ton between man and man, SO that

ing recommendations:

intendent of Social Service shall work
in connection with other organiza.
tions. such as Woman's Club, Civic
Club, Y. NJ. c. A., Y. w. c. A., W. G.
T. u, the Salvation Army, and the
Anti-Saloon League.
Second-That we bring every in.
f1uence to bear to enforce the obser.
n of the child labor law.
Third-That the Social Service
superintendent give especial attention
to the enforcement of the compulsory
school law, thereby saving the chill,
dren from the communicating iniu,
ences of the street, and preparing
them for useful citizenship instead OF
wards in our state prisons.
Fourth-Urge your town council to
appoint some one to act as humane
officer, mercifully regulating the treat.
ment of dumb animals and helpless
humanity.
Fifth-We do earnestly recommend
the use OF the Bible in the public

members to use their influence with
their board of education and the trus-
tees of the schools to endeavor to EN-
ploy as teachers only those who are
in sympathy with this movement.

be incorporated in the report this
