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 
Mey,  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  1630  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  dissensions  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) 


8  HISTORY    OF    NEW    JERSEY. 

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,  1664,  Charles  II.,  with  royal 
disregard  for  previous  patents,  grants  and  charters,  deeded 
to  his  brother  James,  Duke  of  York,  a  vast  tract  embrac- 
ing much  of  New  England,  New  York  and  all  of  what  is 
now  New  Jersey.  This  was  accompanied  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  'n 
New  York  harbor.  After  negotiations,  the  Dutch  sur- 
rendered and  the  power  of  Holland  in  North  America  be- 
came simply  a  mattei  of  history.  In  the  meantime  James^ 
Duke  of  York,  transferred  to  two  favorites  of  the  House 
of  Stuart— John,  Lord  Berkeley,  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  liberal  frame  of 
government  and  extolling  the  advantages  of  their  colony 
so  well  located  for  agriculture,  commerce.  Ashing  and 
mining,  attracted  settlers  not  only  from  England,  but 
from  Scotland  and  New  England,  particularly  Long  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  Jersey,  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  Jersej', 
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  wa  s  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.  Whaling  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  son  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  s'hades  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. 

iWhile  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  1801  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 
the  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  the 
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  HISTORY   OF   NEW   JERSEY. 

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  oflaces  opened 
and  newspapers  printed.  In  1S44.  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  1860  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. 

New  Jersey  has  made  great  advances  since  the  Civil  War. 
Among  the  important  legislation  was  the  passage  of  the 
General  Railroad  law  in  1873.  This  ended  the  domination 
of  the  Camden  and  Amboy  monopoly  and  opened  the  way 
for  other  enterprises  in  the  same  field. 

Although  the  State  passed  an  Emancipation  act  in  1804, 
the  Constitution  was  not  amended  as  to  legalize  negro 
suffrage  until  1875.  The  Legislature  of  1871  ratified  the 
fifteenth  amendment  to  the  U.  S.  Constitution  which  gives 
absolute  authority  to  the  negro  to  cast  his  vote  at  all 
national,  State,  county  and  municipal  elections. 

Women  exercised  the  right  of  suffrage  in  New  Jersey 
under  laws  passed  in  1790  and  1797.  That  right  was  taken 
from  them  by  an  act  passed  in  1807.  In  1912  the  Supreme 
Court  held  that  the  1776  Constitution  did  not  confer  any 
right  on  women  to  vote.  The  Constitution  of  1844  limited 
the  right  to  vote  to  males.  In  1887  women  were  given  the 
right  to  vote  at  school  meetings.  This  was  declared  un- 
constitutional in  1894  as  to  voting  for  school  trustees  and 
officers  ;    they  could  vote,  however,  on  other  school  matters. 

A  proposed  amendment  to  the  State  Constitution  in  1897 
giving  women  the  right  to  vote  for  school  officers  was 
defeated.  The  vote  was  65.021  for,  to  75,170  against.  In 
1915  another  proposed  amendment  conferring  full  suffrage 
on  women  was  defeated.  The  vote  was  133,282  for  and 
184,390  against.  In  1883  laws  ^  were  enacted  regulating  the 
labor  of  women  and  children  in  factories. 

In  1838,  the  last  whipping  post  disappeared  from  New 
Jersey.  It  stood  on  a  vacant  lot  in  Trenton,  where  many 
offenders  had  suffered  the  degrading  punishment.  Franklin 
S.    Mills,    a    veteran    reporter    of   that    time,    called    several 


HISTORY  OF   NEW   JERSEY.  15 

kindred  spirits  around  him  and  ttiey  decided  that  the 
whipping  post  must  go.  There  was  unanimous  agreement 
that  the  best  time  for  its  vanishment  would  be  a  dark  night, 
and  meanwhile  the  plot  was  kept  a  profound  secret.  The 
plan  was  carried  out  and  the  post  was  never  set  up  again. 
The  next  step  to  lessen  the  horror  of  capital  punishment 
was  in  1907.  when  the  penalty  was  changed  from  hanging 
to  eloctrocution.  In  the  same  year  tuberculosis  was  pro- 
nounced infectious  and  a  sanitorium  for  the  treatment  of 
such   patients  was  established. 

Gambling  at  race  tracks  and  all  other  places  was  pro- 
hibited by  law  in  1894  and  in  1897  a  constitutional  amend- 
ment was  adopted  to  the  same  effect. 

In  1907  the  first  primary  law  went  Into  operation.  In 
1911,  the  direct  primary  was  extended  to  the  offices  of 
governor  and  representatives  in  Congress.  In  1915  it  was 
extended  to  the  office  of  United  States  Senator.  In  1911, 
a  blanket  form  of  ballot  was  adopted.  In  1907  the  Board 
of  Railroad  Commissioners  for  the  State  of  New  Jersey 
was  created,  and  in  1910,  the  name  was  changed  to  the 
Board  of  Public  Utility  Commissioners.  In  1911,  the  Em- 
ployers'  Liability  act  was  passed. 

The  admirable  system  of  public  education  in  New  Jersey 
deserves  more  than  passing  notice.  The  first '  steps  were 
taken  during  the  colonial  period,  and  soon  after  the  Revo- 
lution a  number  of  private  schools  and  academies  were  es- 
tablished. In  1816,  the  Legislature  ordered  that  the  sum 
of  $15,000  should  be  invested  in  a  Permanent  Educational 
Fund.  During  the  following  two  years,  this  sum  was  in- 
creased to  .$113,236.78.  In  1824,  a  tenth  of  the  State  tax 
was  added  to  the  school  fund.  Improvement  was  continually 
made  in  the  educational  lacilities.  the  annual  appropriation 
being  increased  in  1838  to  $30,000.  The  new  Constitution 
adopted  in  1844,  prohibited  the  diversion  of  any  part  of  the 
school  fund  under  any  pretext.  Two  years  later  every  town- 
ship was  required  to  raise  the  same  amount  contributed 
by  the  State,  and  in  1851  the  State  appropriation  was  in- 
creased to  $40,000. 

Since  no  one  is  considered  qualified  to  follow  a  profession 
without  special  training,  it  followed  that  that  of  the  teacher 
should  receive  the  same  preparation.  In  1855,  the  first 
State  Normal  School  was  opened  in  Trenton  and  proved 
highly  successful.  It  has  been  followed  by  others  with  the 
most  beneficial  results  to  the  cause  of  education  throughout 
the  State. 

In  1867,  the  whole  school  system  was  remodeled  and 
placed  on  a  sound  basis.  Provision  was  made  for  the  con- 
tinual maintenance  of  the  Normal  School  and  the  Model, 
or  training  school,  attached  to  it;  for  the  examination  and 
licensing  of  teachers  ;  for  increasing  the  State  Educational 
Fund ;     defining   the   duties   of   district   and    township    trus-

tees,  the  city  boards  of  education,  the  county  superintend- 
ents, the  State  superintendent  and  the  State  Board  of  Edu- 
cation. 

In  1881,  an  act  was  passed  by  the  Legislature  to  encourage 
the  establishment  of  schools  for  industrial  education.  In 
1888,  manual  training  was  provided  for  and  several  such 
institutions  have  been  established.  The  Compulsory  Edu- 
cation law  went  into  effect  in  1884.  Parents  and  guardians 
are  compelled  to  send  children  between  the  ages  of  seven 
and  fourteen  years  to  school  each  day  the  schools  are  in 
session,  or  provide  for  their  instruction  at  home  or  else- 
where. The  State  College  for  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic 
Arts  is  connected  with  Rutgers  College  at  New  Brunswick. 
Candidates  for  this  course  are  examined  annually  at  the 
county  seat  of  each  county.  The  number  of  pupils  is  limited 
to  sixty  and  tuition  is  free.  Other  State  institutions  are 
referred  to  elsewhere. 

One  of  the  most  beneficent  enterprises  with  which  New 
Jersey  is  specially  identified  is  the  life-saving  service.  The 
United  States  has  more  than  ten  thousand  miles  of  sea 
and  lake  coast.  Thousands  of  lives  and  untold  millions  of 
dollars  of  property  have  been  swept  down  to  death  and 
destruction  by  the  fearful  storms  which  at  times  rage  over 
these  waters.  Of  all  the  vast  extent  of  coast,  there  is  none 
more  dangerous  than  that  of  New  Jersey.  The  causes  of 
this  is  the  peculiar  formation  of  the  Long  Island  and  Now 
Jersey  shores,  and  the  fact  that  a  bar  runs  parallel  with 
the  beach  at  a  distance  therefrom  of  from  two  hundrel 
yards  to  a  mile.  The  water  on  this  bar  is  shallow,  and 
many  a  ship,  when  driven  towai'd  shore  goes  to  pieces  long 
before  it  can  be  reached  by  the  anxious  watchers  on  the 
beach. 

One  of  the  residents  of  Monmouth  county  who  was  deeply 
impressed  by  the  frightful  loss  of  life  was  Dr.  William  A. 
Newell,  a  member  of  Congress  from  1848  to  1851,  and 
governor  of  New  Jersey  from  1857  to  1860.  It  is  worth 
mentioning  in  this  place  that  Dr.  Newell  was  in  Congress 
when  John  Quincy  Adams  was  stricken  with  apoplexy  and 
caught  him  in  his  arms  as  he  was  falling.  Dr.  Newell, 
during  the  first  part  of  his  term,  secured  an  appropriation 
of  $10,000  for  the  protection  of  life  and  property  from 
shipwreck  on  the  coast  between  Sandy  Hook  and  Little  Egg 
Harbor.  Some  months  later,  the  ship  Ayrshire  was  driven 
on  Squan  Beach.  The  life  car  was  employed  to  bring  the 
202  passengers  and  crew  ashore  and  only  one  man  -who  re- 
fused to  enter  the  car  was  drowned.  Instances  without 
number  occurred,  when  with  the  help  of  the  life-saving 
crew,  not  a  single  life  was  lost,  when  without  such  aid  all 
would  have  perished. 

At  the  close  of  1914.  the  life-saving  establishments  in 
the  United   States  included   285  stations,   203   being  on   the 


HISTORY  OF  NEW  JERSEY.  17 

Atlantic  and  Gulf  coasts,  62  on  the  lakes,  19  on  the  Pacific 
coast,  1  at  Nome,  Alaska,  and  1  at  the  falls  of  the  Ohio, 
Louisville,  Ky. 

Since  the  establishment  of  the  life-saving  service  down  to 
June  30th,  1914,  the  number  of  disasters  was  28,121 ; 
value  of  property  involved,  $355,401,084  ;  value  of  property 
saved,  $288,871,237 ;  value  of  property  lost,  $66.529,847 ; 
persons  involved,  178,741 ;  persons  lost,  1,455  ;  shipwrecked 
persons  succored  at  stations,  28,711  ;  days'  succor  afforded, 
59,659. 

In  addition  to  the  522  disasters  in  1914,  there  were  1,415 
casualties  to  lesser  craft,  such  as  launches,  sailboats,  row- 
boats,  &c.,  on  which  were  3,757  persons  of  whom  all  were 
saved  excepting   12. 

As  in  every  State  and  in  the  National  government,  the 
government  consists  of  the  legislative,  executive  and  ju- 
diciary.    The  last  named  embraces  the  courts. 

Justice's  Cotirt. — This  is  the  lowest  court  with  common 
law  and  criminal  jurisdiction.  Suits  involving  no  more  than 
$200  may  be  tried  in  it,  and  appeal  can  be  had  to  the 
Court  of  Quarter  Sessions. 

Police  Court. — This  is  composed  of  a  police  justice,  or  a 
justice  of  the  peace  appointed  by  him.  His  criminal  juris- 
diction in  the  city  for  which  he  is  appointed  is  the  same 
as  that  of  a  justice  of  the  peace.  He  tries  cases  of  vio- 
lation of  city  ordinances  and  appeal  is  to  the  Court  of

In  addition  to  the  courts  specified,  there. is  one  for  the 
trial  of  juvenile  offenders,  which  is  for  the  beneficent  pur- 
pose of  reforming  rather  than  punishing  youthful  criminals, 
and  the  Coroner's  Court,  whose  duty  is  to  inquire  into 
the  causes  of  all  deaths  in  prison  and  of  those  elsewhere 
which  have  a  suspicious  appearance.  No  appeal  can  be 
taken  from  the  verdict  of  a  coroner's  jury. 

It  is  a  singular  coincidence  that  the  three  presidential 
cabinet  members  from  New  Jersey  down  to  1877,  were  each 
Secretary  of  the  Navy.  They  were,  Samuel  L.  Southard, 
1823-29  ;  Mahlon  Dickerson,  1834-38,  and  George  M.  Robe- 
son, 1869-77.  The  cabinet  officers  from  this  State,  since 
the  last-named  date,  were,  F.  T.  Frelinghuysen,  Secretary 
of  State,  1881-85  ;    .lohn  W.  Griggs.  Attorney-General,  1898- 

1901,  and  Lindley  M.  Garrison,  Secretary  of  War,  191.3 . 

Having  done  so  well  with  the  cabinet.  New  Jersey  gave  the 
nation  her  governor  (Woodrow  Wilson),  in  1913,  when  on 
March  4th  he  began  his  four-year  term  as  President  of  the 
United  States. 

The  population  of  New  Jersey  in  1790  was  184.139  and 
in  1915.  2.844.342.

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  among  these  are  life,  lib- 
erty and  the  pursuit  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  v/orld: 

He  has  refused  his  assent  to  laws  the  most  wholesome 
and  necessary  for  the  public  good. 


24  DECLARATION  OF   INDEPENDENCE. 

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; 


DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE.  25 

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 
oases  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  ua,  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- 


26 


DECLARATION  OF  INDEPENDENCE. 


Itably  interrupt  our  connections  and  corr-espondence.  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,

nal, and  proceed  to  reconsider  it.  If,  after  such  reconsid- 
eration, two-thirds  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,

shall  be  determined  by  yeas  and  nays,  and  the  names  of 
the  persons  voting  for  and  against  the  bill  shall  be  en-

elected  by  the  people,  such  election  shall  be  held  at  the 
time  when  and  at  the  places  where  the  people  shall  re- 
spectively vote  for  members  of  the  legislature.

United  States  cr  of  this  State. 

5.  The  governor  shall,  at  stated  times,  receive  for  his

vene the  legislature,  or  the  senate  alone,  whenever  in  his 
opinion  public  necessity  requires  it;  he  shall  communicate 
by  message  to  the  legislature  at  the  opening  of  each  ses-

7.  Every  bill  which  shall  have  passed  both  houses  shall 
be  presented  to  the  governor;  if  he  approve  he  shall  sign 
it,  but  if  not,  he  shall  return  it,  with  his  objections,  to  the 
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, 
and  if  approved  of  by  a  majority  of  the  whole  number  of 
that  house,  it  shall  become  a  law;  but  in  neither  house 
shall  the  vote  be  taken  on  the  same  day  on  which  the  bill 
shall  be  returned  to  it;  and  in  all  such  cases,  the  votes  of 
both  houses  shall  be  determined  by  yeas  and  nays,  and 
the  names  of  the  persons  voting  for  and  against  the  bill 
shall  be  entered  on  the  journal  of  each  house  respectively.

if  he  had  signed  it,  unless  the  legislature  by  their  adjourn- 


STATE   CONSTITUTION.  63 

ment  prevent  its  return,  in  which  case  it  shall  not  be  a 
law.  If  any  bill  presented  to  the  governor  contain  sev- 
eral items  of  appropriations  of  money,  he  may  object  to 
one  or  more  of  such  items  while  approving-  of  the  other 
portions  of  the  bill.  In  such  case  he  shall  append  to  the 
bill,  at  the  time  of  signing  it,  a  statement  of  the  items  to 
which  he  objects,  and  the  appropriation  so  objected  to 
shall  not  take  effect.  If  the  legislature  be  in  session  he 
shall  transmit  to  the  house  in  which  the  bill  originated, 
a  copy  of  such  statement,  and  the  items  objected  to  shall 
be  separately  reconsidered.  If,  on  reconsideration,  one 
or  more  of  such  items  be  approved  by  a  majority  of  the 
members  elected  to  each  house,  the  same  shall  be  a  part 
of  the  law,  notwithstanding  the  objections  of  the  governor. 
A.11  the  provisions  of  this  section  in  relation  to  bills  not 
approved  by  the  governor  shall  apply  to  cases  in  which

administering  the  government  shall  accept  any  office  un- 
der the  United  States  or  this  State,  his  office  of  governor 
shall  thereupon  be  vacant.  Nor  shall  he  be  elected  by  the

or  of  the  United  States,  during  the  term  for  which  he  shall 
nave  been  elected  governor.

for  appointment  to  such  office  during  the  continuance  of 
such  recess. 

^13.  In  case  of  the  impeachment  of  the  governor,  his  ab- 
sence from  the  State  or  inability  to  discharge  the  duties 
of  his  office,  the  powers,  duties  and  emoluments  of  the

STATE   CONSTITUTION.  73 

State  of  New  Jersey: 

I,  George  Wurts,  Secretary  of  State  of  the  State  of  New 
Jersey,  do  hereby  certify  the  foregoing  to  be  a  true  copy 
of  the  Constitution  of  the  State  of  New  Jersey  as  amended, 
as  the  same  is  taken  from  and  compared  with  the  original 
Constitution  and  amendments  thereto,  now  remaining  on 
file  in  my  office. 

In  testimony  whereof,  I  have  hereunto  set  my 
[Li.  S.]    hand  and  affixed  my  official  seal,  this  twenty-sixth 
day  of  October,  A.  D.  eighteen  hundred  and  ninety- 
seven.  GEORGE  WURTS.

STATE   INSTITUTIONS. 


THE  STATE  CAPITOL,. 

This  edifice,  a  massive  structure,  erected  at  sundry 
times  and  added  to  at  various  periods,  is  located  on 
West  State  street,  near  Willow  street.  The  grounds 
have  a  frontage  of  425  feet  on  State  street  and  extend 
southerly  a  distance  of  about  700  feet  to  the  Dela- 
ware river.  The  original  plot,  up  to  the  year  1910, 
had  a  frontage  of  310  feet,  extended  back  in  a  parallel- 
ogram and  embraced  about  3^   acres. 

The  seat  of  Government  was  fixed  at  Trenton  by  an 
act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  November  25th,  1790. 
James  Cooper,  Thomas  Lowery,  James  Ewing,  Maskell 
Ewing,  George  Anderson,  James  Mott  and  Moore  Fur- 
man  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  Legis- 
lature. They  purchased  a  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  Dela- 
ware 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.  i/^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 
appointing  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  inform- 
ing the  members  of  both  houses,  as  well  as  the  courts, 
of  the  hour  of  meeting.  The  bell  was  eventually  dis- 
carded, and  an  American  flag  substituted,  which  waves 
from  the  building  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  style  of  the 
front  by  placing  neat  porticoes  over  the  front  and 
rear   entrances,   and  erecting  two   additional   buildings 


THE   STATE   CAPlTOL.  75 

adjoining  the  main  one,  as  offices  for  the  Clerks  of 
the  Chancery  and  Supreme  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 
commissioners  under  whose  direction  the  work  was 
completed,  were  Samuel  R.  Gummere,  Samuel  R.  Hamil- 
ton and  Stacy  A.  Paxson.  In  1863,  '64  and  '65,  appro- 
priations were  expended  in  building  additions  for 
the  State  Library,  Executive  Chambers,  &c.  In  1871, 
Charles  S.  Olden,  Thomas  J.  Stryker  and  Lewis  Perrine 
were  appointed  commissioners  to  cause  a  suitable  ad- 
dition 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  occupancy  in  time  for  the  meeting  of 
the  Legislature  in  1872.  In  1872,  $120,000  was  appro- 
priated 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  1873,  the  sum  of  $43,000  was  appropriated  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 
$15,000  was  appropriated  for  the  purpose  of  putting  a 
new  three-story  front  to  the  building,  and  to  fit  up 
offices  on  the  second  fioor  for  the  Clerks  of  the  Court 
of  Chancery  and  Supreme  Court,  and  for  providing  a 
suitable  museum  for  geological  specimens,  and  the 
battle-flags  of  New  Jersey  volunteer  regiments,  carried 
during  the  war  of  the  Rebellion. 

On  March  21st,  1885,  the  front  portion  was  destroyed 
by  fire,  and  the  Legislature  appropriated  $50,000-  for 
rebuilding,  and  in  1886,  an  additional  appropriation  of 
$225,000  was  granted. 

The  new  building  was  finished  in  1889.  It  is  of  rec- 
tangular shape  and  of  the  Renaissance  style  of  archi- 
tecture, with  a  frontage  of  one  hundred  and  sixty  feet 
on  State  street,  a  depth  of  sixty-seven  feet,  and  three 
and  a  half  stories  high,  with  a  rotunda  thirty-nine 
feet  across,  which  connects  the  new  section  of  the 
Capitol  with  the  original  part.  The  rotunda  is  sur- 
mounted by  a  dome  one  hundred  and  forty-five  feet 
high. 


76  THE   STATE  CAPITOL. 

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  In- 
diana, known  as  Salem  Oolitic,  with  foundations  and 
trimmings  of  New  Jersey  free  stone,  from  the  Pralls- 
ville  quarries,  in  Hunterdon  county.  The  portico,  door- 
head  and  trimmings  about  the  door  are  of  the  same 
material.  The  portico,  with  balcony,  is  supported  by 
massive  pillars  of  polished  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.  This  front  portion,  including  the 
dome,  was  designed  and  constructed  under  the  plans 
and  supervision  of  L.  H.  Broome,  architect,  of  Jersey 
City. 

The  old  State  Library  apartments  have  been  im- 
proved and  extended,  and  are  now  used  as  offices  for 
the  Attorney-General,  State  Superintendent  of  Public 
Instruction  and  Commissioner  of  Banking  and  Insur- 
ance. 

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   STATE   CAPITOL.  77 

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  mterior  is  flnisb 
ed  In  Trenton  tile,  quartered  oak  and  Italian  statuary 
marble.  It  is  a  fire-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 
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  ofl[ices,  and  cost  $34,500. 

.  Two  Otis  elevators  have  been  placed  in  the  building, 
which  gives  easy  access  to  all  the  upper  fioors. 

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  coat  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. 

In  1911  the  Legislature  made  an  appropriation  of 
$60,000  for  the  extension  of  the  west  wing  of  the  front 
part  of  the  building,  and  in  1912  $70,000  was  appro- 
priated for  the  extension  of  the  east  wing. 

In  1910  and  subsequent  years  to  1915,  tlie  State  pur- 
chased Delaware  street,  the  Green  property  which 
fronted  on  West  State  street,  properties  which  fro*nted 
on  Front  and  Willow  streets  and  which  extended  to 
the  old  Water  Power,  now  Sanhican  creek,  all  of 
which  embrace  about  the  same  area  as  the  old  State 
House  site,  ZV2  acres,  making  a  total  of  about  7  acres 
north    of   the   creek. 


78  THE   STATE   LIBRARY. 

The  land  across  Sanhican  creek,  that  has  been  ac- 
quired by  the  State,  has  been  filled  in  to  the  river  wall, 
is  computed  to  be  about  19  or  20  acres,  making  the 
sum  total  of  the  State's  holdings  about  26  acres.  The 
river  park  has  been  laid  out  and  completed  by  the 
St£(te  and  the  city  of  Trenton,  the  area  of  which  is 
about  40  acres.  The  old  Revolutionary  Barracks  and 
the  old  Masonic  Temple  have  been  preserved  on  the 
park  grounds.  The  State  park  contains  about  19 
acres,  is  an  up-to-date  enterprise  and  presents  a  most 
beautiful  and  attractive  appearance.  The  cost  of  all 
the  improvements  was  about  $400,000. 

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 
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  appomtment  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  Librarj- 
for  the  care  and  reception  of  the  books  and  papers  be-

longing  to  the  State  Library.  Thus  the  two  Libraries 
were  consolidated.  On  March  13th,  1872,  $5,000  per 
year  for  three  years  was  appropriated  for  the  Library 
by  the  Legislature,  and  by  the  act  of  March  15th,  1876, 
the  sum  of  $2,500  was  appropriated  for  finishing  and 
refurnishing  the  Librarj-  room.  In  1S90,  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  thaji 
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  practicallj'  finished  In  1905. 

THE    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. 

Erected  by  Legislative  Authority. 

Richard  Howell,  Governor. 

In  the  XXII.  Year  of  American 

Independence,   MDCCXCVII. 

That  Those  Who  Are  Feared  For  Their 

Crimes  May  Learn  to  Fear  the  Laws 

And   be   Useful. 

Hlc  Labor,  Hoc  Opus. 

In  the  messages  of  Governors  P.  D.   Vroom  and  S.  L. 

Southard,  recommending  the  erection  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 
gan,  French,  of  the  date  of  1758;  two  bronze  guns,  Eng-

Ilsh,  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  left  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  efCorts  of  Dr. 
Lyndon  A.  Smith,  of  Essex,  and  Dr.  Lewis  Condict, 
of  Morris,  and  the  eminent  philanthropise.  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 
the  large  spring  of  excellent  water  found  on  the  place. 
This  spring  was  developed,  and  furnished  a  dally 
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. 


STATE   HOSPITALS.  81 

Work  was  commenced  on  the  main  building  in  No- 
vember of  1845,  and  the  hospital  was  opened  for  the 
reception  of  patients  on  tne  15th  day  of  May,  1848. 
Numerous  additions  have  been  made  from  time  to 
time  to  the  building-,  increasing  its  capacity. 

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 
that  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. 

Much  has  been  done  for  the  comfort  and  pleasure 
of  the  patients.  A  greenhouse  has  been  erected  for 
the  purpose  of  furnishing  plants  and  fiowers  for  the 
patients'  corridors,  handsome  pictures  adorn  the 
walls,  and  everything  about  the  hospital  presents  a 
comfortable    and    homelike    appearance. 

The  institution  possesses  a  library,  one  of  the  larg- 
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  every  Sunday,  when  various 
clergymen,  without  regard  to  denominational  prefer- 
ence, officiate.  The  new  chapel  is  capable  of  seating 
about   five   hundred   patients.      In    1904-1905   an   appro- 


82  STATE   HOSPITALS. 

priation  of  $250,000  was  made  for  the  erection  of  two 
additional  wings  to  the  annex  building,  which  will 
accommodate  400  more  patients.  In  1905  the  Legisla- 
ture appropriated  $12,500  for  the  construction  of  Are 
escapes. 

A  few  years  ago  a  modern  laboratory  building  was 
erected,  and  at  the  present  time  is  fully  equipped  for 
scientific  work. 

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  toilet  rooms,  water  sections,  etc. 

Two  buildings  for  tuberculosis  patients,  male  and 
female,  have  been  erected,  and  will  accommodate 
twenty-five,  each  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  where  no  one  can  get  at  them. 

During  the  year  1909  the  plumbing  and  tiling  of  the 
old  building  was  completed,  and  the  sanitary  arrange- 
ments for  the  hospital  have  been  considered  by  those 
competent  to  judge,  to  be  the  best  of  any  public  insti- 
tution of  this  character. 

In  both  the  male  and  female  departments  a  hydro- 
therapeutic  apparatus  has  been  Installed  for  giving  the 
continuous  bath  treatment.  This  apparatus  was  made 
especially  for  the  hospital,  and  has  given  satisfactory 
service  in  the  treatment  of  acutely  excited  cases. 

The  Legislature  of  1911  appropriated  $103,000  for  ex- 
traordinary improvements.  Two  farms  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  Trenton  Junction  have  been  purchased, 
which  will  add  250  acres  of  farm  land  to  the  hospital. 
A  new  laundry  has  been  erected  and  equipped  with 
modern  machinery,  at  a  cost  of   $30,000. 

The  Legislature  appropriated  $2,800  for  research 
work,  which  enables  the  hospital  to  employ  two 
trained  field  workers  who  go  out  in  the  community 
and  look  up  facts  regarding  the  patients'  heredity 
and  personal  history,  which  gives  valuable  informa- 
tion to  the  medical  history.  They  also  engage  in 
"after  care"  work',  i.  e.,  in  visiting  discharged  patients

at  certain  intervals,  investigating  their  condition,  and 
reporting  to  the  hospital  any  unusual  conditions  which 
have  any  bearing  on  the  recurrence  of  mental  disease. 
During  the  years  1910  and  1911  $5,000  has  been  spent 
for  furniture  for  the  wards.  The  Legislature  of  1912 
appropriated  $165,000  for  new  buildings,  including 
one  for  the  criminal  insane. 

STATE  HOSPITAIi. 

Morris  Plains   (P.  O.  Greystone  Park). 

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 
begun. 

Additional  tracts  of  land  have  since  been  purchased 
at  a  cost  of  $32,318.00,  making  a  total  of  897  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- 
ing, $18,200;  the  nurses'  cottage,  $20,000,  and  In  1907 
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 
offices,  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, 


84  STATE   HOSPITALS. 

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 
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  this  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. 

In  order  to  give  the  hospital  a  better  mail  service, 
the  United  States  government,  on  March  23,  1908,  es- 
tablished 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. 

The  Legislature  of  1911  appropriated  $15,000  for  the 
erection  of  a  new  fire  house.  This  ffre  house  provides 
stabling-  quarters  for  two  horses  and  sleeping  room  for 
twenty  male  employes  who  are  always  to  be  members 
of  the  ffre  department. 

The  same  Legislature  appropriated  $40,000  for  the 
erection  of  a  male  nurses'  home.  This  building  accom- 
modates seventy-six  men  nurses. 

A  cold  storage  plant  has  been  added  to  the  Institu- 
tion which  produces  ffve  tons  of  ice  per  day  and  also 
provides  a  room  for  the  storage  of  hospital  food  sup- 
plies. 

The  Legislature  of  1911  made  an  appropriation  of 
$15,000  for  a  dynamo  and  building,  and  there  was  also 
appropriated  $10,000  for  a  building-  for  the  seg-regation 
of  tubercular  patients.     The  same  Legislature  also  ap- 


STATE   HOSPITALS.  85 

proprlated  $8,000  for  screening  the  windows  of  the 
main  building  and  dormitory  building. 

The  Legislature  of  1912  appropriated  $69,000  for 
new  buildings  and  alterations. 

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  in- 
sane. A  graded  three-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  surgery,  practical 
bedside  nursing  and  bandaging.  The  course  is  com- 
pulsory upon  all  who  are  employed  as  attendants,  and 
since  the  establishment  of  the  school,  226  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  hydrotherapeutic  apparatus  and  by  the 
Installation  of  electrotherapeutic  appliances,  and  a 
powerful  static  machine  in  a  room  in  the  main  build- 
ing, 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 
conditions  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  hos- 
pital 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  en- 
ters 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 
thoroughly  cross-indexed,  which  permits  of  needful  In- 
formation being  rapidly  and  easily  obtained  In  any 
given  case. 

Additional  protection  from  fire  has  been  provided 
by  equipping  the  hospital  with  the  Kirker-Bender  type 
of  fire  escape. 


86  NORMAL  AND   MODEL  SCHOOLS. 

Fire  drills  are  held  at  regular  intervals  so  that  the 
patients  may  become  familiar  with  the  location  of  the 
fire  escapes  and  accustom  themselves  to  their  use  so 
as  to  enable  them  in  the  event  of  fire  to  go  through 
this  means  out  of  danger  in  an  orderly  and  expeditious 
manner. 

The  hospital  has  equipped  Dental  Rooms  with  the 
latest  and  most  modern  appliances,  thus  enabling  the 
Resident  Dentist  to  do  scientific  work  for  the  patients 
needing  dental  attention. 

The  Legislature  of  1912  appropriated  $15,000  for  a 
storehouse  in  which  air  supplies  are  kept,  and  $8,000 
was  also  appropriated  for  the  construction  of  an  in- 
dustrial building  which  is  equipped  with  apparatus 
and  supplies  of  the  manufacture  of  a  great  variety 
of  hospital   utilities. 

The  normal  capacity  of  the  institution  is  1,600 
patients.  In  1914  there  were  2,500  patients  under  care 
and  treatment,  being  900  over  the  normal  capacity 
and  increasing  annually  by  about  100.  Owing  to  this 
condition  the  percentage  of  recoveries  must  of  ne- 
cessity be  small  and  the  proper  classification  of  the 
different  psychoses  is  impossible. 

STATE    NOR3IAIi    AND    MODEL     SCHOOLS 

at  Trenton. 

These  schools  are  located  at  the  junction  of  Perry 
street  and  Clinton  avenue.  There  are  two  buildings, 
the  school  building  on  the  west  side  of  Clinton  avenue, 
and  the  boarding  halls  and  dormitories,  situated  on  the 
east  side  of  the  avenue.  These  schools  were  estab- 
lished in  1855  by  an  act  of  the  Legislature.  The 
purpose  of  the  Normal  School  was  defined  to  be  "the 
training  and  education  of  its  pupils  in  such  branches 
of  knowledge,  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  discipline  inculcated  in  the 
Normal  School. 

The  Normal  School  offers  to  graduates  of  approved 
four  year  high  schools  the  following  courses:  a  two 
year  general  course;  a  two  year  kindergarten  course; 
a  two  year  domestic  science  course;  a  two  year  com- 
mercial course;  a  two  year  manual  training  course; 
a  four  year  high  school  teachers'  course,  equivalent  to 
a  teachers'  college  course;  an  industrial  arts  teachers' 
course  given  in  conjunction  with  the  Trenton  School 
of  Industrial  Arts.  Special  courses  are  offered  in  voice 
training,  piano  and  violin,  and  electives  in  advanced, 
work  in  a  number  of  other  branches.

NORMAL  AND  MODEL  SCHOOLS.        87 

The  Model  School  begins  with  the  kindergarten  and 
includes  a  full  secondary  or  high  school  curriculum. 
It  offers  three  courses:  The  classical,  Latin  scientific 
and  English. 

The  buildings  are  equipped  with  laboratories,  gym- 
nasium, and  the  modern  appliances  necessary  to  good 
work.

The  enrollments  in  1855  were  as  follows:  Normal 
School,  43;  Model  School,  125.  For  the  year  ending 
June  30'th,  1915,  these  enrollments  had  increased  to  639 
in  the  Normal  and  460  in  the  Model.  During  its  history 
the  Normal  School  has  graduated   5,870  students. 

The  Principals  of  the  schools  have  been  as  follows:

THE    NEW   JERSEY    STATE    NORMAL    SCHOOL 

at   Mpntclair,    Essex   County. 

The  increasing  demand  for  professionally  trained 
teachers,  and  the  inability  of  the  State  Normal  School, 
at  Trenton,  to  meet  it,  led  to  the  passage  of  a  resolu- 
tion by  the  Legislature  of  1902  directing  the  State 
Board  of  Education  to  investigate  as  to  the  need  of  in- 
creased 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 


MONTCT.AIR  NORMAL  SCHOOL.  89 

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,  at 
Trenton,    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  to 
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  the 
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  briok 
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 


90  MOKTCLAIR  NORMAL  SCHOOL. 

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  reet, 
with  high  ceiling  and  north  light,  three  lecture  rooms, 
large  laboratories  for  chemistry,  physics,  botany  and 
zoology,  and  dark  rooms  for  photography.  Teachers' 
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 
Port,  President  Hays,  of  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
Edward  Russ,  chairman  of  the  Building  Committee, 
and  others. 

The  regular  sessions  of  the  school  began  September 
15,  1908,  with  an  attendance  of  187  pupils. 

A  class  of  45  teachers  was  graduated  in  June,  1910, 
and  145  teachers  were  graduated  in  June,  1911.  The 
membership  of  the  school  for  the  year  ending  June  30, 
1911,  was  443.  The  demand  for  graduates  of  the 
school  far  exceeds  the  supply,  and  all  graduates  are 
now  employed  in   teaching. 

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. 


NEWARK  NORMAL  SCHOOL.  91 

THE    NEW   JERSEY   STATE   NORMAL    SCHOOL. 

at    Newark. 

The  new  State  School  building  is  centrally  located 
between  Broad  street  and  Belleville  avenue,  at  the 
intersection  of  Fourth  avenue,  and  occupies,  including 
its  spacious  grounds,  an  entire  city  block.  The  archi- 
tecture of  the  building  is  dignified  as  well  as  pictur- 
esque and  is  enhanced  by  the  sunken  garden,  masses 
of  bloom  and  hedges.  The  interior  has  been  greatly 
admired  for  the  beauty  of  its  color  scheme,  its  fine 
appointments  and  educational  features.  The  building 
is  equipped  with  an  auditorium,  gymnasium,  labora- 
tories, manual  training  shops,  sewing  rooms,  art 
rooms  and  spacious,  well-ventilated  class  rooms  for 
normal  work.  Special  features  are  the  demonstration 
rooms  with  raised  seats,  lecture  rooms,  conference 
rooms,  a  fine  library,  study  halls  and  a  splendidly 
equipped  kitchen  and  dining  room.  The  building  also 
has  a  modern  system  of  heating,  lighting  and  ventil- 
ating and  excellent  sanitary  conditions. 

This  new  building  opened  its  doors  under  State  con- 
trol September  16th,  1913,  with  an  enrollment  of  450 
students  and  a  waiting  list.  It  may  be  of  interest  to 
note  that  the  school  is  so  centrally  located  that  only 
two  students  requested  boarding  places  in  the  city  of 
Newark.  The  trolley  and  railroad  facilities  are  such 
that  they  can  readily  come  and  return  to  their  homes. 
A  dozen  prominent  high  schools  are  within  forty 
minutes  of  the  school. 

A  large  practice  school  is  connected  with  the  Nor- 
mal where  students  are  trained  under  actual  school 
conditions  and  the  aim  is  to  graduate  an  efficient 
corps  of  teachers  for  the  public  schools  of   the  State. 

The  Principal  of  the  new  State  School  is  W.  Spader 
Willis,  who  for  fourteen  years  was  Principal  of  the 
City  Normal  School  at  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 


92  STATS   HOME   FOR  GIRLS. 

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,  conservatory,  up-to-date  cow  barn, 
piggery,  all  of  brick,  many  of  the  buildings  con- 
structed 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 
many  receive  instruction  In  shorthand  and  typewrit- 
ing and  In  the  different  mechanical  branches  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.  In 
1910,  in  this  building,  a  complete  outfit  of  machinery 
consisting  of  a  planer,  mortiser,  universal  and  band 
saw,  and  others  necessary  to  make  it  complete  was 
supplied.  While  in  the  past,  so  far  as  the  accommoda- 
tions would  permit,  a  number  of  boys  have  received 
instruction  in  mechanical  trades,  and  with  the  accom- 
modations 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   citizens. 

During  1910  the  cow  and  dairy  barn  have  been  re- 
modeled and  rebuilt,  and  the  Legislature  of  1910  appro- 
priated $40,000  with  which  to  erect  a  central  school 
building.  The  Legislature  of  1912  appropriated 
$40,000  for  the  erection  of  a  double  cottage.

THE   STATE   PRISON.  93 

the  City  of  Trenton,  near  the  Trenton  State  Hospital,  and 
is  located  on  a  farm  of  about  79  acres  of  land.  A  sub- 
stantial 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  $186,622.  The  value 
of  the  land  is  $16,700.  Previous  to  the  erection  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  1900  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  $36,000  for  the  erection  of  a  new 
cottage  and  about  $9,000  for  various  other  improve- 
ments. On  February  11th,  1910,  a  new  administration 
building,  named  the  "Fort  Cottage,"  was  formally 
opened.  It  is  the  counterpart  of  Washington's  head- 
quarters at  Morristown,  N.  J.,  and  had  served  as  New 
Jersey  headquarters  at  the  Jamestown,  Virginia,  Ex- 
position. It  is  most  elaborately  furnished  with  every- 
thing suggestive  of  the  colonial  period.  A  new  cot- 
tage costing  $25,000  was  erected  in  1911  and  1912  to 
house  twenty-five  little  girls.  The  Legislature  of 
1912  appropriated  $16,700  for  the  erection  of  an  in- 
firmary and  barn. 

The  institution  is  for  girls  between  the  ages  of  ten 
and  nineteen  years  who  may  be  committed  to  it  by 
the  courts. 

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,  la  one  of  the  flneat  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  1836,  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 


94  THE   STATE  PRISON. 

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  past  winsr,  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 
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

prls^on.  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  tJer  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  arrangf^mont  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  reg'ardlng  the 
electrocution  of  persons  condemned  to  death. 

THE     NEW    JERSEY     HOME     FOR     DI.SABLED 
SOLDIERS. 

This  institution  is  located  in  Kearny,  Hudson  county. 
It  originated  in  the  mind  of  Governor  Marcus  L.  Ward 
jus^  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. 
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,    «S: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  applica- 
tion, or  have  served  in  a  New  Jersey  organization, 
and  must  be  unable  to  earn  a  living  for  himself  by  man- 
ual labor.  Since  1888  various  additions  have  been 
made.

Vlneland. 
This  Home  was  organized  In  1898,  the  sum  of  $5,000  ha- 
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  Vlneland, 
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- 
erns,  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 
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.  In 
1912  the  Legislature  appropriated  $30,000  for  a  new 
hospital. 


SCHOOL  FOR  THE  DEAF.  97 

SCHOOL  FOR  the:  desaf. 

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  caji 
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   170. 

The  school  possesses  a  well  chosen  library,  which  at 
present  contains  about  4,000  volumes,  and  is  rapidly 
growing.

This  Institution  was  established  by  virtue  of  the  act  of 
March  27th,  1888,  the  late  S.  Clin  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.,  and  then  by  Dr.  Madeleine  A  Hallo- 
well.  Upon  organization  of  the  first  board  of  mana- 
gers, the  late  Hon.  Alexander  G.  C'atell,  of  Camden 
county,  was  chosen  President,  a  place  he  acceptably 
filled  until  his  death.     He  was  succeeded  by  the  Hon. 


98     SCHOOL  FOR  FEEBLE-MINDED  CHILDREN. 

Benjamin  F.  Lee,  of  Mercer  county,  Clerk  of  the  Su- 
preme feourt,  who  occupied  the  position  until  his 
death  In  1909.  Mrs.  Emily  E.  H.  Williamson,  of 
Union  county,  was  secretary  of  the  board  from  its 
organization  until  her  death  in  1909.  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  incumbent. 
Harry  H.  Pond  was  elected  President  In   1909. 

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  modem  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. 

In  1912  the  Legislature  appropriated  $60,000  for  a 
new  dormitory,  &c. 

TRAINING  SCHOOL.  FOR  FBGHLB-MINDED 
CHILDREN. 

Vineland. 
This  public  Institution  is  an  outgrowth  of  a  private  one, 
which  Prof.  S.  Clin  Garrison  established  In  Millvllle,  Cum- 
berland county,  on  September  1st,  1887.  It  was  opened  at 
Vineland,  on  March  1st,  1888,  with  an  enrollment  of  ten 
pupils.  Adjacent  properties  were  soon  acquired  and  a 
handsome  building,  costing  about  $18,000,  was  erected  In 
1890-91.  There  are  fourteen  cottages,  besides  a  hospital, 
large  barns,  shops  and  manual  training  rooms,  located 
on  a  farm  of  260  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. 


STATE  VILLAGE  FOR  EPILEPTICS.  99 

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. 

STATE   VILLAGE   FOR   EPILEPTICS. 

(Henry   M.   Weeks   Hospital.) 
Skillman,  Somerset  County. 

This  village  is  located  In  Montgomery  township,  Somer- 
set county,  at  Skillman  Station,  on  the  line  of  the 
Philadelphia  and  Reading  Railroad.  The  location  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 
four  adjoining  farms  containing  in  all  about  seven 
hundred  and  eighty  acres. 

The  four  farm  houses  are  now  being  used,  one  for 
the  Administration  building,  one  for  residence  of  the 
Superintendent,  one  for  patients  and  one  for  employes. 

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- 
tion for  the  proper  care  of  the  epileptics.  The  late  Prof. 
S.  Olln  Garrison,  Principal  of  the  New  Jersey  Training 
School  for  Feeble-Mlnded  Children,  at  Vineland,  early  re- 
cognized the  necessity  of  separate  provision  for  the  epi- 
leptics In  that  Institution,  and  was  Indefatigable  in  his 
elTorts  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 


100  NEW  JERSEY  REFORMATORY. 

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  each  year  from  1901  to  1911, 
aggregating-  $900,000,  for  extensions  and  improve- 
ments. All  epileptics  of  either  sex,  over  five  years  of 
age,  and  not  insane  or  idiotic  are  admitted. 

In  1912  the  Legislature  appropriated  $78,000  for  new 
buildings. 

NEW  JERSEY  REFORMATORY. 

Rahway. 
In  1895  the  Legislature  passed  an  act,  approved  by 
Governor  Werts  on  March  28  of  that  year,  providing 
for  the  appointment  of  a  commission  to  consist  of 
six  persons,  who  were  charged  with  the  duty  of  build- 
ing an  intermediate  reformatory  Institution  for  first 
male  offenders.  The  commission  was  authorized  to 
set  apart  the  property  known  as  the  Edgar  farm, 
located  in  Union  and  Middlesex  Counties,  and  then 
belonging   to  the  State   Sinking  Fund. 


NEW   JERSEY  REFORMATORY.  101 

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  used. 

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  115  acres.  That 
which  is  not  occupied  by  the  buildings  or  enclosed 
within  a  stockade  surrounding  the  same,  furnlshe* 
occupation  to  the  inmates,  and  is  devoted  to  the  pur- 
pose 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  originally  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. 

First  male  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 
buildings  now  erected  comprise  the  guard-room  build- 
ing, northeast  and  southeast  wings,  the  domestic 
building  and. "Tie-to"  building,  connecting  It  with  the 
guard-room  building,  the  industrial  building,  new 
tuberculous  pavilion,  independent  water  system  with 
filtering  plant,  two  trades'  school  buildings  and  wall, 
power  house,  hospital  for  contagious  diseases,  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. 


102  STATE   TUBERCULOUS   SANITARIUM. 

The  construction  of  a  sewage  disposal  system  con- 
tracted for  by  the  former  Board  of  Managers,  has 
been  completed  recently  by  inmate  labor. 

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. 

Glen  Gardner. 
This  Sanitarium,  which  was  completed  In  1907,  Is  lo- 
cated at  Glen  Gardner,  near  High  Bridge.  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 
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,  whleh  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  bre  made  from  time 
to  time  as  the  necessity  of  the  case  demands.  About 
175  patients  can  be  comfortably  accommodated  in  the 
ward  buildings.  The  water  supply  is  derived  from  a 
large  reservoir  which  Is  kept  supplied  from  the  springs, 


BORDENTOWN  INDUSTRIAL  SCHOOL.  103 

The  system  of  sewerage  is  among  the  most  sanitary 
in  existence.  The  total  cost  of  the  Sanitarium  repre- 
sents an   outlay  of  about  1300,000. 

The  first  impetus  for  caring  for  tli3  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  was  named.  The 
Legislature  appropriated  $50,000  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  handles 
about  six  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.  In  1912  the  Legislature  appro- 
priated $89,500  for  new  buildings. 

BORDENTOWTW^     INDUSTRIAL     SCHOOL.. 

The  Manual  Training  and  Industrial  School  for  Col- 
ored Youth  located  at  Bordentown,  N.  J.,  is  a  State 
Institution  maintained  by  appropriations  from  the 
State  and  under  the  supervision  of  the  State  Board  of 
Education, 

The  school  was  established  to  meet  the  educational 
needs  of  the  colored  people  of  New  Jersey  and  seeks 
more  and  more  to  fit  its  students  to  go  out  and  do 
Intelligently  the  work  to  which  they  are  called. 


104  STATE   REFORMATORY  FOR  WOMEN. 

The  Literary  Department  as  far  as  is  practicable  Is 
adjusted  to  the  needs  of  the  Industrial  Training,  and 
an  effort  is  made  to  throw  around  the  student  a  home 
atmosphere. 

The  school  occupies  a  conspicuous  site  on  the  banks 
of  the  Delaware  River,  comprising-  225  acres  of  good 
farm  land.  The  physical  equipment  of  the  school 
consists  of  an  administration  building,  a  girls'  dormi- 
tory, a  boys'  dormitory  and  infirmary,  a  laundry  and 
carpenter  shop,  a  printing  office  and  a  group  of  farm 
buildings. 

Approximately  one  hundred  students  are  enrolled, 
this  number  exhausting  the  facilities  for  accommoda- 
tion. 

Tuition  is  free  and  a  nominal  charge  is  made  for 
board,  washing,  medical  attendance  and  registration. 

In  1912  the  Legislature  appropriated  $20,000i  for  a 
new  dormitory. 

STATE    REFORMATORY   FOR   WOMEN 

at  Clinton. 

The  Reformatory  is  located  on  a  farm  of  346  acres, 
one  and  one-half  miles  from  Clinton.  It  was  dedicated 
on   May   26th,    1913. 

There  are  five  buildings  in  use  at  this  institution,  as 
follows:  1,  Fielder  Cottage,  old  farmhouse,  enlarged  to 
accommodate  25  to  30  women;  2,  Homestead  Cottage, 
accommodates  10  to  12  women;  3,  Stowe  Cottage  for 
colored,  accommodates  27  to  30  women;  4,  Cottage  for 
help,  accommodates  utility  man  and  family;  5,  Cliapel 
of  Good  Shepherd,  used  as  chapel  and  school.  Nos.  1 
and  2  are  old  farm  buildings;  No.  2  used  to  be  used 
by  the  utility  man  and  family.  The  third  old  farm 
house  is  so  in  bad  repair  that  it  cannot  be  used  either 
for  inmates  or  officers.  It  is  used  to  store  farm  equip- 
ment in  during  the  winter. 

Officers:  Fielder  Cottage — 2,  teacher,  nurse;  Home- 
stead Cottage — 3,  superintendent,  farm  manager,  parole 
officer  and  psychologist;  Cottage  for  Help — 2,  utility 
man,  farm  laborer;  Stowe  Cottage — 4,  colored  matron, 
colored  teacher,  dietitian,  bookkeeper.  The  last  two 
officers  simply  live  in  Stowe  Cottage;  they  do  no  work 
there. 

Superintendent,  Miss  May  Caughey.

DEMOCRATIC. 


(Adopted  at  the  State  Convention  held  at  Trenton,  October 
5th,  1915,  and  presided  over  by  Governor  James  F.  Fielder.) 

We,  the  members  of  the  Democratic  State  Convention,  held 
October  5th,  1915,  composed  of  delegates  chosen  by  Demo- 
cratic voters  at  open  primaries  as  provided  by  law,  hereby 
adopt  the  following  preamble  and  platform  and  pledge  to  it 
the  support  of  our  candidates  for  Senate  and  General  As- 
sembly : 

1.  We  renew  our  allegiance  to  the  National  Democratic 
Administration  which,  under  the  leadership  of  Woodrow  Wil- 
son, has  been  true  to  those  great  principles  which  are  the 
bulwark  of  the  Democratic  party.  The  great  responsibilities 
thrust  upon  the  party  have  been  accepted  and  met  with  a 
full  realization  that  public  office  is  a  public  trust.  Avenues 
of  fair  trade  have  been  opened,  credit  has  been  made  liquid, 
and  special  privilege  has  been  dethroned.  That  the  party 
leadership  has  been  wise,  Avas  demonstrated  by  the  re-election 
of  a  Democratic  House  of  Representatives  at  the  last  general 
election.  The  president's  foreign  policy  has  elicited  the 
admiration  of  the  entire  world.  With  infinite  patience  and 
even-handed  justice,  the  neutrality  of  this  country  has  been 
maintained  and  we  have  been  kept  free  from  international 
entanglements.  In  the  midst  of  the  greatest  world  dis- 
turbance known  to  history,  the  administration,  while  strictly 
maintaining  the  rights  of  our  citizens,  has  kept  our  country, 
alone  among  the  great  nations  of  the  earth  in  the  paths  of 
peace  and  prosperity.  We  pledge  our  united  support  in  1916 
to  the  work  of  obtaining  the  renomination  and  re-election 
of  our  president,  Woodrow  Wilson. 

2.  We  condemn  the  Republican  Legislature  of  last  winter 
for  its  failure  to  keep  its  pledges  to  the  people  of  the  State 
of  New  Jersey.  We  indict  the  Republican  party  because 
while  controlling  both  branches  of  the  last  Legislature  it 
failed  to  provide  for  amendments  to  the  constitution  for  the 
election  of  members  of  the  Assembly  by  districts  and  for 
home  rule  for  our  municipalities  :  because  it  failed  to  enact 
any  measure  in  the  interest  of  tax  reform;  for  its  action 
in  weakening  the  Geran  Election  law  ;  (for  its  bungling  the 
Special  Election  law,  which  necessitated  the  calling  of  a 
special  session  ;  for  its  attempt  to  pass  a  bill  for  the  aban- 
donment of  the  Morris  canal,  which  would  have  given  to 
the  Lehigh  Valley  Railroad  valuable  property  for  a  grossly 
inadequate  sum  and  would  have  committed  the  State  to  ex- 
travagant  expenditures,    on    boulevards   and   parkways    at    a

time  when  the  State  should  be  endeavoring  to  economize 
because  it  permitted  a  renewal  of  the  activities  of  the  old- 
time  lobby,  which  flourished  in  the  days  when  that  party 
held  undisputed  sway  in  the  State  House  and  made  it  pos- 
sible for  the  railroad  and  public  service  representatives  to 
be  in  regular  attendance  at  every  session,  displaying  their 
interest  in  the  Godfrey  Canal  bill,  the  repeal  of  the  Full 
Crew  bill,  the  defeat  of  the  Home  Rule  measure  and  other 
bills  affecting  the  interests  of  their  corporations  ;  for  their 
failure  to  provide  any  additional  state  revenue ;  for  the 
insuflacient  appropriations  provided  for  next  year  with  which 
to  provide  for  the  conduct  of  State  institutions,  for  the  new 
departments  created  under  the  Economy  and  Efficiency  laws, 
for  the  National  Guard  and  for  the  State  Board  of  Children's 
Guardians  ;  because  of  its  failure  to  enact  laws  looking  to 
the  reduction  of  the  high  cost  of  living  and  to  cut  down 
exorbitant  salaries ;  for  its  failure  to  pass  a  proper  agri- 
cultural bill  or  to  provide  additional  Norman  School  fa- 
cilities. 

3.  We  point  out  that  the  Democratic  party  was  in  the 
minority  in  both  branches  of  the  last  Legislature.  Its  rep- 
resentatives introduced  bills  to  carry  out  its  platform  prom- 
ises (which  bills  were  defeated  by  the  Republican  majority 
for  partisan  ends),  and  they  voted  for  every  measure  for 
the  public  good  and  aided  in  the  defeat  of  all  vicious  legis- 
lation. 

4.  We  especially  commend  the  administration  of  Governor 
James  F.  Fielder.  His  fidelity  to  his  oath  of  office  and  bis 
conscientious  devotion  to  the  intprests  of  the  people  of  New 
Jersey,  have  met  with  general  approval  and  are  deserving 
of  hisrhest  praise.  Under  his  wise  and  non-partisan  ad- 
ministration, laws  have  beeq  enacted  increasing  the  revenue 
of  the  State  by  a  fairly  graduated  tax  upon  the  estates  of 
deceased  persons  ;  local  revenues  have  been  enhanced  by  a 
reasonable  bank  stock  tax  :  modern  methods  in  the  care  and 
employment  of  inmates  of  our  penal  and  charitaole  insti- 
tutions have  been  established;  prompt  and  effective  meas- 
ures were  taken  to  stamp  out  the  hoof  and  mouth  disease 
in  cattle  ;  a  simplifierl  method  for  the  conduct  of  proceedings 
in  the  Chancery  Court  has  been  adopted  :  the  use  of  nar- 
cotics prevented  and  the  pure  food  laws  strengthened  :  cities 
were  empowered  to  conduct  public  markets :  a  system  of 
traffic  recrulations.  uniform  throughout  the  State,  was  de- 
vised :  the  welfare  of  women,  children  and  operatives  in 
workshops  and  factories  was  safeguarded  :  the  Economy  and 
Efficiency  laws,  although  much  emasculated  by  the  Republi- 
can ma.iority.  were  passed  and  various  other  measures  in  the 
interest  of  the  people  of  the  State,  advocated  by  him.  were 
enacted.  His  defeat  of  vicious  and  improper  legislation,  by 
the  unsparing  use  of  his  veto  power,  deserves  particular 
commendation,    especially    those    vetoes    which    killed    those

an  expensive  examination  into  the  accounts  of  tlie  State,  by 
imposing  upon  the  Democratic  Comptroller,  the  burden  of 
working  out  the  financial  salvation  of  the  State,  giving  him 
the  power  to  grant  or  withhold  appropriations.  He  solved 
the  situation  and  acting  under  legislation  passed  in  1914,  he 
firmly  established  the  State's  credit,  so  that  the  State  is 
now  ready  to  take  advantage  of  trade  discounts  for  prompt 
payment.  In  1914  a  Democratic  Legislature  provided  for 
necessary  improvements  in  nearly  all  the  State  institutions. 
In  1915  a  Republican  Legislature  eliminated  such  improve- 
ments almost  entirely.  The  Legislature  of  1914  increased 
the  revenues  of  the  State  by  amendments  to  the  Inheritance 
Tax  laws,  which  have  resulted  in  an  increase  of  such  reve- 
nues from  $700,000  per  annum  to  $2, .500,000.  The  system 
of  examination  and  audit  provided  for  in  the  requisition  act 
recommended  by  the  Comptroller  and  passed  by  the  1914 
Legislature,  has  done  away  with  waste  and  extravagance  in 
the  expenditure  of  the  public  funds  and  has  aided  in  a  great 
degree  in  enabling  the  State  to  meet  all  its  obligations.  The 
policy  "pay  as  you  go"  is  the  watchword  of  our  parrty.  We 
are  opposed  to  a  State  tax  or  to  the  issue  of  bonds  for  any 
part  of  the  annual  expenses  of  the  government,  because  we 
are  convinced  that  with  due  economy  and  foresight,  neither 
is  necessary. 

We  denounce  the  false  claims  of  the  Republican  party  to 
credit  for  the  present  financial  condition  of  the  State.  No 
attempt  was  made  by  the  last  Legislature  to  provide  one 
penny  of  additional  revenue  and  the  bill  passed  by  that 
Legislature,  appropriating  money  for  State  purposes  for  the 
year  1915-1916,  will  not  become  effective  until  November 
1st  next,  yet  the  State  Treasury  to-day  has  a  cash  balance 
of  over  $1,000,000.  This  is  attributable  solely  to  the  revenue 
provided  by  the  Democratic  TjCgislature  of  1914  and  to  the 
careful  and  business-like  management  of  present  Democratic 
officials. 

8.  As  a  further  step  in  its  policy  of  placing  the  adminis- 
tration of  the  financial  affairs  of  the  State  upon  a  business 
basis,  the  Democratic  party  proposes,  if  entrusted  with  the 
control  of  the  next  Legislature,  to  enact  such  legislation 
as  may  he  necessary  to  insure  a  scientific  and  business-like 
system  of  appropriating  the  money  required  to  run  our  State 
government,  by  creating  a  comprehensive  budget  system, 
whereby  the  needs  and  requirements  of  the  State  departments 
and  institutions  and  necessary  public  improvements  will  be 
considered,  weighed  and  recommended  to  the  Legislature  by 
a  finance  board,  composed  of  State  officials  familiar  with 
such  needs  and  requirements,  the  continuity  of  which  board 
will  bring  to  this  important  function  of  government  that 
thought,  study  and  experience  which  will  produce  efficiency 
and  economy.

9.  Thoughtful  students  of  municipal  and  county  financier- 
ing are  agreed  that  greater  restrictions  should  be  imposed 
upon  the  power  of  public  bodies  to  incur  debts  for  posterity 
to  pay.  A  menace  to  sound  public  credit  and  a  growing 
burden  upon  the  taxpayer  is  the  system  now  so  prevalent, 
under  which  bonded  debts  are  created  for  public  improve- 
ments which  disappear  or  must  be  renewed  long  before  the 
debt  can  be  extinguished.  In  county  and  municipal,  as  well 
as  State  financiering,  therefore,  we  earnestly  favor  an  ex- 
tension, wherever  practicable,  of  the  "pay  as  you  go"  prin- 
ciple. In  no  event  should  bonds  be  issued  for  a  period  out- 
lasting the  improvements  for  which  they  pay.  We  favor 
such  legislation  regarding  this  important  subject  as  may 
efifect  the  necessary  and  prudent  reforms  that  wisdom  and 
experience  suggest. 

10.  To  the  citizen  no  right  is  more  sacred  than  that  of 
suffrage.  The  efficacy  of  the  honest  citizen's  ballot  is  nul- 
lified, if  through  fraud  it  is  not  counted,  or  through  cor- 
ruption it  is  offset  by  a  purchased  vote.  The  abuses  of  the 
boss-controlled  convention  and  primary  were  wiped  out  by 
the  Oeran  law  which  insures  to  every  candidate  for  public 
office  equal  opportunity.  The  most  salutary  requirement  of 
that  law.  in  fact  the  requirement  which  above  all  others 
guarantee  honest  elections,  was  that  which  required  personal 
registration  of  voters.  This  provision  prevented  persons 
voting  who  were  not  entitled  to  do  so — the  most  common 
practice  of  fraud  at  the  polls.  The  Republican  party,  always 
opposed  to  the  Geran  law,  has,  through  its  control  of  the 
last  Legislature,  dealt  the  cause  of  honest  elections  a  serious 
blow  by  abolishing  the  requirements  of  personal  regis- 
tration to  certain  municipalities.  We  fear  that  this  is 
the  opening  thrust  of  a  general  assault  upon  this  great 
measure  of  reform.  We  cannot  condemn  too  strongly  the 
efforts  of  the  Republican  party  to  devitalize  this  law  and 
we  renew  our  pledge  to  maintain  it  inviolate. 

11.  The  Republican  platform  of  1914  said.  "We  believe 
in  the  use  of  plain,  unmistakable  language  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  our  laws  and  condemn  the  use  of  words  and  phrases 
that  render  such  acts  unenforceable."  It  is  significant  that 
the  Republican  bill  providing  for  a  special  election  on  the 
constitutional  amendments,  was  framed  in  such  language 
as  to  make  it  absolutely  inoperative,  thereby  necessitating 
a  special  session  of  the  Legislature  to  correct  the  blunders. 
At  this  special  session,  hours  were  spent  jockeying  for  po- 
litical honors  between  the  House  and  the  Senate,  regardless 
of  the  demands  of  the  people  of  the  State  that  the  bill  pre- 
pared by  the  Attorney-General,  providing  for  the  special 
election  be  passed.  A  bill  passed  by  the  Senate  was  again 
found  to  be  defective  and  the  House  then  took  up,  amended 
and  passed  the  Attorney-General's  bill,  which  the  Senate 
finally  accepted.     These  House  amendments  increased  the  pay

of  election  officers  $38,000,  and  removed  the  provision  for 
numbered  ballots,  thus  opening  the  door  to  election  frauds. 
We  ask  the  voters  how  these  acts  of  the  Republican  Legis- 
lature square  with  their  promises  of  accuracy,  in  the  framing 
of  laws  and  economy  in  administration  and  we  pledge  our- 
selves to  the  enactment  of  laws  carefully  and  properly  pre- 
pared. 

12.  We  believe  that  the  principle  of  Civil  Service,  as  laid 
down  in  the  laws  now  in  force,  to  be  highly  beneficial  to 
the  State  and  municipal  governments  and  we  are  opposed  to 
any  measures  which  might  weaken  such  laws. 

13.  We  favor  the  continuance  of  liberal  State  aid  to 
counties  and  municipalities  for  the  maintenance  and  repair 
of  important  highways.  Recommendations  made  by  a  Demo- 
cratic Appropriation  Committee  for  essential  reforms  in  the 
road  laws  of  the  State  were  ignored  or  defeated  by  the 
party  in  control  of  the  last  session  of  the  Legislature.  We 
believe  that  in  the  interest  of  honesty  and  economy  in 
road  building  there  should  be  the  greatest  freedom  in  com- 
petition as  to  material  and  methods  of  construction  and  to 
this  end  we  favor  a  law  that  will  require  open  specifications 
for  all  highway  contracts  aided  by  the  State,  to  the  end 
that  patented  or  proprietary  material  or  processes  must  com- 
pete freely  as  to  price  with  all  material  or  processes  of 
the  same  general  quality  or  class. 

14.  The  constitution  of  the  State  provides  for  the  mainte- 
nance and  support  of  a  thorough  and  efficient  system  of 
free  public  schools  for  the  instruction  of  all  the  children  in 
this  State  between  the  ages  of  five  and  eighteen  years.  In 
spite  of  the  fact  that  our  splendid  free  public  school  system 
represents  a  public  investment  of  upwards  of  sixty  millions  of 
dollars,  many  pupils  are  denied  full  school  advantages  and 
are  compelled  to  accept  part  time  accommodations.  We 
favor  the  development  and  improvement  in  every  practicable 
way  of  the  schools  of  the  State,  to  the  end  that  all  children 
may  receive  the  thorough  and  efficient  training  guaranteed 
them  by  the  constitution.  We  favor  the  extension  of  in- 
dustrial education.  New  Jersey  is  rich  in  its  agricultural 
resources  and  may  become  richer  by  scientific  training  in 
agriculture.  We  strongly  favor  such  training  in  the  schools. 
In  the  development  of  the  rural  sections  of  the  State,  the 
county  school  should  be  a  large  factor,  therefore,  we  favor 
all  efforts  to  bring  the  rural  schools  to  the  highest  standard 
of  efficiency. 

We  also  favor  increased  means  for  the  training  of  teachers 
for  the  public  schools,  particularly  through  additional  Nor- 
mal Schools,  for  the  reason  that  we  are  to-day  importing 
many  teachers  from  other  States  because  of  lack  of  training 
facilities  within  the  State. 

We  believe  that  there  should  be  a  more  extended  use  of 
school  buildings  for  the  civic,  social  and  intellectual  benefit

that  the  people  of  the  State  may  secure  the  largest  possible 
returns  from  their  large  investment  in  these  public  buildings. 

15.  We  recognize  the  importance  of  the  agricultural  in- 
terests of  the  State  and  we  point  out  that  the  Democratic 
Legislature  of  1914,  appropriated  to  the  State  Agricultural 
College,  to  the  State  Experimental  Station  and  for  various 
purposes  designed  to  promote  and  foster  farming  and  allied 
industries,  over  $320,000.  We  believe  that  such  interests 
can  best  be  served  through  a  single  State  Board  the  members 
of  which  shall  not  be  selected  and  controlled  by  a  few 
voluntary  societies,  but  who  shall  be  truly  representative 
of  all  the  farmers  of  the  State  and  that  the  expenditure  of 
such  a  large  amount  of  State  funds  should  be  made  under 
the  supervision  of  a  department  organized  as  are  other  State 
departments,  which  cannot  be  exploited  to  further  the  po- 
litical fortunes  of  the  few  who  pose  as  the  farmers'  friends, 
solely  for  the  purpose  of  securing  office.  We  condemn  the 
legislation  for  a  State  Board  of  Agriculture  attempted  last 
year,  not  only  because  it  proposed  to  set  up  a  department 
entirely  beyond  State  control  and  over  which  the  State's 
financial  officers  could  exercise  no  supervision,  but  also  be- 
cause the  proposed  law  was  loosely  drawn  and  was  replete 
with  errors,  contradictions  and  provisions  impossible  of  en- 
forcement, clearly  showing  the  carelessness  or  incompetence 
with  which  the  subject  was  handled.  We  favor  an  investi- 
gation by  the  Economy  and  Efficiency  Commission,  of  the 
various  boards,  departments  and  bureaus  having  charge  of 
separate  -branches  of  this  work,  to  the  end  that  the  same 
may  be  consolidated,  expense  of  administration  saved  and 
the  interests  of  those  affected  more  efficiently  served. 

16.  We  favor  such  reasonable  measures  of  preparation  by 
the  Federal  Government  as  will  enable  this  Nation  to  prop- 
erly defend  itself  against  foreign  aggression.  The  preamble 
to  the  Federal  Constitution  declares  that  one  of  the  purposes 
for  which  the  union  of  the  States  was  formed,  was  to  "pro- 
vide for  the  common  defence"  and  we  hold  it  to  be  the 
duty  of  each  State  to  efficiently  train  and  provide  the  proper 
equipment  for  a  body  of  its  citizen  soldiery.  We  believe 
this  can  best  be  accomplished  by  giving  intelligent  legislative 
aid  to  the  building  up  and  strengthening  of  our  organized 
militia,  making  of  it  an  organization  whose  members  can 
be  depended  upon  for  effective  military  duty,  rather  than 
for  the  suppression  of  labor  difficulties.  We  pledge  our 
efforts  to  such  end  and  we  condemn  the  i-efusal  of  the  last 
Legislature  to  heed  the  warnings  of  the  Ad.jutant-General 
and  the  Quartermaster-General  and  provide  sufficient  money 
to  enable  the  militia  to  receive  the  immense  experience  and 
benefit  to  be  derived  from  an  encampment  at  tlie  training 
grounds  at  Sea  Girt. 

17.  The  growth  of  the  institutions  of  the  State  charged 
with  the  duty  of  maintaining  the   State's  wards,   charitable 


PARTY  PLATFORMS.  171 

and  penal,  has  outstripped  the  present  methods  of  adminis- 
tration. We  favor  an  extension  of  the  supervisory  powers 
of  the  Commissioner  of  Charities  and  Corrections  over  these 
institutions  and  their  functions.  At  this  time  there  is  no 
adequate  provision  for  the  care  of  the  unfortunate  blind  or 
those  suffering  from  advanced  stages  of  tuberculosis.  We 
strongly  urge  the  undertaking  of  the  proper  care  of  those 
so  afflicted. 

18.  We  believe  that  the  establishment  of  a  Central  Pur- 
chasing Bureau  for  all  State  supplies  will  be  in  accord  with 
good  business  methods  and  will  result  in  economy  in  State 
expenditures  and  we  urge  that  the  Economy  and  Efficiency 
Commission  investigate  this  subject  and  make  a  report  to 
the  next  session  of  the  Legislature. 

19.  We  favor  the  law  compensating  workingmen  when  in- 
jured in  the  employment  and  favor  its  extension  as  the 
future  may  demand. 


REPUBLICAN. 

(Adopted  at  the  State  Convention  held  at  Trenton.  Oc- 
tober 5th,  1915,  and  presided  over  by  President  of  the 
Senate,  Walter  E.  Edge,  of  Atlantic  county.) 

One  year  ago  the  Republicon  Convention,  consisting  of 
legislative  nominees  and  others  as  designated  by  law,  met 
in  annual  session  in  Trenton. 

At  that  time  a  contract  with  the  public  was  proposed, 
that  if  placed  in  power,  a  program  of  constructive  legisla- 
tion would  be  undertaken.  Definite  pledges  were  adopted 
in  order  that  the  obligation  should  be  clear  and  unmis- 
takable. 

The  voters  accepted  the  pledges  made,  and  at  the  election 
following,  changed  the  Democratic  control  in  both  Houses 
of  the  Legislature  to  a  Republican  majority. 

The  last  session  has  more  constructive  work  to  its  credit 
than  has  been  accomplished  in  any  single  session  in  years. 
The  work  of  reformation,  after  Democratic  rule  of  the 
State  for  four  yeai's,  could  not  be  completed  in  a  single 
session,  and  we  pledge  ourselves,  if  elected,  to  continue 
this  work  of  improvement  and  reform. 

The  economy  and  efficiency  legislation  which  failed  in 
two  previous  Democratic  Legislatures  was  successfully 
placed  on  the  statute  books,  and  numerous  consolidations 
of  scattered  State  Departments  have  been  effected  thereby 
in  the  interest  of  modern  businesslike  regulation  and  control. 

Bittex  Democratic  opposition  to  these  reforms  marked 
almost  every  legislative  step,  in  clear  violation  of  their 
promises  to  the  people,  as  the  Democratic  party  was  as 
strongly  pledged  to  the  economy  and  efficiency  program  as 
were  the  Republicans. 


172  PARTY  PLATFORMS. 

In  addition  to  the  continuation  of  the  program  already 
well  under  way  through  the  accomplishments  of  the  last 
session,  in  our  judgment  particular  attention  should  be 
given  by  the  incoming  Legislature  to  : 

A  revised  financial  policy,  including  a  proper  businesslike 
budget  system. 

Enact  such  laws  as  will  insure  a  sane  and  businesslike 
policy  for  the  development  of  tne  rivers,  harbors,  canals 
and  other  waterways  of  the  State,  as  they  are  among  our 
most  valuable  assets,  and  when  properly  improved,  will 
prove  of  incalculable  benefit  to  our  citizens. 

The  promotion  of  free,  public,  non-sectarian  education ; 
the  development  of  industrial,  vocational  and  agricultural 
education ;  a  constructive  policy  for  the  development  of 
rural  schools ;  additional  normal  school  facilities  as  soon 
as  the  finances  will  warrant ;  the  encouragement  and  sup- 
port of  the  negro  in  his  struggle  for  advancement  and 
wholesome  service  through  a  liberal  education. 

A  proper  equalization  of  tax  assessments. 

The  elimination  of  grade  crossings  in  the  order  of  danger 
and  as  rapidly  as  the  expense  definitely  involved  will  permit. 

Enact  such  laws  as  shall  direct  the  procedure  for  the 
creation  and  retirement  of  the  obligations  of  our  munici- 
palities, that  public  weiiare  may  be  advanced,  municipal 
crjedit  conserved  and  the  taxpayexs'  interestis  proipeirly 
safeguarded. 

Study  the  problem  of  the  expense  and  care  of  our  mental 
defectives  so  that  they  may  receive  the  greatest  amount  of 
care  with  the  least  expense  to  the  State. 

An  aggressive  encouragement  and  development  of  our 
agricultural  resources. 

A  revision  of  the  road  laws  of  om"  State  and  the  develop- 
ment and  systematic  repair  of  our  good  roads  which,  under 
the  Democratic  administration,  have  been  allowed  to  oe 
ruined  so  that  now  they  have  become  a  disgrace  instead  of 
a  credit  to  the  State. 

A  continuation  of  the  program  for  economy  and  efllciency, 
so  substantially  begun. 

A  proper  protection  of  the  labor  interests  of  the  State. 

A  simplification  of  our  election  laws  without  sacrificing 
the  safety  or  the  honesty  of  the  ballot  in  order  that  the 
large  number  of  voters  who  refuse  to  exercise  suffrage 
under  our  unnecessarily  complicated  machinery  shall  not 
be  disfranchised. 

A  proiper  delegation  of  power  to  municipalities  without 
sweeping  away  those  fundamental  State-wide  principles  and 
policies  generally  accepted  and  recognized  for  years  as 
wise  and  beneficent. 

Maintain  and  safeguard  the  Civil  Service  law  of  the 
State,  passed  by  a  Republican  Legislature  in  1908,  since 
greatly    weakened   through   Democratic    manipulation. 


PARTY  PLATFORMS.  173 

The  necessity  for  a  revised  financial  policy  is  most  ap- 
parent from  the  fact  that  the  Democratic  Comptroller 
admitted  in  a  report  to  the  Legislature  of  1915  that  the 
State  faced  a  deficit  which  might  exceed  by  the  close  of  the 
fiscal  year  $2,000,000.  The  Republican  majority,  recogniz- 
ing this  serious  financial  situation,  brought  about  by  ex- 
cessive aippropriations  of  tue  two  preceding  Democratic 
Legislatures,  cut  down  the  appropriations  $1,200,000,  and 
yet  provided  ample  funds  for  the  maintenance  of  all  State 
institutions  and  departments. 

We  insist  that  the  State  should  not  spend  more  than  its 
income,  a  policy  adopted  by  the  Republicans  at  the  last 
session,  and  to  this  end  we  shall  limit  our  appropriations 
within  the  estimated  income  of  the  State.  If  the  Demo- 
crats had  subscribed  to  this  policy,  a  deficit,  of  course, 
could  never  have  occurred. 

The  requisition  system  we  approve  in  principle,  but  not 
to  the  extent  that  permits  any  State  officer  to  arbitrarily 
withhold  payment  of  appropriations  to  the  embarrassment 
of  institutions  and  State  departments,  when  the  same  have 
been  regularly  allowed  by  the  Legislature. 

In  connection  with  a  revised  financial  policy  we  propose 
to  consider  the  matter  of  State  purchases,  whereby  State 
supplies  can  be  standardized  and  purchased  in  bulk,  as  is 
done  in  large  and  successful  business. 

We  apipeal  to  the  patriotic  citizens  of  New  Jersey  to  vote 
against  the  Democratic  party  which  has  allowed  American 
citizens  to  be  shot,  American  soldiers  and  sailors  to  be 
killed,  and  the  American  flag  to  be  trampled  in  the  dust 
without  taking  adequate  measures  for  redress. 

We  appeal  to  the  electorate  to  rebuke  the  Democratic 
party  for  its  enactment  of  a  tariff,  which  approaches  free 
trade,  has  paralyzed  the  industries  of  the  country,  except 
those  that  aie  supported  by  a  foreign  war  ;  it  has  injured 
the  credit  of  the  United  States  so  that  its  bonds  are  selling 
below  par,  and,  in  spite  of  its  promises,  the  cost  of  living 
is  continually  rising. 

We  appeal  to  all  the  people  of  our  State,  irrespective  of 
party  affiliation,  for  the  support  of  this  program,  for  a  vote 
of  confidence  in  Republican  ideals  and  principles,  so  that  a 
re-united  party  may  realize  the  true  aspirations  of  a  great 
majority  of  the  citizens  of  the  Republic.

We,  the  Progressive  party  of  New  Jersey,  in  convention

SCHOOL  LAW.  175 

SYNOPSIS  OF  SCHOOL  LAW. 


The  State  Board  of  Education  consists  of  eight  members, 
not  more  than  one  of  whom  shall  reside  in  the  same  county, 
and  not  more  than  four  of  whom  shall  belong  I.0  the  same 
political  party.  It  has  control  of  the  State  Normal  Schools, 
the  School  for  the  Deaf  and  the  Manual  Training  and  In- 
dustrial School  for  Colored  Youth.  It  confirms  the  appoint- 
ment of  the  county  superintendents  of  schools,  decides  ap- 
peals from  the  decisions  of  the  Commissioner  of  Education, 
and  makes  rules  for  the  granting  of  teachers'  certificates  and 
for  carrying  into  effect  the  school  laws  of  the  State.  It 
appoints  an  inspector  of  school  buildings  and  an  inspector 
of  accounts. 

The  Commissioner  of  Education  is  appointed  by  the  gov- 
ernor and  confirmed  by  the  Senate.  He  appo.nts  the  county 
superintendents  of  schools,  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.  There  are  four  assistant  commissioners 
appointed  by  the  commissioner  by  the  advice  and  consent  of 
the  State  Board  of  Education ;  one  acts  as  inspector  of 
secondary  schools,  another  as  inspector  of  elementary  schools, 
another  as  inspector  of  industrial  education,  and  another  to 
hear  controversies  and  disputes  arising  under  the  school  law. 

There  is  a  superintendent  of  schools  for  each  county,  ap- 
pointed by  the  Commissioner  of  Education  and  confirmed  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  con- 
nection with  the  local  Board  of  Education,  prescribes  the 
course  of  study  to  be  pursued  in  the  district,  approves  the 
necessity  for  transportation  and  the  cost  and  method  thereof. 

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  Education  in  a 
city  school  district  are  appointed  by  the  mayor. 


176  SCHOOL  LAW. 

In  order  to  be  eligible  to  membership  in  the  Board  of 
Education,  a  person  must  be  a  citizen  of  the  United  States 
and  must  have  been  a  resident  of  the  district  for  at  least 
three  years  immediately  preceding  his  or  her  election  or  ap- 
pointment 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. 

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  appro- 
priations, the  amount  to  be  raised  for  school  purposes.  The 
amount  so  certified  must  be  raised. 

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  term  of  office  begins  the  first 
Monday  in  April.  The  qualifications  for  membership  are 
the  same  as  in  city  school  districts.  The  special  district 
school  tax  is  voted  either  at  the  annual  meeting  or  at  a 
special  school  meeting  called  by  the  Board  of  Education. 
Bonds  for  school  houses  are  authorized  by  the  legal  voters. 
School  bonds  cannot  be  sold  at  private  sale  except  to  the 
Trustees  of  the  School  Fund  or  Sinking  Fund  Commissioners 
unless  said  Trustees  or  Commissioners  have  refused  to  buy 
them.  Bonds  cannot  be  delivered  to  any  purchaser  other 
than  the  Trustees  of  the  School  Fund  except  upon  payment 
of  full  purchase  price.  Women  may  vote  at  district  meet- 
ings on  all  questions  except  the  election  of  members  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  which  is  prohibited  by  the  Constitution. 
Truant  officers  and  janitors  cannot  be  discharged  or  their 
compensation  decreased  except  for  cause  and  after  a  hearing. 

Funds  for  the  support  of  schools  come  from  the  following 
sources  :  First,  from  the  income  of  the  State  School  Fund. 
The  principal  of  this  fund  is  derived  almost  entirely  from 
the  sale  and  rental  of  lands  under  water  belonging  to  the 
State.  The  principal  cannot  be  used  for  any  purpose,  and 
the  income  can  be  used  only  for  the  support  of  public  schools. 
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 


SCHOOL  LAW.  177 

each  dollar  of  the  taxable  property  in  the  State.  Fourth, 
the  railroad  tax  received  by  the  State  in  excess  of  one-half 
of  one  per  cent,  of  the  value  of  the  railroad  property.  Fifth, 
interest  of  surplus  revenue,  and  sixth,  local  school  tax. 

The  income  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  ten  per  cent,  received  from  all  the 
counties  forms  the  reserve  fund,  which  is  apportioned  among 
the  counties  in  the  discretion  of  the  State  Board  of  Educa- 
tion.    The  railroad  tax  is  apportioned  on  the  ratables. 

The  County  Superintendent  apportions  to  each  district  $600 
for  the  Superintendent  or  Supervising  Principal,  if  there  be 
one ;  $500  for  each  teacher  in  a  special  class  for  subnormal 
children  ;  $400  for  each  Assistant  Superintendent  and  Super- 
visor, and  for  each  permanent  teacher  employed  in  a  high 
school  having  a  full  four-years'  course  of  study  ;  $300  for 
each  permanent  teacher  employed  in  a  high  school  having 
a  full  three-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  evening  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  transportation  of  pupils  approved  by 
the  County  Superintendent.  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  compensation  of 
the  custodian  must  be  fixed  by  the  Board  of  Education  and 
paid  from  school  funds.  If  there  are  two  or  more  munici- 
palities in  the  district,  the  Board  of  Education  may  appoint 
its  own  custodian. 

Each  collector  must  pay  to  the  county  collector  the 
amount  of  State  school  tax  due  from  his  taxing  district  not 
later  than  December  22d.  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 


178  SCHOOL  LAW. 

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  20th. 

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. 

County  vocational  schools  may  be  established  in  any 
county  under  rules  made  by  the  State  Board  of  Education. 
The  location  of  these  schools  shall  be  approved  by  the  Com- 
missioner of  Education  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the 
State  Board  of  Education.  The  Board  of  Education  for 
such  vocational  school  shall  consist  of  the  County  Superin- 
tendent and  four  persons  to  be  appointed  by  the  judge  of 
the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  in  the  county.  The  State 
appropriates  a  sum  equal  to  that  raised  in  the  county  for 
the  establishment  of  such  school.  The  amount  contributed 
by  the  State  for  any  such  school  shall  not  exceed  in  any 
one  year  the  sum  of  $10,000. 

Every  district  must  provide  free  text-books  and  supplies 
for  all  pupils  and  must  also  provide  a  flag  for  each  school 
house,  which  flag  must  be  displayed  every  day  the  school  is 
in  session.  The  selection  of  a  text-book  requires  the  vote  of 
a  majority  of  the  whole  number  of  members  of  the  Board 
of  Education.  A  Board  of  Education  must  employ  medical 
inspectors  and  attendance  officers. 

Every  school  which  raises  $20  to  establish  a  school  library 
may  receive  a  like  amount  from  the  State.  After  the  flrst 
payment,  the  State  will  give  $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  follow- 
ing requirements  :  First,  light  must  be  admitted  to  the  class 
rooms  only  from  the  left  and  rear.  Second,  the  total  light 
area  must  equal  20  per  cent,  of  floor  space.  Third,  there 
must  be  18  square  feet  of  floor  space  and  not  less  than  200 
cubic  feet  of  air  space  for  each  pupil.  Fourth,  all  rooms 
must  have  a  proper  system  of  ventilation  which  will  supply 
30  cubic  feet  of  fresh  air  per  minute  for  each  pupil.  Fifth, 
all  ceilings  must  be  at  least  12  feet  in  height  and  all  stairs 
must  be   at   least   4   feet  wide,    with   intermediate   landings,

enclosed  in  brick  walls  or  by  partitions  of  slow-burning  con- 
struction, and  without  open  well  holes.  Sixth,  a  school 
house  having  eight  rooms  must  have  two  flights  of  stairs, 
each  four  feet  in  width,  or  one  flight  not  less  than  six  feet 
in  width,  one  having  from  eight  to  sixteen  rooms,  two  flights 
of  stairs  not  less  than  five  feet  in  width,  and  one  having 
sixteen  or  more  rooms,  four  flights  of  stairs  not  less  than 
four  feet  in  width,  or  two  flights  not  less  than  six  feet  in 
width.  Seventh,  all  ceilings  must  be  either  metal,  wood  or 
plaster  on  metal  laths  and  painted  white  or  some  light  tint. 

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  governing  the  em- 
ployment 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  Superintendent, 
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.  After 
three  years'  continuous  service  a  teacher  cannot  be  removed 
except  upon  charges  and  after  a  hearing. 

All  persons  appointed  as  teachers,  principals  or  superin- 
tendents, who  have  not  taught  in  this  State  prior  to  Jan- 
uary 1st,  1908,  are  members  of  the  Teachers'  Retirement 
Fund  by  virtue  of  such  appointment. 

A  State  pension  is  also  provided  for  teachers  who  have 
had  thirty-five  years  of  actual  service  ;  twenty-five  years  of 
such  service  must  have  been  in  New  Jersey.  The  annual 
pension  provided  is  one-half  the  average  annual  salary  re- 
ceived for  the  last  five  years  of  service. 

The  State  Board  of  Examiners  consists  of  the  Commis- 
sioner of  Education,  the  Principals  of  the  Normal  Schools 
and  a  County  Superintendent  and  a  City  Superintendent 
appointed  by  the  State  Board  of  Education.  This  Board 
issues  certificates  valid  in  all  parts  of  this  State  and  in  any 
school  or  grade. 

All  kindergarten  teachers  must  hold  special  kindergarten 
certificates.  Special  certificates  may  be  issued  for  kinder- 
garten, physical  training,  manual  training,  music,  drawing, 
modern  languages,  commercial  branches,  cooking,  sewing, 
agriculture  and  penmanship.  All  applicants  for  certificates 
must  file  testimonials  of  good  moral  character,  and,  in  case 
of  previous  experience,  of  success  as  teachers. 


180  SCHOOL  LAW. 

Graduates  of  the  Normal  Schools  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  Nor- 
mal Schools,  and  the  State  in  which  they  were  issued  grants 
reciprocal  privileges  to  graduates  of  the  New  Jersey  Normal 
Schools. 

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  desiring 
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.  Children  who  have  never 
attended  any  school  can  be  admitted  to  a  public  school 
only  during  the  ten  days  immediately  following  the  opening 
af  the  school  in  the  fall  and  during  the  first  five  days  in 
January  and  April,  except  by  the  vote  of  a  majority  of  all 
the  members  of  the  Board  of  Education. 

All  children  between  the  ages  of  7  and  16  must  attend 
either  a  public  or  private  school  every  day  such  school  is  in 
session,  unless  they  are  taught  at  home  or  are  physically 
or  mentally  unfit  to  attend.  Children  between  14  and  16 
years  of  age  who  have  completed  five  yearly  grades  may  be 
granted  certificates  permitting  them  to  go  to  work.  The 
parent  of  a  child  who  does  not  attend  school  may  be  pro- 
ceeded against  before  a  magistrate  as  a  disorderly  person. 
If  the  parent  is  unable  to  control  the  child,  such  child  may 
be  proceeded  against  as  a  disorderly  person. 

Corporal  punishment  in  all  public  schools  is  absolutely 
prohibited.

GOVERNOR  OF  NEW  JERSEY. 


JAMES  FAIRMAN  FIELDER. 

Governor  Fielder  was  born  in  Jursey  City,  Febru- 
ary 26th,  1867.  His  ancestors  on  his  mother's  side 
were  Hollanders  and  on  his  father's  side,  English. 
They  were  among  the  earliest  settlers  in  the  State  of 
New  Jersey.  The  families  of  both  father  and  mother 
of  Governor  Fielder  have  been  well  known  in  the  re- 
ligious and  political  history  of  the  State.  His  mother 
was  Eleanor  A.  Brinkerhoff,  a  sister  of  former  Senator 
William  Brinkerhoff,  His  father  was  George  B. 
Fielder,  Register  of  Hudson  county  and  member  of 
the  Forty-third  Congress.  His  paternal  grandfather 
was  a  leading  citizen  of  Jersey  City  and  was  a  mem- 
ber of  Assembly  from  the  county  of  Hudson  in  1871, 
and  his  maternal  grandfather  was  for  many  years  a 
county  judge  of  Hudson  county.  The  BrinkerhofCs 
were  pioneers  in  the  establishment  of  the  Dutch  Re- 
formed Church  in  the  State,  and  took  a  very  prominent 
part  in  establishing  and  erecting  the  old  Bergen  Dutch 
Reformed  Church  which  now  stands  near  Bergen 
Square  in  Jersey  City,  one  of  the  oldest  churches  in 
the  State.  The  Governor  is  a  member  of  St.  John's 
Episcopal  Church  in  Jersey  City. 

Governor  Fielder  attended  the  public  schools  and 
high  school  of  his  home  city,  and  later  finished  at  the 
Selleck  School  at  Norwalk,  Conn.  He  attended  Co- 
lumbia University  Law  School,  from  which  he  gradu- 
ated in  1887  with  the  degree  of  LL.B.  After  his  gradu- 
ation he  served  his  apprenticeship  in  the  office  of  his 
uncle,  ex-Senator  Brinkerhoff,  and  was  admitted  to 
the  bar  in  1888.  He  was  a  member  of  the  House  of 
Assembly  from  Hudson  county  in  1903  and  1904,  and  in 
1907  was  elected  to  the  Senate.  In  1910  he  was  re- 
elected by  the  largest  majority  of  votes  ever  given  to 


BIOGRAPHIES.  277 

a  State  Senator  from  his  county.  On  June  4th,  1895, 
Governor  Fielder  married  Mabel  Cholwell  Miller,  of 
Norwalk,  Conn. 

In  his  younger  days  Governor  Fielder  was  a  member 
of  the  Democratic  County  Committee  of  Hudson  county, 
and  since  his  entry  into  politics  he  has  progressed  step 
by  step.  He  occupied  positions  of  prominence  on  the 
most  important  committees  of  the  House  of  Assembly 
during  his  terms  in  that  body,  as  well  as  in  the  Senate. 
He  was  elected  President  of  the  Senate  by  his  col- 
leagues in  January,  1913,  and  when  Governor  Wilson 
became  President  of  the  United  States  he  became  Act- 
ing Governor  by  virtue  of  the  constitution.  The  elec- 
tion of  Governor  Fielder  as  President  of  the  Senate 
was  more  significant  than  other  elections  to  this  im- 
portant office,  because  at  that  time  Governor  Wilson 
had  been  elected  President  of  the  United  States,  and  it 
was  known  that  the  member  of  the  Senate  elected  as 
president  of  that  body  would  be  the  Governor  of  the 
State  to  succeed  Governor  Wilson.  His  Democratic  col- 
leagues in  the  Senate  cast  their  votes  unanimously  for 
Governor  Fielder,  and  his  election  met  with  the  uni- 
versal approval  of  his  party.  President  Wilson  him- 
self was  so  well  pleased  with  the  selection  of  his  suc- 
cessor that  in  his  message  to  the  Legislature,  delivered 
prior  to  his  departure  from  the  State  to  take  up  his 
duties  as  President,  he  expressed  his  satisfaction  as 
follows: 

"May  I  not  in  closing  express  the  satisfaction  I 
feel  in  the  knowledge  that  when  I  lay  down  the  duties 
of  Governor  I  shall  leave  them  in  the  hands  of  Senator 
Fielder,  a  man  of  proved  character,  capacity,  fidelity, 
and  devotion  to  the  public  service,  a  man  of  the  type 
to  which  the  people  of  this  State  desire  their  public 
men  to  conform." 

Governor  Wilson  resigned  his  office  as  Governor  on 
the  1st  of  March,  and  in  turning  over  to  Senator 
Fielder  the  great  seal  of  the  State  in  the  presence  of 
the  House  of  Assembly  and  Senate  assembled  in  joint 
session,  he  again  paid  a  glowing  tribute  to  the  quali- 
fications of  Governor  Fielder. 

Governor  Fielder  served  as  Acting  Governor  from 
March  1st  to  October  28th,  1913,  when  he  resigned  as 
Senator  from  Hudson  county,  thus  creating  a  vacancy 
in  the  office  of  Governor,  and  was  succeeded  by  Leon

UNITED    STATES    SENATORS. 


JAMES  E.  MARTINE,  Plalnfield. 

Senator  Marline,  who,  on  March  4,  1911,  succeeded 
John  Kean  as  one  of  the  United  States  Senators  from 
New  Jersey,  has  the  distinction  of  being  the  first  mem- 
ber of  the  Upper  Chamber  of  Congress  from  an  east- 
ern state, 'who  obtained  his  election  as  a  result  of  a 
direct  vote  of  the  people. 

Mr.  Martine  was  elected  United  States  Senator  in  a 
joint  session  of  the  Legislature  on  January  23,  1911, 
following  an  exciting  and  notable  campaign  resulting 
from  the  demand  that  the  Legislature  acquiesce  in  the 
choice  made  in  the  direct  primaries  on  September  13, 
1910.  Under  the  direct  primary  law,  Mr.  Martine  sub- 
mitted himself  as  an  aspirant  for  the  Democratic  nom- 
ination for  United  States  Senator.  He  received  47,458 
vote^,   or  four  times  as  many  as  his  opponent. 

Senator  Martine  was  born  in  New  York  City,  August 
25,  1850.  Subsequently  his  parents  moved  to  Plain- 
field,  where  his  father,  Daniel  W.  Martine,  purchased 
a  farm  of  160  acres,  surrounding  a  house  which  is  now

Senator  Martine's  father  died  when  the  former  was 
still  in  his  teens  and  since  that  time  he  has  been  ac-

constructed   under  his  direction.

During  his  career  in  the  Legislature  the  Congress- 
man always  took  an  active  interest  in  the  affairs  of 
that  body  and  was  ever  alert  for  the  promotion  of

ality. He  was  complimented  at  the  close  of  the  ses- 
sion by  his  colleagues  for  his  record  as  a  presiding

the  department  not  only  in  the  method  of  road  build- 
ing, but  also  the  work  of  the  office,  which  assiduity

WILLIAM  H.  VREDENBURGH,  Freehold. 

Judge  Vredenburgh  comes  fron?  a  very  old  Ntw  Jersey 
family,  being  the  second  son  of  tht  late  Judge  Peter  Vre- 
denburgh. The  first  generation  of  the  family  on  this  side 
of  the  Atlantic,  as  appears  from  ancient  records,  sprang 
from  William  I.  Vredenburg,  who  came  to  New  Nether- 
lands from  The  Hague  In  May,  1658,  in  the  ship  Gilded 
Beaver. 

Peter  Vredenburg,  father  of  the  present  Judge,  was  a 
prominent  jurist  In  both  State  and  nation.  He  served  two 
terms  as  an  Associate  Justice  of  the  New  Jersey  Supreme 
Court,  being  first  appointed  by  Governor  Price,  in  1855,  and 
again  by  Governor  Olden  In  1862.  Many  of  his  decisions  are 
regarded  as  being  among  the  ablest  reported. 

Judge  Vredenburgh  was  born  August  19th,  liAO;  was 
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 
in  June,  1865.  He  is  one  of  three  sons,  all  of  whom  were 
lawyers. 

After  his  admission,  young  Vredenburgh  began  the  prac- 
tice of  his  profession  at  Freehold,  his  native  town,  and  has 
continued  to  carry  on  the  law  business  there  ever  since, 
with  the  exception  of  about  a  year,  1864,  when  he  was 
located  at  Eatontown,  to  continue  the  business  of  his 
brother.  Major  Peter  Vredenburgh,  Jr.,  who  was  absent 
in  the  military  service,  and  who  was  killed  September  19th, 
1864,  at  the  battlo  of  Winchester,  Va.,  at  the  head  of  his 
regiment. 

In  1865  Mr.  Vredenburgh  formed  a  law  partnership  with 
Philip  J.  Ryall,  which  continued  for  about  five  years,  until 
Mr.  Ryall's  failing  health  compelled  his  retirement  from 
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 
Prohibitionists,  and  by  a  very  narrow  majority. 

In  1897  he  was  one  of  the  special  Commissioners  to  con- 
sider the  question  of  railroad  taxation,  whose  report  be- 
came enacted  into  the  body  of  the  tax  laws.

Board  of  Trade.  His  legislative  career  began  in  1911. 
He  served  in  the  House  of  Assembly  that  year,  in 
1912,  and  again  in  1913.  He  was  again  elected  to 
the  House  of  1915,  when  he  was  chosen  as  the  leader 
of    the    Democratic   members    on    the    floor. 

Mr.  Martin  takes  more  gratification  out  of  the  re- 
sult of  his  efforts  in  connection  with  the  attempt  to 
enact  Morris  Canal  legislation  than  any  other  bill 
in  the  passage  or  defeat  of  which  he  played  any  part. 
As  the  Democratic  leader  Mr.  Martin  vigorously  op- 
posed legislation  that  he  thought  would  prove  detri- 
mental to  the  best  interests  of  the  State,  and  time 
has  justified   the   position    taken   by   him. 

When  Governor  Fielder  was  called  upon  to  name 
a  new  Secretary  of  State  because  of  the  death  of 
David  S.  Crater,  the  then  secretary,  Mr.  Martin  was 
accorded  a  tribute  such  as  has  never  before  been  ex- 
tended to  any  man  in  this  State.  Every  member  of 
the  House  of  Assembly,  of  which  he  was  a  member, 
waited  upon  the  Governor,  and  regardless  of  their 
politics,. they  asked  for  the  naming  of  Mr.  Martin  to 
the  place.  Governor  Fielder  named  Mr.  Martin  as 
Secretary  of  State,  April  5th,  1915,  for  a  term  of  five 
years.     The  salary   is   $6,000  per  year.

JOSEPH  S.  FRELINGHUYSEN,  President,  Raritan. 

President  Frelinghuysen  was  born  March  12th,  1869, 
at  Raritan,  N.  J.,  and  has  always  made  that  town  his 
home.  His  ancestor,'  Rev.  Tlieodorus  Jacobus  Fre- 
linghu^-sen,  came  from  Holland  in  1720  and  was  the 
pioneer  in  establishing  the  Reformed  Dutch  Church  in 
New  Jersey.  Major-General  Frederick  Frelinghuysen, 
who  served  with  great  distinction  in  the  Revolutionary 
war,  and  who  was  a  member  of  the  Continental  Con- 
gress, was  his  great  grandfather.  General  John  Fre- 
linghuysen, an  officer  in  the  war  of  1912,  was  his 
grandfather.  Theodore  Frelinghuysen,  United  States 
Senator,  Chancellor  of  the  University  of  New  York, 
and  candidate  for  Vice-President  with  Henry  Clay  on 
the  Whig  ticket,  was  a  great  uncle.  His  father, 
Frederick  John  Frelinghuysen,  was  a  prominent  lawyer 
and  closely  identified  with  the  political  and  religious 
life  of  Somerset  county. 

President  Frelinghuysen's  inclination  for  and  ac- 
tivity in  public  affairs  is  a  natural  heritage.  Forced 
by  stress  of  circumstances  to  surrender  his  natural 
inclination  for  a  college  education,  he,  after  preparing 
for  college  at  the  Somerville  Grammar  school,  ob- 
tained employment  as  clerk  in  a  fire  insurance  office, 
and  has  since  that  time  built  up  a  business  in  New 
York  City  which  is  recognized  as  one  of  the  foremost 
general  agencies  in  the  country,  representing  nearly 
a  score  of  large  and  profitably  conducted  fire  insurance

culiar distinction  of  serving  in  that  capacity  for  fiVe

son  county.

City,  a  position  he  held  until  May  1st,  1900.  Later 
Mr.  Nevin  became  connected  with  the  American  Bond-

State   Superintendent   of  "Weights   and   Measures. 

WILLIAM  L.  WALDRON,  Trenton. 

Mr.  Waldron  was  born  in  Trenton  on  December  7th, 
1868.  He  received  his  early  education  in  St.  Mary's 
Parochial  School,  the  same  city.  He  was  obliged  to 
become   a  bread-winner   when   but   thirteen   years   old,

because  of  the  circumstances  of  his  widowed  mother 
and  her  other  six  younger  children.  Later  he  attended 
night  school,  becoming  enrolled  as  a  student  in  the 
commercial  department  of  the  Stewart  Business  Col- 
lege.    He  passed  with  high  honors. 

Mr.  Waldron's  first  position  was  as  errand  boy  for 
the  Trenton  Co-Operative  Society,  which  managed  a 
large  grocery  and  meat  market.  He  was  promoted  a 
year  later  to  a  clerkship  and,  finally,  when  the  com- 
pany decided  to  establish  a  branch  store,  Mr.  Waldron 
was  the  choice  for  manager.  He  made  such  a  success 
of  the  venture  that,  a  couple  of  years  later  the  so- 
ciety concluded  to  open  a  second  branch  store.  Mr. 
Waldron  was  again  the  unanimous  choice  of  the  di- 
rectors for  the  management  of  the  newer  place. 

Twelve  years  ago,  Mr.  Waldron  decided  to  go  into 
business  for  himself.  He  developed  a  business  corner 
that  had  for  years  been  regarded  as  a  hoodoo  into  one 
of  the  most  prosperous  in  Trenton.  He  sold  out  this 
business  when  Governor  Wilson  unexpectedly  named 
him  to  the  superintendency  of  weights  and  measures 
August  23,  1911.  Governor  Wilson's  attention  is  said 
to  have  been  attracted  to  Mr.  Waldron  because  of  his 
splendid  run  for  city  commissioner  in  that  year.  He 
not  only  figured  among  the  ten  highest  men  at  the 
primary  but  also  came  within  a  couple  of  hundred 
votes  of  being  elected  a  commissioner.  This  was  re- 
garded as  a  remarkable  tribute  to  the  personal  pop- 
ularity of  a  man  who  had  never  before  figured  in  pub- 
lic life,  who  had  done  little  or  no  campaigning,  and 
who  was  the  only  one  of  the  ten  candidates  on  elec- 
tion day  that  had  never  been  previously  able  to  attract 
public  attention  through  the  occupancy  of  a  public 
office.  His  term  of  office  Is  five  years  and  salary  $2,500. 
His  term  will  expire   in   1916.

State  Commission  to  investigate  dependency  and 
criminality,  and  was  conspicuous  in  the  work  of  that

quently been  enacted  into  law.  He  was  first  as- 
sistant Supervisor  of  Bills  in  the  New  Jersey  Senate

TAXES  AND   ASSESSMENT,   STATE   BOARD   0E\ 

(This  board  consists  of  the  former  Board  of  Equalization  of 
Taxes   and    ttie    State    Board   of   Assessors.) 

Lucius  T.  Russell,  President,  Elizabeth,  1918  ;  George  T. 
Bouton,  Jersey  City,  1916  ;  Frank  B.  Jess,  Haddon  Heights, 
1917 ;  Frederic  A.  Gentieu,  Pennsgrove,  1917 ;  Isaac  Bar- 
ber, Phillipsburg,  1918.  Secretary,  Frank  D.  Schroth  ;  Clerk 
and  Field  Secretary,  Frank  A.  O'Connor ;  Engineer,  Louis 
Focht. 

The  State  Board  of  Taxes  and  Assessment  is  a  consoli- 
dation of  the  old  Board  of  Equalization  of  Taxes  and  the 
State  Board  of  Assessors.  The  new  body  was  croatod  un'der 
the  provisions  of  Chapter  244  of  the  Laws  of  1915.  It 
organized  July  1st.  and  the  purpose  of  the  merger  was  to 
co-ordinate  two   bodies   having   similar   functions. 

The  old  State  Board  of  Assessors  was  created  under  an 
act  of  the  Legislature  entitled  "An  act  for  the  taxation  of 
railroad  and  canal  property,"  approved  April  10th,  1884. 
The  work  of  this  body  was  increased  during  the  same  year 
by  the  passage  of  another  act,  entitled  "An  act  to  provide 
for  the  imposition  of  State  taxes  upon  certain  corporations, 
and  for  the  collection  thereof,"  approved  April  18th,  1884. 
The  Legislature  further  charged  this  board  with  the  assess- 
ment and  apportionment  of  the  Municipal  Franchise  tax 
to  be  paid  by  persons,  co-partnerships,  associations  or  cor- 
porations using  or  occupying  public  streets,  highw^ays,  roads 
or  other  public  places,  by  an  act  passed  in  1900  and  taking 
effect  January   1st,    1901. 

The  State  Board  of  Equalization  of  Taxes  was  created  by 
an  act  of  the  Legislature  approved  March  29th,  1905,  and 
was  designed  to  take  the  place  of  the  old  State  Board  of 
Taxation. 

The  report  of  the  State  Board  of  Taxes  and  Assessment 
for  the  year  1915  shows  that  132  railroad  and  canal  com- 
panies within  the  State  are  subject  to  taxation.  These 
companies  represent  more  than  2,400  miles  of  railroads 
and   175   miles  of  canals. 

The  following  table  is  a  summary  of  the  valuation  and 
assessment  of  railroad  and  canal  property  for  the  year 
1915,  subject  to  review  by  the  board,  which  review  was 
in  progress  when  this  article  was  prepared.

GOVERNOR   FIELDER'S  MESSAGE.  597 

Second  Annual  Message  of  James  F.  Fielder, 
Governor  of  New  Jersey. 


State  of  New  Jersey. 

Executive  Department, 

Trenton,  January  11th,  1916. 

Gentlemen  of  the  Senate  and  General  Assembly: 

It  gives  me  considerable  satisfaction  to  be  able  to  inform 
you  that  the  financial  condition  of  the  State  is  better  than 
for  several  years.  At  the  opening  of  the  preceding  session 
of  the  Legislature,  a  State  tax  or  a  bond  issue  was  thought 
imperative  to  raise  the  money  required  to  meet  the  appro- 
priations for  State  Departments  and  institutions  for  the 
fiscal  year  November  1st,  1914,  to  October  31st,  1915,  but  it 
later  became  apparent  that  the  direct  inheritance  tax  act 
of  1914  would  provide  the  necessary  funds.  The  fact  is. 
that  while  no  additional  revenue  was  provided  by  the 
Legislature  of  last  year,  upward  of  two  million  dollars  were 
added  to  the  State's  income  by  the  act  referred  to.  The 
requisition  act  of  1914  also  helped,  in  that  it  gave  the 
State's  financial  officers  a  proper  supervision  and  control 
over  all  expenditures  of  money  and  provided  a  much- 
needed  check  against  the  prevalent  practice  of  incurring 
obligations  in  excess  of  appropriations.  The  latter  act  also 
made  it  possible  for  the  Comptroller  to  keep  account  not 
only  of  disbursements,  but  also  of  the  State's  contractual 
obligations,  so  that  for  the  first  time  within  my  recollection 
of  State  #afiEairs,  the  statement  of  our  financial  condition 
at  the  close  of  a  fiscal  year,  included  among  the  liabilities 
all  items  for  which  the  State  was  bound  on  uncompleted 
contracts,  and  the  statement  to  November  1st,  1915,  there- 
fore shows  exactly  where  we  stand.  The  reports  which 
the  Comptroller  and  Treasurer  will  present  to  you  show 
that  at  the  close  of  our  business  year,  October  31st,  1915, 
with  every  outstanding  obligation  provided  for  and  deducted, 
we  had  an  actual  and  not  a  fictitious  balance  in  the  treasury 
amounting  to  $307,072.10.  This  balance,  though  small,  has 
the  great  merit  of  being  real,  and  we  start  the  new  year 
knowing  that  we  have  money  in  hand.  In  former  years,  the 
statements  of  cash  balances,  besides  taking  no  account  of 
outstanding  contracts,  included  as  much  as  two  and  three- 
quarter  millions  dollars  of  railroad  taxes  belonging  to  mu- 
nicipalities for  their  schools,  but  the  balance  I  have  men- 
tioned does  not  include  one  cent  of  such  taxes. 

Considering  that  the  Legislature  of  last  year  provided 
no  additional  State  revenue  and  was  not  sure  what  the 
State's   income  would  be,   it   showed  wisdom   in   placing  the 


50S  GOVERNOR  FIELDER'S  MESSAGE. 

appropriations  for  the  current  year  at  the  very  lowest 
figure.  Because  that  appropriation  act  has  been  in  force 
but  little  more  than  two  months,  it  may  not  be  possible 
to  say  definitely  at  this  time  whether  the  State  departments 
and  institutions  can  be  run  ten  months  longer  on  the  sums 
allotted  to  them,  but  comparing  the  estimates  of  their  needs 
with  their  appropriations.  I  think  many  have  not  been  given 
sufficient.  For  example,  the  repeated  requests  of  institutions 
for  enlarged  accommodations  with  which  to  meet  the  de- 
mands on  them  cannot  much  longer  be  ignored  ;  more  money 
than  was  made  available  for  the  current  year  is  needed  by 
all  the  new  departments  created  under  the  so-called  Econ- 
omy and  Efficiency  Bills ;  the  State  Board  of  Children's 
Guardians  must  haie  additional  funds  \\ith  which  to  per- 
form the  duties  imposed  upon  it  by  the  widows'  pension 
act ;  new  buildings  must  be  erected  for  the  ever  increasing 
number  of  the  insane ;  the  State  Printing  Board  cannot 
print  the  reports  of  departments  and  commissions  with  the 
money  given  it ;  the  National  Guard  must  have  a  further 
allowance,  or  the  encampment  at  Sea  Girt  will  again  be 
abandoned ;  the  additional  Circuit  Court  Judge  which  the 
Legislature  thought  necessary  must  be  provided  with  a 
salary  or  he  cannot  be  appointed,  and  the  Department  of 
Banking  and  Insurance  requires  a  larger  appropriation  for 
the  prompt  and  efficient  examination  of  the  financial  con- 
dition of  our  Building  and  Loan  Associations.  These  and 
similar  cases  which  I  could  instance,  will.  I  know,  receive 
your  careful  thought.  Our  finances  will  not  permit  us  to 
do  all  we  might  wish,  but  we  must  not  cripple  our  State 
work.  Believing  that  the  sum  realized  last  year  under 
the  direct  inheritance  tax  law  will  be  equaled,  if  not  ex- 
ceeded, this  year,  and  that  the  other  sources  of  State  in- 
come will  show  the  usual  increase,  I  feel  you  can  safely 
grant  many  of  the  requests  which  will  surely  be  presented 
to  you  -for  further  appropriations. 

The  conservation  of  the  State's  natural  resources  deserves 
earnest  consideration.  A  policy  has  been  adopted  for  the 
conservation  of  our  potable  water  supply,  and  plans  are 
now  maturing  which  will  soon  make  an  important  supply 
in  North  Jersey  available  for  the  people  of  that  section. 
The  proposition  to  acquire  a  South  Jersey  tract  of  land, 
kno\\Ti  as  the  Wharton  Tract,  with  its  water  flowage,  was 
submitted  to  the  voters  at  the  last  general  election,  and 
was  rejected.  I  am  satisfied  that  this  result  occurred  be- 
cause little  information  was  in  the  possession  of  any  State 
board  or  department  to  give  to  the  people  to  enable  them 
to  judge  of  the  merits  of  the  proposition.  It  was  defeated 
by  a  majority  of  20,539  out  of  a  total  of  227,451  votes 
cast  for  and  against  it,  while  at  the  same  election  there 
were  415,236  votes  polled  for  candidates  for  office.  That 
is,  nearly  fifty  per  cent,  af  those  who  voted  at  that  election 


GOVERNOR  FIELDER'S  MESSAGE.  599 

refrained  from  voting  on  the  water  proposition,  presumably 
because  they  did  not  understand  it.  The  counties  of  Essex, 
Hudson  and  Passaic,  whose  residents  have  learned  by  experi- 
ence the  importance  of  State  ownership  of  water  supplies, 
gave  a  majority  of  14.817  in  favor  of  the  proposition,  while  in 
all  other  counties  it  was  defeated.  I  believe  that  the  time 
will  come  when  the  ownership  of  water  rights  will  be  of 
vital  importance  to  the  people  of  South  Jersey,  and  that 
we  should  not  wait  until  that  time  to  consider  the  ac- 
quisition of  the  Wharton  Tract.  Only  a  careful  examination 
of  the  property  by  experts  can  produce  the  facts  upon  which 
to  base  an  intelligent  opinion,  and  I  would  prefer  that  those 
facts  be  presented  to  the  Legislature,  where  they  can  be 
examined  and  discussed,  and  where  it  can  be  determined 
whether  or  not  the  proposition  has  sufficient  merit  to  be 
again  submitted  to  the  people  for  their  approval  or  rejection. 
I,  therefore,  recommend  that  you  empower  the  State  Water 
Supply  Commission,  or  the  Department  of  Conservation  and 
Development,  to  make  or  have  made,  an  expert  examination 
of  the  tract  in  question  and  adjoining  tracts,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  determining  whether  any  part  thereof  should  be 
acquired  by  the  State,  and,  if  so.  how  much ;  what  the 
probable  value  thereof  may  be,  and  that  the  report,  with  the 
detailed  information  obtained,  be  made  to  you  or  to  the 
next  Legislature,  for  determination  as  to  whether  the  people 
should  be  asked  to  vote  upon  the  question  of  a  bond  issue 
for  the  purchase  of  such  property  and  water  rights.  Of 
course,  the  direction  to  investigate  should  be  accompanied 
by  an  appropriation  of  sufficient  funds  to  make  the  investi- 
gation thorough. 

A  committee  was  appointed  by  the  last  Legislature  to 
revise  road  legislation  and  to  lay  down  a  road  policy  for 
the  State.  I  hope  its  investigations  will  result  in  a  report 
which  will  form  the  basis  for  intelligent  legislation,  because 
the  most  important  and  difficult  problem  now  pressing  for 
solution  is  the  improvement  and  maintenance  of  our  roads. 
Proper  provision  for  vehicular  transportation  is  of  vital 
moment,  not  only  to  our  business  interests,  but  the  aid  the 
States  should  give  in  preparation  for  National  defense,  in- 
cludes a  system  of  highways  desirable  and  suitable  for 
military  reasons.  The  increasing  and  insistent  demand  for 
good  roads  imposes  upon  the  Legislature  the  duty  of  pro- 
viding them.  A  few  years  ago  pleasure  travel  was  ngt  so 
great,  and  freight,  material  and  commodities  of  all  kind 
were  generally  transported  by  rail  or  water.  We  were  then 
chiefly  concerned  with  the  improvement  of  a  few  main  arteries, 
so  that  the  farmer  and  manufacturer  could  get  their  sup- 
plies and  products  to  and  from  nearby  railroad  or  water 
shipping  points,  or  the  local  markets,  by  wagon,  but  we 
must  now  reckon  with  the  automobile.  We  average  one 
automobile    for    every    thirty-two    of    our    population,    which 


600  GOVERNOR  FIELDER'S  MESSAGE. 

means  about  six  automobiles  to  every  mile  of  our  roads, 
excluding  city  streets.  The  Commissioner  of  Public  Roads, 
in  his  report  for  the  year  recently  closed,  estimates  that 
an  automobile  i:)aying  an  annual  license  fee  of  $7.50  and 
making  6,000  miles  a  year,  damages  the  roads  to  the  extent 
of  .$30  or  $35,  while  the  damage  caused  by  the  ordinary 
two-horse  team  and  wagon  will  not  cost  over  $8  to  replace. 
It  is,  therefore,  evident  that  the  general  use  of  automobiles 
for  pleasure  and  business  purposes  adds  tremendously  to 
the  traffic  burdens  the  roads  must  bear,  and  thus  the  new 
and  difficult  problem  is  presented  to  us.  The  Commissioner 
of  Public  Roads  also  estimates  the  total  mileage  of  the 
State,  I'xclusive  of  streets,  at  15,000,  of  which  10,500  arc 
still  unimproved,  and  he  says  it  will  cost  $51,300,000  to 
properly  improve  the  whole  mileage.  The  State's  share  of 
this  expense  would  be  about  $15,000,000. 

The  annual  appropriations  heretofore  made  have  been  as 
liberal  as  the  financial  condition  of  the  State  would  permit, 
and  it  does  not  seem  possible  to  materially  increase  them. 
Last  year  the  appropriation  to  the  State  Road  Fund  was 
$500,000,  in  addition  to  which  there  was  the  Convict  Labor 
Appropriation  and  the  Motor  Vehicle  Fund,  from  which 
sources  the  State  actually  disbursed,  for  road  construction 
and  repair,  the  sum  of  $1,235,100.23   as  follows  : 

Construction.  Repair. 

State    Road    Fund $301,891   51  

Convict   Labor   Ai)propriation.  .         04,903  90  $17,149  93 

Motor   Vehicle   Fund 851,214   89 

$366,795  41         $868,364  82 

This  does  not  take  into  consideration  all  moneys  expended 
for  salaries  and  for  office  and  clerical  expenses. 

Should  the  counties  be  willing  to  undertake  the  improve- 
ment of  all  their  roads  with  State  aid,  and  should  the 
State  be  able  to  appropriate  $500,000  annually,  thirty  years 
would  elapse  before  all  the  roads  could  be  built,  and  in  the 
meantime  some  of  those  improved  will  have  worn  out  and 
will  require  partial,  if  not  whole,  reconstruction.  It  is 
apparent  that  our  policy  of  road  maintenance  and  construc- 
tion requires  readjustment,  because  we  cannot,  under  the 
plan  now  pursued,  properly  maintain  our  roads  with  the 
added  uses  to  which  they  are  put  and  keep  pace  with  the 
progress  the  State  demands  in  building  new  highways. 
Other  States,  recognizing  the  importance  of  good  roads  in 
the  development  of  the  State's  municipalities  and  industries, 
are  spending  vast  sums  for  this  purpose.  How  then  shall 
we  secure  the  money  the  State  needs?  It  is  not  wise  or 
expedient  to  raise  all  the  money  required  at  once.  The 
counties   could  not   stand   the   strain    and   the   road   depart- 


GOVERNOR  FIELDER'S  MESSAGE  601 

ment  could  not  be  so  organized  as  to  handle  the  vast  amount 
of  work  which  would  follow  an  attempt  to  construct  ten 
thousand  miles  of  road  in  one  or  two  years.  Perhaps 
there  should  be  a  slight  increase  in  automobile  license  fees 
and  a  portion  of  these  fees  devoted  to  construction  work, 
but  it  is  not  just  that  automobile  o\A-ners  should  bear  the 
whole  cost,  because  improved  roads  benefit  the  owners  of 
other  vehicles ;  they  bring  more  buyers  to  the  merchants' 
doors ;  through  them,  property  owners  see  increased  land 
values,  and  nearly  every  individual,  including  non-road  users, 
gets  the  benefit  of  commercial  automobile  travel,  in  quicker 
and  cheaper  transportation  of  commodities.  I  think,  and 
therefore  advise,  that  the  necessarj'  funds  should  be  raised 
by  a  State  tax  laid  specially  for  road  construction  purposes 
and  that  the  work  should  be  spread  over  a  period  of  fifteen 
years,  in  which  event  the  State  would  need  a  million  dollars 
annually — or  over  ten  years,  for  which  a  million  and  a 
half  dollars  would  be  required  each  year.  The  State  Board 
of  Taxes  and  Assessment  has  recently  reported  the  assessed 
valuation  of  the  real  and  personal  property  of  the  State, 
subject  to  local  taxation,  as  $2,583,953,595.29.  To  raise 
a  million  dollars,  a  State  tax  of  less  than  four-tenths  of 
a  mill  would  be  necessary  and  a  tax  oif  less  than  six-tenths 
of  a  mill  would  raise  a  million  and  a  half  dollars.  This 
small  tax,  amounting  to  but  forty  or  sixty  cents  on  each 
thousand  dollars  of  assessed  valuation,  would  not  be  felt, 
and  I  believe  would  be  willingly  paid,  if  it  were  to  be  the 
means   of  securing   a    magnificent   road   system. 

Alignment,  grading  and  guttering  and  the  construction 
of  bridges,  is  work  of  a  permanent  nature,  while  the  foun- 
dation, if  skillfully  and  honestly  laid,  will  last  for  years 
and  will  not  need  frequent  renewal.  Annual  State  appro- 
priations and  the  automobile  license  fees  could  be  wholly 
devoted  to  maintenance  and  resurfacing  work  and  thus 
we  could  keep  our  roads  in  first-class  condition,  but  you 
should  also  provide  for  a  definite  and  comprehensive  sys- 
tem of  road  maintenance  by  patrolling  squads,  not  only 
for  State  highways,  but  for  every  road  which  the  State 
aids  in  maintenance  or  repair.  The  present  method  of 
constructing  a  road  and  then  permitting  it  to  wear  out, 
is  unbusinesslike   and   wasteful   in   the   extreme. 

The  work  of  the  counties  on  road  building  is  also  un- 
businesslike, in  that  it  lacks  uniformity  in  policy  as  to 
the  kind  of  material  used,  the  method  of  construction  and 
failure  in  co-operation  between  counties  in  connecting  up 
highways.  A  policy  adopted  this  year  is  subject  to  altera- 
tion next  year  through  changes  in  the  Board  of  Freeholders. 
The  county  engineering  department  and  road  employees 
change,  too,  with  changes  in  membership  in  their  boards. 
The  counties  are  parts  of  a  great  whole,  separated  only 
by  a  stream,  by  a  road,   or  by   an   imaginary   line,   and   for 


602  GOVEPwNOR  FIELDER'S  MESSAGE. 

the  whole,  a  definite  policy  for  road  construction  should 
be  laid  down  by  you,  to  be  carried  out  under  the  direction 
of  the  State  department,  by  county  engineers,  supervisors 
and  inspectors  who  should  be  experts,  protected  by  tenure 
of  oflBce  and  not  subject  to  every  political  change  that  may 
occur. 

The  development  and  improvement  of  our  public  schools 
is  of  the  utmost  importance.  In  observing  the  direction  of 
the  Constitution  to  provide  for  a  thorough  and  efficient 
system  Oif  free  public  schools  for  the  children  of  our  State, 
you  must  give  thought  to  the  teacher.  New  Jersey  was 
one  of  the  first  States  to  establish  a  normal  school  for 
the  training  of  teachers,  but  the  demands  of  the  schools 
have  outstripped  our  teacher  supply,  and  we  employ  from 
outside  the  State  teachers  almost  equal  in  number  to  those 
who  are  graduates  of  our  normal  schools.  We  are  now 
unable  to  provide  accommodations  for  all  applicants  for 
admission  to  the  normal  schools,  and  our  high  school  grad- 
uates are  rapidly  increasing,  and  I  believe  a  greater  pro- 
portion of  these  graduates  would  become  normal  students, 
and  later  teachers  in  our  schools,  if  we  could  offer  the 
additional  normal  school  facilities  now  denied  them.  I 
recommend  that  you  give  careful  consideration  to  the  de- 
mand which  has  been  voiced  for  another  normal  school  and 
that  the  necessary  appropriation  be  made  therefor. 

The  Legislature  of  1913  made  provision  for  the  promotion 
of  vocational  education,  offering  State  aid  to  those  districts 
desiring  to  establish  and  maintain  this  form  of  instruction, 
but  limiting  the  annual  expenditure  of  State  funds  to 
$80,000.  Largely  as  a  result  of  this  legislation,  more  than 
7,000  persons  were  enrolled  in  vocational  day  and  evening 
classes  during  the  school  year  ending  June  30th,  1915.  Of 
this  number  more  than  1,000  were  boys  and  girls,  and  up- 
wards of  6,000  were  young  men  and  young  women.  The 
popularity  of  this  very  practical  form  of  education  has 
certainly  been  demonstrated,  and  in  a  State  so  conspicuously 
industrial  as  ours  it  seems  fitting  that  this  useful  line 
of  instruction  should  be  properly  encouraged.  To  do  this 
it  will  be  necessary  to  raise  the  limit  of  the  annual  ex- 
penditure fixed  by  the  act  of  1913.  and  I  recommend  that 
it  be  done,  and  that  further  funds  be  provided  to  carry 
on   this   system   of  education   now  so  well   established. 

I  woulid  direct  your  attention  to  what  appears  to  be 
an  unintentional,  or  if  intentional  then  an  improper,  limi- 
tation upon  the  power  of  the  Board  of  Public  Utility  Com- 
missioners to  supervise  and  regulate  rates  or  charges  to 
be  fixed  or  made  by  the  public  utilities  of  our  State.  It 
is  contended  that  under  the  public  utilities  act,  chapter 
195  of  the  laws  of  1911,  the  board  is  without  power  to 
compel  a  common  carrier  to  initiate  a  rate  and  that  its 
jurisdiction  is  limited  to   the   review  of  rates   now   in   exist-

ence,  or  which  may  be  voluntarily  proposed  hy  the  carrier. 
This  point  is  directly  presented  in  proceedings  in  which 
many  South  Jersey  commuters  are  interested,  now  pending 
before  the  board,  to  compel  certain  railroads  to  soli  cer- 
tain forms  of  tickets  for  transportation  to  and  from  their 
Camden  terminals,  similar  in  form  to  those  sold  between 
Philadelphia  and  New  Jersey  stations,  so  that  Camden 
users  of  these  tickets  may  not  be  compelled  to  pay  for 
ferriage  they  do  not  use.  The  question  is  also  interesting 
to  North  Jersey  travelers  who  use  the  Hudson  and  Man- 
hattan Railroad  and  whose  journey  ends  at  Hoboken  or 
Jersey  City,  but  who  are  forced  to  pay  for  transportation 
they  do  not  require  beyond  the  limits  of  the  State.  The 
Tennsylvania  Railroad,  against  which  the  South  Jersey 
commuters  complain,  issues  special  forms  of  tickets,  at 
special  rates,  available  for  transportation  between  Phila- 
delphia and  points  in  New  Jersey,  and  also  issues  such 
tickets  between  Philadelphia  and  other  points  in  Pennsyl- 
vania, but  it  refuses  to  issue  the  same  kind  of  tickets 
between  New  Jersey  intrastate  points.  Thus  this  carrier 
maintains  a  practice  for  interstate  transportation  and  for 
transportation  wholly  within  the  State  of  Pennsylvania, 
which  it  refuses  to  follow  within  the  State  of  New  Jersey, 
thereby  discriminating  against  our  State,  from  which  it 
holds  a  valuable  franchise,  and  it  contends  that  the  board 
created  to  protect  the  rights  of  our  citizens  is  without 
power,  under  our  law,  to  compel  it  to  give  us  the  same 
privileges  the  company  accords  to  citizens  of  our  neighbor- 
ing State.  It  seems  entirely  proper  and  fair  that  the 
board  should  have  the  power  to  inquire  into  the  .iustness 
and  reasonableness  of  this  difference  in  practice,  and  if 
found  unjust,  discriminatory  or  preferential  against  our 
citizens,  to  order  that  the  railroads  sell  us  the  same  form 
of  ticket  they  offer  for  interstate  or  intrastate  travel  and 
fix  the  rate  therefor.  I  therefore  recommend  that  an 
amendment  or  supplement  to  our  public  utility  act  be 
passed,  which  will  vest  in  the  Board  of  Public  Utility 
Commissioners  the  power  to  order  carriers  operating  in 
New  Jersey  to  issue  any  form  of  ticket  the  board  may  deem 
proper  for  intrastate  travel  and  to  fix  the  rate  therefor, 
or  to  require  such  carriers  to  put  into  effect  forms  of 
tickets  and  classifications  of  rates  for  transportation  similar 
to  those  covering  transportation  on  its  lines  between  points 
in  any  other  State,  or  in  interstate  commerce.  I  also 
recommend  that  this  power  be  made  general,  so  that  the 
board  may  not  be  limited  to  the  review  only  of  those 
rates  initiated  by  public  utilities,  but  that  it  be  authorized 
to  fix  and  establish  special  rates  for  services,  when  the 
conditions  may   appear   to  the  board  to  warrant  them. 

Through  previous  messages  your  attention  has  been  called 
to    what    I    believe    to    be    the    sentiment    of   the    people    of 


604  GOVERNOR  FIELDER'S  MESSAGE. 

our  State  in  favor  Oif  a  short,  businesslike  session,  and 
fewer  laws.  Each  Legislature  announces  its  determination 
to  dispose  of  Its  business  speedily,  but  the  regular  session 
of  last  year  consumed  fifteen  weeks,  four  hundred  and 
thirteen  laws  and  six  joint  resolutions  were  enacted,  and  a 
special  session  was  necessary  to  correct  defects  in  the 
act  providing  for  the  submission  of  constitutional  amend- 
ments. I  know  of  no  reason  for  prolonging  this  session, 
and  it  seems  to  me  quite  possible  to  dispose  of  all  necessary 
legislation  in  a  period  of  two  legislative  months.  I  recog- 
nize that  the  time  consumed  by  the  Appropriation  Com- 
mittee in  preparing  the  annual  and  supplemental  appropria- 
tion bills  places  an  obstacle  in  the  way  of  a  short  session. 
Other  legislative  duties  required  of  members  of  this  com- 
mittee interfere  with  and  lengthen  its  hearings,  and  the 
legislative  session  frequently  drags  along  awaiting  the  com- 
pletion of  these  bills,  which,  when  finally  ready,  are  rushed 
through  the  Legislature,  but  few  members  knowing  any- 
thing of  their  contents.  I  suggest,  as  a  plan  for  facilitating 
the  business  Orf  this  committee  and  shortening  the  session, 
that  on  or  about  February  first  you  take  a  recess  of  four 
weeks,  during  which  time  the  Appropriation  Committee  shall 
sit  frequently  and  have  its  bills  ready  when  you  reconvene, 
and  that  after  the  recess  no  more  than  four  weeks  be 
devoted  to  legislation.  This  method  would  give  you  and 
the  public  a  chance  to  examine  the  appropriation  bills  be- 
fore they  are  passed,  it  would  materially  shorten  the  ses- 
sion, and  would  result  in  fewer  laws. 
Respectfully, 

JAMES  F.   FIELDER,

next  day  of  actual  session  of  the  House  thereafter ;  all 
motions  may  be  reconsidered,  by  a  majority  of  the  mem-

yeas  and  nays.
