OUTLINE HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
Within the limits of what is now the State of New Jer-
sey, aside from any evidences of the presence of prehis-
toric man in the "Trenton Gravels," the original inhabi-
tants of the commonwealth were Lenni Lenape, or Dela-
ware, Indians. This subdivision of the great Algonkin
family occupied the river valleys of the State, had made
some progress in agriculture and in elementary arts, were
peaceable but small in numbers, and at last have become
totally extinct in this portion of the United States.
In its settlement, New Jersey was not an English colony.
The claims of the Crown, based upon early discovery and
various grants, were totally ignored by two great com-
mercial nations of Europe— Holland and Sweden. It was
not until 1664, practically a half century after the first
occupancy of New Jersey by a white man, that England
had aught more than a slight influence upon the destinies
of the State. In settlement, Holland was first to send out
planters, under the auspices of the Dutch West India
Company. Claiming both the valleys of the Hudson and
the Delaware, by virtue of the explorations of Hudson and
Me3% land was taken up upon the banks of the Hudson,
Passaic, Hackensack, Raritan and smaller streams tribu-
tary to New York harbor, as well as at Gloucester upon
the Delaware. By 16.30 these claims were well established
by occupancy, and by the creation of a centre of local
government in what is now New York city. Upon the
rapidly growing influence of Holland, Sweden looked with
jealous eye. Gustavus Adolphus, in his plan to make
Sweden a world-power, saw the Dutch to be dangerous
rivals in America. In 1638 there was equipped a Swedish
expedition to settle the valley of the Delaware. What
is now the State of Delaware, the valley of the Schuylkill
and isolated portions of the west bank of the Delaware
River were occupied, civil and military government was
established, and the colony of farmers and traders entered
upon a brief career of prosperity. The death of Gustavus
Adolphus, internal dissentions in Sweden, the inherent
weakness of the Delaware settlements, and the constantly
increasing power of Holland brought matters to a crisis.
In 1655 New Sweden was conquered by New Netherlands,
(7)

and for nine years the soil of New Jersey was absolutely
under Dutch control.
Emerging- from the interregnum of the Cromwells, the
restoration of the House of Stuart brought peace to Eng-
land. On the 12th of March. 1C64, Charles 11.. with royal
disregard for previous patents, grants and charters, deeded
to his l)rother James, Duko of York, a vast tract embrac-
ing much of New England, New York and all of what is
now New Jersey. This was accompaniod by active prep-
arations to drive the Dutch from America, as they, in
alien claims to New Jersey, practically separated the New
England colonies from Virginia. Maryland and the Caro-
linas. In the summer of 1664 armed vessels appeared In
New York harbor. After negotiations, the Dutch sur-
rendered and the i;ower of Holland in North America be-
came simply a mattei of history. In the meantime James.
Duke of York, transfe-red to two favorites of the House
of Stuart— John. Lord I-Jerkeley, and Sir George Carteret—
practically what is now the State of New Jersey. In
honor of Carteret's defense of the Island of Jersey (Cae-
sarea) during the Parliamentary wars, the territory was
called New Jersey (Nova Caesarea).
Carteret and Berkeley, in granting a liljeral frame of
government and extolling the advantages of their colony
so well located for agriculture, commerce, fishing and
mining, attracted settlers not only from England, but
from Scotland and New England, particularly I^ong Island
and Connecticut. These planters were largely Calvinists,
from Presbyterian and Congregational communities, and
mainly occupied land in Newark. Elizabeth and upon the
north shore of Monmouth county. The valley of the Dela-
ware remained unsettled. The Calvinists brought into
East Jersey distinctive views upon religious and civil mat-
ters. Early legislatures punished many crimes by death,
the penalties being similar to those of the Jewish dispen-
sation, while the "town-meeting" strengthened the indi-
vidual action of the small communities. There was an
intense individualism in every phase of political and relig-
ious development, the life of the people centering around
the church and the school house, the head of both, as in
New England, being the minister.
In 1676 a division of the interests of Carteret and Berke-
ley occurred. In the meantime Berkeley had disposed of
his rights to a company of English Quakers, a conflict had
ensued, and to establish the claims of all parties concerned,
the two colonies of East and West Jersey came into
existence. A line was drawn from a point in Little Egg

Harbor to the Delaware Water Gap, Berkeley and his
assigns retaining West Jersey as their moiety, Carteret
obtaining East Jersey.
By Berkeley's transfer the dominant influence in West
Jersey was that of the Society of Friends. Salem was
settled in 1675, Burlington, Gloucester and the site of Tren-
ton about five years later, while within ten years there-
after the "shore" communities of Cape May and Tucker-
ton came into existence. The Society of Friends estab-
lished in West Jersey a series of communities in which
the life of the people was different from that of East Jer-
sey. As East Jersey resembled New England in civil gov-
ernment, so West Jersey resembled Virginia. The political
and social centres of the large plantations were the shire-
towns, slave owning was common, a landed aristocracy
was established, prominent families intermarried, and
under the advice of William Penn and his friends good
faith was kept with the Indians. Capital punishment was
practically unknown and disputes were settled frequently
by arbitration.
Two elements of discord marked the genesis of East Jer-
sey and of West Jersey. One, external, was the attitude
of the Duke of York after he became James II. In 1673
New Jersey was recaptured by the Dutch, who held the
colony until the early spring of 1674. A question arose as
to the Duke of York's title after 1674, reconveyances were
made, but in spite of past assurances, James II. claimed
the proprietary right of government. To that end Sir Ed-
mund Andros was commissioned Governor of New Jersey,
and a climax was reached in 1680 when the proprietary
governor of East Jersey was carried prisoner to New York.
In 1681 the Crown recognized the justice of the proprietors'
contention, and local government was re-established, but
not before the seeds of discontent were sown that bore
fruit in the Revolutionary War.
An internal disturbance was a contest between the
Boards of Proprietors and the small land owners. Both
in East and West Jersey, Carteret and Berkeley and their
assigns had transferred to wealthy combinations of capi-
talists—most of whom were non-residents— much of the
broad acreage of the colonies. With the land went the
right of selection of Governors and of members of Execu-
tive Councils, which right Berkeley and Carteret had
derived from the Crown. This, with "quit-rent" agita-
tions in East Jersej', led to much bitterness. Finally, dis-
gusted with turmoil, and viewing a sentiment of revolt
on the part of the people, the Boards of Proprietors sur-
10 HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
rendered to the Crown, in 1702, their rights of government,
retaining only their interest in the soil. East and West
Jersey were united, and the two provinces became the
royal colony of New Jersey.
From 1702 until the outbreak of the Revolution the polit-
ical history of the colony was quite uneventful. Through-
out the period of seventy-five years there was almost con-
stant friction between the Legislature and the Governor
and his Council. The governors, in the main, were Crown
favorites sent over the sea without a personal knowledge
of the colony and with but an ill-concealed ambition to
wrest from the people as much money as could be secured
for the support of themselves and the executive office.
The Councils, composed of wealthy land owners of the
Society of Friends and rich merchants from East Jersey,
were quiescent, and even the members of the popular
branch of the Legislature were chosen by those possessing
property qualifications. The small non-voting farmers
raised the cry of "aristocracy," and the equivalent of
"taxation without representation," and while loyal to the
Crown were open in their expressions of dissatisfaction
to the personal attitude of their governors. In 173S New
Jersey, in recognition of this sentiment, was given a gov-
ernor separate from the one appointed jointly for the colo-
nies of New York and New Jersey.
During this period the farm was the centre of the activi-
ties of the life of the people; particularly was this true in
the western part of the colony, where favoring climate
and soil, slave labor and the proximity of Philadelphia led
to abundant crops and a good market. In East Jersey a
commercial spirit was more active. Perth Amboy threat-
ened to rival New York, and Jersey ships from Newark,
Elizabeth and the Monmouth villages were to be found
from Boston to Charleston. The repressive economic
policy of the Crown precluded the development of manu-
factures. In the southern part of the State, sand and un-
limited forests of oak and pine led to the development of
glass making, while "bog iron," with abundance of lime
from oyster shells, gave an impetus to the erection of
forges and bloomaries. These, as well as the copper mines
of the trap rock region, were throttled by adverse Parlia-
mentary legislation. Ship building was a recognized in-
dustry, and cedar was extensively "mined" from the
sunken forests of the tide-water district. W^haling and
other fisheries were unhampered, and were profitable, as
was also the trade in skins and in hay from the salt
meadows of the coast.
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. U
Throughout the years from 1702 to 1776 gold and silver
and copper money was scarce. In obedience to the de-
mand of the English merchants that competition should
be crushed, legislation was enacted to draw "hard" money
away from the colony. An inflated paper currency, first
issued in 1707 to provide ways and means to aid the Cana-
dian expedition against the French, poured from the
printing presses. Trade was reduced to barter, and gold,
silver and copper were practically at a premium for nearly
three generations.
Of the more prominent incidents during the period were
the organized attempts to suppress piracy in New York
and Delaware bays, the growth of a well-defined system
of transportation by land and water between New York
and Philadelphia, the establishment of ferries and post
roads, the reclamation of waste land, the injection of
Hugenot, Scotch-Irish and Palatinate German elements
into the settled population, the chartering of Princeton
University and Rutgers College, the religious revival led
by "Whitefield, the propogation of abolition doctrines by
Woolman, the erection of a series of barracks owing to the
French and Indian war, and what is probably of supreme
importance, the growth of a sentiment of independence
fostered by the stupid policy of the Crown, and carried
from hamlet to hamlet, as much by itinerant hawkers and
by "Redemptioners," who had served their time, as by any
other cause.
The opening of the Revolution found New Jersey's senti-
ment unevenly crystalized. Few, if any, were favoring
absolute independence. There were three elements. One,
the Tory party, was led by Governor William Franklin,
the illegitimate sen of Benjamin Franklin. This conserva-
tive class embraced nearly all the Episcopalians, a vast
proportion of the non-combatant members of the Society
of Friends and some East Jersey Calvinists. Another ele-
ment was composed of men of various shades of belief,
some in favor of continual protest, others desirous of com-
promise. This included at the outbreak of the struggle
most of the Calvinists, some few Quakers of the younger
generation, and the Scotch-Irish. The third party drew
its support from a few bold, aggressive spirits of influence
whose following included men who believed that war
for independence would benefit their fortunes.
The part played in the Revolution by New Jersey has
been frequently told. Events passed rapidly after the
affairs of Trenton and Princeton; Monmouth and Red Bank
will never be forgotten, while the raids at Salem, Spring-

field, Elizabeth, in the valley of the Hackensack, and the
winter at Morristown are a part of national history. Oc-
cupying- a position between New York and Philadelphia,
its soil was a theatre where the drama of war was always
presented. At no time was the Tory element suppressed,
finding its expression in open hostility, or in the barbaric
cruelties of the "Pine Robbers" of Monmouth, Burlington,
Gloucester and Salem counties. Though under suspicion,
the Society of Friends were neutral, for conscience sake,
remaining close to the teachings of their creed.
The close of the struggle found the people of New Jersey
jubilant and not disposed to relinquish their sovereignty.
The Articles of Confederation were weak and had become
a by-word and a jest. There was much State pride and
much aristocratic feeling among the old families who con-
tinued to dominate State politics. The Constitution of 1776,
adopted by New Jersey as a makeshift war measure, pro-
vided that all State officers of prominence should be elected
by a Legislature, which was chosen by voters possessing
property qualifications. As in the colony, the Governor
was Chancellor, and class distinctions were closely drawn.
In spite of agitation, all proposed changes were rejected,
and a strong federal union with the other States was
viewed with dislike and suspicion. The State, in a quarrel
with New York, at one time refused to obey the requests
of Congress, and, in the exercise of her sovereignty, estab-
lished a Court of Admiralty and coined money.
While the spirit of "State rights" was dominant, it was
recognized by leaders of public thought that New Jersey
was too weak to stand alone. She entered the Annapolis
convention called to revise the Articles of Confederation,
and whose lasting monument was the present Federal
Constitution adopted in Philadelphia in 1787. Upon the 15th
of June of that year the "New Jersey Plan" was pre-
sented, which, while lost as a measure, led to the famous
compromise upon representation, whereby in the Senate
of the United States the States were given equal vote, with
a representation based on population in the House.
The adoption of the Constitution of the United States
led to the rapid growth of political parties in New Jersey
as elsewhere. In spite of the intense conservatism of the
State, led by the Quakers of West Jersey, who were Fed-
eralists almost to a man, the anti-Federalist sentiment de-
veloped rapidly, spurred by a virulent party press, the
death of men who had been trained in colonial methods of
thought and the democratic tendency of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which grew in strength in West Jersey.
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 13
In the eastern part of the State there was among the indi-
vidualistic Calvinists a strong anti-Federal spirit. This,
in 1800, led to the election of Thomas Jefferson as President
of the United States, and in ISOl the election of his political
ally, Joseph Bloomfield, as Governor of the State of New-
Jersey. The death of Hamilton at the hands of Burr, and
the death of Livingston, the "war" Governor, tore down
fhe strongest pillars of Federalism in New Jersey, and led
to the absolute domination of the State by the anti-Feder-
alists, who held power until the outbreak of the second war
with England.
The period from 1790 to 1812 in New Jersey was marked
by a demand for internal improvements and better trans-
portation. The agitation concerning the Delaware and
Raritan Canal, Stevens' experiments in 1802 with steam,
along the lines laid down in 1785 by Fitch, the project of
the Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures at Pat-
erson as early as 1791, and highways conducted through th£
northwest portion of the State, indicate the trend of public
sentiment.
The second war with England was not altogether a pop-
ular measure in New Jersey. The Federalists, the "Peace
Party," secured control of the Legislature and elected
their Governor. Nevertheless the State furnished her
quota of troops. The one permanent effect of the struggle
upon the State was indirect. Owing to the movement of
supplies and the necessity of quick transportation between
Philadelphia and the exposed port of New York, the wagon
roads between Bordentown and Perth Amboy, and between
Trenton, New Brunswick, Metuchen, Rahway, Elizabeth
and Newark, were improved and their advantages as
"short routes" demonstrated. Upon these lines two later
railroads, now a part of the Pennsylvania Railroad system,
were constructed.
The era following the close of the war of 1812 until the
opening of the Civil War was one of stupendous activity.
Interrupted only by the financial depressions of 1817 and
1837, and slightly retarded by the Mexican War, the pro-
gress of the State was beyond the wildest dreams of the
enthusiast, Alexander Hamilton. In the eastern part of
the State, aided by a constantly increasing foreign popula-
tion, Jersey City rose from the marshes, Newark grew
toward her present greatness, Paterson became a centre
of industry, while in the west, Camden was recognized as
an available site for manufactures. The public school
system was established and extended, reforms in the car-
ing for the criminal, defective, delinquent and dependent
14 LIST OF GOVERNORS.
classes were instituted, railroads were reaching every town
of size, in the vicinity of New York and Philadelphia, fer-
ries were erected, banks established, post offices opened
and newspapers printed. In 1844, when social unrest was
most marked, the present State Constitution was adopted
by a large popular majority and needed reforms tending to
elevate the legal position of married women, imprisoned
debtors and bankrupts were adopted.
The year 1S60 brought a termination to the then impend-
ing conflict. While every other State north of Mason and
Dixon's line by 1850 had set the black man free, there were
still 236 negroes in bondage in New Jersey. The abolition
movement made slow progress and an anti-war party had
a decided following. But when the die was cast New Jer-
sey responded to the call for men and money. She fur-
nished 88,305 men, or within 10,501 of her entire militia. For
organizing, subsisting, supplying, supporting and trans-
porting her troops she paid $2,894,385, and upon the field
sustained the reputation for bravery she had won during
the days of Trenton and Monmouth.
Since the Civil War New Jersey has become the centre
of marvelous activity in nearly every line of human pro-
gress. Her mills clothe multitudes; within her borders are
found the termini of every railroad system of the United
States, with one exception, penetrating the South and
West; her market gardens feed 5,000,000 people; a series of
cities arisen upon the desolate sands of the sea shore fur-
nish health and pleasure to hundreds of thousands of vis-
itors; her mines supply iron, zinc and copper; her fisheries
are world-famous, and her farms and dairies are models.

18 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
OF THE
UNITED STATES.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes neces-
sary for one people to dissolve the political bands which
have connected them with another, and to assume, among
the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to
which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that
they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights; that am.ong these are life, lib-
erty and the pursuits of happiness. That, to secure these
rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed; that
whenever any form of government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish
it, and to institute a new government, laying its founda-
tions on such principles, and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
governments long established should not be changed for
light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience
hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But,
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing in-
variably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them
under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty,
to throw off such government, and to provide new guards
for their future security. Such has been the patient suffer-
ance of these colonies, and s-uch is now the necessity which
constrains them to alter their former systems of govern-
ment. The history of the present king of Great Britain is
a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having,
in direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny
over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to
a candid world:
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome
and necessary for the public good.
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 19
He has forbidden his Governors to pass laws of imme-
diate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their
operations till his assent should be obtained; and when so
suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation
of large districts of people, unless those people would re-
linquish the right of representation in the Legislature— a
right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places un-
usual, uncomfortable and distant from the repository of
their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them
into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for
opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights
of the people.
He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions,
to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative
powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the
people at large for their exercise; the State remaining, in
the meantime, exposed to all the dangers of invasions from
'without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these
States; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for the nat-
uralization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to en-
courage their migration hither, and raising the conditions
of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by re-
fusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the
tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of
their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither
swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their
substance.
He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies,
without the consent of our Legislatures.
He has affected to render the military independent of,
and superior to, the civil pov/er.
He has combined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdic-
tion foreign to our constitutions, and unacknowledged by
our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended leg-
islation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment,
for any murders which they should commit on the inhab-
itants of these States;
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
20 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
For imposing taxes on us without our consent;
For depriving- us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by
jury;
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended
offenses;
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a
neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary
government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render
it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing
the same absolute rule into these colonies;
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valu-
able laws, and altering, fundamentally, the forms of our
governments;
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring
themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all
cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out
of his protection, and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned
our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign
mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and
tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and
perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on
the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to be-
come the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to
fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrection among us, and has
endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the
merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is
an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and con-
ditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned
for redress, in the most humble terms; our repeated peti-
tions have been answered only by repeated injury. A
prince whose character is thus marked by every act which
may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been v.^anting in our attentions to our Brit-
ish brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of
attempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable
jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the cir-
cumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We
have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity,
and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common
kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inev-
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
21
itably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They,
too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consan-
guinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity,
which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we
hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace, friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States
of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to
the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our
intentions, do. in the name and by the authority of the
good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and de-
clare, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought
to be. Free and Independent States; that they are also ab-
solved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that
all political connection between them and the State of
Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and
that, as Free and Independent States, they have full power
to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and do all other acts and things which Inde-
pendent States may of right do. And, for the support of
this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of
Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our
lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

house in which it shall have originated, who shall enter
the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to re-
consider it; if, after such reconsideration, a majority of
the whole number of that house shall agree to pass the
bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, to the
other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered,

CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION, 1873.
CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION
OF 1873.
On April 4th, 1873, the Legislature passed a concurrent
resolution empowering- the Governor to appoint, by and
with the advice of the Senate, a commission of two persons
from each Congressional District, to suggest and propose
amendments to the State Constitution for submission to
and consideration by the next two Legislatures, and after-
wards to be submitted to a vote of the people.
On April 24th, of the same year. Governor Parker nomi-
nated the following gentlemen, who were duly confirmed
by the Senate:
First District— Benjamin F. Carter, Woodbury; Samuel
H. Grey, Camden. Second District— Mercer Beasley, Tren-
ton; John C. Ten Eyck, Mount Holly. Third District-
Robert S. Green, Elizabeth; John F. Babcock, New Bruns-
wick. Fourth District— Martin Ryerson and Jacob L.
Swayze, both of Newton. Fifth District— Augustus W.
Cutler, Morristown; Benjamin Buckley, Paterson. Sixth
District— Theodore Runyon and John W. Taylor, both of
Newark. Seventh District— Abraham O. Zabriskie and
Robert Gilchrist, both of Jersey City.
Shortly afterwards Chief Justice Mercer Beasley declined
to serve, and Philemon Dickinson, of Trenton, was ap-
pointed in his stead. Martin Ryerson resigned and Joseph
Thompson, of Somerset, was appointed to fill the vacancy.
Chancellor Theodore Runyon also declined and George J.
Ferry, of Orange, was appointed in his stead. Ex-Chan-
cellor Zabriskie was unanimously elected president of the
Commission, and upon his decease, which occurred in a
short time afterwards, Dudley S. Gregory, of Jersey City,
was appointed to fill the vacancy in the Seventh District.
John C. Ten Eyck was elected president, vice Zabriskie,
deceased. The secretaries were Joseph L. Naar and Ed-
ward J. Anderson, both of Trenton. Subsequently Robert
Gilchrist resigned and William Brinkerhoff, of Jersey City,
was appointed in his place. John W. Taylor also resigned
and Algernon S. Hubbell, of Newark, was appointed in his
place.
The first session of the Commission was held on May 8th,
1873, and the last on December 23d, of the same year. The
amendments submitted were partially adopted by the two
succeeding Legislatures, and were ratified by a vote of the
people at a special election held on September 7th, 1875.
92 CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION. 1894.
CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION
In pursuance of a Joint Resolution of the Legislature,
approved on May 17th, 1894. "for the appointment of Com-
missioners to report amendments of the system of juris-
prudence of this State, and provide for the election of cer-
tain officers by the people," Governor Werts sent the fol-
lowing' nominations to the Senate, all of which were con-
firmed:
At Large— John P. Stockton, Trenton; Allan L. McDer-
mott, Jersey City; Samuel H. Grey, Camden;, and William
Walter Phelps, Englewood.
First District— George Hires, Salem; Howard Carrow,
Camden. Second District— William M. Lanning, Trenton;
Edward D. Stokes, Mount Holly. Third District— Henry
Mitchell, Asbury Park; George C. Ludlow, New Bruns-
wick. Fourth District— John Franklin Fort, East Orange;
Carman F. Randolph, Morristown. Fifth District— Garret
A. Hobart, Paterscn; John D. Probst, Englewood. Sixth
District— Edward Balbach, Jr., and Frederick Freling-
huysen, Newark. Seventh District— Edwin A. Stevens,
Hoboken; Joseph D. Bedle, Jersey City. Eighth District-
John Kean, Jr., Elizabeth; John McC. Morrow, Newark.
Messrs. Hobart and Balbach declined to serve on the
Commission, and their places were filled by the appoint-
ment of Eugene Emley, of Paterson, and E. Cortlandt
Drake, of Newark.
On Tuesday, June 5th, the Commission met in the Senate
Chamber, at Trenton, and organized by the election of
Samuel H. Grey as President; George C. Ludlow, Vice
President, and Joseph L. Naar, of Trenton, Secretary.
The last session of the Commission was held on Septem-
ber 25th. Several amendments were suggested by the Com-
mission and submitted, through the Governor, to the Leg-
islature, none of which were adopted by that body.
THE STATE CAPITOL. 93
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
THE STATE CAPITOL.
This edifice, a massive structure, erected at sundry times
and various periods, is located on West State street, at
the corner of Delaware street, running thence westerly
along State street to the grounds of the late ex-Chancellor
Green, and southerly to the Water Power. The location
is a good one, and the building presents a very imposing
appearance.
The seat of Government was fixed at Trenton by an act
of the Legislature, approved November 25th, 1790. James
Cooper, Thomas Lowery, James Ewlng, Maskell Ewing,
George Anderson, James Mott and Moore Furman were
appointed commissioners to select, purchase or accept so
much land as was needed, and to erect thereon suitable
buildings for the use of the Legislature. They purchased
the present site, containing about three and three-quarters
acres— a frontage on Second street (now West State street)
of 247 feet and 6 inches, and a depth from the front to low
water line of the Delaware river of 666 feet— at a cost of
£250 5s. The old State House was a plain, bare-looking,
rough-cast building, and was erected at a cost of £3,992
3s. %d. By an act of March 4th, 1795, a building was
erected to serve as an office for the Secretary of State,
and for the preservation of the public records, at a cost
of £620 19s. lOd. Numerous improvements and repairs
were made, and on March 3d, 1806, an act was passed ap-
pointing commissioners to make certain repairs to the
State House, to provide and hang a suitable bell, &c. This
was done, and the bell was used for informing the mem-
bers of both houses, as well as the courts, of the hour
of meeting. The bell was eventually discarded, and an
American flag substituted, which waves from the build-
ing unto this day, when the Legislature is in session, and
upon holidays and State occasions. In 1848, the State
House was altered by the removal of the rough-casting,
and changing the front to the style of the Mercer County
Court House, placing neat porticoes over the front and
rear entrances, and erecting two additional buildings ad-
joining the main one, as offices for the Clerks of the
Chancery and wupreme Courts. The rotunda was also
erected, and the grounds fenced, graded, laid out and
shade trees planted, all at a cost of $27,000. The commis-
94 THE STATE CAPITOL.
sloners under whose direction the work was completed,
were Samuel R. Gummere, Samuel R. Hamilton and
Stacy A. Paxson. In 1863, '64 and '65, appropriations were
made and expended in building additions for the State
Library, Executive Chambers, &c. In 1871, Charles S.
Olden, Thomas J. Stryker and Lewis Perrine were ap-
pointed commissioners to cause a suitable addition to be
built— more commodious apartments for the Senate and
Assembly, &c. The sum of $50,000 was appropriated, and
the buildings for the Legislature were ready for occu-
pancy in time for the meeting of the Legislature in 1872.
In 1872, $120, COO was appropriated for completing the
building, $3,000 for fitting up the Executive Chamber,
$4,000 for fitting up the Chancery and Supreme Court
rooms, and $2,000 for fitting up the offices on the first floor
of the east wing. In 1S73, the sum of $43,000 was appro-
priated for the improvement of the front of the building,
completing unfinished repairs and improvements, and for
fitting up the Library, &c. On March 18th, 1875, the sum
of 215,000 was appropriated for the purpose of putting a
new three-story front to the building, and to fit up offices
on the second floor for the Clerks of the Court of Chan-
cery and Supreme Court, and for providing a suitable mu-
seum for geological specimens, and the battle-flags of
New Jersey volunteer regiments, carried during the war
of the Rebellion.
On March 21st, 18S5, the front portion was destroyed by
fire, and the Legislature appropriated $50,000 for rebuild-
ing, and, in 18S6, an additional appropriation of $225,000
was granted.
The new building was finished in 1889. It is of rectangu-
lar shape and of the Renaissance style of architecture,
with a frontage of one hundred and sixty feet on State
street, with a depth of sixty-seven feet, and three and a
half stories high, with a rotunda thirty-nine feet across,
which connects the new sectio nof the Capitol with the
original part. The rotunda is surmounted by a dome one
hundred and forty-five feet high.
The building has about sixty feet more frontage than
the former one, and approaches about ten feet nearer the
street.
The walls are constructed of solid, fire-proof, brick
masonry, faced with a light-colored stone from Indiana,
known as Salem Oolitic, with foundations and trimmings
of New Jersey free stone, from the Prallsville .quarries,
in Hunterdon county. The portico, door-head and trim-
THE STATE CAPITOL. 95
mings about the door are of the same material. The por-
tico, with balcony, is supported by massive pillars of pol-
ished granite and surmounted by the coat of arms of the
State.
The apartments used for offices are very spacious, fitted
throughout in the most approved modern style, and each
department is supplied with one or more of the finest
fire-proof vaults. The first and second stories are set
aside for offices, and the entire third story is used for
the State Library.
The old State Library apartments have been improved
and extended, and are now used as offices for the Attor-
ney-General, State Superintendent of Public Instruction
and Commissioner of Banking and Insurance. A new
story was added, which is used for the Geological Mu-
seum and State offices.
In 1891, a new Assembly Chamber was erected. The old
one was too small and poorly ventilated, and besides,
there was a lack of suitable committee rooms. The Leg-
islature of 1891 passed a Joint Resolution, which was ap-
proved on March 20th, authorizing the Governor "to pro-
vide a suitable chamber and committee rooms for the use
of the General Assembly of this State," &c., and also,
"to make such additions and alterations as will afford the
necessary accommodations for the Supreme Court and
Court of Errors and Appeals, or for other State offices,
and sufficient money is hereby appropriated for that pur-
pose, to be paid by the Treasurer of this State on the
warrant of the Comptroller, after approval by the Gov-
ernor."
The new chamber was built by James W. Lanning, of
Trenton, from plans prepared by James Moylan, of Jer-
sey City, and under the superintendency of Bernard J.
Ford of Newark. It covers the site of the former cham-
ber, and extends beyond it to Delaware street on the
east and to the water power on the south. It has a front-
age on Delaware street of 120 feet and a depth of 75 feet.
The exterior finish and design of the building are similar
to the adjoining portion of the Capitol. The foundation
is of brown stone, from the Stockton quarries, and the
trimmings of light Indiana stone. The interior is finish
ed in Trenton tile, quartered oak and Italian statuary
marble. It is a lire-proof building throughout, and is
specially ventilated. The committee rooms are ample and
convenient, and the interior design arrangement and fin-
ish make it a model legislative chamber. It cost the
9G THE STATE LIBRARY.
State $140,500. The cost of the steam heating and ventilat-
ing systems was about $25,000.
The other new addition to the Capitol provides a consul-
tation room for the Judges of the Supreme Court and the
Court of Errors and Appeals and a private room for the
Governor, a room for the Museum of the Geological Sur-
vey, and other offices, and cost $34,500.
An electric light apparatus was also placed in the Cap-
itol, which cost $23,000. Every department in the build-
ing is now lighted by electricity.
Two Otis elevators have been placed in the building,
which gives easy access to all the upper floors.
In 1900 the Legislature appropriated $96,000 for additions
and alterations to the Capitol, which included the cost of
an electric light plant.
A new Senate Chamber was erected in 1903, and was
ready for occupancy in 1904, at a cost of about $182,000. In
1904 about $60,000 was expended for other improvements
in the Capitol.
Another addition was made to the Capitol in 1907 at
a cost of about $100,000. It is a massive structure of a
classical style of architecture and is finished in stucco
to match the rest of the Capitol. It contains four
stories above a deep basement. The construction is
fire-proof, consisting of solid brick walls, steel beams
and columns and concrete floors. The exterior is at-
tractive with its classic lines and Indiana limestone
trimmings. The structure was designed and all the
plans drawn by George E. Poole, State Architect.
THE STATE LIBRARY.
This valuable collection of books is located on the third
floor of the State Capitol. The old saying, "Great oaks
from little acorns grow," most appropriately applies to
this institution.
The first library of the State was a case ordered to be
procured by Maskell Ewing, Clerk of the House of As-
sembly, for the keeping and preservation of such books
as belonged to the Legislature. It was ordered by a reso-
lution passed March 18th, 1796. This was the nucleus of
the present extensive library. On February 18th, 1804,
William Coxe, of Burlington; Ezra Darby, of Essex, and
John A. Scudder, of Monmouth, were appointed a Com-
mittee on Rules to make a catalogue; they reported that
there were 168 volumes belonging to the State, and pre-
sented a code of seven rules, which was adopted. On
THE STATE ARSENAL. 97
February 10th, 1813, an act (the first one) was passed, en-
titled "An act concerning the State Library." Up to 1822
it appears that the Clerk of the House had charge of
the books, as Librarian, and, on November 16th, 1822, an
act was passed for the appointment of a State Librarian,
annually, by joint meeting. In 1846, on April 10th, an act
was passed making the term of office three years. The
Law Library at that time belonged to the members of
the Law Library Association. The only persons allowed
the use of the Library were members of the Association,
the Chancellor, and the judges of the several courts.
Stacy G. Potts was Treasurer and Librarian of the Asso-
ciation. The Law Library was kept in the Supreme Court
room until 1837, when the Legislature authorized the
State Librarian to fit up a room adjoining the Library
for the care and reception of the books and papers be-
longing to the State Library. Thus the two Libraries
wer consolidated. On March 13th, 1872, $5,000 per year for
three years was appropriated for the Library by the Leg-
islature, and by the act of March 15th, 1876, the sum of
$2,500 was appropriated for finishing and refurnishing the
Library room. In 1890, the Library was removed to the
third story of the new part of the Capitol.
In 1904 the Legislature made a special appropriation of
$15,000 for the installation of steel stacks, and the shelf-
space was doubled. There is room now for more than
125,000 books and pamphlets. About the same time the
decimal classification system was introduced and the
work of making a modern card catalogue begun, which
was practically finished in 1905.
TilE STATE ARSENAL.
The building now used as the State Arsenal was form-
erly the old State Prison. It is situate on Second street,
in the Sixth Ward of the city of Trenton, and has on its
front the following inscription:
Labor, Silence, Penitence.
The Penitentiary House.

Crimes May Learn to Fear the Laws
And be Useful.
Hie Labor, Hoc Opus.
98 STATE HOSPITALS.
In the messages of Governors P. D. Vroom and S. L.
Southard, recommending thp °'-«rtion of the new prison,
it was proposed that the old one be converted into an
Arsenal for the safe keeping of the arms and military
property of the State, which, previous to that time, had
been kept In the old State Bank, corner of Warren and
Bank streets, with accoutrements and camp and garrison
equipage at the State House. After the removal of the
State convicts from the old prison, permission was given
to the county of Mercer to occupy it as a jail until its
jail, then in course of completion, was finished, and when
it was again vacated it was converted into an arsenal.
Among the stores, &c., at the Arsenal are one bronze
gjn, French, of the date of 1758; two bronze guns, Eng-
lish, four-pounders, and two iron six-pounders. There is
also one gun captured at the battle of Trenton, December
26th, 1776, and two guns captured at Yorktown, October
19th, 1781. There are also a large quantity of fire-arms,
ammunition, ordnance, tents, clothing, blankets, &c.
STATE HOSPITAL.
Trenton.
This institution is located on the right bank of the
Delaware River, about two miles northwest of the
City Hall. The buildings are constructed of reddish
sandstone, obtained from quarries near the hospital,
and are located on an elevation of about seventy-five
feet above the river. The front of the Main, or Ad-
ministration Building, is ornamented by a handsome
porch of Ionic architecture, designed by the celebrated
Notman, from which may be obtained one of the finest
landscape views in the State.
In 1844, after repeated and unsuccessful attempts
to cause action to be taken by the Legislature for
the building of a State institution for the special care
and treatment of the insane, a commission was ap-
pointed, chiefly through the earnest efforts of Dr.
Lyndon A. Smith, of Essex, and Dr. Lewis Condict,
of Morris, and the eminent philanthropist, Miss D. L.
Dix, to select a site. An appropriation of $35,000 was
made to purchase the land and to commence the erec-
tion of the building. The present site was selected
by the commissioners from among many that were
offered in various sections of the State, because of
STATE HOSPITALS. 99
the large spring- of excellent water found on the place.
This spring- was developed, and furnished a daily
supply of about one-half million of gallons of pure
water for many years. In the severe drought of 1880
the supply was greatly diminished, falling off nearly
two hundred and fifty thousand gallons. In 1907 the
city sewer, running about 200 feet from the spring,
burst or overflowed, and this caused contamination of
the water supply, resulting in a typhoid epidemic, so
that it was necessary to discontinue the use of the
spring. At present the hospital is supplied with
water by six artesian wells, one of which gives 150
gallons of water per minute. The spring has been
filled up, and thus an important landmark destroyed.
Work was commenced on the main building in No-
vember of 1845, and the hospital was opened for the
reception of patients on the 15th day of May, 1848.
Numerous additions have been made from time to
time to the building, increasing its capacity from fifty
patients, in 1848, to 1,348 in 1908.
In 1887 the Legislature passed an act appropriating
$100,000 for providing additional accommodations. The
new building is a handsome structure of red sand-
stone, and similar to that used in the main building.
This is five hundred feet long, three stories in height,
and capable of accommodating three hundred patients,
one hundred and fifty of each. The building is de-
signed to accommodate the chronic incurable class,
and was a great relief from the overcrowded state
hat existed in the main building prior to its comple-
tion. The building was completed within the appro-
priation, and opened for the reception of patients
in the month of October, 1889.
Since the opening of the institution in May, 1848,
there have been received and treated 13,480 patients.
At the close of the fiscal year, October 31st,
1908, there were under care of the hospital 1,302 pa-
tients — 654 men and 648 women. Much has been done
for the comfort and pleasure of the patients. A green-
house has been erected for the purpose of furnishing
plants and flowers for the patients' corridors, hand-
some pictures adorn the walls, and everything about
the hospital presents a comfortable and homelike ap-
pearance.
The institution possesses a library, one of the larg-
100 STATE HOSPITALS.
est, if not the largest, in this country, connected with
a hospital for the insane. The books are accessible
to all members of the household. They have been
freely used, and do much to relieve the monotony of
many an hour of hospital life. The library now con-
sists of about 4,000 volumes, and is the result of the
bequest of a former nurse (Anne Robinson) who, by
will, bequeathed her earnings for several years as a
nurse and attendant in this hospital. She made the
bequest, as she herself expressed it when making her
will, for the purpose of purchasing books to be used
for the pleasure and benefit of those to whom she
had, for so many years, endeavored to minister.
During the year 1898 a handsome amusement room,
capable of seating about four hundred, was finished;
also, a large and commodious chapel, in which relig-
ious exercises are held from time to time; various
clergymen, without regard to denominational prefer-
ence, officiate every Sunday. The new chapel is capa-
ble of seating about five hundred patients. In 1904-
1905 an appropriation of $250,000 was made for the
erection of two additional wings to the annex build-
ing, which will accommodate 400 more patients. In
1905 the Legislature appropriated $12,500 for the con-
struction of fire escapes.
A few years ago a modern laboratory building was
erected, and at the present time is fully equipped for
scientific w^ork.
In 1907 the new wings, spoken of above, were opened
for the reception of patients, so that now the hospital
is not overcrowded.
In 1908 the Legislature appropriated $111,000 for
extraordinary improvements, which included instal-
lation of modern plumbing throughout the buildings,
also tiling for toile rooms, water sections, etc.
The building for tuberculosis patients is now being
erected, which will accommodate twenty-five, known
as the "open air" ward.
Since January 1st, 1908, there has been no mechan-
ical restraint of any kind used in the hospital. All
restraint apparatus, chairs, straight jackets, straps,
etc., have been removed from the hospital building,
and are stored away w^here no one can get at them.
STATE HOSPITAI.S. 101
STATE HOSPITAL.
Morris Plains.
Further provision for the accommodation of the in-
sane being- made necessary by the overcrowded con-
dition of the State Hospital at Trenton, the Legislature
of 1871 appointed a commission to select a site and
build a hospital in the northern part of the State.
At a cost of $78,732.36 a tract of 408 acres of land,
beautifully situated in the hills of Morris County,
was purchased and work on the hospital buildings
beg-un.
Additional tracts of land have since been purchased
at a cost of $32,318.00, making a total of 852 acres,
at a total cost of $111,050. The original building, now
known as the "Main Building," was erected, at a cost
of $2,511,622. The "Dormitory Building" and a new
reservoir, made necessary by its construction, cost,
when completed, about $650,000; a new laundry build-
the annual appraisement placed the personal prop-
erty of the hospital at $294,709, thus making the total
cost of the entire plant approximately $3,605,581.
The location is ideal for an institution caring for
the mentally afflicted, and is unsurpassed in this par-
ticular by any similar institution in the United States.
The buildings command a magnificent view of the
surrounding country, and the air is cool and balmy In
Summer and crisp and stimulating in Winter.
The main building, opened in 1876, is four stories
in height, 1,243 feet in length, 542 in depth, and has
ten acres of floor space, it contains the executive
ofl^ces, receptions rooms, medical library, chapel,
amusement hall and forty wards, which, when crowded
to their full capacity, will accommodate 1,200 patients.
In 1901 the dormitory building was completed. It
is situated 1,200 feet in the rear of the main building,
accommodates 600 patients, and is constructed on the
day room and dormitory plan. On the fourth floor
of the building are well-equipped pathological and
chemical laboratories, five splendidly-lighted rooms on
the top floor of the northeast tower being devoted to
this work. The laboratories have been well equipped
with many of the latest and best instruments for the
prosecution of scientific, clinical and research work,
and have proved to be a highly important adjunct to
the purely psychiatric work of the hospital.
A cottage for nurses was built in 1906. This is a
102 STATE HOSPITALS.
three-story brick building-, trimmed with sandstone,
and is situated in front and to the south of the main
group of buildings. It is within easy access of the
female wards, and affords sleeping quarters for forty
female nurses, who formerly, after working daily fif-
teen hours with the insane, were compelled to spend
their nights in the wards, in close proximity to noisy
and disturbed patients. In addition to furnishing ac-
commodation for the night, the cottage has a recep-
tion room and library, where the nurses may spend
their time when off duty.
A Training School for Nurses was established in
1894, and it has proved to be of great advantage to
the hospital in the humane care and treatment of the
insane. A graded two-years' course is given to the
nurses, and consists of lectures and practical demon-
strations given by the medical staff in anatomy, physi-
ology, materia medica and therapeutics, chemistry
and toxicology, obstetrics and gynecology, genito-
urinary diseases, practice of medicine, minor sur-
gery, practical bedside nursing and bandaging. The
course is compulsory upon all who are employed as
attendants, and since the establishment of the school
154 persons have been granted diplomas.
Further provision for the scientific treatment of
patients has been made by the equipment of rooms,
both in the male and in the female departments, with
complete hydortherapeutic apparatus and by the in
stallation of electrotherapeutic appliances, and a pow-
erful static machine i,n a room in the main buildinq-,
convenient to both male and female departments.
A room has also been set apart and fully equipped
with instruments and appliances for the examination
and treatment of patients suffering from diseased con-
ditions of the eye, ear, nose and throat.
The medical library contains over 1,300 volumes of
carefully-selected text books and reference works on
medical and other scientific subjects, together with
well-bound volumes of the annual reports of every
hospital for the insane in the United States, Canada,
South American States and many of the countries in
Europe.
Among the many improvements added in recent
years is a new system of keeping case records. The
complete record of each patient from the time he
enters the hospital until he is discharged is kept in a
separate envelope, filed vertically in steel cabinets
especially constructed for the purpose. The files are
NORMAL. AND MODEL. SCHOOLS. 103
thoroughly cross-indexed, which permits of needful
information being rapidly and easily obtained in any
given case.
Additional protection from fire is being provided
for the patients by the installation of five spiral fire
escapes of the most approved form.
In order to give the hospital a better mail service,
the government, on March 23, 1908, established a new-
post office in the main building of the hospital, and
named it Greystone Park. The mail matter, of the
institution was formerly handled at Morris ' Plains
post office, which is one and one-half miles from the
building. This frequently occasioned considerable de-
lay in the delivery of important letters, and the new
office is found to be of great convenience to the hos-
pital community.
Since the opening of the hospital, in 1876, 8,877
patients have been admitted, 2,133 have been cured,
1,389 discharged in a greatly improved mental condi-
tion, and 581 discharged unimproved. The institu-
tion has an average yearly increase of about fifty in
population. On September 1, 1908, there were 1,950
patients under care and treatment in the hospital.
NORMAL AND MODEL. SCHOOLS.
Trenton.
These schools are the property of the State, and are
located at the junction of Perry street and Clinton ave-
nue, Trenton. There are two buildings, the one for the
schools located on the west side of Clinton avenue, the
other, containing the boarding halls and dormitories, sit-
uated on the east side of the avenue. These schools were
established in 1855 by an act of the Legislature. The pur-
pose of the Normal School was defined to be "the train-
ing and education of its pupils in such branches of knowl-
edge, and such methods of teaching and governing, as
will qualify them for teachers of our common schools,"
The Model School was designed to be a place where "the
pupils of the Normal School shall have opportunity to
observe and practice the modes of instruction and disci-
pline inculcated in the Normal School, and in which pu-
pils may be prepared for the Normal School.
The following figures show the first cost to the State
and the present valuation of the Normal School prop-
erty. The first cost to the State has been supplemented
from time to time by the contributions of private individ-
uals, and by balances from he Boarding Hall receipts
after meeting the annual expenses of the Hall.

THE MONTCLAIR STATE NORMAL, SCHOOL..
Montclair, Essex County.
The increasing- demand for professionally trained
teachers, and the inability of the present State Nor-
mal School, at Trenton, to meet it, led to the passage
of a resolution by the Legislature of 1902 directing
the State Board of Education to investigate as to the
need of increased normal school accommodations and
how best to provide them, should the board find the
present accommodations inadequate.
In its study of the question the board discovered
that there were 7,561 teachers in the public schools
of the State, and that of this number 2,224 were grad-
uates of normal schools, 457 were college graduates,
and 1,663 graduates of city training schools, leaving
3,217 teachers, or nearly one-half of the entire num-
ber, who had not had any special training. Of the
graduates of normal schools employed, nearly forty
per cent, came from other States, notwithstanding the
fact that the New Jersey State Normal School was
working to its full capacity.
In its report to the Legislature in 1903 the board
recommended that a normal school be erected in the
northern part of the State. In 1904 the Legislature
appropriated $25,000 for the purchase of a site. The
board, after inspecting numerous sites, finally pur-
chased a plot in the northern part of Montclair, in
Essex County, at a cost of $25,000. The plot contains
twenty-five acres and is 400 feet above sea level, giv-
ing an uninterrupted view of Newark and surrounding
towns and of the bridges and skyscrapers of New
York City. The plot is large enough to accommodate
the school building and dormitories, should it be found
necessary in the future to provide them, and also lo
give a large campus and sufficient ground for illus-
trating methods of teaching agriculture, which will
in the near future be as important a subject in trie
106 MONTCLAIR NORMAL SCHOOL.
ing, S18,200; the nurses' cottage, $20,000, and In 1907
curriculum of a well organized normal school as illus-
trating the methods of teaching chemistry or litera-
ture is at present. Within a radius of ten miles from
the site selected there is a population of more than
one million.
In 1906 the Legislature appropriated $275,000 for
the erection and furnishing of the building. The plans
were prepared by State Architect George E. Poole and
Assistant Architect Francis H. Bent, of the Depart-
ment of Charities and Corrections. The mission style
of architecture was adopted, and the material is brick
covered with pure white stucco, the roof being red tile.
The building is 334 feet long and 133 feet deep, the
centre and wings projecting. In front is an esplanade
260 feet long and 44 feet wide, protected by a con-
crete wall from which steps descend to the lawn.
In the basement are the manual training and do-
mestic science rooms, four rooms for observation
classes, locker and dressing rooms, showers, recrea-
tion and lunch rooms.
On the main floor are the board room, the princi-
pal's offices, a library 32x60 feet, the study hall and
gymnasium, each 57x76 feet, two large lecture rooms
and eight class rooms. The study hall and gymnasium
have ceilings twenty-five feet high, giving ample
space for gallery and running track, respectively.
On the second floor is the drawing room, 32x60 feet,
with high ceiling and north light, three lecture rooms,
large laboratories for chemistry, physics, botany and
zoology, and dark rooms for photography. Teacher.s'
rooms are provided on each floor.
The finish is in hard pine, except the study hall,
which is in white and gold. The study hall will also
be used as the auditorium. The walls of the labora-
tories are of white tile and the floors of cement. The
walls of the gymnasium are of cream-colored brick.
The heating and ventilating plant is in a separate
structure, located some distance from the main build-
ing. The cost of the buildings, exclusive of furniture
and grading, will be less than $250,000.
The school was formally opened on Monday, Sep-
tember 28, 1908. Addresses were made by Governor
Fort, President Hays, of the State Board of Education,
Edward Russ, chairman of the Building Committee,
and others.
THE STATE HOME FOR BOYS. 107
The regular sessions of the school began September
15, 1908, with an attendance of 187 pupils.
The Principal is Dr. Charles S. Chapin, formerly
Principal of the Rhode Island State Normal School.
The school may be reached in three ways:
1. By Erie Railroad — Greenwood Lake Division. The
Montclair Heights station adjoins the grounds of the
Normal School.
2. By D. L. and W. Railroad to Montclair station,
thence by Valley Road trolley to the grounds.
3. By Bloomfield Avenue trolley with transfer at
Valley Road to Valley Road trolley.
Passengers by the Pennsylvania Railroad to Newark
can take Bloomfield Avenue trolley at Newark station.
Passengers by the Central Railroad of New Jersey
to Newark can take Bloomfield Avenue trolley at cor-
ner of Market and Broad Streets, Newark.
THE STATE HOME FOR BOYS.
"The New Jersey State Reform School" was estab-
lished by act of the Legislature approved April 6th, 1865.
A farm of 490 acres was purchased for the purpose near
Jamesburg, Middlesex county.
The first boy was received July 6th, 1867. Its first Sup-
erintendent was Rev. Luther H. Sheldon, who was in
office from April 10th, 1867, till April 1st, 1874, and was
succeeded by James H. Eastman, who was Superinten-
dent from April 1st, 1874, till September 15th, 1884. Upon
his withdrawal Ira Otterson was made acting Superin-
tendent, and on December 10th, 1884, he was elected Sup-
erintendent. In 1902 Mr. Otterson was succeeded by John
Wildes who, March 1, 1904, gave way to John C. Kalleen.
In 1900 the name of The Reform School was changed to
the State Home for Boys.
Since founding the school, beside the Administration
building, there have been erected on the campus eight
family buildings (two of them double buildings), capa-
ble of accommodating fifty boys each, a chapel, hos-
pital, store and cook house, industrial building, elec-
tric light, heat and power, generating station and
farm buildings, all of brick, many of the buildings
constructed with bricks manufactured by the boys on
the place.
Besides domestic and farm labor, all boys are instruct-
ed In the rudiments of an English school education, and
108 STATE HOME FOR GIRLS.
many receive instruction in different meclianical brandies
and band music.
In 1900 there was erected by boys' labor, under regular
instructors, a building 40 by 100 feet, two stories high, in
which are established schools for trade teaching. While
in the past, so far as the accommodations would permit,
a number of boys have received instruction in mechan-
ical trades, and with the accommodations furnished in
the new building, a greater number of boys receive a
more thorough knowledge in lines of skilled handicraft,
which will the better prepare them to become good citi-
zens.
In 1908 there were 530 boys in the institution.
STATE HOME FOR GIRLS.
This Institution is located on the line of the Trenton
Branch of the Delaware and Bound Brook Railroad, in
Ewing township, near the Trenton State Hospital, and is
located on a farm of about 79 acres of land. A substan-
tial building was erected at a cost of $23,334, and other
improvements since made bring the value of the place,
with furniture, &c., up to $140,000. Previous to the erec-
tion of the new building, the school was at "Pine Grove,"
in the Sixth Ward of the city of Trenton. This place
had been leased so as to afford room for persons sen-
tenced under the act of April 4th, 1871, and a subsequent
act. The Legislature of ISOO appropriated $30,000 for the
erection of an additional building. In 1900 and 1901 about
$31,000 was spent for improvements and the Legislature
of 1905 appropriated $45,000 for the erection of a new cot-
tage and about $9,000 for various other improvements.
The institution is for girls between the ages of ten and
nineteen years who may be committed to it by the courts.
In 1908 there were 170 inmates.
THE STATE PRISON.
The New Jersey State Prison, situated on the block en-
closed by Federal, Third, Cass and Second streets, in the
city of Trenton, is one of the finest institutions of its
kind in the country. Its erection was authorized by an
act of the Legislature passed February 13th, 1832, and it
was completed in the year 1S36. having 150 cells, at a cost
of $179,657,11. It was built of red sand-stone, from the
Ewing quarries, and the style of its architecture is Egyp-
tian, having four Egyptian columns in front of the main

entrance, on Third street. It consists of a main building,
used as a residence for the Keeper and as reception
rooms and offices. From time to time the prison has been
enlarged, and although there is not sufficient room to
afford separate confinement for each prisoner, as requir-
ed by law, the provisions of the act are carried out as far
as possible. The rules and regulations now in force have
brought the internal affairs of the institution, as to clean-
liness, discipline, victualing, &c., to a much higher stand-
ard than was ever before reached, and a visit thereto will
convince the visitor that the management is as perfect
as can be.
Previous to the year 1798 there was no State Prison,
and prisoners were confined in the county jails. On
March 1st, 1797, Jonathan Doane was appointed by an act
of the Legislature as an agent to purchase a lot of land
from Peter Hunt, situate at Lamberton, containing: six
and a half acres, and to erect suitable buildings thereon.
This was done at an expense of £9,842 Os. 3d., and what is
now the State Arsenal, at Second and Cass streets, is
the result. Solitary confinement was not practiced pre-
vious to 1836, in which year the old prison was vacated
and the present one occupied.
On March 4th, 1847, $5,000 was appropriated to build an
additional wing to the original building. On March 25th,
1852, $15,000 was granted for the erection of a new wing
for hospital purposes. On March 22d, 1860, the sum of
$17,000 was voted for the purpose of building an additional
wing for cells, and on February 16th, 1861, a further sum
of $2,243.01 was appropriated to complete the same. On
April 16th, 1868, $6,000 was appropriated for the building of
an additional wing to provide room for female convicts.
An act passed April 2d, 1869, provided for the appoint-
ment of commissioners to extend the grounds of the
prison to the wall of the State Arsenal, to build an ad-
ditional wing and workshops, and made an appropriation
of $50,000 for that purpose, and in the same month $9,734
was appropriated for the purpose of completing the wing
of the female department. On April 4th, 1871, the sum
of .$75,000 was appropriated for the purpose of completing
the new or east wing, and on April 4th, 1872, a further
sum of $28,700 was appropriated for the completion of the
same. March 3d, 1874, $12,000 was voted for the con-
struction of gas works for the supply of illuminating gas
for the prison. On March 8th, 1877, the sum of $100,000
was appropriated for the enlargement of the prison and
110 HOME FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS.
the purchase of a burial ground for deceased convicts.
The north wing was remodeled out of this last appro-
priation and a burial ground purchased. The Legislature
of 1895 appropriated $150,000 for the enlargement and im-
provement of the prison. The Legislature of 1899 appro-
priated $14,000 for alterations in the women's wing of the
prison. In 1905 $250,000 was appropriated for the erection
of a new wing, and It was finished in 1907. The addi-
tion, which Is at the northeast corner of the institu-
tion, Is one of the most complete In the United States.
There are five tiers, each having seventy cells. The
Interior is wholly of steel and concrete. The cells are
separated from the outer walls by a passageway for
the keepers and the entire section of each tier is com-
pletely enclosed in a cage of steel. Thirty-five cells
are controlled by a combination looking device, al-
though any one cell door or a series of doors can be
thrown open by a lever system from the end of the
corridor where the locking device Is located. Between
the cell sections there is a narrow utility court from
which the ventilation Is controlled and v^'here the sani-
tary parts can be reached without any necessity for
going into the cells. Each cell has a steel cot, porce-
lain washstand and sanitary arrangement and Is light-
ed by electricity. Special attention has been given to
ventilation. A death house was also built on the prison
grounds in 1907 to comply with the law regarding the
electrocution of persons .condemned to death.
THE NEW JERSEY HOME FOR DISABLED
SOLDIERS.
This institution Is located in Kearny, Hudson county.
It originated in the mind of Governor Marcus L. Ward
just before the close of the Civil War. His petition to
the Legislatures of 1863-64 resulted in the passage of an
act on April 12th, 1864, appointing himself, ex-Governors
Daniel Haines, William A. Newell and Charles S. Olden,
and Edwin A. Stevens and Rynear H. Veghte as com-
missioners to examine into and report on the subject. On
February 1, 1865, they made their report to Governor
Parker and the Legislature appropriated $50,000 for the
desired purpose. Grounds were purchased in the city of
Newark and in March, 1866, the same commissioners were
appointed managers of the Home. The board appointed
Colonel A. N. Dougherty, Commandant; Rev. Samuel T.
HOME FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS, ETC. Ill
Moore, Superintendent and Chaplain, and Dr. A. M. Mills,
Surgeon, of the Home. It was opened for reception on
July 4th, 1866. For twenty-two years the Home remained
in Newark, when a new site was selected in Kearny. This
comprises about sixteen acres and $225,000 was appro-
priated for the buildings, furnishings, &c. On October
4th, 1888, the old home was vacated and the new home
occupied. The New Jersey Home is the parent of similar
institutions throughout the country. In order to gain ad-
mission to the Home the applicant must have served in
the army, navy or marine service and been honorably
discharged therefrom. He must have lived in the State
for at least two years next preceding date of application,
and must be unable to earn a living for himself by man-
ual labor. Since 1888 various additions have been made
at a cost of about $58,000.

SAILORS OR MARINES AND THEIR WIVES.
Vineland.
This Home was organized in 1898, the sum of $5,000 hav-
ing been appropriated for the purpose. A plot of ground,
comprising 20 acres, and a building containing about 75
rooms and basement, situated in the town of Vineland,
were purchased for a Home, and in 1899 an additional
appropriation of $21,500 was made to pay for the prop-
erty. In the same year the sum of $20,000 was appro-
priated for altering, repairing and furnishing the build-
ings. In 1900 a special appropriation of $13,000 was made
for new floors, porches. laundry machinery, engine and
boiler and furniture. The Home was opened in Decem-
ber, 1899, for the admission of inmates and the first were
admitted January 2d. 1900. In 1901 the sum of $7,700 was
appropriated for an elevator, alterations and appliances,
making the cost of building and land $67,200. In 1903 nine
acres of additional land was purchased at a cost of $2,000
and the same year an act was passed by the Legislature
providing for the care and maintenance of widows of vet-
ems, and the sum of $28,000 was appropriated for the con-
struction and furnishing of buildings necessary to carry
out the provisions of the act. An additional sum of $2,500
was appropriated for extra work and the building was
completed and ready for occupancy in July, 1904.
Since then two new wings, each eighty feet long and
containing some 120 rooms, have been added, and a
112 SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF,
separate boiler house in the rear of the main build-
ings erected. A new heating: and lighting plant has
been installed, and other marked improvements for
the care and comforts of the inmates completed. Ev«n
with these large additions, the Home is filled to ils
capacity, the membership at the close of the last fiscal
year, October 31, 1908, being 249 persons-85 males
, and 164 females.
SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
This Institution, which is located at Trenton, is a part
of the public school system of the State, and is open to
deaf residents of the State between the ages of six and
twenty-one years. The pupils are instructed ' In the
branches of common-school education, and are also train-
ed in some handicraft. Speech is taught to all who can
acquire it, and with such success that in some classes it
becomes the principal means of communication.
The industrial department is larger and better equip-
ped than in most schools of this kind. From the printing
office is issued monthly a paper, the Silent Worker,
which, in point of mechanical execution and of quality
of contents, ranks as the best issued from any institution
in the country. All the work on this paper is performed
by pupils of the school.
The wood-working department, under the charge of a
graduate of a technical school of high rank, has a course
in which theory and practice are united in an unusual de-
gree.
A course of kindergarten work, especially adapted to
the deaf child, has been worked out in the school and
has been followed by some of the best schools of the kind
in this country.
A building for hospital purposes, designed in accord-
ance with the best modern practice and ample to meet
any possible need, was opened in 1899.
The attendance of pupils has risen from 125 in June
1896, until at the present time it is about 160.
The school possesses a well chosen library, which at
present contains about 4,000 volumes, and is rapidlv
growing.
HOME FOR FEEBLE-MINDED WOMEN. 113
home: for the care and training op feeble-
minded WOMEN.
Vineland.
This institution was established by virtue of the act of
March 27th, 1888, the late S. Olin Garrison, who drafted
the original law, being its first superintendent. On No-
vember 7th, of the same year, he was succeeded by Mary
J. Dunlap, M. D., the present incumbent. Upon organ-
ization of the first board of managers, the late Hon.
Alexander G. Catell, of Camden county, was chosen
President, a place he acceptably filled until his death. He
was succeeded by the Hon. Benjamin F. Lee, of Mercer
county. Clerk of the Supreme Court, who has since occu-
pied the position. Mrs. Emily E. H. Williamson, of Union
county, has been secretary of the board from its organiz-
ation. The first treasurer was the Hon. Belmont Perry,
of Gloucester county, he being succeeded by ex-Senator
Philip P. Baker, of Cumberland county; the late Senator
Barton F. Thorn, of Burlington county, and George B.
Thorn, Esq., of Burlington county, the present incum-
bent.
As its official title suggests, this institution has for its
object the care and training of feeble minded women.
Its location in a peculiarly healthful and fertile portion
of the State, the plan and scope of the buildings, as well
as their equipment and the employment of modern ad-
ministrative methods, make the Home a subject for fav-
orable comparison with any similar institution in the
country. The property consists of about 50 acres.
The most conspicuous building of the Home is that de-
voted to purposes of administration and instruction, in-
cluding dormitories and a gymnasium. There is also a
laundry, a power-house, with heating apparatus, and
pump for raising the sewage of the home into the Vine-
land system. Fire escapes and a water tower give pro-
tection to the State's wards. All the buildings are light-
ed with gas or electricity.
For Board of Managers see list of State officers.
TRAINING SCHOOL, FOR FEEBLE-MINDED
CHILDREN.
Vineland.
This public institution is an outgrowth of a private one,
which Prof. S. Olin Garrison established in Millville, Cum-
berland county, on September 1st, 1887. It was opened at
114 STATE VILLAGE FOR EPILEPTICS.
VIneland, on March 1st, 1888, with an enrollment of ten
Inmates. Adjacent properties were soon acquired and a
handsome building, costing about $18,000, was erected In
1890-91. Tliere are eleven cottages, besides a hospital,
large barns, shops and manual training rooms, located
on a farm of 250 acres. The school has a fine assem-
bly hall, seating over 600, and also containing seven
school rooms, drill room and a gymnasium. The De-
partment of Research has a well equipped laboratory,
where studies as to the cause and prevention of feeble-
mindedness are carried on.
The plan and scope of training and education by the
school, require fourteen teachers in English, Kindergar-
ten, Music, Physical Culture and Manual Trades depart-
ments, thereby Indicating the special and comprehensive
fields of instruction. There is also a custodial depart-
ment for the Idiotic.
The property is worth over $250,000, real and personal,
with a debt of only $21,000. Besides very good prop-
erty acquisitions at low cost, at least $150,000 have
been donated to the school since its organization, to
aid in the current expenses, in improvements and new
buildings.
On November 1st, 1908, there were 375 boys and girls
in the institution.
STATE VILLAGE FOR EPILEPTICS.
Skillman, Somerset County.
This village is located In Montgomery township, Somer-
set county, about one mile from Skillman Station, on the
line of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. The loca-
tion is one of the most beautiful and healthful In the
State, and Is admirably adapted for the purposes of this
kind of an institution. The managers have secured three
adjoining farms containing in all about five hundred
acres.
The three farm houses are now being used, one for the
Administration building, one for male and one for female
patients.
In 1884 Dr. John W. Ward, Superintendent of the State
Hospital at Trenton, realizing the necessity of separating
the epileptics from the insane, went before a legislative
committee and strongly urged the appropriation of $50,-
000 to erect a building upon the grounds of that Institu-
STATE VILLAGE FOR EPILEPTICS. 115
tion for the proper care of the epileptics. The late Prof.
S. Olin Garrison, Principal of the New Jersey Training
School for Feebie-Minded Children, at Vineland, early re-
cognized the necessity of separate provision for the epi-
leptics in that institution, and was indefatigable in his
efforts to establish the present village.
For a number of years the subject was agitated, and
in 1895, in accordance with a resolution passed by the
Legislature, the Governor appointed a commission to in-
vestigate the number and condition of epileptics in the
State. The report of the commission was presented to
the Legislature of 1896 and a bill was introduced for the
establishment of a colony on a plan recommended by the
commission. The bill failing to become a law, the New
Jersey State Medical Society, by resolution at their an-
nual meeting in 1896, endorsed the necessity of such
legislation. In 1897 the President, Dr. Thomas J. Smith,
of Bridgeton, most ably presented the necessity of pro-
viding for the epileptics, and urged that the State author-
ities be importuned most earnestly to revive the move-
ment initiated the year before to establish an industrial
epileptic colony in our State. The Society reaffirmed its
position, and appointed a committee to urge the matter
further.
Through the combined efforts of those interested and
with the zealous co-operation of Senator Stokes, of Cum-
berland, who had charge of the legislation, an act was
passed by the Legislature of 1898, and promptly signed by
Acting Governor Voorhees, making the necessary provi-
sions for the establishment of the institution. The sum
of $15,000 was appropriated for the purchase of a site and
to pay for the equipment and maintenance of the vil-
lage. The "Maplewood Farm," containing about 187
acres, was purchased for $11,500, and the village was
opened for the reception of male patients November 1st,
of the same year.
The Legislature of 1900 appropriated $30,000 for the erec-
tion of two cottages for patients, and $16,000 for the pur-
chase of two farms adjoining the property. Additional
appropriations were made in 1901, '02, '03, '04 and '05,
aggregating about $200,000 for extensions and im-
provements. All epileptics of either sex, over five
years of age, and not insane, are admitted.
IIG NEW JERSEY REFORMATORY.
NEW JERSEY REFORMATORY.
Rahway.
In 1895 the Legislature passed an act, approved by
Governor Werts on March 28 of taat year, providing
for the appointment of a commission to consist of
six persons, who were charged with the duty of build-
ing an intermediate prison for the criminal classes.
The commission was authorized to set apart the prop-
erty known as the Edgar farm, located in Union and
Middlesex Counties, and then "belonging to the State
Sinking Fund.
If it were found necessary they were authorized to
purchase adjoining property for the completion of
the site at a cost not to exceed ten thousand dollars,
but this authority was not availed of.
The institution, when completed, was designed to
accommodate not less than one thousand inmates,
and the sum of one hundred thousand dollars was ap-
propriated to begin the work.
The site now comprises about eighty-five acres.
That which is not occupied by the buildings or en-
closed within a stockade surrounding the same, fur-
nishes occupation to the inmates, and is devoted to
the purpose of tillage, to supply farm products and
sustain the animals used by the institution.
The original Commissioners were Patrick Farrelly,
George S. Mott, David M. Chambers, William A. Ure,
John T. Daly and Thomas M, Gopsill.
According to the plans ariginally adopted, the build-
ing, when completed, was to have four wings, capable
of accommodating 1,024 inmates. The first wing and
centre were completed in the year 1901, and inmates
were then first received.
Offenders only are admitted between the ages of
sixteen and thirty years.
The criminal courts of the State are empowered in
their discretion to commit offenders to the Reforma-
tory instead of State Prison. The original commission
was replaced by the present Board of Commissioners,
consisting of nine persons, including the Governor,
and no more than four to be of the same political
party.
The reformatory and grounds are located about one
and a half miles south of the City of Rahway. The
STATE TUBERCULOUS SANITARIUM. 117
building-s now erected comprise the guard-room build-
ing- and northeast wing, with the southeast wing in
course of construction and nearly completed, the do-
mestic building and "Tie-to" building, connecting it
with the Guard-room building, the industrial building,
the power house, hospital for contagious diseases,
tuberculous pavillion, barn, hennery, piggery, shelter
station and cold storage warehouse.
The "Tie-to" building, the hospital, the pavilion,
barn, hennery, piggery, shelter station and cold stor-
age warehouse were constructed entirely by the in-
mates and without cost to the State, except for mate-
rial.
The construction of a sewage disposal system was
contracted for by the former Board of Managers, but
has never been completed.
Up to the 1st of September, 1908, the total number
committed has been 1,530, of whom 532 have been
released on permanent parole and 439 are at large
pending their final discharge. The total number of
inmates present on the day last mentioned was 527,
and as many as 573 have been In detention at one
time.
The inmates are detailed to different trade classes,
and do all the work required for betterments and
repairs. They enjoy daily educational advantages and
are regularly drilled in military tactics.
.• (
STATE TUBERCULOUS SANITARIUM.
This Sanitarium, which was completed in 1907, is lo-
cated at Glen Gardner, near High Bridi^e, Hunterdon
county. The site is on the slope of a mountain nearly
1,000 feet above the level of the sea, where the State
has acquired about 600 acres. The slope has been cut
away and leveled for a considerable .space, and here
the buildings were constructed. On a clear day the
view from this point is one of the most magnificent in
this picturesque section of North New Jersey. It looks
away over a rolling country of wooded hills and culti-
vated farm lands to the mountains on the other side of
the valley, which run at its foot. Away in the dis-
tance like a thin ribbon of silver is the South Branch
river, and in whatever direction the eye turns some
new and charming scene is encountered. The structure
consists of a service building, administration building
118 STATE TUBERCULOUS SANITARIUM.
and east and west wards. The service building- is the
source of supplies for the institution. It is 84x110 feet,
three stories, including basement, in which Is the
boiler room, engine room and electric light plant. A
cold storage is located in the basement. On the second
floor is the main dining hall, which is 84x48 feet, the
service room, bakery, kitchen, storeroom, butcher shop
and cold storage. The third flood is fitted up with
rooms for the doctors, employees' rooms, ironing, dry-
ing and linen rooms, coat rooms, sterilizing room, &c.
All the buildings are built of field stone, stuccoed on
the outside and finished with white plaster on the In-
terior. The ward building is 32x150 feet and the ad-
ministration building 52x120 feet. The buildings are
so constructed that additions may be made from time
to time as the necessity of the case demands. About
125 patients can be comfortably accommodated In the
ward buildings. There are ten private wards in each
of the ward buildings, which will accommodate three
or four persons each. These are for those who can
afford to pay lor treatment. The water supply Is de-
rived from a large reservoir, which Is kept supplied
from the springs. The system of sewerage Is among
the most sanitary in existence. The total cost of the
Sanitarium represents an outlay of about $300,000.
The first impetus for caring for th3 State's consump-
tive poor was given in an address delivered in 1900 be-
fore the State Medical Society by Dr. Halsey, then
president. A bill was drawn by a committee of the
society, and was passed by the Legislature in 1902,
when a Board of Managers was appointed by Governor
Murphy. Of this Board, Dr. Charles J. Kipp of Newark
was elected president, and for whom the mountain on
which the State Sanitarium was built v/as named. The
Legislature appropriated 150,000 to carry the bill into
effect. The Sanitarium is intended as a model institu-
tion, largely educational in character, which would
give a practical demonstration of up-to-date methods
of treating cases of tuberculosis and point the way for
other institutions of a similar type, at the same time
extending the direct benefits of its system to as large a
number of cases as its necessarily limited facilities
would enable it to care for. The institution expects to
handle about five hundred cases annually. Its purpose
is to arrest the disease in its incipient stage and dis-

charge the patient in such condition that, with the
aid of the instruction he receives while at the institu-
tion, he may be reasonably certain of being able to ef-
fect his own cure. This instruction will prove valuable
not only to himself, but to the public in general, as it
becomes disseminated through his agency and that of
the other patients who undergo treatment and go out
again in the world at large. As a rule, the cases se-
lected will be such as can be treated with reasonable
expectancy of a cure.
BORDENTOWN INDUSTRIAL, SCHOOL..
The Manual Training and Industrial School for Col-
ored Youth located at Bordentown, N. J., is a State
institution supported by appropriations from the State
Treasury.
The objects and purposes of the school are to give
a liberal industrial education to the colored boys and
girls of the State of New Jersey. The work of the
school is divided into four departments, namely, train-
ing in practical agriculture, manual training along the
lines of work in the trades, home economics, including
sewing, cooking and practical instruction in house-
hold management, and academic instruction supple-
mentary to the industrial work.
Competent instructors are provided at the head of
each of these departments. The school is under the
immediate supervision and control of a special com-
mittee of the State Board of Education. It is equipped
with a commodious administration building, one good
dormitory, a fairly good barn and dairy house with
numerous other small buildings.
The school is located upon the banks of the Dela-
ware, and has in connection with it 225 acres of most
excellent farm land. About one hundred students are
now enrolled in the school and a considerable number
are on the waiting list, this being all that can be
accommodated under the present conditions. The
instruction is free and the board is furnished at a
nominal price to the students, making it possible for
the poorest pupils to avail themselves of the advan-
tages of this opportunity for industrial training.

REPUBLICAN.
(Adopted at the State Convention held at Trenton,
Thursday, September 19, 1907.)
The Republican party again presents to the people
of New Jersey an account of its stewardship and offers
its record of faithful execution of pledges as a guar-
antee of future performances.
We indorse the administration of President Roose-
velt as courageous and patriotic, distinguished by
intelligent, earnest and successful efforts to promote
the welfare of all the people. Continued prosperity
has been maintained in every branch of industry, and
the position of the Nation at home and abroad is
stronger and better than at any time in its history.
We also indorse the wise, progressive and successful
administration of Governor E. C. Stokes.
The Republican party came into power after a long
period of misrule, during which the State government
had been administered in a spirit of partisan greed;
actual dishonesty had marked many transactions; the
State's money had been expended without authority
of law, necessitating a diversion of the school fund
to save the party then in power from the odium of a
State tax; political power had been perpetuated by
the creation of partisan officeholders, and by legisla-
tive gerrymanders; by the corruption of the ballot and
by the wholesale pardon of convicted criminals.
To remedy these abuses and rescue the State from
misrule and disgrace, the people called upon the Re-
publican party. Its fourteen years' record is a story
of faithful performance of this duty and of increas-
ingly high standards of good government.
Republican administrations have pursued a consis-
tent policy of advancement and reform.
Republican legislation drove the gamblers" vice from
our State and pledged her constitution to its perpetual
banishment.
It inaugurated a system of publicity in appropria-
tions. It has inaugurated a policy of using the sur-
plus of the treasury for the payment of local school
taxes.
182 PARTY PLATFORMS.
In the fulfillments of its pledges to give a fearless
and thorough consideration to the long-standing prob-
lems of equal taxation as between railroads and other
property, it has passed the laws declared valid by the
courts of the State, which have increased the revenue
of our municipalities and raised the State's income
from less than $1,000,000 to over $3,500,000 per annum.
$2,500,000 of which is by law distributed to the local
taxing districts for school purposes.
The Republican party has inaugurated a policy of
taxation of corporate franchises and by which the
State annually collects a large sum for distribution
to the taxing districts. We favor such systems as will
compel franchises to bear a just share of the burden
of taxation as compared with corporate *and Individual
property.
A Republican Senate has twice passed a civil service
reform act which has been defeated by the present
Democratic House of Assembly. We pledge ourselves
to the enactment of a comprehensive civil service
measure in the interest of higher efficiency in admin-
istrative affairs.
The Legislature has passed resolutions favoring an
amendment to the federal constitution of the election
of United States Senators by popular vote; and until
such amendment has been adopted, we favor the en-
actment of a law for expression in some authoritative
way by the voter of his choice for United States Sen-
ator.
We believe in the separation of State and municipal
elections and to that end favor a constitutional amend-
ment providing that national and State elections shall
be held in even years and municipal elections in odd
years.
We have enacted legislation for the reform of our
petit jury system, and we pledge a continuance of our
efforts for a better system of selecting grand juries.
Our primary law — a Republican enactment — has
done away with violence and fraud at the primaries
and has enabled voters to express their choice and
exercise their will in the nominating conventions. We
pledge ourselves to such amendments of this act as
will simplify and improve our primary system. We
favor the modification and simplification of the present
primary law in the respects in which It is now cum-
bersome and intricate; and we believe that the most
effective method to accomplish this purpose Is a direct

primary for candidates for all municipal and county
offices, including Senators and Assemblymen, and we
favor such an amendment of the primary law as will^
accomplish this end, with proper provisions for judi-
cial review and recount.
The party has already undertaken the question of
supervision of public utility corporations, with a view
of increasing the efficiency, safety and economy of
service in the interests of the public. We pledge our-
selves to enact a law providing for a commission with
ample jurisdiction and powers to enable it to regulate
such corporations effectively and authoritatively.
The Republican party has accomplished needed re-
form in excise legislation and pledges itself to the
maintenance of it. .
The policy of State aid for good roads was inaug-
urated by the Republican party, and this policy has
placed New Jersey first in the nation in its road sys-
tem. The Republican party stands pledged to its con-

tion providing for the creation of Assembly districts,

DEMOCRATIC.
(Adopted at the State Convention held at Trenton
on Tuesday, September 17, 1907.)
The Democratic party of New Jersey, through Its
representatives in convention assembled at Trenton,
this 17th day of September, 1907, makes this declara-
tion of principles:
Virtue in State government depends upon and Is
measured by the integrity of its servants. The repre-
hensible practices of State officials of retaining and
applying public funds to their personal advantage and
to the detriment of the State, ■ persistent and chronic
failure to discharge official duties, commonly called
"absenteeism," occupying dual positions, carrying
double emoluments, but involving no increased labors,
nepotism, the constant multiplication of commissions
to discharge similar public functions, the extrava-
gance and wastefulness of the State House Commission
in the construction of public buildings, the non-
feasance and gross mismanagement of the managers
of State institutions, warrant unqualified condemna-
tion and demand immediate correction, and to this end
we favor and bind ourselves to the enactment of laws
whereby:
Public funds shall be paid to and directly disbursed
by the Treasurer of the State. "One State and one
purse."
Public moneys shall be interest-bearing in all cases.
Public officials shall give daily attention to the dis-
charge of their duties, and shall be permitted to hold
but one office.
Public contracts shall be made and supplies pur-
chased upon competitive bidding after due advertise-
ment.
The numerous commissions now having charge of
the public water supply, sewage and other matters
pertaining to public health shall be abolished, and
their powers and duties vested in a reorganized State
board.
State boards and commissions exercising kindred
functions shall be consolidated.
We reiterate the demands of the Democratic plat-
forms for many years past ^or the equal taxation of
all property not used for religious, charitable or edu-
cational purposes.
i PARTY PLATFORMS'. 185
We declare for the taxation of the tangible property
of railroad and canal companies where located, and
the taxation of their franchises by the State, and we
insist that the legislation on taxation enacted since
the ascendancy of the Republican party in this State
has been the result of Democratic initiative, but has
not measured up to the constitutional requirement of
equal taxation.
We declare for the taxation at local rates of the
value of the franchises of public utility companies in
place of the present inadequate taxation under the
Voorhees law.
We favor the establishment of a commission, with
ample powers for the proper regulation of steam and
trolley railroads, electric light, gas, water, telegraph
and telephone companies and all other public utility
corporations.
We call attention to the constantly increasing cost
of the State government under Republican rule, the
yearly expenses having been increased from $1,857,982
under the last Democratic administration to $4,553,-
685.57 for the present year, and demand that rigid
economy be exercised in future expenditures to the
end that the surplus revenues may be applied to the
lessening of the burden of taxation upon our citizens.
In recognition of the constitutional doctrine that all
political power is inherent in the people, we favor the
enactment of laws, and where necessary constitutional
amendments, providing for:
The selection of United States Senators by popular
suffrage.
The election of Assemblymen by districts.
The nominating of candidates for public office by
direct primary vote, without the intervention of dele-
gates or conventions.
The election by the people of the principal State
and county officials.
In order to secure the true expression of the will
of the voter we favor:
Municipal elections distinct from State and national
elections.
The passage of stringent laws against bribery and
corruption in all elections, primary and general.
The vesting of summary jurisdiction in the courts
to settled disputes growing out of primary elections,
with ample power to order recounts.
186 PARTY PLATFORMS.
The abolition of the voting machines.
We favor the acquisition by our State and sister
States of all toll bridges crossing inter-state bound-
aries, in order that the same may be made free for
inter-state traffic.
We favor the greatest extension of the principle of
home rule In municipal government, securing to each
municipality the absolute control of all matters re-
quiring local administration, without undue interfer-
ence by the Legislature.
We favor the enactment of stringent anti-monopoly
laws.
We favor the establishment of an elective civil serv-
ice commission by an act which will take the employ-
ment of subordinate public officials out of politics.
We ask the support of all citizens favoring these
principles.

case where it shall appear that the appropriation is
insufficient to complete such building-, buildings or
work, the appropriation hereby made therefor shall
not be applied toward the construction of such build-
ing or buildings, or prosecution of such work, but
shall lapse and no payment shall be made therefrom.
4. No money shall be drawn from the treasury ex-
cept for objects as hereinabove specifically appropri-

marines and their wives, Agricultural College fund and
taxes for the use of taxing districts in this State, moneys

(chapter 2SS, laws of 1907), which moneys by the pro-
visions of chapter 41, laws of 1908, are appropriated

In Senate Bill No. 336, entitled "An act making ap-
propriations for the support of the State government
and for several public purposes for the fiscal year end-
ing October 31, 1909," I disapprove the following items
of expenditure therein authorized:
Item No. 43 is disallowed to this extent: "For addi-

THE APPROPRIATION LAW. 281
eluding- the fish and game protector, for compensation,
$7,500," as the bill providing for the increase of salary
to these officers, which made necessary this appropria-
tion, was not approved.
Item No. 77. This entire item is disallowed, for the
reason that this board was abolished at the present ses-
sion of the Legislature, and this appropriation is
therefore unnecessary.
Item No. 95. This item is disapproved to the extent
of $6,000, and is approved for $15,000 only. The reason
for this is that the price to the State for the volumes
furnished is excessive, and until further legislation is
had upon the subject I shall disapprove $6,000 of this
item.
Item No. 107. I disapprove of the item for expenses
incurred in connection with new or additional water
supplies, $3,500, to the extent of $2,500, leaving the
said item approved for $1,000.
I disapprove of the item for engineers, inspectors,
field work, etc., $5,500, to the extent of $3,000, leaving
the said item approved for $2,500.
Item No. 109. This item for salaries and expenses
of a Public Utilities Commission, $60,000, is disap-
proved, for the reason that the bill establishing such
a commission did not pass the Legislature, and this
appropriation is therefore unnecessary.

SCHOOL LAW. 291
SYNOPSIS OF SCHOOL LAW.
The State Board of Education consists of two members
from each Congressional District. It has control of the
State Normal School, the School for the Deaf, the Famum
School, and the Manual Training and Industrial School for
Colored Youth. It appoints the county superintendents
of schools, decides appeals from the decisions of the State
Superintendent, and makes rules for the granting of
teachers' certificates and for carrying into effect the
school laws of the State.
The State Superintendent of Public Instruction is ap-
pointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. He
decides controversies that arise under the school law; may
withhold the State school moneys from any district for
neglect or refusal to comply with the provisions of the
school law. and has general supervision of the public
schools. He is a member of all boards of examiners) for
teachers' certificates.
There is a superintendent of schools for each county,
appointed by the State Board of Education. The County
Superintendent apportions the school moneys among the
districts in his county, has general supervision of the
schools and, in connection with the local Board of Educa-
tion, prescribes the course of study to be pursued in the
district. He is the chairman of the County Board of Ex-
aminers and appoints the other members of the board.
Each municipality in the State constitutes a school dis-
trict, unless by a vote of the people two or more munici-
palities decide to unite and form one district. There are
two classes of school districts, cities forming one class
and all other municipalities the other, but a district in
either class may, by a vote of the people, be transferred
to the other class. The members of the Board of Educa-
tion in a city school district may be appointed by the
Mayor or elected at the regular municipal election as de-
termined by the legal voters, but until so determined the
members shall be selected in the same manner as prior
to the passage of the present law.
In order to be eligible to membership in the Board of
Education, a person must have been a resident of the dis-
trict for at least three years Immediately preceding his
election and must be able to read and write. A city school
district may have a city superintendent, but until one Is
appointed the County Superintendent has supervision of
the schools.
292 SCHOOL LAW.
In each city school district there is a Board of School
Estimate, consisting of the Mayor, two members of the
body having the power to make appropriations for city
purposes, and two members of the Board of Education.
The Board of Education presents its estimate of the
amount of local appropriation needed, and the Board of
School Estimate certifies to the body in the city having
power to make appropriations, the amount to be raised
for school purposes.
In districts other than cities the Boards of Education
consist of nine members each, elected by the people on
the third Tuesday in March. The qualifications for mem-
bership are the same as in city school districts. The spe-
cial district school tax is voted either at the annual meet-
ing or at a special school meeting called by the Board of
Education. Bonds for school houses are authorized by
the legal voters. Women may vote at district meetings
on all questions except the election of members of the
Board of Education, which is prohibited by the Constitu-
tion.
Funds for the support of schools come from the follow-
ing sources: First, from the income of the State School
Fund. The principal of this fund is derived almost en-
tirely from the sale and rental of lands under water be-
longing to the State. The principal cannot be used for
any purpose, and the income can be used only for the
support of public schools. This income amounts to
$200,000 per annum. Second, from State appropriation
made by the Legislature to reduce the State school tax.
Third, from State school tax, an amount which when
added to the State appropriation will make a sum equal
to two and three-fourths mills on each dollar of the tax-
able property in the State. Fourth, interest of surplus
revenue, and, Fifth, local school tax.
The $200,000 from the school fund is apportioned among
the counties by the State Superintendent on the basis of
the total days' attendance of pupils in the public schools.
The State appropriation is apportioned among the counties
by the State Comptroller on the basis of the ratables.
Ninety per cent, of the State school tax paid by each
county is returned to it, and the 10 per cent, received from
all the counties forms the reserve fund, which is appor-
tioned among the counties in the discretion of the State
Board of Education.
The County Superintendent apportions to each dis-
trict $600 for the Superintendent or Supervising Prin-
cipal, if there be one; $400 for each Assistant Super-
intendent, and for each permanent teacher employed
SCHOOL. i^AW. 293
in a hig-h school having a full four-years' course of
study; $300 for each permanent teacher employed in
a hig-h school having- a full threo-years' course of
study; $200 for each permanent teacher employed in
any kindergarten, primary or grammar grade or in a
high school having less than three years' course of
study; $80 for each temporary teacher employed more
than four months; $80 for each eveninsj- school teacher;
$25 for each high school pupil for -whom a tuition fee
is paid to another district; $5 for each pupil below the
high school grade for whom such tuition fee is paid,
and 75 per cent, of the cost of tran.-jportation of pupils
to schools in other districts. The balance of the State
school moneys received by the county is apportioned
on the basis of the total number of days' attendance
of the pupils.
The custodian of municipal funds is the custodian of
school moneys, unless the Board of Education appoints
the collector as custodian. In either case, the compensa-
tion of the custodian must be fixed by the municipal au-
thorities and paid from municipal funds. If there are
two or more municipalities in the district, the Board of
Education may appoint its own custodian and fix his
compensation, which then is paid from school moneys.
Each collector must pay to the county collector the
amount of State school tax due from his taxing district
not later than December twenty-second. If the tax is
not paid by that date the County Superintendent must
withhold the amount of reserve fund apportioned to the
district and divide it the following year among all the
districts in the county. The county collector must pay
the State school tax to the State Treasurer not later than
January twentieth.
If a district provides a course in manual training, and
such course is approved by the State Board of Education,
the State will give to such district each year a sum equal
to that raised in the district for manual training, provided
the amount raised is not less than $250 or more than $5,000.
Every district must provide free text-books and sup-
plies for all pupils and must also provide a flag for eacn
school house, which flag must be displayed every day
the school is in session. The selection of a text-book re-
quires the vote of a majority of the whole number of
members of the Board of Education. A Board of Educa-
tion may employ medical inspectors and triiant officers.
Every school which raises $20 to establish a school
library may receive a like amount from the State. After
294 SCHOOL LAW.
the first payment, the State will grive $10 each year that
the school raises the same amount. Library moneys may
be used for library books, reference books, apparatus, or
educational works of art.
All plans for school houses must be submitted to the
State Board of Education for suggestion and criticism.
Every school house hereafter erected must comply with
the following requirements: First, light must be admitted

A person cannot be legally employed as a teacher unless
he holds a teacher's certificate in full force and effect at
the time he begins teaching. Before beginning to teach
he must show his certificate to the Superintendent of
Schools. A Board of Education may adopt rules govern-
ing the employment of teachers. In the absence of rules,
the contract must be in writing in triplicate, one copy filed
with the Board of Education, one with the County Super-
intendent, and one with the teacher. The employment,
promotion or dismissal of a teacher requires the vote of
a majority of the whole number of members of the Board
of Education.

commercial branches. All applicants for certificates must
file testimonials of good moral character, and in case of
previous experience, of success as teachers.
Graduates of the Normal School receive State certifi-
cates. Graduates of normal schools in other States may
have their diplomas endorsed, provided the course of
study pursued is equivalent to the course in the New
Jersey Normal School, and the State in which they were
issued grants reciprocal privileges to graduates of the
New Jersey Normal School.
All children between the ages of 5 and 20 are entitled to
attend the public schools in the districts in which they
reside. If a kindergarten has been established, children
4 years of age may attend. A Board of Education must
provide suitable school facilities for all the children de-
siring to attend school. The Board of Education may
provide for the education of pupils in the higher grades
by payment of tuition fees to adjoining districts. If a
child lives remote from any school in the district, the
Board may transport such child to school or pay for its
tuition in another district. A Board of Education may
close a school and transport all the children to another
school. "When this is done the district continues to receive
the $200 theretofore apportioned for the teacher employed
in the school which was closed. Children who have never
attended any school can be admitted to a public school

fore a magistrate as a disorderly person. If the parent
is unable to control the child, such child may be pro-
ceeded against as a disorderly person.

GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY.
JOHN FRANKLIN FORT.
Governor Fort was born in Pemberton, Burlington
county, N. J., on March 20, 1852, and is the son of
Andrew H. Fort, who still lives in Mount Holly. His
father was in 1866-67 a member of the House of
Assembly, and his father's brother was Governor
George F. Fort, who held the executive office from
1851 to 1854. Young Fort remained in Pemberton until
he was twenty-one years of age, leading the life of
a farmer's boy and having his share of the country
boy's hardships. His early education was secured in
Miss Nicholson's private school in Pemberton, and after
that he went to Pemberton Academy, where his teacher
was Charles E. Hendrickson, a warm personal friend
and in recent years his associate on the Supreme Court
bench.
Justice Fort's next tutor was William Hutchinson,
afterward well known as "John Sands," under which
name he wrote articles for the New York Sun. He
then went to Mount Holly Institute, conducted by
Charles Aaron, and from there he went to Pennington
Seminary, where he graduated in 1869.
In the fall of 1869 he entered the law office of former
Chief Justice Edward M. Paxton, who was then a well-
known practicing lawyer in Philadelphia, but six
months later he was compelled to return to New Jer-
sey because of Mr. Paxton's appointment to a common
pleas judgeship by Governor Gerry of the Keystone
State. Upon his return he entered the office of Ewan
Merritt in Mount Holly, and in order to help pay his
expenses while studying he taught school at Ewan-
ville. He was also in the office of Colonel Garrit S.
Cannon at Bordentown, from which place he went to
the Albany Law School, where he graduated in 1872
with the degree of LL.B. Among his most intimate
friends and a roommate at the law school was former
BIOGRAPHIES. 299
Chief Judge Alton B. Parker, candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket for President of the United States in 1904.
This friendship still continues.
Returning- from law school without having attained
his majority, he again entered the office of Ewan Mer-
ritt, and in November, 1873, having just passed twenty-
one by a few months, he was admitted to the bar.
"When Mr. Fort returned from law school the Gree-
ley-Grant campaign of 1872 was in progress, and he
entered that campaign for General Grant with vigor.
During the next three months he made twenty-seven
speeches in South Jersey. In the winter of 1873 he
was made Assistant Journal Clerk of the Assembly,
and he also held the same position in 1874, earning
money enough to reimburse his father for every cent
the latter had spent on his education.
Mr. Fort went to Newark at the solicitation of John
W. Taylor, then President of the Senate, who was at
that time the Senator from Essex. Hardly had he set-
tled in Newark before he became interested in politics,
and in 1874 he went on the stump for George A. Hal-
sey, the Republican candidate for Governor. In April,
1876, Mr. Fort married Miss Charlotte Stainsby, daugh-
ter of former State Senator William Stainsby, of New-
ark.
In 1878 Governor McClellan appointed Mr. Fort a
Judge of the District Court in Newark, and he was
reappointed by Governor Ludlow, but resigned the
office in 1886 to engage solely in the practice of the
law.
In 1884 he was elected a delegate at large by the
Republican State Convention to the National Conven-
tion held at Chicago. At that place, with six others,
he acted independently and voted for George F. Ed-
munds, of Vermont, for President, until the latter was
dropped, and then voted with the rest of the New
Jersey delegation for James G. Blaine, whom he loyally
and vigorously supported after the convention. In 1889
he was chairman of the convention which nominated
General E. Burd Grubb for Governor, and toured the
State with him, and was greatly disappointed at his
defeat. He was also chairman of the Griggs conven-
tion in 1895 and was a speaker with the latter in the
"whirlwind" campaign of that year, which resulted in
the election of the first Republican Governor in thirty
years.

In 1896 Mr. Fort was a delegate to the National Con-
vention at St. Louis, at which McKinley and Hobart
were nominated, and speaking for New Jersey, he
placed the name of Garret A. Hobart before the con-
vention. He was also chairman of the committee on
credentials at this convention and presented the ma-
jority report for that committee, which read J. Edward
Addicks, of Delaware, out of the Republican party.
Judge Fort's speeches denouncing Addicks and later
nominating Hobart gave him a national reputation as
an orator.
Governor Griggs appointed Mr. Fort Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas of Essex county in December,
1896, and on May 4, 1900, he was appointed a Justice
of the Supreme Court by Governor Voorhees. The date
of his appointment was the anniversary of the date
of his coming to Newark.
While a member of the Supreme bench Justice Fort
sat in many of the counties of the State and made
friends in all. He has presided over the courts of
Morris, Monmouth, Middlesex, Ocean, Union and Hud-
son counties. While in Monmouth county he directed
the movements which drove the gamblers from Long
Branch in 1902.
Governor Fort has made speeches in different parts
of the country on various subjects by request. In 1899
he made a tour of European prisons under a commis-
sion from the United States and reported on them
upon his return. The idea of probation and indeter-
minate sentences was such a new one, that when
Governor Fort drew the original bill providing for
them for the Senate and House he had trouble in get-
ting any one to father it. A hearing was given on the
bill, and the Governor appeared in its behalf, with the
result that it passed by unanimous vote in each house
with the exception of one man.
Governor Fort removed from Newark to East Orange
in 1889, and has lived at 51 Arlington avenue, north,
in that city since that time. He has three children,
Miss Margretta Fort, Franklin W. Fort, a lawyer in
Newark, and Leslie R. Fort, editor of the Lakewood
Times and Journal. The Governor attends the Pres-
byterian Church and is a trustee of the Munn Avenue
Church at East Orange and the Spring Lake Presby-
terian Church, at which latter place he owns a summer

cottage and spends five months in the year. He was
active in St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church for
many years when in Newark.
He is a man with few recreations; no sports of any
kind. He was devoted to the law and his judicial du-
ties, and he found them a delight.
He is no respecter of persons; rich and poor approach
him with equal ease. He probably knows as many
people as any man in the State.
The Governor has been President of the Sons of
the American Revolution of New Jersey since 1905 and
is a member of the American Bar Association and the
New York and East Orange Republican Club and the
Essex Club.
He was elected Governor of New Jersey for a term
of three years, on November 5th, 1907, by a plurality
of 8,013 over Frank S. Katzenbach, Jr., the Democratic
candidate.

UNITED STATES SENATORS.
JOHN KEAN, Elizabeth.
Senator Kean was born at Ursino, Union county. New
Jersey, In the house where he now resides, on December
4th, 1852. The house is historic, being known as "Liberty
Hall," and was erected by Governor Livingston In 1772.
Washington held many conferences with his Generals
within its walls, and Alexander Hamilton studied law
there. And in the same house John Jay was married to
one of the daughters of the Governor. Another home, at 3
East Fifty-sixth street, New Yorlc city, also belongs to
Mr. Kean, where he spends much of his time during the
winter.
When a young boy the Senator was sent to a boarding-
school in Stockbridge, Mass., and was transferred from
there to a private academy at Sing Sing on the Hudson,
where he received a much higher education than was neces-
sary for him to enter Yale College, which he did in 1876. He
afterward took a course in the Columbia College Law
School, and was admitted to the bar of New Jersey in 1877.
Mr. Kean was elected to Congress in 1882, and again in
1886. In 1892 he was defeated for Governor by his Demo-
cratic opponent, George T. Werts.
The Senator is a prominent business man, and is engaged
in numerous manufacturing, mercantile, railroad and
financial enterprises, which furnish employment to a large
number of mechanics and artisans, especially in the city
of Elizabeth, where he is so well and favorably known.
He has helped materially in promoting the growth of that
city, and to him, more than to any other person, is due its
present prosperity. He fills many positions of honor and
trust in the banking and commercial communities. He is
President of the National State Bank, of Elizabeth, and a
director in the Elizabeth Banking Company. He Is also
President of the Elizabeth Water Company and the Gas
Light Company of the same city. He holds the largest
interest in the Elizabeth Street Railway Company, and his
latest undertaking was the construction of a trolley line
from Elizabeth to Plainfield, for the franchise of which
he paid a large sum of money.
The Senator has always been an active Republican, and
for several years he served as the Treasurer of the State
Committee of his party. He was the unanimous choice of

ary, 1899, and received the full vote of his party when he
Tras elected to that office in a joint meeting- of the Legis-
lature, held soon afterward, his Democratic opponent
being- the then incumbent, James Smith. Senator Kean
was elected for a term of six years in 1899 and was re-
elected in 1905 for a similar term, which will expire in
1911.
FRANK O. BRIGGS, Trenton.
Senator Briggs was born at Concord, New Hamp-
shire, in 1851. Ho is the son of Major James F. Briggs,
who held a commission in the Eleventh New Hamp-
shire Volunteers during the Civil War. The father
served three terms as Congressman and was a promi-
nent candidate for United States Senator before the
New Hampshire Legislature in 1883. There was an
exciting contest for the office which lasted from June
until August. Senator Rollins, although the nominee
of the caucus, was defeated. Other candidates were
General Marston and General Stevens, and Congress-
man Pike, who was finally elected.
The Senator was a student at Phillips Exeter Acad-
emy in 1866, '67 and '68, and on September 1, 1868,
entered the U. S. Military Academy at West Point,
graduating sixth in rank in the class of 1872. He
served in the Second U. S. Infantry as Second Lieuten-
ant until 1877, when he moved to Trenton and became
associated with the well-known firm of John A. Roeb-
ling's Sons Company, wire rope manufacturers, bridge
builders, etc., of which he is assistant treasurer. He
was elected Mayor of Trenton on April 11, 1899, by a
majority of 816 over Joseph A. Corey, Democrat, and
served as such until January 1, 1902. He was ap-
pointed a member of the State Board of Education by
Governor Voorhees in 1901 for a term of three years,
but resigned that office in 1902, upon his election to
the position of State Treasurer.
On January 3, 1902, the Senator was appointed State
Treasurer by Governor Voorhees to fill a vacancy
caused by the death of George B. Swain, of Newark,
which occurred on December 25, 1901. That was an
ad interim appointment. On February 11, 1902, he was
elected by a joint meeting of the Legislature for a full
term of three years, and he was re-elected by the
Legislature of 1905. He served in the office until

March 1, 1907, when he resigned and was succeeded by
Daniel S. Voorhees. Mr. Briggs was elected United
States Senator February 5, 1907, for a full term of six
years.
During a residence of over thirty years in Trenton,
Ms. Briggs has taken a deep interest in all matters
which tended to promote the welfare of the city. As
a public-spirited citizen he enjoys a high degree of
popularity, and in politics he has always been a stead-
fast Republican. In 1904 he was elected chairman of
the State Republican Committee. He displayed great
ability and industry in the management of the suc-
cessful campaign of that year. For several years he
was President of the Inter-State Fair Association. In
1907 he resigned the presidency of that association and
also that of the Republican State Committee. He is
still a member of the latter body, representing Mercer
county, and is chairman of the Executive Committee.
His term as Senator will expire in March, 1913.

son. Whpn he worked there for two months he returned
to school, but after a short period of study he resumed
work in a silk mill. He worked as a weaver for various
silk firms in the city of Paterson until 1893, when he en-
tered Oakley's Business College, at Paterson, where he
studied and made himself proficient in the practice of

admitted to the bar, in June, 1900. During all his young
manhood Mr. Hughes has been intimately connected with

Eastside Workingmen's Association in 1897, and after his

layers and Masons' Union, the Bakers' Union, the Ribbon

Company, in New York, Mr. Ackerman rose tlirough
its various offices to that of president, which position
he still occupies. As a member of the Plainfield Com-

corporations, and vigorously strove to limit the grants
which were being considered at that time.
In 1907 Mr. Ackerman was appointed by the New
Jersey Senate, with Senators Hutchinson and Price,
a committee of three to investigate the subject of
capital punishment, and he was delegated to pursue
the European end of the inquiry. On this mission he
visited Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany and
Spain. An exhaustive report on this subject was pre-
sented by the committee to the Senate of 1908.
The Civil Service Law is considered by some as
being the most important act of the Legislature of
1908. Mr. Ackerman introduced the bill on the first
day of the session. After continuous struggling
throughout the winter and early spring, it was finally
passed on the night of the last day of the session,
and in a form to meet the approval of those advocat-
ing this reform, which has been so successful for
many j'ears in other States and in the United States
Government.
Last year he served as chairman of the Senate Com-
mittees on Finance, Corporations and Riparian Rights,
and for two sessions as a member of the Committee
on Appropriations.

unsurpassed by few of his age, returns to the Senate
of New Jersey for the fourth term, having been
chosen again, by the largest majority ever accorded
him by the voters of Warren county. The holding
of public office by Senator Cornish is not of his own
seeking, but in response to a popular demand. When
a very young man he was elected Mayor of Washing-
ton, and at the close of his first term was re-elected
without opposition, and afterwards re-elected for an-
other term, thus acting as Mayor for three consecu-
tive terms. Following his final term as Mayor, in
1890, he was elected to the Senate for the first time,
and at the expiration of his Senatorial term was
elected to Congress from the Fourth District of New
Jersey. After having served his constituents in Con-
gress he took up the active management of the ex-
tensive piano and organ business of the Cornish
Company, of which he was elected secretary and gen-
eral manager. In 1899 he was again nominated and

JOSEPH H. SCHARFF.
(Rep., Hasbrouck Heights.)
Mr. Scharff was born in Newark in 1866. His mother,
Frances A. Scharff, was a daughter of E. P. Seward,
a member of the well-known Seward family. His
father. Christian H. Scharff, came with his parents
when a child to this country, from Amsterdam, Hol-
land, in the early forties. His parents located in New-
ark, and he graduated from Princeton, and became a
prominent member of the Newark bar before he died,
at the early age of thirty-five years, leaving a widow
with six children, four boys and two girls, Joseph
Henry being the youngest of the boys.
Mr. J. H. Scharff, after finishing the public school
course in Exeter, N. H., went for one year to Phillips
Exeter Academy, and in 1833 was forced to leave and
begin his business career at seventeen years of age.
334 BIOGRAPHIES.
Being- of a mechanical turn of mind, and as the elec-
trical field at that time seemed most promising, he
sought a position with the United States Electric
Lighting- Company, in Newark, N. J„ with the inten-
tion of learning the business thoroughly, and worked
energetically through several departments. He was
diverted from this into channels of experimental work,
and the original intention was thus destroyed. The
next two years were passed drifting from one occu-
pation to another without definite aim. During this
period of varied experiences he served as a clerk in
New York, as a farm hand in Orange county, and as
a traveling salesman for the Backus Water Motor
Compnay, of Newark. In 1885, when but nineteen
years of age, he was given an opportunity to go to
Southern California in a mining enterprise, having in
charge the "teaming outfit." At the end of two years,
after many hard and bitter experiences, the ore vein
ran out, and the mine closed down. Mr. ScharfC at
that time held the position of superintendent. He re-
turned to the East and procured a position with the
State agency in the Mutual Benefit Life Company, of
Newark, at Albany. Not liking the business, he went
back as salesman for the Backus Water Motor Com-
pany. Later Mr. Scharff left the Backus Motor Com-
pany and organized a company of his own, under the
name of "The Scharff Manufacturing Company," the
purpose of which was the manufacturing of and in-
stalling continuous process drying apparatus in manu-
facturing plants. This company continued success-
fully until the business depression in 1892. In 1893
overtures were made to Mr. Scharff to go with the
Fidelity and Casualty Company, which he did, in the
capacity of special agent, operating in the territory of
Paterson, Passaic and vicinity. Mr. Scharff's efforts
on behalf of this company \^ere successful from the
start, and he was shortly made resident manager of

prominent jurist in both State and nation. He served two

graduated at Rutgers College in 1859; studied law in the
office of the late Governor Joseph D. Bedle; was admitted
to practice as an attorney in June, 1862, and as a counselor

practice. In the exciting general election of 1884, Mr. Vre-
denburgh was nominated by the Republicans of Monmouth
county for State Senator, and was only defeated by the re-
tirement of the regular Democratic candidate a few days
before the election and the fusion of the Democrats and

sider the question of railroad taxation, whose report be-

WINTON C. GARRISON, Newark.
Mr. Garrison is a native Jerseyman, having been born
April 3, 1850, in that section of Newark known as the "Old
Ninth Ward."
He was among the first pupils that attended the Chest-
nut Street School. After finishing his studies in that in-
stitution he took the High School course, at the conclusion
of which he entered the employ of a woolen house in New
York. This was in 1866, and four years later he embarked
in business tor himself. Mr. Garrison carried on business
successfully for thirty-one years, when, having amassed

a moderate competence, he retired from active participa-
tion In trade matters.
Mr. Garrison early manifested that Interest In public
affairs which has made him one of the best-known m.en
in Newark, where he resides, but not until 1895, when he
entered the City Council as the representative of the
Eighth ward, did he hold a public office of any kind. He
remained four years, or from 1895 to 1899, In the City Coim-
cil, and during his last year of service was the recognized
leader of his party in that body. He left the Council with
the reputation of being one of the most painstaking and
efficient members that had ever taken part in its delibera-
tions.
The next position of responsibility and trust held by Mr.
Garrison was membership In the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners of Newark, to which office he was
elected in 1900 for a term of three years. As a Commis-
sioner Mr. Garrison is fairly entitled to a large share of
the credit due the Board for many improvements, some
already realized and others"assured, in the lines of public
service that came under its authority, chief among them
being the elevation of the tracks of the Pennsylvania, Cen-
tral, and D. L. & W. railroads; the settlement of the water
supply contract, and the burying underground of electric
light and trolley wires. While a Street and Water Com-
missioner Mr. Garrison was offered and urged to accept
a position on the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission,
but declined on the broad ground that the people had
elected him to serve three years in the Street and Water
Board and that a relinquishment of his office before com-
pleting that term would be a breach of the contract which
he regarded as morally existing between himself and
them. He therefore served out his full term as a Street
and Water Commissioner, during the last year of which
he enjoyed the distinction of being President of the Board.
On April 4, 1903. or immediately after the end of his
service in the capacity last referred to, Mr. Garrison as-
sumed the office of Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, hav-
ing been appointed to that position by Governor Murphy
to succeed William Stainsby. The office is one of re-
sponsibility and importance because of the relations which
exist between it and the great industrial interests of the
state. The term is five years and the salary $2,500 per
annum. He was reappointed by Governor Fort in
1908. His term will expire in 1913.

piling, etc., in the city of Camden as well as being largely
interested in lumber operations in other parts of the

identified with the politics of Camden city and county that
the history of one would almost seem to be the history of
the other. In 1874 he was elected a member of the Board
of Chosen Freeholders, and was re-elected for and served
four consecutive terms, during which period he was a
member of some of the most important committees. In
the fall of 1887 he was nominated and elected Sheriff of
Caniden county, at a time when, through existing condi-
tions, nothing but the personal popularity of David Baird
secured to the county a Republican Sheriff. And again
he was elected to the same office in 189fi, by the largest
majority ever given any candidate for any office in the
county. He was a delegate from New Jersey to the Re-
publican National Convention of 1892, held at Minneapolis.
He was chosen a Presidential Elector in 1900, when he cast
his vote for McKinley and Roosevelt. For a number of
years he has represented Camden county on the Republi-
can State Committee and as a member of the Executive
Committee of that body.
He was appointed a member of the State Board of As-
sessors by Governor Werts in 1895, for a term of four years,

S. Irick and was born on March 13, 1833, near Vincentown,
N. J., being the oldest of eight children. At an early age
he was sent to a primary school, with an attendant to
care for him, and at the age of twelve years he entered
an academical school at Norristown, Pa., under the care
of Rev. Samuel Aaron, a co-laborer of Burleigh, Giddings,
Lucretia Mott, Wendell Philips and other anti-slavery
champions. During his five years under Mr. Aaron he
imbibed the political doctrines which made it So easy for
him to join the ranks of Republicanism, carrying with
him. however, the old Whig protection ideas of his ances-
tors, which became a part of the fundamental principles
of the great political party to which he has ever borne
true allegiance.
At the early age of seventeen years he undertook the
overseeing of large farming and timber interests. In 1863
he was elected to the House of Assembly from Burlington

distress and feels that he has been amply paid for his
charities. He is still hale and hearty and is engaged In

WILLIS FLETCHER JOHNSON, President,
New Providence.
Dr. Johnson is a son of the late William Johnson
and Alathea Coles Johnson, and was born in the city
of New York on October 7th, 1857. A few weeks later
the family removed to a large estate at New Provi-
dence, which was then in Essex county, but subse-
quently became a part of Union county, N. J., and
there the family has ever since been setMed. Dr. John-
son was at first educated at home by his father, who
was a man of high attainments, but later attended
the Ladd School at Summit, near his home, and also
Pennington Seminary, at Pennington, N. J., where he
spent two years and was graduated with high honors.
He was next matriculated at New York University and
remained there for some time, but owing to impaired
health left before the completion of his course. In
1876 he was the Centennial Fourth of July orator at
a great union celebration held by a number of towns
in Burlington and Ocean counties, and for a time
thereafter was principal of a public school at Tucker-
ton, N. J. He married Miss Sue Rockhill, of that
village, a relative of the Hon. William Woodville
Rockhill, now Minister to China, and returned with
her to his New Providence home. At the same time
he began work as a lecturer, and also as a journalist,
his first writing being done for the Toms River Cour-
ier. In 1879 he was for a time city editor of the New
York Daily Witness, and early in 1880 he became a
member of the editorial staff of the New York Tribune,
a connection which he has ever since retained un-
broken, being now the senior member of the staff.
During the administration of President Arthur he
became deeply interested in civil service reform, and
has since been an earnest student and advocate of the
merit system, and a frequent writer and speaker
upon it. He has also concerned himself with civic
affairs, and was one of the founders and first presi-
dent of the Republican Club of New Providence town-
ship, and has frequently been a speaker in political
campaigns. He has written and published a number
of books, chiefly biographical and historical. In 1903
BIOGRAPHIES. 425
he published "A Century of Expansion," which has
been recognized as the standard treatise on the terri-
torial g-rowth of the United States and its constitu-
tional, diplomatic and political results. In 1904 Dr.
Johnson accompanied Secretary Taft on a visit to
Panama, and later published a large volume, entitled
"Four Centuries of the Panama Canal," which has
been republished in other countries, and is accepted
throughout the world as the authoritative history of
the isthmian canal enterprise. For many years he has
been actively interested in educational affairs. He
was one of the organizers and president of the Board
of Trustees of the Priscilla Braislin School for Girls, at
Bordentown; has for a number of years been president
of the Board of Trustees of Pennington Seminary, and
is a member of the council of New York University,
For thirty years he has been a popular lecturer, de-
livering many occasional lectures and orations, as well
as educational addresses at Pennington Seminary, the
Lawrenceville School, the Priscilla Braislin School, the
Bordentown Military Institute, and the public schools
of Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne and other
places in this State. He has also been in demand as a lec-
turer in New York, Washington and other cities, and at
New York University, Weslej-an University, Dickinson
College, Amherst College and elsewhere. New York
University has given him, in recognition of his literary
attainments, the degree of master of letters, and
Dickinson College added thereto the degrees of mas-
ter of arts and doctor of humane letters. Dr. Johnson
has always been an earnest organization Republican,
and has frequently been invited to be a candidate for
elective or appointive office, but invariably declined
until the Spring of 1908, when, on May 8, he was ap-
pointed by Governor Fort to be for four years a Civil
Service Commissioner. Because of his long-standing
interest in the merit system he accepted this appoint-
ment, and upon the organization of the commission,
on May 19th, 1908, he was elected its president. His
salary is $2,000 a year as commissioner and $500 ad-
ditional as president, and his term as commissioner
will expire in 1912. His home, Firleigh Hall, which
he has occupied since infancy, is on Springfield ave-
nue, in the township of New Providence.
