and the plan was laid upon the shelf,

in which they were engaged. some of
them. perhaps many. possessing real

HERE'S A PROPOSITION
FOR WORLD IMPROVEMENT.

FOR WORLD IMPROVEMENT.
Universal education Is the hope of
the world. 1t will abolish war. estab-
lish prosperity. and make reality of
the dreams of present day idealists.
Back in 1908, citizen of Portland,
Or, who Is now residing temporarily
at Elko, conceived a university extern
sion plan. by which tens of thousands
OF working men and women, boys and
girls, who cannot attend school, would
be given an opportunity to obtain a
liberal education. including training in
various specialties. such as advertis-
ing. craftsmanship, mining. electrical
engineering, and many other things
now taught successfully by mail
The Elko mans plan required. in
brief, an adequate endowment, to
make it financially Independent. This
foundation would establish at Wash
ington a great correspondence school,
called the American University. to
serve in lieu of a real great National
university. The various courses of in
struction were TO be offered TO every
person free OF all cost, except postage.
The tuition and textbooks would be
free, the latter being returned when
the courses were finished.
The institution was to have its own
printery; equipped to publish the in
struction papers, books and bulletins.
Classes in the various courses were
TO be organized all over the country,
through the cooperation of civic Or
CARNATIONS and labor unions. The
chief instructors in the more import
ant branches of study, such as elev
trlcal science, higher mathematics,
etc, were to be men and women of
worldwide reputation whose heart-in-
terest in humanity and civilization
would constrain them to volunteer
their services in supervisory ca
pacity.
Such. in brief, was the idea. The
plan was worked out in detail and
then was laid before Senator Elihu
Root. who was then Secretary of State.
He was requested to examine the plan
and present IL, with whatever sugges.
ton he might care to make, to Mr.
Andrew Carnegie. the irOnmaster
philanthropist, who was just then
scattering broadcast millions for mus.
ty libraries.
The idea was submitted TO Senator
Elihu Root, because of his intellectual
superiority, and especially because of
the fact that he was the adviser. in
all philanthropic endCavOrs, of Mr.,
Carnegie.
A month later the Elko man was
pleased to receive letter from Mr..
Root in which he evlnced genuine en-
thusiasm for the plan, declaring that
1t met with his heartiest endorsement,
and promising that he would submit
the scheme TO Mr.. Carnegie at the
first opportunity. He evidently did so,
but three months later came a letter
from another source. which, for OBJ
vious reasons, cannot be quoted, stat
ing that the plan reflected great credit
upon it's authors intelligence and hui
name regard for the improvement of
society, but 1t was evidently impraC.
ticable because II would inevitably
conflict and compete with various pri-
vate correspondence schools and with
the beneficent work of the Y. NJ, c. a.

BANK STATEMENTS
INDICATE PROSPERITY.

In this issue of The Pleasantville
Press appear the statements of the
banks at the close of business on May
1st, as per the call of the Government
and State officials. Since the last
preceding call of March 7th, the two
local banking institutions-The First
National Bank of P~leasantville and
the Pleasantville Trust Company
have not only held their but each
of them shows increases in total re-
sources. This is an exceptional show
ing in view of the fact that the First
National Bank of Absecon has now
been doing business nearly two
months, and their first statement pub
lished today shows deposits of nearly
$4,000 and resources of more than
$4,000. All of which goes to prove
that there is ample room for two
banks here and for a third one in our
sister city of Absecon.

ENOCH MARTIN KILLED
BY ELECTRIC TRAIN

When the 9 o'clock Philadelphia ex-
press on the Pennsylvania Electric
was nearing the second crossing
above the Pleasantville Cemetery
Sunday night, Motorman Charles Lee
saw a man a short distance away sit
ting on one of the cattle guards along
side the rails. Lee blew the whistle
several times in quick succession, but
the man failed to move. The motor
man then tried to stop his train, but
was unable to do so in time. The
step of the first car struck the man,
squatted by the side of the track, on
the head and knocked his brains out.
Lee brought his train to a stand
still and word was at once sent back
to the Pleasantville Station. Under
taker Parsels and others arrived on
the scene, and the dead man was iden-
tilted as Enoch Martin, a grave dig
ger in the Pleasantyille Cemetery,
who resided only a short distance
away. It was established that death
had been instantaneous.
Martin was thirty-five years OF age
and unmarried. 1t is believed that
the unfortunate man had fallen
asleep where he was struck.
