Editor Benjamin Patterson, of the
Monitor-Register, preached a practical
sermon on the effect of the Church as
a social force, in the Methodist Church
at Harrisonville, last Sunday, Rev.
Churchill being away on his honey
moon. He showed that the efforts of
all other social forces such as public
schools would be nullified by under
mining influences in the communities
if it were not for the Church. He be-
rated the dissertation of the Sabbath
and the tendency toward liberalism
in New Jersey.

Continuation Schools and Problems 0
Democracy

~
The Rutgers Summer Session of
1920 is endeavoring to meet the pres
ent needs of the New Jersey school
systems. Not only are more courses
offered than usual but the effort is be-
ing made to equip teachers to COM
mand higher salaries. In the Direc-
tors statement covering summer
schools and the teaching profession the
following appears: "Tbe teacher in
service and the prospective teacher
may rest assured that every dollar
spent in professional improvement will
in the next few years bring satisfac-
tory returns" Teachers of New Jer-
sey have in many instances been as
sured that every hour of professional
improvement will be rewarded i'm
m~ediately. More teachers than usual
from high schools are enrolling.
Aside from the usual courses which
are offered in the summer school
special emphasis is given this year to
work in Continuation Schools, prob
lens of American democracy, ad-
vanced courses in home economics,
courses in science, and many courses
in special methods of teaching. A
well equipped Observation School with
a number of expert demonstration
teachers constitute a part of the sum-
mer school.
Among the prominent teachers who
will offer courses are DR.. F. W. Ma
roney, State Director of Physical
Training for New Jersey; Mr.. E. M.
McDonough of the Boston Continue
ton School; President J. j. Savitz of
the Trenton Normal School; Robert
w. Bartholomew, Director of Music,
Lockport, N. Y; Superintendent
Sprague of Summit, New Jersey; Su,,
perintendent Radcliffe of Nutley and
Martha G.. Berry, Supervisor of Art,
Elmira, N. Y. Lectures and special
courses will be offered by various
members of the State Department OF
Public Instruction.
