They are on trial. said the per-

Charging the spokeman of the
Republican party attempt at pallia-
tion of offenses of "unfaithful public

it was ''in this easy tolerance and
turpitude in public that the real
peril to a free government lies rath-
cr than casual occurrence. Thf
President himself has not hesita
ted to endeavor to shield the de
linquents from public odinm tr
which their direlections subjected
them by joining in the hue and

Coolidge has ashistoric warrant fo

INQUIRY IS

Governor Silzer Asks Fund for
Probe Of systen, He
Sternly Criticizes.

TRENTON, N. j., April 12.-Gov-
ernor George S. Silzer, in an ad.
dress last night to a joint session
Of the New Jersey Legislature,
recommended that he be authorized
20 appoint committee Of nine ton
make a survey Of the entire State
educational system. Requesting an
appropriation of $4,000, so that the
committee might secure expert adj
: vice, the governor declared this
small amount in consideration of
the fact that the annual State ex-
penditure for education is Sac
100000.
thirteen years there has been no
investigation of the school system,
the Governor asserted that the
time had arrived when a thorough
survey should be made Of the en-
tire system.
Graduates Deficient.
During the last few years, he
asserted, numerous criticisms were
made that too much time is spent
upon ''fads and frills'' and not
enough upon fundamentals. OPP
portunity for investigation by tho
State Board Of Education was de-
clared limited, because of lack, Of
money, time and power.
Referring to specific instances,
the Governor said that of 298 high
school graduates who took an eX-
animation for admission to State
Normal School, SO failed, and at
another examination, 20 had failed
out of 1873. Mention was made Of
seventeen normal school graduates
who took an examination. to teach
In the schools of Irvington. But
one passed the tests.
indicating in part the scope of
the investigation recommended, the
governor questioned whether the
$660,0OO expended yearly for medi-
cal inspection was spent wisely:
whether educational laws need re.
Vising; whether there is uniformity
OF curriculum and proper progress
IN preparation of text books. He
asked whether there are too many
daily subjects for elementary
pupils. The functioning of teach
ers' institutes also was mentioned,
as was the segregation of defective
children.
CF1tlc1Sm Frequent.
Numerous criticisms are being
made of the conduct of our schools
and the results obtained. Whether
these are well-founded or not, do
not know, but do know that we
ought to ascertain
The suggestion was made that,
with an increase Of nearly $4,000
goo in five years in the amounts
disbursed for school buildings, the
committee should find out whether
the inclusion in school buildings of
many features intended more
especially for community PURPOSES
Is correct and advisable. The
sources of school income and the
method of expanding the SAG, O0O,.
900 annually for schools also should
be examined, he said
Whether the present method Of
conducting the teachers retirement
fund is scientifically accurate and
financially sound, and whether it
expresses the policy which the
State should continue, was de-
clared within the field of investiga.
ton proposed. The demands and
needs for higher education, the
governor asserted, coull not be
excluded from a consideration of
the question of education.
