He taught reading, writing, spelling; and a little arithmetic from 8 o'clock In the morning until 11 and from 1 In the afternoon until o'clock. Five yeara later the village of Wood brldge wan also empowered by the Gov ernor of the colony to sustain a school fpm the proceeds of certain land set taut tor education. In 1878 Newark had "a well qualified schoolmaster." The Cast Jeraay Legislature Id 1IS provided general legislation on ths sub jaot of education In a statute which stated In Ita preamble that "the oultlra tion of learning and good manners tends greatly to the good and benefit of man kind." It was permitted that In a town as election might be held to choose three men who would fix the amount of a schoolmaster's aalarfi Under this law od a later one a number C schools wars established. In West Jersey the Quakers, just aa te Pennsylvania, were the leaders In the natter of education. An act was passed la 1113 the design of wrdch wsts to en ogBrage "learning for the better educa tion of youth." It provided that a valu able tract of land near Burlington should t nod tne that village for "the main- stains; of a school for Bis education of wrath." After tha eocsoMdaOoa of Cast and Wert Jersey there prang op early In the eighteenth century a number of prlvats sflhoola These were held usually In the nuldencs of some prominent citizen where the children of the neighborhood assem bled to receive Instruction.

The Influences whloh led In foilndlnr rrlnceton grew out of the primitive In stitution called the "log college," which was situated at Neahamlny In Pennsyl vania, about twenty miles from Philadel phia, founded by a William Tennsnt. who bemfi a pastor at Neshamlny In 1726 and erected the "log" building for the education of his own eons and the nUsh- bora' children. Harvard and Tale, wtth the Vlrrlnla College of William and Mary, the last rounded by a royal charter tn lfl(3. were the only Institutions of hlirher learnttiar In the colonies at the beginning of the eighteenth century, rrinceton, the fourth oldest American collece. waa not the col. lege of an eatabltahed church, but It sprang out or ne ure or a voluntary religious communion, which had spread Itself over several colonies. It sprang Into being, ns one historian has pointed out, when Americana began to be conscious of their unity as Americana. At its birth this fourth American college had Impressed upon M a national and American character which It has never lost. The charter which Oov. John Hamilton granted for a college on October 22. 1746, was the first college charter conferred In America by the Independent action of a provincial Oovernor. The public, school system In New Jer sey had a alow Wart. Bo-nalled Laneas- terlan schools were organised In the early part of the nineteenth century, but It was not until Hit that a law was passed appropriating fSO.OAO to be uned for edu cational purposes amonc the several counties. In 1114 a provision waa In serted In the State Constitution then adopted that the school fund should not be diverted under any pretence what soever from Ita tegUJmate object. In 1846 the law waa so amended an to require each township to raise as much money as the Rtate contributed. Many amendments were made tn the school taw until In 1S6T "an epoch making act waa passed which placed the New Jersey public eohoola among the moat favored of the nation. The private schools and academies nf the State have from their very bogtn- nlng stood In the front rank among the secondary schools of the country. One of Ita oldest schools, rounded In Newark In 1782, Is now In the most flourishing rendi tion of Its entire existence. A number novelties In dances for them. Among the attendance are many who are occupying "star" positions on the professional atage. VERMONT ACADEMY. Bjurrots River, VL, Dec II.

Dec. 12 Alexander Mackenzie nf Mackenzie School faculty has sailed for Belgium to work under the Belgian relief committee In the distribu tion of supplies and funds from this country. The basketball team, under the skilful coaclili of Ealrd C. Dlnsmore. Is round ing out Into good playing form, although the material Is comparatively new. As the nractlce Ih wholly In the open air, tne exercise is proving unusually benetlclal. The recent fall of snow covered the hills sufficiently to provide not only coasting but skiing, in which there promises to he nn unusual Interest this winter A club Is forming and some expert skiing will bo attempted on the longer hills near the school. Recent visitors to the school Include a number .' the alumni from the different colleges: Wallace Irwin. Cameron Mac kenzie. Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Peters of Omaha. Neb., the Rev. Frederick C.

Physloc, Brook lyn; E. It Stephenaon. Syracuse. OXFORD SCHOOL. The fair of Oxford School, Hartford. Conn., held on Friday, December 4, was most successful In every respect, it netted the school a substantial sum for Its nhosen philanthropies and enlisted tn the full all the latent energy and business ability of the pupils. Former teachers mid former pupils helped to swell the pile of packages on the parcel post table, which was one of the most popular. A country post office delivered letters to suit all ages and estates, and various committees pre sided over tables for flowers, candy, Jelly and Ice cream as well as fancy and useful article.!. The fair waa the third of a series of events which comprise the extra, academic t H r.ATMASTKIl snd prlnel- pali of private nehoola thronghoot the eotntrj are IsTlted to tend school nem of geaeral Interent every week, sr aa often ss eonitnlent, for publi cation In the Hchool rage of TICK 8CNDAT HBN.

Including one at Slights town anil another at Kllnabetti, aro oer a half century old and likewise have Im proved with age. The value of a large university like Princeton, with Its distinguish! list of presidents. Including President Wood row Wilson, and the high personnel of Its faculty and students and Its worldwide reputation, has been of Inestimable ser vice to Uie prlvute schools of tho State and especially to the boys' schools. All of the tatter. Including one that Is widely known all over the country, are more or lees reeders to Princeton. The suc cess of the untvemtly depends" largely upon the class of students sent to It and the tine quality of the students attend ling Princeton Is In Itself no small com pliment to the high standard of New Jersey's private schools. Bulgers College should not be forgotten. Under a charter granted by Oov. Franklin on March 20, 1770, the Institution whs started. There was an earlier charter Issued (n 1767 that does not seem to have been made use of. The first meet ing of the trustees of the college was held In the village of ltachensack on May 7, 1771. Both Hackensack and New Hrunswlck wanted the college, but the latter place won oul, having brought in subscriptions ror more money than Hack ensack promised. Resides Princeton and Itutgers, New Jersey has other higher Institutions of learning, Including Stevens Institute of Technology In Ilohoken and several excellent Catholic colleges. All these colleges, universities and technical Institute hare been of the greatest ser vice to the private schools of New Jersey. The fact that Philadelphia with Its Uni versity of Pennsylvania and New York city with Columbia University and Its other universities and Its colleges are so near to New Jersey Is Knottier advantage to the private schools nf this Common wealth. The private schools of New Jersey oc cupy a high plnre among the so-culled "secondary" educational Institutions of America. This Is due partly to the pres ence of a great university within the conrlries of the Htate. Hut It Is due, liosr ever, for the most part to the efforts made If)- princtpula and their faculties to attain the highest possible standard In American secondary education Any one acquainted with these excellent schools realizes fully that the advance Is made steadily year by year toward that high ideal. C. fi, n. activities of the school during the autumn. The flrat of these on November 6 was a Mother Gooae party for the younger children, to which they aame In appro priate costume, nnd the second was an afl 'round contest party for the high echool and upper grammar school grades, held on November 13, at which a variety of competitions kept the wita of all most busily engaged, and songs written for the occasion enlivened the evening. The growing enthusiasm for the school on the part of the students Is evidenced by the marked auocess of all these affairs. ACADEMY OF ST. JOSEPH.
