An Instructive Address

The address of Charles A. Wagner,
State Commissioner of Schools in Della
ware. before the Teachers Association
of Salem county, in Penns Grove High
School building last Saturday night, was
very thoughtful and instructive. He
said the old conception of education was
to give information and a preparation
for life, but the present conception is
that education is continuous and an ad-
justment TO the ever changing conditions
of environments and new occasions.
There is no such condition as learning a
thing once for all, because it may be oh,
solete in a few years. The spiritual
energy underlying all material things is
from an infinite mind beyond our CON
ceptien, and it is only partially realized
as use is made of it. We do not realize
the purpose of our creation. We are
given certain powers and capacities and
it is our duty to bear the responsibility
placed upon us.
Because of the snow storm only a hun
bred heard the excellent address,
THE SPELLING CONTEST
in the afternoon occupied two hours and
two hundred and fifty heard it. The
words were given by County Superin-
tendent H. C. Dixon. The prizes were
won as follows:

fOFcible Sermons and Lively Music

The services have been well attended
during the past week and manifestations
of the Holy Spirit moving the people
have been numerous. The storm last

THE CHORUS CHOIR
which fills most of the 300 chairs at all
services is not the least attractive feature
of the services, together with the lively
music. Putting a new SONG on the
tongues of old as well as young is creating
a God-spirit sentiment in the minds of
many which will never be forgotten.
The singing by Miss Hosford, Miss Har-
ris and Mr.. Storrs are as impressive as
sermons preached.

Thomas Jefferson

was born April Is, 1743. One hundred
years ago he was President. A great
wal was then being carried on against
Napoleon Bonaparte in Europe. because
of his democratic ideas. He abolished
the Spanish Inquisition of religious
prosecution. He destroyed feudalism
wherein men of different social castes
were judged by different laws and made
the code of Napoleon for rich and poor
to be judged by. Greater pressure was
brought to bear for the United States to
help France than is being made at pres
ent. In his third annual message to
Congress he said
Let us bow with gratitude to that
kind Providence which guarded us from
hastily entering into the sanguinary
contest between France and England"
France had helped the United States
gain independence but it was then and
continues now our national policy to
avoid entangling alliances with foreign
natlons' 80
A POLITICAL DEMOCRACY
Jefferson was the author of the De-
claration of Independence. 1t was largely
due to his influence that the first
amendments were made to the Constitu-
ton which insured the people freedom
of religion, freedom of speech and of the
press. Jefferson said
Where the press is free and every
man able to read. all is safe
The editor must have the information
and the back bone and nerve to tell the
truth or the people will never get it to
read.
SOCIAL DEMOCRACY
The social democracy in the United
States is made in the public schools. first
conceived and advocated by Jefferson.
He said in 1886:
Preach a crusade against ignorance;
establish and improve the law for educat,
ing the common people,"
RELIGIOUS DEMOCRACY
What means the building of taber-
nacles in many cities all over the ma
ton and the union of all religious sects
in one service to worship God, the spirit
ual Jehovah of the Jews. as incarnate in
Jesus of Nazareth? 1t means the break
ing down of religious caste and prejudice
of sects and the creating of religious
democracy as we have political and So
cial democracy in our constitutions,
schools and universities. Jefferson said
IF thinking men would have the cour-
age to think for themselves. and to speak
what they think, it would be found that
they do not differ in religious opinions
as much as is supposed. l con-
slider religion a supplement to law in the
government of men. 1t is the manner
and spirit of the people which preserves
a republic in'vigor.'
