BOYS AT WORK
in GARDENS
A Lesson In Scientific Mana
agement

All people interested in the So
cial welfare of Newark should
take walk early in the morning
or after school hours to see the
healthy, self-respecting children,
who otherwise would be standing
around wasting time, at work on
the school gardens, south of the
Armory. The combined effort of
the Federal Government, the
local Board of Education, and
one of Newark's leading citizens
has made the work possible. Per-
haps the direct factor in the sue
cess of the work is the enthus-
iasm of the teacher in charge,
Miss Agnes Medill.
Last year Miss Medill found
that several of the children were
unable to accomplish much, ow-
ing to the poor ground which they
used. The handicap was report
ed and through the efforts of Mrs
L. B. Jacobs, chairman of the
Educational Committee of the
New Century Club, and the CO
operation of local members of the
Board of Trustees, the present
lot part of the college property
was secured for the purpose
Newark, indeed, has reason to bt
proud of the splendid work thu:
far accomplished.

Newark Boys Have Chance
For West Point Appointment

The recent bill to increase the
number of cadets at the U. S. Mil
ltary Academy at West Point,
passed by Congress on May 4th,
is of special interest to the young
men of Newark. According to the
new law three men are to be ap-
pointed by the governor from the
Organized Militia of each State,
the men to be between 10 and %
years OF age, and having had at
least one years service in the
Militia. l.. B. Jacobs, Captain of
Company E, has been requested
to recommend men from the local
company. The physical require
ments have been forwarded and
copies of previous examinations
given.
The men recommended by the
captains of the various compan-
les will be given an examination
at Washington on June 5th, after
which the final appointments will
be made. This method of pro.
viding more officers for the army
of Uncle Sam will be followed, il
it is believed, for at least four
years. The new law provides q
splendid opportunity for the am
bilious boy, without political in
fiuence, to wi ma place in one of
Uncle Sans academies.
