INCREASE SAYS
A SPECIAL REPORT
"The two supervisors have as nml
39 rural schools respectively. nn.i
each must travel approximately 370
miles In order to visit every school
Some of our schools are situated in
mo mountains, and during part of
the year the roads there are wry
bud; but by traveling early and late
each supervisor ean visit nil nf m
schools in about one month.
I hero has been somo disS!itiaf,.-
tlon with this new law. The prin
cipal objection seemed to be based
upon a misunderstanding ns to tho
need of rural supervision, and a be
lief that the expense Is unnecessary.
Those who have opposed the law have
now ever, composed a very small mi
nority, and as tho benefits of this mm
new system are becoming better un-
aersiood, the . criticisms are rapidly
oocoming loss."

$300 to $550 per year, he states.

years ago are tho rule now, says the

but few of the smaller ones having

GOV. WILSON TO
PROPOSE CHANGE
IN JERSEY LAWS
Studio Up on Corporation Statutes
Willi View of Recommending Some
RudltMil Changes to the Ixgislature
Will Hold Confercnw With Mr.
Bryan Ifolmbly Tomorrow.
Trenton. X. J., Dec. 20. President
elect Wilson poured studiously for
several hours here yesterday over the
corporation laws of New Jersey with
a view to recommending radical
changes in them to the legislature.
Later he listened to a formal ap-'
peal by United States Senator Over
man of North Carolina that Josephus
Daniels, national committeeman from
that state for nearly 20 years, be ap
pointed postmaster general in the
Wilson cabinet. The president-elect
made no comment. He nnnounced
that he would meet William Jennings
Bryan for the first time since the
election on Saturday or Sunday.
The governor's day was concentrat
ed for the most part on the corpora
tion question. Repeated charges were
made during the national campaign
by Theodore Roosevelt ; and Hiram
Johnson that Mr. Wilson had failed
to put into effect any legislation curb
ing trusts chartered as New Jersey
corporations. Mr. Wilson made no
speech in reply but he telegraphed
briefly to Senator O'Gorman of New
York, an answer which was made pub
lic In which he declared that as the
state legislature always had been re
publican in one or both branches, he
had been unable to put forth his
promised program of reform. He
added a'.so that evils complained of
in connection with the trusts were
mostly under federal jurisdiction.
The New Jersey legislature now be
ing democratic in both branches, the
governor started to work in earnest
yesterday to plan reforms, calling to
his aid Edwin Walker, chancellor of
the state, and Judge Bennett Van
Syckcl formerly of the state supreme
court. These men with Governor
Wilson will draft the new legislation.
