PEOPLES FORUM
REORGANIZATION OF THE
COUNTRY SCHOOL

lhC world war has brought to
the attention Of the people Of the
United States one of the weak
ncsScs Of our system of education,
that more than one half of our
5000, 900 illiteratp adults live in
rural sections where the school
Facilities are poor, Statistics tell
MS that about one half of the
school children Of the nation are
enrolled in the country schools
and that they are laboring under
distinct educational disadvantage
es.
"The little red school house"
Of bygone days played u prom
inent part in pioneer life but it
is real stumbling to those who
would keep pace with the changes
Of the world today. The social
economic and industrial changes
the last fifty years have been
great. Progress i'll farming meth
DDS has been so rapid that many
have failed to keep up with it.
New standards in education have
been created and new demands
have been made upon the school,
which the school has been slow
to meet. Nothing short of re-
organization of the rural school
along good educational and adj
ministrative lines will meet the
needs Of the present and the fu-
ture.
The country boy and girl are
entitled to just as good an educa-
ton as their Getty COUSINS" and
until this is given them the rural
schobl does not measure up to
its proper requirements. The
needs Of the rural people could
be better served, better schools for
their children could be provided
and not infrcquently financial
economy by a more business
like system Of consolidating the
schools. Some advantages may
be briefly mentioned:
l. The enrolment and attend
ancc is increased.
,. Hardness and absences are
reduced to a minimum.
3. The pupils arrive dry and
warm each day.
4. The pupils are under the
care OF responsible person COM
ing to school and going home.
Qnarreling, smoking, profanity,
vulgar and improper language are
prevented.
.. Better grading and classifi-
cation is possible.
6. The advantage of better
buildings and better equipment.
I. Community interest is awak
ened and pride in the school.
-. II piItiS lht country DONS
and girls the same opportunity
as in the city.
8. The transportation feature
aids in the building of better
roads.
10. The school becomes truly
a center of life in the community
and justities itself as the really
adequate college Of the people. +"
Finally, the consolidated school
is the most economical system of
rural education. The spirit of
this instruction will go through
all the country and find express
sion in better homes, better
churches, strong rightly directed
farm organizations, good roads,
and better crop yields, better bus
mess, better farming, happier
people and more satisfying
country life.

KEYPORT TRAFFIC CASE
SENT TO HIGHER COURT
tBy Evening News Correspondent.


KEYPORT, Sept. S:-The ease OF
the borough against Frank Howard
for his failure to comply with Sec
ton 2, Part 8, of the traffic act heard
at the borough hall before Recorder
Isaac N. Johnston resulted in a judg-
ment against Howard for S25, the
case being appealed by Towards
counsel, Elmer H. Geran, of Mata-
wan, and will be heard at Freehold
in the near future. The borough at
torney. Arthur s. Van Buskirk. had
a large number of witnesses on hand
all of whom testified to Howard's
passing the fire truck when 1t was
going to a fire on Main street two
weeks ago, the big truck being driv-
en- by Charles Henwood.
Although the traffic law states
n a upon the approach Of a fire en-
CINE or any fire apparatus the driver
of a vehicle should draw said vehicle
up to the right hand curb as near
as practical. Howard passed the
truck on Main street and was run
ming ahead of it. When the big
truck passed his car it caused 1t TO
collide with a car owned by Alfred
Raven and an auto owned by Jack
Haley, the latter two cars being
parked at the curbing near the
George S. Hyer residence.
Haley's car received a broken
wheel n the rear axle bent, Raw
ems car being considerably damaged
and the truck receiving among other
damage a broken lamp.

engine, is declared to be an expert

children of today for the children of
a thousand years to come and was
in favor of a popular subscription to
purchase the auto for the nurse, the
only expense for the first two years.
Clarence Thorne, George Shultz and
John Baremore also spoke in favor
of the idea and when it came for ac-
ton the resolution was adopted with
out opposition.
Fire Chief Harry Lokerson was be-
fore the council in an attempt to set
tie the question whether funds do
mated to the firemen were the prop
erty of the firemen or the borough.
Quite a lengthy discussion took place
and the matter vas finally put to a
vote and the council decided hat any
funds donated to the firemen could
be used in any they desired,
under proper supervision of the
council and the officers of the COM
pany.
A communication was before
council signed by the butchers of the
town objecting to other butchers
running wagons in the town without
paying licenses. AS the offenders
only sell on orders the matter was
not given the desired action.

PARK BOOSTED
At JAMESBURG
Beautiful Site is Assured.--
Community Nurse Plan is
Also Advanced

JAMESBURG. Sept. Support
ant measures brought before the
common council at the deferred ses-
sion Tuesday night were given final
passage.
Mayor Elmer Patten presided and
the following members answered the
roll: Messrs. Hutchinson, Wyckoff,
Dey. Jennings, Hausser and Clerk
Brooks.
Hear Park Project
The first business was the hear
ing on the matter of passing to final
reading of the ordinance authoriz-
ing the issue Of bonds for the pay
ment of $4,000 for the completion
Of Memorial Park. Harold J. Davall,
head of the Park Commission, gave
much data that eliminated all oppo-
sition. He said that the total valu-
alton of the borough, about $3.50. 900
would mean an average payment to
every householder with a $1,000 as
sessment of Is cents at the beginning
and less. The bonds were to be five
in number and were to run out by
easy stages. M. Thorne also spoke
in favor of the park improvement.
Ex-Mayor George A. Shuts spoke
In a pessimistic n at the be-
ginning of the improvement. After
the project a explained he was for
all that would insure the park.
Borough Attorney John Kirkpat-
rick also spoke in favor of the pro-
ject.
John H. Baremore was the last
speaker. He said that he came to
Jamesburg in 1876 and this was the
first time that any appeal for funds
had been made in all that time for
the benefit of the town.
Mr.. Baremore said that he was
afraid that the patriotism of the citi-
zens who shouted to the boys going
to the colors was oozing out and ap-
pealed to all to support the measure.
Praise for MI. DavalI
Mr.. Shuts was again on the floor
and %eulogized Harold ]. Davall for
his share in the park improvement
and said that he was afraid if Mr..
Davall would leave Jamesburg the
entire project would fail. AS a trib-
ute to Mr.. Davall he called for a ris-
ing vote of thanks for what he had
done and all rose enmasse.
This seemed to please Mayor Pat
ten for he addressed the citizens
present and he said that while he
desired no praise for his efforts in
behalf of the park idea he had ap-
pOiIlteu only lue jest men dVdlldDle.
The was passed without OPP
position.
The community nurse idea was
also before the same audience of
citizens and about the same senti-
ment a expressed as for the park.
Mr.. Davall told in detail of his con-
nection with the project.
DR.. j. r. Dare, president of the
Board of Education, when called on
FOR an opinion as to the advisability
Of the community nurse. would only
say: Let George do It," meaning
the council.
Mayor Patterns insistence hat all
the citizens take part in the discus
sion was of little avail and he pre-
a.dNNed that tomorrow the -ques-
ton would be thoroughly discussed
on the street corner, like all other
questions as J%amesburg is a great
place for that"

pany to complete it's contract.
A communication was received
from the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in regard to the closing of
Willow street crossing. 1t was the
opinion of members that the original
agreement was moi embodied in the
agreement at hand and the clerk was
instructed to secure a copy of the
original agreement before any &C
ton should be taken in the matter.
A complaint was received through
Councilman Wyckoff of the continu-
ed loafing on the corner of Willow
street and Railroad avenue by the
young men of the town without any
arrests being made by the police.
This vas discussed and wonder was
why it continued. The application of
Thomas Ryan for appointment as a
special officer was put into the hands
of the police committee for action.
This makes four officers now avail
