. l feel that the only remedy for
this is the suggestion l have made in
my annual report that the county en-
gineers and supervisors of roads
should hold Office under the civil ser
vice regulations"

Advice to Fruit Growers.

AOViCS 10 FTult
President Joseph Barton told the
horticulturists. at their recent conven-
ton in New Brunswick, that the pos
sibilities for the fruitgrower, with the
great, market right at the door of the
State, are almost unlimited. Tha
same thing may be said of vegetables.
Yet men "go West" and pay fancy
prices for farm land, when they can
do so much better right at home.
Some of the money that is being spent
in the interests of agriculture should
be devoted to making known the ad-
vantages offered by this State. There
are thousands of acres of land that
can, by intelligent cultivation, be
made to yield profitable crops, which
will find ready sale to nearby con-
sumers. No other section of this coun-
try has anything on New Jersey in the
agricultural line, except possibly in
the way of grain in the West, and
early fruits and vegetables in the
South.

thing greater than happiness in the

those about us, and that is largely to
