NAVY DAY HERE

From all indications Perth Amboy will play an import
ant part in the observance of Navy Day, which President
Harding and Secretary of the Navy DENLY as set for October
21. Not only is a resident of Perth Amboy, w. Parker Run
Won, chairman of the state committee in charge of the event,
but the officers and crew of the U. S. S. Eagle Boat As, the
training ship of the local navel reserve unit have entered
into the spirit of the occasion with a program suitable for
the occasion.
On October 81 all navy shipyards will be open for in
spection. In keeping with this innovation a general inspec-
ton of the Eagle Boat moored here has been planned that
will furnish the many residents a chance to show the part
Perth Amboy is playing in the naval preparedness of the
country.
The crew Of the Eagle Boat has had an active summer
and has been a credit to the city. A large training ship now
on it's way here and which will be used as a winter quarters
should tend TO awaken even greater interest here. AS Perth
Amboy has never been favored with an armory, the training
vessel will, in a way, fill a long wanted for need.
The city, so far, has shown every inclination to coop
crate with Mr.. Runyon and the Eagle crew in the observance
of Navy Day.
1t is hoped that the same spirit will be made manifest
in the future and a demand made for improvements to the
waterways here, needed in peace time as well as in national
emergencies.
Perth Amboy extends a hearty welcome to the mem-
hers Of the 28th New Jersey Volunteers at their reunion here
today. Here's hoping the day will be an enjoyable one and
also that all of you will come again.
New Brunswick may have failed to solve its murder
mystery, but it sure is unearthing a lot of scandal, past and
present.
Sooner or later the public as a whole is going to do some
striking. The real question involved in these strike troubles
is whether a part of the public is greater than all of it,
Former Vice President Marshall thinks what the coun-
trv needs is cheaper cigars. Vice-President Fairbanks
thought what it needed was buttermilk. And when Vice
President Coolidge becomes an lex very likely he'll insist
that the way to salvation is lectures on constitutional Law.

GRADUATES POINT OF VIEW
Hopes of Youths Sometimes Grow
Dim as Ideals and Ambitions
Are Not Realized.


The completion of a school %
college course is the first big turn
ing point that youth has to meet
These young people have been Living
in a world of books and class rooms
TRYING to absorb wisdom by word Of
mouth and the printed page. 1t i
another proposition to take all thi;
theoretical knowledge and go out II
the world and use it to do success
full work.
The anxious parent, viewing her
young fedgling, swells with tear
full pride at contemplation of his
honors, while her wisdom recognizes
all the perils which he so unthink-
ingly confrunts. She wonders if he
can meet the new tests which life is
about to apply to him.
Few such fears or qualms are
shared by the student. Everything
i'm educational institutions is planned
to help young people get through
with credit. The graduates have the
confident feeling that life will prove
the same. But unfortunately the
world is a colder place than the
school room.
1t is in this spirit that the essays
and orations delivered by graduating
classes often seem so confident as
to solution of community problems.
It looks easy to them to clean out
ancient abuses, and they feel that
once they get out and tell the wait
ing world how to remove existing
evils, these wrongs will be righted.
But the world is a different kind
of place from the school room. In
stead Of kind and friendly teachers,
anxious to help, there is active OPP
position and dull ignorance to meet.
The hopes of youth sometimes grow
dim as ideals and ambitions are not
promptly realized. But the youth
who has caught the true spirit Of a
school or college is not daunted by
such discouragements. He has learn
ed that good and true men and wO-
men of all ages have fought against
great obstacles, and that those who
have carried on and were true to
their best selves, have accomplished
useful results for their community
and happiness for themselves.
