The total number of voters In thls
city who qualified to vote at the gen
eral election on November by regis
tering on one of the registration days,
is 555S, the largest registration yet re-
corded in the histiry If the city.
Leaders of both parties declare that
the large registration makes more GER
tain victories for their respective can
didates. Although the registration is
regarded as large it did not come up
to the expectations of many polltlcal
leaders who estimated that the TO-
tai wiuld reach the 5000 mark.
When asked this morning What ne
thought of this years registration
Mayor Dorsey said:
THE large registration yesterday m
dicates the great interest that IS pc
ing taken in the election this yea, ana
l am absolutely positive that 1t means
| a tremendous majority for all the
Democratic candidates this Fail.
The personal liberty issue mas
| aroused the people as they have never
| been stirred before and they are sure

merous friends of County Clerk Gan
| non have rallied to his support in an
| effort to show that they resent the
| slanderous statements that have been
| directed against him. Likewise, the
people want change In the locaI

CHILD KILLED BY AUTO BUS; DRIVER UNDER ARREST
Teaches Men To Talk English
In One Short Lesson Here At
Amencdnizdti0n MeetinQ

new sentences had been learned, used
them in sentences and added the sen
tenceS to the ones which ha been
learned before. At the end of the first
part of the lesson, the men could re-
peat the entire process of awakening,
getting out of bed, dressing, washing
and going down stairs.
The second part of the lesson con-
sisted of reading-familiariz the
men with the characters of the words
they had learned to repeat.
The third part-writing-
of copying the sentences they had
used, from small charts, in script.
The fourth part was a review of
the entire lesson.
The fifth, grammar practice, a
simple drill, repeating in this case
the declension of the pronoun "I'
time and time again and substituting
them in the sentences learned in the
lesson.
1t was source of great surprise
to all present to realize, at the end
of the lesson, how much these men
had actually learned. Through it all
DR.. Roberts had practiced untiring
patience and cheerfulness$ Rand acted
each word and sentence he taught
the men.
The paraphernalia for q lesson
like this Is very simple. A chart
with the sentences a booklet with
the instructions for teaching, and the
lesson in script for copying. When
such lesson as this Is used 1t is well
to have a miniature bed with a doll
in it for demonstrating each action.
At all times, DR.. Roberts insisted,
patience and cheerfulness and sym
pathy are absolutely essential before
such class is undertaken.
The demonstration WAS well at
tended by the teachers, principals,
librarians, executives of the various
plants and represen tatives from many
of the clubs. The doors between the
three meeting rooms at the Y. M. c.
A. were thrown open. Every chair
was taken and there were many
standing up.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-10-22

DR.. Peter Roberts, whose name Is
an institution in Americanization
work, gave a practical demonstration
of his method of teaching English to
foreigners, at the Y. M. c. A. last
night. DR.. Roberts who came to this
country a number of years ago. a
Welsh immigrant, knows every need
of these people and can appreciate
their condition when they come to this
country unaccustomed to way doing
things, wholly ignorant of our Ian
guage In his method of teaching them
English language, he takes these in
to consideration and works upon a
principle always keeping these facts
in mind. The same method is used
teaching child to speak-training
its vocal and auditory organs and at
tience.
Last night DIR. Roberts had a class
of employees from the Raritan Copper
Works with which to demonstrate.
These men were all foreigners, some
lish language. others who could speak
1t a very little. The italian, Slovak,
Polish, Hungarian and Magyar, were
represented IN this class and were a
fair example Of the kind of men those
undertaking to teach DR.. Roberts
method have to deal with.
DR.. Roberts dwelt upon the fact
that at all times teacher must have
patience and sympathy-withou
these there can be no success
The lesson demonstrated last night
was getting UP In the morning"
He first gave them the words
awake, open. find, see." having the
men repeat them after him until they
were familiar with all the sounds and
the order so that they could repeat
, them without his help. He then took
sentences, containing these words: II
awake from 'eep," IT open my eyes, y
II look for my watch,I see what time
1t is," and repeated them again with
the men until they could say them
in their correct order by themselves
He added words each time q group OF

ROSSNER IN
ANOTHER
N|SHAP
Local Man Whose Bus Killed
Resident Here Has Accident
Near Rarltan Arsenal at Bon
hamtoWn.<

Margaret Fodor, q nine-year-old
school girl of Meadow Road, Mill
Vile, was fatally injured at TAO
o'clock this morning when she step
trolley car at Bonhamtown directly
into the path of an auto bus driven
by Charles Rossner Of this city The
injured child was placed in the bus
and rushed to the post hospital at
the Raritan Arsenal, where she was
attended by Major Kraft, but died
about fifteen or twenty minutes af-
ter being admitted to the hospital.
The Fodor girl In company with
Helen Svur were on their way to the
school at Bonhamtown and left the
trolley car In front of the school
building. The dead child was the
first to alight from the car and pass
ed behind the vehicle to cross the
street AS she stepped from behind
the car the bus, which was going in
the direction of New Brunswick,
struck her The Svur girl has in
formed Detective Ferguson of the
prosecutors office at New Brunswick
that she was the last to leave the
car and called to Margaret to be
careful as the jitneys were coming.
The accident was reported to the
prosecutors office by Coroner William
F. Harting of New Brunswick and De-
tective Ferguson was sent to the scene
of the accident to investigate and ar
rest Rossner, who had been detained
at the post hospital. The only wit
ness to the accident who has so far
been discovered by the detective is
the Svur girl, although 1t is under
stood that other persons saw the af-
fair and will be looked up today.
Rossner claims that he was fonly
running at ten miles per hour when
the bus struck the child and that he
was able to stop the~ear within five
feet after the girl had been hit He
is badly broken up over the affair and
will be arraigned before Judge DAILY
this afternoon on the charge of man
slaughter.
Rossner is now out on $4,000 bail
to await the action of the grand jury
on the charge of manslaughter, his
bus having struck and killed Mike
Turnay, twenty-three years old, of
Hopelawn, on October II.
