The Danger Of Slang
Americanization has for one of its
goals the cultivation of good English
by all classes of people in this
country. Those who are foreign born
are criticized radically for their
broken English. However. they can
not be criticized as much as those
who destroy the beauty of the Eng
lish language by the continued use
of slang.
THESE slang expressions are always
coined by some unintelIigent person,
and after being used almost univer-
sally by the residents of the United
States lose their original meaning.
1t has been said, that if we knew the
original meaning of the most popu-
lar slang expressions we would never
utter these words--
The really intelligent slang of the
past. has become useful and almost
4 necessary part of the English Ian
guage. Many of the idoms used arc
derived from former slang express
sions. These idioms have become
extremely popular because of their
eXactness. But when a person be-
comes thoughtless in the use Of
slang desire for vulgarity is de-
veloped. 1t is this form of slang
that is the most universally used.
This is the form that must be aban-
doned.
There is an old proverb, mo man
llVeth unto himself" This is very
true Somebody, generally a young
or person than yourself, has chosen
you for his ideal. He watches vour
actions and initiates them. Even
your speech is initiated and if YOU
use slang unconsciously. your sateI-
lite will use it consciously. Here is
the real danger. Do not help to
spread slang; but when the tempta-
ton comes to use it, remember that
American language of the next
generation will be largely the good
slang OF today. Therefore if YOU do
use it, use only the intelligent SLANG

Tragedy Of Graduation And Promotion To Be Removed By
 : Forming Irregular Classes

Within the next week Superinten- dent of Schools E. Everett Cortright intends to carry out his plan for the establishment of five additional "irre- gular classes which will take care of pupils who have some particular irregulartiy and who do not advance as rapidly as others. MT. Cortright has decided on this plan of action after an investigation of the condi- tions in the Black Koch school and the complaints of parents in that dis trict on the educational problems of their children. The entire board of education is in accord with the policy of MT. Cortright.
 "I intend to take the tragedy out of graduation and promotion" MT. Cortright said today. "We have the money in hand now for the establish ment of five of these classes and l in tend to begin them within the next week. Children at Grand, Barnum, Franklin, Staples and Prospect schools are now waiting for these classes. We have irregular classes now in opera tion in Jefferson. In the new classes the program will depend on the re- contradictions of Professor Gese1l. Some boys require fifty per cent of each. In Waltersvilie an interesting situation came to my attention. Six of the boys in the irregular class there failed to respond to hand work so we procured an Italian cobbler and the boys. I believe will now be able

Governor to Take Hand.
 It is reported that Gov. Edward I. Edwards would be asked to send At torrey General McCran to New Brunswick to take absolute charge of the investigation. New evidence has come to light in the finding of a :bloodstained potato knife and the remains of burned
 Public feeling against the arrest of 19-year-old Clifford Hayes is still running high here. A report was circulated that another arrest might clearing of Hayes name. The knife which is in the possession of Chief of Police Michael OConne1l. was foand about 15o feet from the spot Mills were discovered on the desert- ed Phillips farm on Sept. 16. It was picked up by a nfne-year- boy. The authorities believe that the red spots blood and are not rust as nrst thought
 Bloody Knife in Case.
 The theory of the police Is that nearly severed from her body. The stains are to be chemically analyzed.
 This new evidence was turned over Co the police by Tn onas Lyons, who said that his little son found the knife near the old Phillips farm house the day after the bodies were discovered. It was lying beside little path connecting De Russey lana and Easton avenue.
 The burned automobile may prove to be important evidence or may turn out to be the result of a coincidence. It was the property of Ralph V: M Gorsline, vestryman of the church or st. John the Evangelist. He Is the man who said that Mrs. Mills tried to win his affections some years ago and whose ID novements on the night of the murder were investigated in the rou-- tfne of the investigation.
 Chilled On Burned Auto. Gorsline was called to the court house and interrogated. His auto mobile was burned the next day It was being driven, he said, by his chauffeur and the burning took place about a mile and a half from the city. The chauffeur was returning from Trenton when the accident oc- cured.
 Gorsline was prominent in church affairs On the night that pr. Hal and Mrs. Mills were killed he had taken Miss Catherine Rastali, mem ber of the choir, to her home in his auto He said he had been at the Y M C.

to work as cobb1ers or cobblers assis- tants.
 ''The trend in modern education 1S to have an elastic school system. Children must not be forced to ad- here to the school system as In the old days. The school system must be adapted to the child. The school sys- tenn is for the child and subjects must be sorted to the chi1drens needs. Tn the near future I intend to establish rapid classes so that children who are rapid in their work may advance. Uniform requirements in public schools are unsatisfactory. I shall also establish research department so that the needs of the individual child may be made known and so that the system may be adapted to the individual needs. We must ann in our system to find the particular niche for each child. Each child must sbe made self-supporting."
 Superintendent Cortright plans 10 establish the classes himself, though this is not the work of the superin- tendent. Two years ago Super1ntend- ent Cortright, then assistant to Mir. S1awson, requested the former super intendent to allow him to establish backward classes. These became a great success and MT. Cortright now believes that the new classes will in- crease the efficiency of the schools and will be the cause of eliminating many tragedies of school life.
