TO HONOR DR.. HERzL
At BETH MORCICAI
Dr.. Wilhelm and Dr.. RomanOff
to Deliver Memorial Address
at Tonight'S Services.

At tonight's service at 8 o'clock
the Zionists of Perth Amboy will
honor the memory of DR.. Theodore
Herzl at the Temple Beth Mordecai.
DR.. Wilhelm, the rabbi, of Beth Nor
decai, and DR.. Romanoff, the rabbi of
Shaari Tefillah, will deliver the me-
mortal addresses.
DR.. Herzl, the founder of Zionism,
as well as it's leading spirit was born
in Hungary. Though educated for
the legal profession at the Vienna
University, his gifted pen drew him
into literature and journalism. At
the time of the Dreyfus affair he
represented the Vienna "Neue Freie
Presse" in Paris. The "affair" and
the sufferings of the Jews in Russia
and Roumania made a deep impress
sion on him. Believing the only hope
for his prosecuted race lay in an au-
tonomous or at least free Jewish
territory, he returned to Vienna and
advocated his plan. Here he
became editor of the "Neue
Freie Presse." By his strong
personality he increased the ranks
Of his followers till he accomplished
his purpose of creating the Zionist
movement in the first Zionist con-
gress at Basel, Switzerland (1897)
On July 3, 1904, his many friends
and followers were shocked to hear
of his death. He died in the prime
of his life at the age of forty-six
That he did not live in vain is seen
in the ever-growing movement of
Zionism. That his memory will al
ways be cherished, by even those
who are not included in the sphere
of Zionism, is proved by the name Of
street in New York-Dr. Herzl
street.

Speaks Well of Prof. p. W.
Mitchell.

The editor of the Seymour Leader
visited the Seymour schools last
weeA, and makes mention of the work
of Prof. P. w. Mitchell, of Pleasan-
ton, who is in charge of the manual
training department. He says:
The writer visited the high school
Monday forenoon. The opening ex-
Fercises consisted of the some excel
lent music by the orchestra and de-
votional exercises by Revs. Clemens
| and Denny. We then visited the al
zebra class of Miss Reddick's, the
German class of Miss Michaels and
the English class of Mrs. Lennen's.
We then went to the manual train
ing department conducted by Mr..
Mitchell. Since this is a new feature
in the schools we wish to speak of it
at greater length. First the board
made no mistake when they obtained
Mr.. Mitchell's services. There are
% boys and girls enrolled in this
department. The class we saw at
work consisted of boys with one ex-
ception, and it did us good to see
how they took hold of their work
answered our questions. So far they
are doing only cabinet work, but
sometime during the year Mr.. Mitch
ell will introduce some other fea-
lures. The equipment is good and
substantial so far as it goes, but that
department as almost all other pars
of the school is inadequate for the
needs of the pupils. More room is
needed. The pupils are taught to
figure the bill of lumber required for
the article they are to make, then do
the work, including the vanishing.
They have been making foot stools,
music racks, tabourets, etc.
Supt. Heller and his corps of as
sistants throughout the schools are
putting forth their very best efforts
and we believe the board and the
people are taking very kindly to the

suggestions and plans that are being
set forth for the progress of the
schools. We are glad we took the
time for this visit and would suggest
that every man and woman, especial
ly every parent in the district, spend
some time, if ever so little, in seeing
at first hand what is being done for
their children.

last week the agency campus was get
ting $4,000 gallons daily When Mr..
Hayes was at the agency he found the
sprinklers all running and much wa
ter going to waste, outside OF what

From data prepared by Superin-

daily flow of water from the Thorn
Hollow system is 1.S9S,640 gallons.
This is the amount flowing each day
through the weir at the gate house.
The flow is much more than suffi-

extraordinary waste of water

Campus at Agency viii Not
be Irrigated While Supply
is Lou Says SwcrtzLander

In order TO avoid a controversy
with the city over the subject Of US
ing water at the agency Major E. S.
Swartzlander has stopped the irriga-
ton of the agency school campus and
says he will not use city water for
such purpose while the supply is low.
The irrigation at the agency was
stopped Saturday evening but it was
found this morning that the shutofi
at the agency reservoir had not been
properly closed with the result the
reservoir was overlooking and flood
ing the road by the Kirkpatrick place
The trouble was corrected this morn
ing according to Major Swartzlander.
Major Swartzlander now admits
the irrigation of the agency campus
was consuming more water than he
realized. From some tests he made
yesterday he believes that the water
ing of the lawns was taking about
10000 gallons a day.

will swing Greece into the conflict

King Constantine and the Crown
