N. Sommer, 794 Broad St. Long Distance Telephone - .... 98 Entered at Post-Office as second class matter. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9. 1903. Parents of some of the school chil dren in Perth Am hoy have asked the Evening News to advocate a schools' savings bank. These people have rela tives living in cities where the idea is in successful operation nnd they have read aboat the plan. They are much pleased with the schools of Perth Amboy and declare-that the lucal system is equal to that of any city of this size. They are anxious to ^ gee the system advanced still further, j These parents desire to have the | value of saving impressed upon their ■ own children and thoy believe it j would be an excellent training for all j the children of the city, particularly j in a place with a population similar to that of Perth Amboy. The Even-J ing News is heartily in accord with these parents and while it is evident j L the problem ! of supplying sufficient j I room whore the children can get an V education, is about all the school I authorities can handle at present, it ^ wonld seem that the time is not far W distant when the schools savings bank r could readily be established here. They idea was started by J. K. f, of Long Island City, N. Y.J| iteeu years ago. Ou this plan Me ' : savings to tht^leach-1 fed its then ojy^J^ara. The Siren use the card the same as a book and any amount from one cent up, can be deposited. It does not take the children long to develop much rivalry as to who hns the largest account in the bank and they learn that every penny counts. The teaoher takes the money deposited with her to one of the banks in the city and deposits the savings of the children where it will draw interest. Since the school savings bank was established 797 schools have adopted 4he system; these are in eighty-five cities and twenty-one States. That the children have been taught to save tlieir pennies is evident from the fact that during the eighteen years *2,138, 747 have been deposited in this man ner. Of this amount *1,616,790 has been withdrawn, leaving a balance now in fehe school banks of *521.957. This is considered a big success and Perth Amboy schools would do well to try it. -i-ir ■ ■■ ■ ■■■■ The Grand Central Meat Market 309 STATE ST. Tel. 80 J.

( ■■■■■■■■■■I f I A few days ago the Evening News ' spoke editorially of the necessity of a clnb where men of affairs about town J could go to speud a few hours in tho J evening and take a friend with him. j It would seem that the Raritan \acht ! Club has the proper idea and it should be encouraged in its object. A new building with the second floor fitted out for the social end of the organiza tion would be exactly what Pertli Amboy needs. The Raritau Yacht Club is prosperous. It has lived many years and there is no doubt but that it will live many years more. The boating interest has kept it together and, if nothing else, this will con tinue to do it. But with the proposed improvements, the boatings interests will be still more attractive and at the same time the club can add to i)k membership those who do not caj^s so much for the boating. Witl^fhe pro posed plans carried out^fi\e business men of the cit^^wCiTl soon get in terested. y' —^ That twines ate prosperous in Perth AniUfly is evident from the manner in tj^iich money is raised by voluntary contributions. St. Mary’s parish re cently called for funds at a cornerstone service and the amount- realized has practically readied $ti,000. Last Sun day the Hebrew Benevolent Associa tion realized a like sum by merely asaing the people to give what they could. When Tottenville was annexed to the City of New Aork and became part of the Borough of Richmond, manv shook their heads and declared a mistake had been made. They said Manhattan would get Jail the money and the island could go in want. Since then, however, Tottenville has received a great many things that it would otherwise not have gotten. The course of free lectures is onlv a single illustration of this. The action of the Perth Amboy Terra Cotta Company in setting aside $100 yearly for the hospital is a com mendable act ana one worthy of being followed. The hospital has proven itself a necessity and nowhere is it realized more than among 'the local industries. 1 The Leading 1 » Millinery Store ? i Every day we are receiving * ^rnew styles in |Hats, Toques | I and Bonnets t Ipbeside wliat are made in our Ip Town workroom. y 5 We carry a larger line of J A millinery than any two stores^ T|combined, and our prices areTj T well known to be the lowest j £ for the same quality of goods £ ; dpOur special for Saturday is a|p , ^ Rolling Brim Sailor | K.'
