FROM SCHOOL
Supervisor MacCall Wants a
Fund to Buy Shoes and
Clothes for Needy.
Charles A. MacCall, supervisor of
the attendance department of the
Board of Education, in his annual
report states that during the past
year 1,655 pupils were absent from
school because they lacked proper or
necessary clothing and shoes with
which to attend.
According to Mr. MacCall the at- ’
tendance officers provided the neces
sary articles in each case brought to
their attention, and in the past year
the attendance department has been
compelled to secure clothing through
appeals to the Bureau of Associated
Charities and by contributions from j
public-spirited citizens. Mr. MacCall
says one citizen alone contributed or
ders for more than sixty pairs of
shoes to children who were practically
barefoot In the middle of winter.
'it does seem to me that in a large ■
and progressive city, such as Newark. I
it should not be necessary for the at-I
tendance department to depend upon
private charity to enable these Indi- I
gent pupils to attend school," said j
Mr. MacCall. "I am firmly of the 1
opinion that a fund should be estab- '
lished either by the Board of Educa- j
tion or by the poor and alms depart
ment of the city, from which this de- j
partment might secure funds to pro
cure necessary clothing for children
Who are unable to secure it in any I
Other way in order that they may be 1
kept in regular attendance at school. j
Assuredly a very close watch would
be kept, and as thorough investlga- :
tlons would be made as at present be- i
fore any of such fund, if established, i
would be drawn upon by this depart
ment.
"In many other States and cities
such a course Is followed and no child
is ever allowed to absent Itself from
school more than a half day because
of lack of shoes or clothing. In this
oity such a fund would cost but a
small fraction of one per cent, of the
tax rate, and I am satisfied that any
amount that migHI be spent would be
returned through the allowance made
by the State for the additional days’
attendance of these unfortunate chil
dren.
Parents Visited.
"Personal interviews were held by
the supervisor and his assistant with
eight thousand four hundred and
ninety-four (8,494) parents during the
year. Many of these interviews were
caused by some delinquency of pupils
because of which it was necessai’y to
summon the parent to this office in
order to impress upon them the neces
sity of compelling proper conduct on
the part of their children. The greater
part of these interviews, however,
were with parents who desired their
children to secure ~ ‘age and school
ing' certificates In order to send them
to work, but who for some reason
wore unable to produce sufficient
proofs of the possession by the child
of the necessary qualifications which
are required by-law before an 'age
and schooling' certificate can be
legally Issued.
"A great number of such appeals
are made to this department daily and
many , sad cases of poverty are un
covered through them. I am very
happy to report, however, that al
though no 'age and schooling’ cer
tificate has ever knowingly been is
sued contrary to law by this depart
ment, some means have usually been
devised to at least alleviate the dis
tress in the family until such time as
the pupil has been able to secure the
necessary proofs of age, education and
physical ability and has been granted
an 'age and schooling’ certificate. In
some of such cases financial aid has
been given by the Bureau of Asso
ciated Charities, in others by private
individuals, and very often work has
been procured for some member of
the family or for the child Itself after
school hours.
"In New York and several other
States a fund is provided either by
the State or by the State chOd labor
committee (usually a private organ
isation) from which is taken suf
ficient money to aid any family found
to be in sore need because of the fact
that a child over the age of fourteen
is unable to secure the necessary
'working papers' and Is compelled to
attend school when he or she might
otherwise earn at least enough for
his or her own support. I most earn
estly wish that such an arrangement
might be made In this State or city,
because much valuable time 1s used
by this department in endeavoring to
aid such families through private or
ganisations and individuals.
Friction Eliminated.
"On July 4, 1914, an entirely new
compulsory education law and prac
tt illy new child labor laws went
into effeot. Under the provisions of
these laws the duty of Issuing 'work
ing papers,' as they were formerly
Ailed, was transferred from the State

ft pa,^!ment °I 'abor to the school au
thorities In each school district in the
»tate. The enforcement of these laws
floes away for all time with the con
nlct between the department of labor
and the school authorities as to which
waa the proper department to decide
whether a child was of sufficient age,
possessed sufficient education and was
Physically able to go to work.
It seems to me that it would be
absolutely absurd for this department
to issue a certificate to a child be
tween the ages of ten and sixteen
years, which apparently permitted
his employment when anyone who
would employ such a child would be
directly violating the provisions of
the child labor law.
"1 protested against this section of
the compulsory education law before
its passage, but was overruled. I
think that any attempt at a practical
application of it, however, has clearly
shown its absurdity, and I hope that
it may be amended during the next
session of the Legislature.”
According to Mr. MacCall, of the
1,834 pupils to whom “age and school
ing” certificates were granted, nearly
sixty per cent, secured employment in
factories and workshops, about twen
ty-five tier cent, in stores and other
mercantile establishments, twelve
per cent, in laundries, in domestic ser
vice and as office boys, one per cent,
remained at home to assist in house
hold duties, and only one per cent,
chose the so-called ‘blind alley’ em
ployments, such as newsboys, mes
senger boys, peddlers, etc.

"There was an increase in the per

school year of one and seven-tenths
per cent,” Mr. MacCall reports. “The
per cent, of attendance for the year
1913-1914 was ninety and five-tenths
per cent., while that of the past year
was ninety-two and two-tenths per
cent.
"This is the largest increase in the
per cent, of attendance that has ever
been shown in any one year since the
reorganization of the attendance de
partment. It demonstrates very clear
ly that excellent results can be ob
tained in- securing regular school at
tendance through close and intelligent
co-operation between the principals,
the medical inspection department
and the attendance department.”
Two hundred tons of gold, worth
$102,000,000 and occupying the space
of three cords of wood, are stored in
the United States assay office in New
Yor'iC. The gold Is in 16,345 bars. It
represents the accumulation of British
sovereigns and other foreign coins
brought to the United States within
about six weeks in an effort to main
tain the financial balance between
European nations and the United
States.
The war has sent the prices of
waste material soaring to such a
height that this country has almost
been swept bare of such products,
according to reports received by the
National Association of Waste Ma
terial Dealers at its quarterly session
in New York. Louis Birkensteln,
president of the association, told the
members that the process of recla
mation here is akin to what ap
parently is being done In Germany.
"The demand for cotton for explosives
and for cotton batting and llnters has
resulted in reclamation work in cot
ton waste products, which has made
it possible to substitute many of
these for the standard products ” said
Mr. Birkensteln. "The reclaiming of
Wool, jute and other fibres and ma
terials for uses not obtaining in the
past is going on steadily.”

ment at maturity on December 1, 1914,
of all the collateral trust 6 per cent,
three-year gold notes of the United
Light & Power Company of New Jer
sey, amounting to *1,618,000, and suc
cessive defaults in the interest due
beginning June 1, 1913, the Bankers
Trust Company, as trustee, will sell
at public auction on January 12 at
the New York County Court House
the collateral deposited and pledged
to secure the notes. This collateral
consists of *2,023,000, principal amount
of first and general 6 per cent, gold
bonds of the United Light & Power
Company of California issued undei
mortgage and deed of trust dated Oc
tober 1, 1910; 300,000 shares, par value
*10, of the common stock of the Cali
fornia concern, and 160,000 shares, par
value *10, of the preferred stock.
Proxies aggregating 90 per cent, of
the outstanding stock were voted yes
terday in favor of the plan for a con
solidation of the Riker & Hpgeinan
Company and the United DrJg Com
pany. This included the vote of the
corporation for Riker & Hegeman
stock. Despite the large majority in
favor of the consolidation it was found
necessary to adjourn for final decision
until December 23. It was said that
the delay was due to legal reasons.

SCHOOL PUPILS
ARE A DRUG ON
LABORMARKET
So Says Assistant City Super
intendent Shirley in Report
< on Vocational Work.
That practically 60 per cent, of the
local school children start their life’s
work without special training and
grow into manhood and womanhood
a drug on the labor market is set
forth in the annual report of Assstt
ant City Superintendent of Schools
CepHis I. Shirley, who is in charge of
the vocational schools.
"Newark is a cosmopolitan city,
with a school population of 70,000 pu
pils," says Mr. Shirley. "In facing
the problem of vocational and indus
trial education in the city schools we
are confronted with many difficulties
and dangers. For economic and other
reasons, a great number of our boys
and girls leave the elementary
schools annually, seeking financial
aid in hundreds of avenues of em
ployment.
"About 60 per cent, go into the in
dustries and the remainder into work
not so classed. Practically all these
boys and girls start their life's work
with no special training; they are, in
most cases, unable to carry the load
of any responsibility, be the load
ever so light. The occupation to
which they fall frequently offers no
training of value In their personal
development. They grow Into man
hood and womanhood a drug on the
labor market, restless and unhappy,
with a maximum earning capacity
scarcely sufficient to furnish the bare
necessities of life. Briefly, these con
ditions will give some idea of the
enormity of the problem that has
come to be considered the function
of the schools.
"The work of the Boys’ Industrial
School, now in the sixth year of its
history, is well known. Under the
leadership of Principal James E. Dou
gan, the school has been developed to
that point where the need for further
enlargement is manifest. The confi
dence In which the school is held by
the official body, the Board of Educa
tion, Is clearly shown by the adequate
appropriation recently set aside for
the erection of a new building to be
devoted entirely to the needs of in
dustrial and vocational education for
boys.
"The problem confronting the Girls’
Industrial School is similar in content
to that of the Boys’ Industrial School,
with this exception, exclusive of the
subjects of domestic art, science and
economics, considerably less is known
of the industrial conditions and en
vironment surrounding the employ
ment of girls.
Teacher Accomplishes Mach.
“From its inception, the Girls’ In
dustrial School has been under the
care of Miss Griselda Ellis. Miss
Ellis, an Indefatigable worker, has
energized the work of this school, and
has fully Justified the confidence re
posed in her by the Board of Educa
tion and the city superintendent.
“As time passes, the Boys' Indus
trial School will come to occupy an
Important place in the educational
affairs In this city. That it will prove
a connecting link between the indus
try and the school, there can be no
doubt.” _ ’
According to Miss Ellis’ report 132
girls have been enrolled in the Girls’
Industrial School during the past
year, and of this number thirty-five
per cent, have been lost, either by be
ing transferred or discharged.
Miss Ellis’ report shows that the
following nationalities have been en
rolled in the school during the past
year; Americans, 68; Italians, 23; Ger
mans, 18; Austrians, 12; Russians, S;
Irish. 4; English, 3; Polish, 1; Danish,
1; Chinese, 1; Hungarian, 1; Sicilian,
1, and Bohemian, 1.
All these pupils, according to Miss
Ellis, have been required to take
cooking, sewing, design, arlthmeUc.
English, civics, industrial geography
and history.
"Considering the fact that the
school has been in operation such a
short time, we feel that a great deal
has been accomplished,” says Miss
Ellis in her report. "We have man
aged to make the lunchrooms self
supporting since January, paying for
our dally marketing of foods, and
paying up our grocery, ice and milk
bllte.”
In her report Miss Ellis makes
the following recommendations: Tho
establishment of a class in the re
modeling of garments, the appoint
ment of a physician or physicians
who would give a series of talks on
i practical hygiene, the appointment of
a woman to take charge of the physi
cal training work, and the establish
ment of an advisory board composed
of men from the industries In the
I city who would keep in touch with
! the work of the industrial school.
"This would make it possible for us
to keep our training up to the stand
ard demanded by the employer," says
Miss Ellis, referring to the latter
recommendation. "During the year
we have had employers apply to our
school for girls in different lines of
work. Our students were not ad
vanced enough to accept some posi
tions, but it is gratifying to realize
that our school is becoming known.
Five of our studf»itfi who have been
compelled to go to work before fin
ishing the course have been able to
! secure positions as keepers in the
home, because of the knowledge and
j training received at the school.

Buffalo Terminal Project
Made the Occasion for
Commerce Chamber Luncheon
BUFFALO, Dec. 16.—The Buffalo
Chamber of Commerce will give a
luncheon today In honor of the com
pletion of the first unit in the devel
opment of its terminal facilities along
scientific and businesslike methods.
For more than twenty-five years
BufTalo has wrestled with its ter
minal problem. In the last few years
the Terminal Commission has had the
matter in hand, and through the ef
forts of this organization, together
with that of the Chamber of Com
merce, the city administration, the
newspapers and the rank and file of
the citizens generally, definite results
are now being accomplished.
The first unit to be completed is the
freight terminals of the Lehigh Val
ley railroad, including an office build
ing and a freight shed 600 feet long
and extensive yards, team tracks,
etc. The buildings are absolutely fire
proof and are equipped with every
modern idea in construction.
While the freight station Is the
first to be completed, every feature of
the terminal development is making
rapid progress. Both the Lehigh Val
ley and the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western are building handsome
passenger terminals, which will not
only take care of their own service,
but also some of the other railroads
entering Buffalo, while It is probable
at least one more passenger station
will be erected.

tile Marine preferred. Studebaker and
Texas Company, added substantially
to yesterday’s material advances,
while New York Central again led

cumulation later. In other divisions

Initial difficulties, when the meadows
were in such shape it was Impossible
for wagons or men to bear refuse to
spots which were to be filled, and It
was necessary to build a track across
the meadows, for which fills of lum
ber, sometimes as deep as eighteen
feet, had to be sunk.
Telung about the leasing arrange
ments. Mr. Hallock stated the leases
will be so framed that buildings
erected on leased acreage will revert
to the city within a certain period
after the expiration of the leases, if
the latter are not renewed. All pre
cautions to protect the city have been
taken, he said. The first five leases
will be at the rate of *500 an acre
per year. Then the price will likely
double. The city is assured suffi
cient return on Its investment to pay
interest and take care of the sinking .
fund for the bond issue.
The steamship piers will be leased
on the basis of fifty years or longer,
with a sliding scale of payments.
"The Narrows are really an entrance
to the ->ewark development,” said
Mr. Hallock. He showed that the
distance from them to Port Newark
Terminal Is the same as to Thirty
second street, New York.
The city owns 1,150 acres of
meadows. Of this area. 150 acres
have been reclaimed and 100 have
been reclaimed from the bay itself.
A total of 250 acres is ready for leas
ing now. The sites do not appear to
attract the small manufacturers. Mr.
Hallock stated. The smallest request
has been for seven acres. One con
cem has asked for 260 acres, to be ;
shut off from the public. An extra
strip of 100 acres may be purchased to
put this deal through. There have
been several Inquiries for 100 acres or
more.
Painter. Poor Spellers.
How Newark Is represented
throughout the country by 20,000 cel
luloid backed blotters on whicb the
word development is spelled “de
velopement" was told by Mr. Hal
lock.
"Newark's spelling mistake has
been pretty widely advertised.” he
said. “The first Port Newark Ter
minal sign contained the word incor
rectly spelled. I ordered another
erected and then I received a nice
letter from a school teacher telling me
that, too, had the word Incorrectly
spelled, but by that time the blotters
had gone out. A new sign has been
erected bearing little else than the
words ‘Port Newark Terminal-.”
The reclaimed area Is at present oc
cupied by 100 freight cars almost
every day, Mr. Hallock stated. This
Is partly due to the fact that the
Pennsylvania railroad is turning over
twenty-five to fifty cars of refuse to
the city daily.
