Feed on Labor Day.

4 clambake was held by the Endi-
colt and Althea Bible Classes. Of St.
Johns N. P. Church. on Labor Day
afternoon and evening, and a very en-
ioyable time was had by all who al
tended. It was not given for proht.
as ST. Johns Church does not hold any
paid" socials, but the expense was
simply borne by those present.
They gathered about l o'clock. and
O busy hands prepared the bake,
and put the things in the box, under
the direction of Rev. George ". Toms,
Jr.. as they used to do it in his home
in New England. After starting on
the bake. an afternoon of fun began,
with croquet, baseball and quoits, and
a good social time by those not par
ticipating in the games. Rev. and
Mrs. George D. Jones and Rev. and
Mrs. W. E. Pettet were guests OF the
occasion.
The supper was served about seven
and the crowd present quickly filed
the tables. as the good things were
brought on. The menu was as fol
lows: Steamed clans, weakfsh, chick
white and sweet potatoes. onions,
corn. bread and butter, coffee and
watermelon. Ice cream was served
during the afternoon. The bake was
pronounced excellent by all. even bet

All Denominations
Give Contributions
Jewish Congregation Grati6ed at
Results of Efforts to Raise
Synagogue Fund

Recently the resident Hebrews of
Pleasantyille decided to make an eff
fort TO raise sufficient funds with
which to erect a synagogue in the
city. a committee was named to So
licit contributions. During the first
week of the committees work the
sum of about $500 was raised. What
particularly gratifies the committee
and the Hebrew residents in general
is the ready response with which this
appeal for funds was met. Of the
money already contributed only about
half came from Jewish people. The
other half was literally subscribed by
people of all other denominations.
This shows a proper community spirit
and is praiseworthy. The committee
feels optimistic over the bright pros
poets of soon raising the funds neces-
sary to complete the erection of their
synagogue.
The exact location of the synagogue
has not yet been decided upon. l..
Solomon will donate the lot whenever
the committee decides just where they
will build.
The Jewish population will hold
their annual New Year services next
week, beginning on Monday afternoon
and continuing through until Wednes-
day. Rabbi Weinberg, of Atlantic
City, will oficiate. During that time
details for the new synagogue will be
worked out. 1t is o expected that
the work on the building will be com
meneed before the first of October
and that the structure will be fully
completed before the first of January

Schools Now Offer
Golden Opportunity
Modern Institutions of Learning
Afford Advantages of Untold
Benefit to Youth.

On Monday morning next the Pub
lie Schools of our city will open for
the new school year. Their doors will
open to boys and girls of nearly every
age. regardless of race, creed, or col
or: and from the Kindergarten to and
through the High School will be offer
ed to Young America" every oppor-
tunity for the improvement of body,
mind, and spirit. We are proud of our
American School System, which gives,
and practically without cost, to every
boy and girl that which in the other
Yesterday cost several hundred dol
lars to obtain. Our High Schools to-
day are giving courses of study equal
to or even more advanced than those
offered by the Preparatory Schools of
twenty-five years ago.
And every boy and girl should be
taught by their parents TO see the
eternal value of a High School educa-
ton. They should be led to under
stand that education is not the cram
ming the mind with certain textbook
facts told by other minds, but the
bringing out in the daily life those
principles that make life in every re-
spect a priceless possession. Unless
a c0liu > tuuCdllOA lCdRliCo Inn
to live intelligently, soberly, honestly,
and justly, that child's education is by
that much a failure. Hence the in
junction, Know Thyself". And this
self-knowledge will best be attained
unto by the application of oneself to
the things that are well worth while.
To many boys and girls coming from
homes where discipline has been lax,
if not altogether neglected, the dfsci-
pline of the schools will seem hard to
accept. And happy the boy or girl
who has learned the value of self
control. To such the school discipline
will not cause any chatting. A school,
whether kindergarten or university,
without an intelligently reasonable
discipline is not worth attending: for
discipline is a good part of a true
education.
To the Teachers of the schools l
extend cordial greetings and best
wishes for the health and strength and
clearness of mind and all needed pa
thence in the great work of instruc-
ton and discipline; and solicit for you
from the parents of the boys and girls
under your care their most hearty CO.
operation, and confidence in the integ-
rity of your work.
To the Superintendent, the Princi-
pals of the several schools, and mem
bers of the Board of Education, l also
extend greetings and express the hope
that this will be the best year in the
history of the Public Schools in the
City of Pleasantville. but echo the
sentiments of others when I say we
are expecting great things of you.
"Put none but Americans on guard.
Schools entirely separate from politi-
cal influence are the schools that will
produce the finest type of American,
so much needed to-day.
