Shimbun that Japan's financial posi-
tion will not permit her successfully to
compete with the United States and
England The peuding budget sets aside
80 per cent Of its total amount to naval
expenditures, while 1S per cent would
be appropriated to the army, the news
paper declares.
''TU devote 80 per cent of the ma
tion's total expenditures to the army
and navy" the newspaper says, is a
record breaking example in world his
tory"
NJ. Ozaki asserts the total armament
expense Of Japan will eventually reach
rs per cent of her total expenditures
and he urges that more money be given
to education, declaring that, even
adopting the double shift system,
the schools Of the country cannot &C.
commodate the children seeking admit
tance. lie declares the greatest cause
for Japan's isolation Is the appearance
that this country is conducting all its
work by means of military strength. lie
has contended that japanese naval ex :
tns on, in spite Of denials. has had
America and Great Britain as its OBJ
jectiyc, and he has asserted 1t would
ruin the country eventually.
Qualification Is expressed by the
Nichi Nichi that man Of M. Ozakis
fame should favor restriction of arma
ments, the newspaper saying that his
proposals should help to remove the
impression that Japan has warlike in
tentions. The journal, however, deems
the completion of the present Japanese
naval program Imperative.

VETERANS BUREAU AND
VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS
DO NOT MIX.

An Act has been passed by the U.
s. Senate known as the "Sweet BilP',
to which has been added an amend
ment, which a%bolishes the Federal
Board for Vocational Education and
transfers all Smith-Hughes work to a
Veterans Bureau, which will be Gre
ated under the terms of this bill. 1t
does not seem just that the Federal
Board, which so successfully conduct
ed various kinds of vocational educa-
ton throughout the country, should be
abolished peremptorily end the work
be taken over by another bureau,
which from the very name would APP
parently be unable to cope with the
magnitude. of the work already done
for any citizens of the country from
the ages of fourteen up.
The Veterans Bureau may in itself
be a very fine thing for taking care
of the needs of those who so bravely
served their country in the recent war,
but it OeS not seem just to wreak an
institution which has given this coun.
try such good service through her vo
cational schools for the past few years
In Atlantic County alone there have
been maintained Vocational Schools
of Agriculture and Home Economics,
partially supported and supervised by
this Federal Board for Vocational Edu
cation.
The amendment certainly should be
stricken from the bill before it is fin.
ally passed.

INSPECTION OF
SEWER SYSTEM
WORK OF INSTALLATION DECLAR-
ED COMPLETED YESTERDAY,
AND OFFICIALS AND PUBLIC IN
VITED TO LOOK 1T OVER.

If the work done by the several o
tractors who have been installing the
new sewerage system in Pleasantville
proves to be according to plans and
specifications and fulfills the contract
entered into by the city when the final
inspection is made this Friday, start
ing from the City Hall at 1 p. m, the
sewerage system will probably be ac-
cepted by City Council at its regular
meeting to be held Monday evening
next. The contractors have just about
completed all the work, and city ofic-
ials have arranged, to make the final
inspection of all the work done under
the several contracts this Friday af-
ternoon. The city officials invite all
Interested citizens to make the inspec-
ton with them.
This will probably prove an inter-
esting day for Pleasantville residents.
The city has grown rapidly of late,
and the installation of a modern sew
erage system is a great event. There
has been a great amount of complaint
over the sewerage contract, principal
ly because of financial questions. and
all these matters will be adjusted
when the complete reports are render

the sewerage system. Some have ar
gued that it's installation cost too
much and others say that the benefits
to be derived by the city are greater
than the cost has been. All citizens
have an opportunity this Friday to
witness for themselves what has been
done. and whether or not the system
has been satisfactorily installed. A
thorough test will be given before
Council acts to accept the system.
If everything proves according to
contract and the system is accepted,
then private houses and business plac-
es can start to connect with the sys-
tenn under such regulations as the city,
through the Board of Health, may pre-
scribe. The more thickly populated
portions of the city have been reached
by the sewerage lines, and members of
Council say they will have the lines
extended just as rapidly as the city
builds up, SO that sewerage is required
in the outlying districts.

SCOUT COUNCIL APPROVES
SHAPPELL TO HEAD CAMP

The P~leasantville Boy Scout Coun-
Gil has approved the selection of
Scoutmaster Emil Shappell to head a
delegation of. Scouts who will visit the
Camp at Perkiomen, Pa, for a week,
leaving ~Pleasantville on Aug. 25. Any
Boy Scout can become a member of
the party, no matter to what troop he
belongs, by getting in touch with Mr..
Shappell, and meeting the require.
ments as outlined by him. A resolu-
ton was passed by the Council giving
authority for the solicitation of funds
from those interested in the Scout
movement, to be applied toward the
expenses of the local boys. The trip
will be quite an expensive one, owing
to the distances, and, as there are
some of the boys who want to go, but
who are unable to meet the entire ex-
pense, the Council thought that this
method would best meet the situation.
1t is hoped that the public will be as
liberal in their donations to this wor.
thy u as it is possible for them to
he.
