BOULEVARDS TO JOYLAND
WIIUN the plans jus-t approved by the
Camden City Council are carried out
two great boulevards will run fanii from
the Delaware Urldge terminal te the sen.
The approaches designed under the. super
vision of the Camden City Plan Coimullen
re wholly admirable.
Already n smooth way is open from the
point at wnicli the bridge win drop in
Camden te the magnificent White Norse
pike. The newer boulevard, proposed b
the Plan Commission, will run from the
bridge end te connect with rhe main Stare
reads te Nevv Yerk and the Asbur.v Park
areas. Thus the whole .ler-'.. Coast Pun,
from the Atlantic Highlands te Cape Ma.
will become a sort of Mientiun suburb for
Phlladelphlans nnd the whole eastern section
of Pennsylvania.
New Jersey itself will be bencficd im
mensely through the work of the I'amden
City Plan Commission A wide and orna

Keed effect en the whole neitheni p.irt of
Camden City. And suburban development
will certaiuly.be quickened alen the rout
of a new main highway which will be of
unique service net only te tetiiist- but te
farmers as well.

EDUCATION AND DECENCY?
S
AY that a man is illiterate that is, that
he i unnet lead or write or make
speeches and, in the eyes of n crv large

undesirable. Yet. if thorough training In
schools ti ikI colic .cs is Intruded te make' for
th" higher clllwiisliip. hew Is it that se much
wrong Is done every eluy by clever and p"l
Islied folk in the' 1'nited States'.' "laltt

aie involved in almost every conspicuous

It is geed te hear one authoritative voice

All the time, hewevtr, that prarllc.il joke
was pa'-tug under the eyc.s and through the
hands of millions of persons.
It was eleveji J cars before It was dis

of the cntintiy had become the vehicle of a
pietinc pu..lc that was intended as a sneer
sit the Cevciiimeiit.
Had any shut p-ey ctl Ttensiirv official,

When It was feuml out it was suupnsed,,
