Little Stories of New Jersey
BY ARTHUR E. WARMER.

Tho Morris Canal Was Result of Fish
i'm Trip.
Interest is at present directed to-
ward the Morris Canal, which has APP
parently outgrown its usefulness, and,
If present. indications are correct will
some day be abandoned This water
work, once important IN the develop
ment of Northern New Jersey, re-
suited from the chance observations
taken during a fishing trip to Lake
Hopatcong by George P. MacCul-
Tough, of Morristown, and party OF
friends. nearly a century ago.
Mr.. Mccullough conceived the plan
of constructing a dam across the out
let of the lake, which is fed princi-
pally by the Musconetcong River. He
saw that by this, the waters of the
Rockaway River could be utilized in
the eastern part of the State as far as
Newark. The plan was formulated
and presented to the proper authori-
ties of New Jersey. In 1892 the Legis-
lature appointed George mccullough,
Charles Kinsey and Thomas Capner
as commissioners TO Investigate mat
ters connected with the survey of a
route and ascertain the probable cost
of the project, The route was selected
by aior Ephraim Bach, and on De-
cember 81, 1924, the Morris Canal and

Phillipsburg to Newark, but four
years later the charter was so
amended as to authorize the extern
sion of the waterway to the Hudson
River,
This was before the days of rail-
road in that section. and even with
the powers of a monopoly which were
granted the venture seemed particu-
larly hazardous. In order to attract
capital the State exempted the canal
and its property from taxation. No
other water communication across the
State was to be allowed for ten miles
north OF south of the canal. This was
to give the corporation power to eX-
tend feeders into the surrounding
country.
The geographical conditions made
the engineering problem exceedingly
difficult. From Newark to Lake Ho-
patcong there was a rise of 800 feet,
while from the lake to Phillipsburg
there was further ascent of $50 feet,

Miss Ella Frances Lynch in Pic
torial Review gives many reasons for
her lack of belief In the present pub
lie school system. Among other
things she offers the following sug
gestions for regular studies.
In English use the Autobiography
of Benjamin Franklin and make 1t a
textbook from which many morals
may be drawn. This in the hands
of a good teacher can be the basis
for talks on waste, expenditure and
economy in practical matters, on
gas, coal, foods, etc. The silks and
Satins'' proverb will give opportunity
for sensible talks on sensible clothing,
and on the vital matter of living
within ones income. Such work will
require a teacher of experience, judg-
ment and much wisdom, such teach
ers as we sorely need. Fine charac-
ters in literature and in history
Great problems of community good
should be discussed informally, the
need for clean streets, for protection
against contagion, the proper disposal
of house waste. AS these children
have had a thorough training IN liter
allure they can take it in stiff doses
and enjoy it. 1.-THE Merchant of
Venice" 1.-THE Tale of Two Cities,
'Eivangeline''-if they have not al
ready had this great poem, may be
mentioned as examples. The spelling
lesson and the use of the dictionary
will in this year, and in every other,
occupy a good part of the time given
to English. The child can use a die
tionary before the age of ten years.
One hour a day should be given to
each of two great subjects, English
and mathematics. One hour daily
may also be given to history and
geography, and this should include
map drawing, neatly and exactly done
as much for the trsinmG in work
manship as for the purpose of fasten-
ing the facts in the memory. The re-
naming hour daily will be given to
physics and chemistry as indicated, to
mechanical drawing, to natural
sciences-and to the subjects sug-
gested by community requirements,
which may well include all the
science taught.
spent in active, useful employment.
Every town and city will have to
solve its own particular employment
problem. In some cities they have al
ready done it, and done it well.
The boy or girl who leaves school

better rational system, possess the

In August, 1881, | had the oppor-
tunity while attending a Democratic
State convention at Lynchburg, Va,
owing to an adjournment over one
day to visit Appomattox Court House,
The little village stands about four
miles northeast of the railroad sta
ton. The station itself was hardly
more than shed, the sort of station
where a passenger expects to flag a
train, there being not enough busi-
ness for the employment of a ticket
seller.
To get to Appomattox Court House
entailed a walk through the woods CT
about four miles. since there were no
conveyances. That fact of itself was
sufficient to demonstrate that the
tremendous historic associations of
the village were at that time not sufti-
cient to attract many visitors.
Sixteen years before that path
through the woods had been filled
with Union soldiers. 1t was along
that path that General Grant rode
on his way to AppomattoX Court
House from the railroad station. In
fact, he rode it twice, for he had WIS.,
tied the village the day before the
terms of surrender were agreed upon.
On the day when / walked over this
path the quiet was almost that or

The first building seen at the end
of the four-mile walk was the little
red brick house, which stood perhaps
hundred feet back from the road,
in the front room of which General
Grant and General Lee met to ar
range upon the terms of surrender.

mattox Court House to the house Of
Mr. Todd, which stood about half
way between the red brick house just
mentioned and the apple orchard,
under whose trees General Lee and
his staff sat when the flag of truce
went out.
Mr.. Todd said to me: 81 know that
it is the common impression that
General Grant and General Lee met
for the first time in the Mclean house,
where the terms of surrender were
agreed upon. Yet / am confident that
this is a mistaken impression.
