Gradually the modern schools of
today have displaced the old-fashion-
ed ones and the teachers rule with
love instead of the rod. The build
ings are arranged for every con-
venience and comfort of the child
and education of mind, heart and
hand is universal. The motto of
the school is: Train them to be
good citizens" and no expense is
spared by most communities to de-
velop the highest and best in every
child. .-r
Today we can point with pride
at the beautiful school grounds and
buildings of Monroe City: Here is
truly a home for any child where
under efficient instructors the child
develops morally, mentally and
physically. A manual training
room for the boys; cooking and
sewing for the girls, fit them for
the ordinary duties of life. While
those who intend doing professional
work normal department under
an able instructor fits them for
teaching. Time was when girl
no matter how incapable, went
forth to the rural districts with a
high school diploma and practiced
on the poor innocent children until
she became experienced" Now
this desired experience is obtained
under efficient teachers and our
system of rural schools is vastly
improving
Vacation will soon be over and
parents who intend sending their
children to High School should
send them to the best, not only
in educational lines but also where
the environment is such as to bring
out the best moral instincts OF
the child. Parents, send your chill
dren to Monroe City and you'll
never regret your choice. Our able
Superintendent, Prof. Boucher. is at
present equipping himself further
for the coming year by attending
Columbia University summer school.
The motto of the school is: "Ex-
celsior" and they hope each year to
more and more attain to the high
est possible human ideals perfect
men and perfect women.

we fly to heaven.
Looking backward over a span
of three hundred years we see our
puritan forbears making many sac
Fifices in order that their offspring
might have better education than
themselves. Not only did they
contend with lack of means, but
also inexperienced teachers and
lack of equipment. Their schools
were usually kept in log cabins
where the pupils sat on benches
and conned their lessons, so that a
school resembled a bee hive with
its continual buzz. The, te cher
was usually a master who had a
Ong ferule and did not consider his
duty done until each urchin had one
or more floggings every day.
The master" usually had enough
education to teach the three RS
"readin, ritin' and 'rithmetic'
and was cOnsideredsH man of su-
preme importance in the communi-
ty. His compensation was very
small and the people of the dee.
strick" took turns in boarding him
to help meet his expenses. He

did other little odd jobs when he
could get them.
Then there were the grammar
schools where Grammar and
Latin were the principle studies
and many lad of ten was at that
day and age studying Latin who
today is still struggling with an
ordinary language book.
In 1885 these brave pioneers de-
cided they must have a college and
Harvard College was founded. so
named from the Rev. John Harvard
who bequeathed to it his small
library.
AS the years rolled on the other
colonies became imbued with this
desire for learning and one by one
established schools and colleges.
In these days it was much easier
to organize a "deestrick" in the
North than in the South, as the
people lived mostly in cities or on
small farms. But the Southern peo-
pie dwelt on large plantations and
so school was impossible. Not to
be outdone by their Northern breth-
rem, they hired private teachers for
their children or else sent them to
the famous seats of learning in
England.
Then comes the history of the
spellin' bee and rithmetic matches
from which many a happy marri-
age resulted from the pleasant So
cial intercourse as well as training
along educational lines these af-
forded.

DRAW PLANS FOR
TROLLEY LINE
FOR ROOSEVELT.
viii be Trolley Spur Connect
ing Woodbridge and Roose-
welt in Near Future, Public
Service Official Said Today.

There will be trolley spur con-
Meeting Woodbridge with the bor-
ough- of Roosevelt in the near Iuture,
it was learned today on highest au-
thority from the Public Service>~br-
poration. 1t is almost certain that
work on the line will be started this
summer or next fall.
John O'Toole, publicity manager
of the corporation, stated this morn
ing that plans are. actually being
drawn Tor the proposed short line,
and though he declared that it had
positively been decided to put the
spur through, he SAID that it might
not be until fall, or even next year
when actual work in preparing the
roadbed and tracks is begun,
For several years people of Roose-
welt have been agitating a trolley
connection between that borough
and Woodbridge, which would allow
them to board a car that would bring
them to this city to shop. At present
there are no convenient facilities for
getting from that borough to this
city, and very poor means of getting
in and out of the largest part of the
borough to go to any place.
Connect With Fast Line.
The proposed spur would connect
by trolley the Chrome and Carteret
sections of Roosevelt with this city,
Woodbridge, Newark and other
places. 1t would start at the head
of Carteret avenue. 1t is believed
though the definite route has not
positively been decided. 1t is thought
the short line will begin at the head
OF Carteret avenue in Woodbridge
township, connecting with the Perth
Amboy Newark fast line, which was
put in operation, following the COM
pletion of the Sewaren spur From
the head of Cartefet avenue, the
spur wiz ,G""hahlw closely follow the
avenue, and terminate - Carteret
and Woodbridge avenues, Chrome
Later such line might be extended
to Carteret, The present proposed
line WOULD be three-quarters OF a
mile LONE II Is understood the
Pubic Service has already gained
permission from the Central rail-
road for crossing the companys
tracks, and that this, which at Fl st
proved handicap, Is no longer an
objection.
According to a franchise given by
the Canda Realty Company to the
Pubic Service to allow of the con
struction Of the Sewaren spur for its
fast line, the Public Service Is declar-
ed to have agreed to build the spur
which now is assured The spur
would materially increase the value
of the Canda property. and mean in
estimable gain to the merchants OF
Perth Amboy in providing a new lu-
crative shopping field from which to
draw customers.
