HARVEST FESTIVAL
AIDS ALL SOULS
Largest Amount Of EdibIes Ever
Contributed to Hospital.

The second annual Harvest Day"
Hospital was brought to a close at
Mt. st. Michaels Monday night.
1t is most gratifying to note, as
tribute to the generosity of the peo-
pie of this part of Morris county, that
this Harvest" far surpassed that of
last year. The spacious dining rooms
and parlors of Mt. st. MichaePs being
all too small to hold the tons of pro-
visions which were sent in from the
different branches of the Auxiliary in
Morristown, Madison, Dover and Nor
ris Plains, besides the spaces allotted
for the Public and Parochial Schools
of Morristown, ST. Mary's School, Do
ver st. Vincent's School, Madison
and ST. Virgil's School, Morris Plains,
each of which made a most creditable
showing.
One might well imagine himself in
the well filled stores of first class
grocery when he viewed the seeming
endless quantity of packages of GER
eals, cocoa, tea, Coffee crackers, mac
aroni, ETC., dozens of cans of soups,
peas, corn, tomatoes and other yege-
tables, hundred of glasses and jars of
jelly and preserved fruits, while bar
rels of sugar, flour, potatoes and APP
pies seemed almost too numerous to
count, strips of bacon and numerous
hams were also seen in abundance;
in fact nothing was overlooked by the
generous donors; even the humble
but useful clothes pin being in evi-
dence. Included also in the "Har
vest" were many large checks and
cash donations.
The Ladies' Auxiliary feels deeply
grateful to the many friends of All
Souls who have responded so gener-
ously to its efforts in behalf of this
worthy charity.
A reception was held during the
three days of the Exhibit and the
members of the Auxiliary served re-
freshments to all who called during
that time.

much interested in corn growing and
industrial contests in the schools,
presided at the exercises in the af
ternoon. DR.. Kendall, who .was the
first speaker, congratulated the coun-
ty on its successful contest and said
that because of the increase in the
country's population it had become
necessary to conserve and develope
the raw material. 1t had been dis
covered, he said, that demonstrative
education had become a thing of
the past and conductive education
was the vital part of the school work
in these times. He said the only
way to keep the children on the farm
was to teach farming in the schools
Senator Frelinghuysen spoke on
the excellent work that was being
accomplished in the county schools
as evidenced by the exhibits and pre-
dicted that Morris would soon be-
with Atlantic and Middlesex and the
other leaders in industrial work.
Assistant Commissioner Carris re-
iterated much that Commissioner Ken
dali had said adding that culture and
utility go together and it was nee
essary to educate the boys and girls
along the line of their ability, that
is, in things they can do. He said
too much credit could not be given
County Superintendent Hulsart and
some of the teachers for the work
that had been accomplished He
closed with a brief sketch of the vo-
cational board of education idea. The
board is county board appointed by
the county Judge and financed by
taxes to the extent of half its ex-
penses, the state supplying the bal
ance. The county superintendent is
a member ex-oficio of the board and
one of its principal duties is to con-
duct contests.

needlework, 211; cooking, 102; hand
work, 1873; lunch box packing, 5, and

basket making and sewing.
DR.. McAlpin had an exhibit of poul-
try, flowers, vegetables and corn and
a calf. The calf and poultry will be
