gives very good results in CONSTANT

No advertising Is carried on tram

STATE MEMORIAL OR NOTHING.

Perth Amboy or Middlesex county cannot
sxpect the state of New Jersey, aided by the
federal government, to build a memorial for the
bovs from this city and county who fought IN
IN. world War. The EVENING NEWS has
suggested that the new state highway bridge
be constructed as a state memorial Tor the
hovs who served in the recent war from Ne"
Jersey. not from any particular section OF the
state.
There has been considerable agitation ABOUT
state memorial and as the new bridge De-
tween the Amboys is going to be erected by the
state. as It will cross the largest stream "hohs
within the state very near its widest point as II
will form a connecting link between Nortn anu
South Jersey and as thousands of Jerseymen as
wall as nonresident tourists will cross the
,r,5,s every week, we maintain that by AIDING
. little extra to the amount to be appropria'eu
Tor ornamentation, the bridge can be maze d
suitable memorial.
But II the bridge is to be a memorial at ali
n must be a state memorial. not a city or coun-
~ memorial. If the people of Perth Amooy or
Niddlesex county want a memorial erected Tor
their particular boys, they should do the erec-
ting themselves. and not expect the whole state

EXPECT A GOOD JOB.

1t is to be doubted II the Board of Freehold
ers can justify any claim that there are not funds
enough in their road improvement account to
build a permanent pavement on West avenue
through Sewaren from Perth Amboy to Port
Reading. state aid or no state aid. The county
had a big road bond issue not very long ago
and there is every reason to believe that there
is money enough in this account to do this I'M
portant work. The large population that is in
terested in this road fully expect this road to be
improved this spring. The freeholders will have
to do some careful explaining il they refuse.
Furthermore. the taxpayers are not going to
have any patented paving surface forced upon
them at an exorbitant price when they have
good reason to believe that a concrete road can
be built over this whole stretch, properly drained
on both sides for less money, or at least for the
same money that 1t would take to put a new
patented surface on the present road.
This sewaren road is being carefully watched
by the people of Perth Amboy. Woodbridge and
Roosevelt. They are interested in it and they
expect a good job at the smallest possible price

FOR HIGH SCHOOL PURPOSES.

With the crowded condition of the public
schools. especially the high school, there surely
ought to be some way by which the present
building used as a city stable could De turneu
over to the Board of Education for hlgh schooi
purposes. The building is of brick and Is only
a few years old. 1t could be remodelled very
easily and made to serve the city's educational
system most admirably. The fact that II is on
grounds Immediately adjoining the high school
nronertv makes it all the more adaptable for
high school use.
The building could be used either for manual
training, as is suggested by one of the schooi
commissioners, or as a gymnasium. the tact Is
the high school is very poorly equipped for ply
steal training classes. The present so-called
gymnasium is a mere hole in the ground under
the high school building that apparently was an
after thought, and as it could hardly be used
for ANYTHING else it was equipped as a gym"
It's ceiling is low, the room is cramped and the
ventilation is poor. There is little room for
lockers or shower baths.
Now that physical training is made compul-
sorry by law it is essential that every high school
be equipped for this kind of work. We doubt
IL many parents realize under what conditions
thier children now receive this physical training
in the local high school.
The remedy is to be found in providing a Ut
place in which to take this physical exercise. An
adequate gymnasium is essential IL the state law
is to make physical training compulsory. 1t
would seem as If the city stable building offered
a solution from this city.
But whether it is used as a gymnasium, for
manual training or is equipped for eighth grade
classes, the building ought to go to the Board
of Education for school purposes when the new
city stables are built. The high school certainly
needs the room.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-03-12
MAKE THE BILL GENERAL.

In reading over Assemblyman Peterson's bill
which is intended to improve conditions at local
school elections in township and borough, we
find that 1t is to apply only to boroughs of over
10, 900 population unless its provisions are adop-
ted by other municipalities at a popular cleo
ton. 1t seems it is intended primarily to apply
only to the borough Of Roosevelt.
This is a mistake. II the manner OF conduc-
ting the local school election is wrong in Roose-
welt It is wrong in every other municipality that
comes under the provision of the act as it stands
today. AS the bill now stands it would not
apply to woodbridge. for instance. unless the
people voted to adopt it. Yet. there is just as
much need for reform in Woodbridge as there
is in Roosevelt. We have recently referred to
the complaint of some of the people OF Hamil-
ton township in Mercer county about the man
ner of conducting local school elections.
The law as It stands is bad. Women. in par
ticular. who live in boroughs and townships,
should be interested in having proper safe
guards placed about these school elections.
Mr.. Peterson's bill should be amended so as to
apply to all boroughs and townships and then
it should be passed in order that such a farce
as was witnessed in so many communities last
month cannot be repeated next year.

MoNKEYING WITH STANDARD TINE.

The more the daylight saving matter is argued
the more confusing 1t becomes. New York has
repealed her daylight saving law covering the
whole state and has left the matter OF moving
the clocks ahead one hour at the option Of the
different towns and cities within the state. New
Jersey has a daylight saving law pending, but
n is hardly likely that It will pass. In Pennsyi-
yania a great fight is being put UP to have such
a law enacted with the outcome still In DOUBT
