Tor an American Republic.
Each of these weary school days
may be another February %. But
It shall not be known for years
which time it takes for the world
to appreciate a truly great man.
Take Washington. His life in
early days was marked by no ex-
traordinary steps which marked
him as a man who"
He was but George" the play
mate of neighboring Westmorelsnd
county boys. Virginia was the
same then as nowhere the
father" of our country grew TO
maturity. George" who was
possibly a prototype of the present
typical American boy. shared hard
ships. His father died when he
was eleven years old.
MEAGER SCHOOLING.
The schooling of Washington
was much less than the education
of a youth today. George first was
tutored by a sexton, then wert TO
a small school at Bridges Creek and
finally he learned surveying from
Lord Fairfax, q neighbor.
The first hard training which
was destined to make Washington
a sturdy warrior was given him on
a mapping trip, which took him be-
yond the Blue Ridge. In a strange
country, George was successful and
returned to Belvoir-the homo Of
Colonel Fairfax better man.
Lawrence Washington took his
younger brother to the West Indies
in 1851. This trip was the only oo-
casion on which our first President
left the shores OF America, which
should have been a good example
for his successors to follow.
As comes TO every young man,
Washington heard the call of the
military life. He answered. Octo-
Der, 1853, saw him on a journey to
the French at Fort LeBoeuf. The
knowledge he gained of the French
position served to help him when
the English attacked those who re-
fused to evacuate tho valley of the
Ohio. war-washington tasted Of
it. Who then thought the passing
Of a few years would find him war
ring again, but for the independ-
ence Of the colonies and against
England?
DIFFERENTIATION GRAsPS HIM.
George Washington married
widow. with wealth. beauty and
two children, at the age Of twenty
Ska fitting age. He neglected
the military for the life Of q gentle
man landowner and society.
The dominant courage Of de-
termination grasped Washington
and turned him against England,
with the speech of Patrick Henry
at the Virginia assembly, which
lighted the torch Of rebellion. The
virginian linked himself In the
angry chain Of patriots who advo-

These figures applied throughout
the situation give at least . fair
indication of the utter inadeQuacy
Of facilities now possessed by

CONDITION AWFUL.
A glance through the much
over-crowded and poorly equipped
building will bear evidence Of the
cramped conditions is fitting.
Glasses are filled to capacity,
teachers taxed to the utmost, stu
dents suffering through a fault
which their instructors cannot
rectify-too little individual atten-
ton.
The assembly hall il tho scene
alike for assemblies, plays, lee
lures, orchestra and band practice
and seven study periods per day.
This poorly lighted miniature
auditorium has a seating capacity
Of $50, the result Of which is that
at general assemblies $40 students
must find standing room in the
aisles or nearly corridors, a condi-
ton hardly favorable for safety.
Furthermore. graduation exercises,
class night formalities and school
dramatic presentations must be
held In the auditorium Of another
high school, at this schools ex-
pense.
FIGURES TELL.
The lunchroom has accommoda-
lions for 550-slighuy over one
third Of the total enrolment.
The school boasts OF only one
small library, a room the size OF
most parlors, and equipped with
SO few volumes that It hardly de-
serves the name by which 1t is
known. No institution should be
lacking in proper means OF re-
search work, particularly one OF
technical and scientific nature.
There are no gymnasiums, no
athletic training equipment, no
armory, no offices for the various
activities Of the school; there Is
an inadequate plant for printing
the school paper. and a general
lack of equipment too numerous to
recount.

Songs in Native Costume Under
Auspices OF Society of
Fine Arts.

Ruano Bosislav gave a song recital
under the auspices Of the Washington
Society of the Fine Arts in Central
High School last night. The pro-
gram consisted OF folk songs divided
into four groups. Russian, gypsy,
Spanish and miscellaneous. The sing :
er appeared in appropriate costume
for each group. the Spanish costume
being especially effective. In the Rus
sian songs "Ostraiu sekiroi' was per-
haps the most pleasing with the ac-
compartment reminiscent of the song
OF the Volga. "krai tee moi" a duet
with which the aecompanist. Mr.. Till

very interesting. In the Spanish group
'Granadinas" had u charming melody.
"Ay, ay. ay" was full of pathos. end
ing with note Of anger. "Tu" was
we'll known to the audience, being a
favorite selection with hotel orches-
tras. In the last group, Blair Fair

honors and the audience called to

charm and animation She was re-
called by an encore after every group

ANDERSON HAS ONE DAY
OF REAL HARD LUCK

METUCHEN, Sept. 19:-George
NJ. Anderson, who is conducting a
strenuous campaign for the Repuo-
lican nomination to h Hous OF
Assembly. ~journeyed to the
part of the county Saturday some
what under difficulties attendant
with lots of excitement.
While travelling over Woodbridge
avenue in Highland Park his car
was rammed from the rear by a New
York car, throwing the occupants OF
his a from the seat though no
serious damage was done. While on
the Cranbury pike a car approach
ing from a lane at the left crashed
into the side of his car n but little
damage was done.
Shortly after the second accident
a car ahead of Mr.. Anderson's sud
denly crashed into the ditch and
turned over. All possible haste was
made to assist the two men who
were buried under the wreckage and
they were pulled out, one with a
slight cut on his nose and the other
none the worse for his experience
though the car was practically de-
molished.
Mr.. Anderson offered to aid them
in any way, but they elected to re-
main with the remains of their ma
chine and refused to divulge their
identity.
The assembly candidate admits
that campaigning has its disadvan-
