TELLS
Of SCHOOL WORK
State School Superintendent
Has Message on Opening of
Fall Term War Education

/ III Special correspondent
TRENTON. Sept. z:-In a letter
he has just sent to all the school
officials and teachers throughout the
state. which was made public here
today, Commissioner of Education
| Calvin N. Kendall congratulates them
upon two things at the beginning of
a new school year. First, the splendid
response of the American people to
the unprecedented demands of the
present crisis is due in a considerable
degree to the public schools, DR..
Kendall declares. He continues that
the comparative facility with which
ar immense army has been develop
ed; the adoption OF our industries for
the supply of the large amount of
material necessary to carry on the
war; the organization of agencies for
the relief of. the needy and the suffer-
ing and the vast amounts of money
voluntarily raised for their support;
the devotion of-our people to the
ideals of democracy: the readjust-
ment of the common lives of men and
women to meet new conditions-all
of this is great achievement, to which
the schools have made no small con-
tribution.
Secondly, he con~gratuiates them
upon what has been dom in the
schools in carrying on the various
war activities. These, he asserts, to
enumerate only a few of them, the
Red Cross. war gardens. farm work.
the succor Of French and Belgian
children, thrift stamps. b conserva-
ton Of food, have called u new eff
forts on the part Of both teachers and
pupils.
ut is nothing new to say that In
terest in the war should be capital
lied to make geography and history
interesting" declares the commits
sioner. THE map of Europe should
be In constant evidence. The loca-
tion Of b-eiiigerent nations and neu-
trail nations, with their respective re-
sources. should be known to pupils.
Much of the conventional geography
may be laid aside. for the time being.
for larger and more timely values.
The achievements of France and
England In restraining Germany IN
the earlier stages of the war should
be clearly understood by pupils. The
causes which impe1led this country
to enter the war should be 50 well
understood by ali pupils that they
may be stated with ~clearness. The
unparalleled achievements in trans
porting great armies and vast supplies
across the sea should be q theme of
patriotic discussion
I'VE need not only better medical
inspection, but more school nurses"

Councilman Shuey not having been
present at the last meeting when Mr..
Hackett's resolution was amended, be-
came enlightened of this fact in Coun-
Gilman Hackett's remarks, and there
by changed his mind, to vote against
the proposition as the other members
of the council had not accepted the
original resolution.
Mayor Kerr stated that. in his
opinion. this land was the best site for
the erection for a new home for the
aged. as gas. water and sewer were
all available. He declared also that

being executed and that assertions of
this, kind reflects upon the good name

GtahNCt Aob-
Your letters received, the last three
you have written arriving at the
same time, making a total of four let
ters 1 have received from you. 1 also
received a letter from Austin a day
or two ago. He is in good health ard
evidently is none III worse Tor ms
trip. 1t is a consolation to know that
as long as he had to come over that
markabIe hat the United States has
had such great success In transport
ing troops across the pond.
Tell Dad not to- be in any hurry
about making up his mind to come
over after the war because conditions
here are very uncertain and IL is very
hard to secure necessities outside OF
what the army furnishes,
Many things are not to be had n
what can be procured are very ex-
lpensive. For instance. II you want
writing paper Common. oro'1ary pau
paper) you have to pay at least SIX
times as much as you do in h States.
THE price of everything Is outrageous
and the Yankee is darn fool enough
to pay II.
don't remember how many letters
IL have written so ! can't exactly
number them.
The Americans ave accomplished
great work the past two weeks. Az
ter a recent battle an American re-
marked that this was a II or a
war, but IL was the only one we had.
At the same time I received your
letters I also received my pay and be-
Iieve me the letters were more well
come than the honey and that APP
plies TO any news from the states.
Austin must be in a different sec
ton of the country. SC / don't imagine
THAT I will see him soon unless we
inject accfdently. I do not know

where I am so you see the position
