Educational Sunday

State Commissioner of Education Cal
win N. Kendall has addressed a letter tt
the clergy and people of the state re
questing them to observe Sunday, Sep
TENDER IL, as Educational Sunday. The
object of the day will be to impress up
on the citizens the greatness and i'm.
portance of the work of training the
young. The plan has received the APP
prevail of Governor Fielder. The, letter
follows:
At the beginning of another school
year it seems appropriate that day
should be set apart to impress all citi-
zens with the greatness and importance
OF the work of training the young. Our
schools, organized to do this training,
have become an effective instrument in
developing the spiritual, moral intel
lectual and physical natures of children
in order that they may live richer, fuller
lives and serve society and the state
more intelligently and effectively.
The vastness of this work becomes ap-
parent when it is remembered that more
than 600, 900 young people of New Jersey
will enroll in our public and private
schools during the month of September.
10 carry on SO great a work successfully
school teachers and officials need the
sympathetic and constructive support of
all men and women.
Public interest in education is great,
but it may be greater. What time
could be more fitting to increase this in
terest and to discuss one or more of the
numerous problems of education than
the beginning of the school year, and
what organized institution is more close
ly allied to the school than the church
| therefore earnestly recommend that
September II, be observed as
Educational Sunday, and cordially in
vite the clergy to unite with their con-
in service appropriate to the
greatness of the cause. On such an oc-
casion the worth of education might be
set forth, the need of cooperation of
home, school and church emphasized,
and the attention of parents called to
their own responsibility. Much as the
schools are doing and much more that
they might do to build up strong, robust |
character, the responsibility of parents
in the training of their own children |
should be emphasized. The home is a |
more fundamental institution than the |
school, great as the school is.
1t is hoped that the day, suitably OBJ |
served, may be of profit to boys and
5irls-the greatest of the potential assets
)f the state-to men and women, and !
also to the state itself, in whose funda-
mental law are these words implied:
THE Legislature shall provide for the ,
and support of thorough |
md efficient system of free public |
schools for the instruction of all the chill
iren in the state between the ages of
ind Is years.

Roebling.

: For having shot gun in his posses
sion, contrary to law, Alfred Sissession,
an unnaturalized, foreign born resident
of Roebling, was recently fined $23.50 by
Justice Fred FL. Schmelzeisen, on COM
plant made by Fish and Game Warden
Charles G. Morton.
That the Roebling Company intends
to keep out permanently the strikers
who went out recently is indicated by
the issuance of notices to all of them to
quit their home by August 81. All Of
the houses in the town are owned by the
corporation and are occupied by it:
employees. This will mean that out o
the LOG men who struck, So will have t.
leave them. Since the strike started ter
Of the men have returned. No effort il
being spared by the strikers to brinl
about a general wallxout of the employe
of the plants. The contention is pre-
sented that if the company is permitte'
to get away with the present cut il
wages without protest it will be en-
lcouraged later to make reductions with
out any notice whatsoever.

Summed up officials interpreted the
British order as meaning that without
enforcing a blockade on the German
ships anywhere ON the high seas, cargoes
destined for Germany would be taken
into prize courts for intermina BILE itiga-
ton. This would particularly affect the
shipment of cotton and other articles
hitherto listed as non-contra band and
would prevent ais, the importation Of
dNestuns from Germany, SO necessary for
American industries
Perhaps more dispensing to the official
than any other part of the British order
however. was its prohibitions on Amer
lean commerce consigned to neutral coun-
tries and suspected of enemy destination
1t is on this point that the United States
has engaged in volumious correspond
enCe ever sine" the outbreak of hostili-
ties. 1t constitutes the chief ground on
which the United States will insist on
the freedom of it's commerce from undue
interference.
Officials were undecided as to the de-
tails of the course which would be pur-
sued by the United states. but it was
Thought in some quarters the best policy
for the present would he to await an en-
forcement of the British order in spcci-
fic cases, making each one of these the
basis for vigorous protest. This was re-
garted as probable because of the lati-
tude which the British order itself i'm
plies in cases of cargoes plying between
neutral ports If proven not to be Of

As a measure of credit the actuaries
of the government have worked out
an estimate OF national wealth. 1t is
recognized that the ability of the vari-
Gus powers to pay interest ON the debt
created may determine now long the

ornamental revenues, over and above
actual necessities, appear to be all that
can reasonably be- expected to be APP
piled to the payment of interest ON
war debt. the credit or the nations at
