Newark be- gan to realize herself, as youth merging into maturity. As the life of American cities is measured, Newark was not very young. Yet she had gone forward rather slowly and conservatively for two hundred years before the impulse to greater attainment and more virile attributes impelled her onward toward the meridian of her present physical stature of 400,000 citizens and a pro- gressive government. During the summer of 1914, when the city was within sight of her 250th birthday, her Mayor, Hon. Jacob Haussling, a man of acute prevision and active political loyalty to the city's welfare, appointed a committee of its lead- ing citizens to undertake the collection of a celebration fund of $250,000.00 by voluntary subscription from the citizens of Newark, of whom 6,000 responded with an astonishing spirit of patriotism. This committee is known as the Committee of One Hundred. Its sub- committees were Executive and Finance; Memorial Building; Manufactures and Trade; Schools and Philanthropy; Monuments and Tablets; Parades and Decorations; Publicity; Historical and Literary; Transportation; Pageantry; Reception and Entertainment; Exhibitions and Athletics; Legislation; Municipal Participation and Church Participation. The membership of the general committee and its sub-committees is in- dicated elsewhere in this manual. The very magnitude of the anniversary plans, their wide scope and variety, is somewhat implied by this array of subsidiary bodies. The inspiration of Newark's celebration has been stated in many graceful essays published in the Newarker since October, 1915, a journal dedicated to its advancement, and published by the Committee of One Hundred under the Editorship of the writer. As succinct as any and as happy as all, is the leader of welcome written by Hon. Franklin Murphy, Former Governor of New Jersey, in the first page of the premier edition of the celebrant Newarker — November, 1915. Governor Murphy wrote: "With this issue. The Newarker occupies, in part at least a new field. It does not entirely desert the old, but its larger part will be devoted to an- other purpose. It will describe as fully and as clearly as it can the work which the Committee of One Hundred is doing to celebrate, in an extensive and elaborate manner, the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the day that Robert Treat and his little band of sturdy men and women from 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey Connecticut landed on tlie banks of the Passaic River and founded the City of Newark. The use of the paper has been borrowed for th's purpose and when this purpose has been accomplished it will be returned to the Library and its gifted Librarian. In the mean time, Mr. Dana will have something to say to his old friends in each issue, and if they miss his gentle touch and his kindly counsel on every page they can feel that the sacrifice they make is for a cause that has his earnest and cordial support. The Newarker then, for a few months, will tell you about Newark and its coming celebration. It will remind you that for two centuries it was content to live its own quiet life, recognizing that its nearness to New York must always keep it more or less provincial and that the interests of the greater city would consign it more or less to the background. It will tell you that a half a century ago it began to have ambitions of its own and started to move from under the shadow of its great neighbor. So far it has done very well. It has now most of the adornment of a great city. Its streets are well paved and well sewered. Its schools greatly enlarged and improved, are among the best. Its beautiful churches are sufficient to give attractive seats to all who would attend. Its superb water supply is not surpassed in quality. It has a public service in light and transportation that is unexcelled. Its public buildings are important and beautiful and if to some its debt may seem small for so great a city, it may be said with confidence that the projects now in sight may be relied upon to remove that cause for criticism. In the variety and extent of its industries it is among the first and its enterprising salesmen make its wares known in every hamlet throughout the land. Newark, thank fortune, is still more or less an old-fashioned city with old- fashioned ways. It has no idle rich. It looks askance at extravagant living. It sneers at ostentation. It goes to church — not as much as it should, but it remembers that it was founded by religious men for religious reasons. And it stands for the moralities in its private and public life. This is the dear old city in which we live and this is the city that will be two hundred and fifty years old next May and that thinks it is entitled to a birthday party. The people have provided the means, not by an appropri- ation from the public treasury, but out of their own pockets, an act that was generous and public spirited, and Mayor Haussling has appointed a com- mittee of one hundred to see the right thing done. The sub-committees have been at work now for many months and the entire program, in its general features, has been decided upon. They are spoken of with more or less full- ness in other columns of this issue. I know the work that has been done and that is being done and I am confident the result will be worthy of the great occasion." 8 Official Guide and Manual MAYORS OF NEWARK William Halsey 1836 Theodore Frelinghuysen 1837 James Miller 1839 Oliver Spencer Halstead 1840 William Wright 1841 Stephen Dod 1844 Isaac Baldwin 1845 Beach Vanderpool 1846 James Miller 1848 James M.

The concessions of the Lord Proprietors of New Jersey, dated February 10th, 1664, offered great inducements to settlers upon the land granted to them by Charles II. The recent union of the rival colonies of Connecticut and New Haven in one province had caused much dissatisfaction in many of the towns of the New Haven Colony. Accordingly, agents were dispatched from the Towns of Guilford, Branford and Milford to view the lands in New Jersey and ascertain the terms of purchase and settlement. Captain Robert Treat, John Curtiss, Jasper Crane and John Treat were the agents appointed for the purpose, and upon their favorable report to the inhabitants of the aforesaid towns, they were sent back to New Jersey and empowered to purchase a tract of land for a township. They selected a tract of land on the Passaic River, described as "lying beyond the marshes, to the north of Elizabethtown." In 1666, they purchased directly from the Indians, with the consent of the Hon. Philip Carteret, governor of the Province, the land which extended to the foot of Watchung Mountain, about seven or eight miles from Pesayak Towne, for 50 double hands of powder, 100 bars of lead, 20 axes, 20 coats, 10 guns, 20 pistols, 10 swords, 10 kettles, 4 blankets, 4 barrels of beer, 2 pairs of breeathes, 50 knives, 20 hoes, 850 fathoms of wampum, 2 ankers of liquor (say 32 gallons) or something equivalent, and 3 troopers' coates, estimated to be of the value of 130 pounds, or $750.00 in United States money. The deed from the Indians, however, was not regularly executed until July 11th, 1667. Eleven years later a second purchase was made, the two purchases covering a tract corresponding very nearly with the present County of Essex. There were about thirty families in the party that made the settlement, and it was agreed that six acres should be allotted to each and that the re- spective locations should be fixed by lot. One exception only was made to this arrangement in favor of Captain Robert Treat, who was to have eight acres to his lot, and be allowed to chose for himself the ground it should occupy. The town was called Milford, as many of the first settlers had come from the Towne of Milford, Conn., but a short time after, upon a formal organi- zation of the town government the name Milford was dropped and Newark was substituted in honor of Rev. Abraham Pierson, the first pastor, who came with the people of Branford and who was ordained in Newark-on-Trent, England. It was originally spelled "New Work" or "New Worke." The money and goods in the company were valued at about $64,000, an average for each of the thirty families of approximately $2,000. The community continued under the township form of government until 1836, but during that time had twice been granted charters of incorporation. In 1713 Queen Anne granted a charter of incorporation, by which Newark was constituted a body politic, and corporate in law. The population at this time was about 300. In 1798 an Act of the Legislature was passed incorporating the inhabitants of the townships throughout the State. By virtue of that act, the people of the township of Newark received a new charter, which took place of the patent granted by Queen Anne in 1713. 10 Official Guide and Manual The population in 1798 was about 2,500. In 1836 Newark was incorporated as a City, in the name of "The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Newark." The City Census, at this time, showed a population of 19,732. In 1857 a new charter was drawn up by a joint committee of citizens and members of the Common Council. This Charter was granted by the Legislature and is the one under which the City still exists. Newark's First School House, Lyons Farms The Memorial Building That something in a permanent form should be erected or established to remind future generations of Newark's 250th anniversary had been a frequent suggestion from the time the thought of the celebration was broached. Mayor Haussling presented the idea of a memorial building to the Committee of One Hundred at its organization meeting. The Committee itself took up the matter at the first opportunity and referred to a special committee of twenty- five the question of recommending what form the permanent memorial should take. The special committee appointed five of its members to analyse and formulate the suggestions that might be received. Each member of the Committee of One Hundred was particularly invited to submit views and the general public was asked through the press to make its sentiments known. Of the many replies received 90 per cent, favored a building as a permanent memorial. The Committee of Five so reported to the Committee of Twenty- five, which in turn reported to the full Committee of One Hundred. That body adopted the report as its own, and instructed a special committee of seven. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 11 headed by Chairman Franklin Murphy, to take the necessary steps to carry out the project. The latter committee prepared a bill, which after amendment was passed at the legislature of 1915 and submitted to the voters of the city November 2, 1915. The law, as adopted by the voters, permits the city to sell bonds to the amount of $1,500,000 to purchase a site and pay for the erection of the per- manent memorial building. No more than $500,000 in bonds can be issued in any one year. The memorial building, it is proposed, shall provide quarters for the Newark Miiseum, whose valuable and rapidly growing collections are crowding the Public Library, shall contain a spacious auditorium for music festivals, conventions and other great public gatherings, shall provide facilities for other public bodies and shall generally serve public uses. Some features that have been proposed by citizens embrace a city uni- versity; public baths and gymnasium, and other features for the free use of all the people. During December the Memorial Building Committee selected a site on the southeast corner of Broad and Camp Streets, opposite Lincoln Park. This committee was composed of ex-Governor Franklin Murphy, chairman; Christian W. Feigenspan, John Cotton Dana, Forrest F. Dryden, Uzal H. McCarter and James R. Nugent. Referring to the decision of the committee, Mr. Murphy, Chairman of the Committee of One Hundred, and of the Memorial Building Committee, said: "The center of the city's population is at the corner of Kinney and Wash- ington streets; the growth of the city is southward and westward. The site is one of great beauty. Its low cost, undoubtedly, had a favorable effect on the Committee, and the construction of a great building on Lincoln Park will hasten the development of all property north to Market Street, and thus increase the revenues of the city I think the matters of convenience and accessibility were perhaps most influential with the committee. If you put a pair of dividers on the map, you will see that the site is as far south of Market Street as the Library is north. It can be reached by all the trolley lines of the city, either directly or with a single transfer." On Friday, Dec. 17th, the action of the committee was unanimously ratified by the Common Council of the city, and this was immediately approved by the Mayor. Of the $1,500,000 of 4>2% bonds authorized for the purchase of a site and erection of a Memorial Building, $500,000 were promptly sold at $107,573, the highest price for which a 4K% municipal bond has been sold hereabout for many years. The entire issue was taken by Remick, Hodges & Co., of New York. The Memorial Building Committee has engaged Warren Powers Laird, professor of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, as consulting architect respecting the designs of the building. Referring to this, Mr. Murphy says: "There will be a preliminary competition confined exclusively to Newark architects. The two most successful in this preliminary work will be invited to present plans in the final competition, which will be participated in by perhaps seven of the chief architects of this country." 12 Official Guide and Manual Work on the design and the building will begin immediately. While it cannot be completed during the year of the celebration, such progress may be made as to indicate to citizens and visitors the substantial character and beauty of this splendid monument of the city's anniversary. The belief that the Committee of One Hundred, in charge of the city's anniversary festivities, is also in charge of the plans for the erection of a Memorial Building, is erroneous. The Committee of One Hundred was appointed by Mayor Jacob Haussling and its official functions cease at the end of the anniversary celebration next autumn. The Memorial Building Committee was appointed by the Common Council of the City of Newark and its work will continue during a period of several years, until the Memorial Building has been erected and dedicated. That the gentlemen on the latter committee are also members of the former has created no legal relationship whatever between them.

Site of present building purchased 1897 for $153,750. Cornerstone laid Jan. 26, 1899; building opened to public March 14, 1901. Cost, including furnishings, heating and lighting, $315,000. Librarian and secretary, John Cotton Dana. Hours, daily 9 A. M. to 9:30 P. M. Sundays and holidays, reading and technical rooms open 2 to 9 P. M.; all other departments closed. Volumes in main library, 227,000; loan circulation in 1915, 1,195,000 volumes. The exterior of the building resembles the Public Library, Boston. The interior is strikingly beautiful. The vestibule in white Italian marble and mosaic, opens into the central rectangular court, with wainscoting of marble, plaster frieze and ceiling decorated in color. The court is open to the sky- light roof, with hall-ways at each floor in the form of arcades surrounding the open centre space. An imposing broad marble stairway rises through the middle of the court. The equipment of the building embraces, in addition to the usual depart- ments and the Museum, a children's room, school department, lecture rooms, art gallery, and science museum. The book stacks are in a detached fire- proof building. The Newark Library is a splendid lesson to everyone who enters its doors. The beautiful marble in the inner court, the woodwork of quartered oak, simply treated, the right use of color, the pottery, bronzes, marbles, and paintings make the interior dignified and artistic. The Library keeps before the people the truest and best in art as a permanent object lesson. The Library has a prominent position in the educational life of the city, with its various lecture rooms for meetings of classes, clubs, educational and philanthropic societies.

THE CELEBRATION IN POSTER ART The Newark Poster as depicted on the front cover of the Manual is the work of Adolph Treidler, of 152 East 36th Street, New York City, winner of the first prize in the competition opened by the Committee of One Hundred to all residents of the United States. The judges who awarded the first and second prizes of $1,000 and $500 respectively were John Cotton Dana, J. H. Bacheller and Frederick J. Keer, of Newark, and Charles Matlack Price and Arthur W. Wiener, of New York City. The special prize of $300 was decided by the vote of visitors to the public exhibition of the designs. The competitors numbered 166, and the designs over 200; and 64 won places in the traveling exhibit. The second prize was won by Helen Dryden, 46 Washington Square, New York City, and the special prize by A. E. Foringer, Grantwood, N. J. The Newark Poster Exhibit closed in the Public Library October 31st and opened at the Anderson Galleries, 40th Street and Madison Avenue, New York City, November 12th, for a private view to editors and art critics. It was opened to the public November 15th and closed, after day and evening sessions, November 21st. Thence it went to Providence, Boston, Paterson, New Brunswick, Trenton, Passaic, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Chicago, where it was on view when the Mamtal went to press. Its further schedule includes large cities all the way to the Pacific Coast. In a critical review of the prize-winning designs, C. Matlack Price, au- thor of "Posters" and one of the judges of the contest, says: "From purely academic points of drawing, the design which won the special prize by public vote would have won the first prize awarded by the judges, if this competition had been one of draughtsmanship rather than poster design. There is too much beautiful allegorical imagery in the stately figure, carrying attributes of industry and standing on a winged wheel of progress. It is a painting in character with such superb murals as the work by E. H. Blashfield in the Essex County Court House — and far more suited to mural decoration than to use as a poster. Its color scheme is as subdued and refined as its drawings — 16 Official Guide and Manual but it is a thing to be seen at close range, as on a program cover. Reduced to the dimensions of a poster stamp, it would fail to attract the necessary amount of attention. As a window "hanger," which is intended for inspection at fairly close range, this design would have made up for its lack of qualities de- sirable in a poster by its strong values of dignity, refinement and beautiful drawing. "The poster which won the first prize might hardly be classed as unequal to the first in this question of drawing and in addition it is rendered in unde- niably admirable poster technique— a drawing as forceful as a poster stamp as it would be if it were reproduced fifty feet high. It is appropriate in two particulars — that it graphically suggests an anniversary, and is confined in its historical reference to the founding of the city of Newark. The masses are splendidly bold, the composition striking and the coloring is brilliant without lack of harmony. Above all it is a poster of dignity — -the figure of Robert Treat looming up in strong and impressive profile against the sky. It is a design which could not fail to arrest attention, and, having done so, to hold it until the story is conveyed. For these reasons it is a good poster — nor could the artist have incorporated in this design any suggestion of the carnival phase of celebration without destroying the dignity of the phase he selected as the keynote. "The design which won the second prize is bright and colorful, with a dis- tinct note of cheerfulness. In it the costumes may be accepted as distinctly those of a masquerade — in fact, as symbolic of the idea of carnival and fes- tivity. The scale of the figures is dangreously small, but the whole design might be analyzed as of an essentially decorative nature — the figures being not a feature, but merely a decorative motive, of symbolic value, and no more a part of the whole design than the lettering."

PRIZE HISTORICAL ESSAY CONTEST An interesting feature of the celebration will be the prize essay contest among the pupils of the public and parochial schools on the founding and history of the city. For this contest, the New York Times, hoping to stimu- late in the future citizens an interest equally as keen as that moving their elders, will award approximately five hundred Tiffany silver medals and five hundred engraved certificates of merit to the pupils in the public and parochial schools who shall write the best compositions on the subject, based upon a series of articles which were published in the New York Times April 24-30 from the pen of J. Wilmer Kennedy, Assistant Superintendent of the Newark City Schools, who has made a special study of the history of the city. The competition has the endorsement of the Newark Board of Education and of the authorities of the parochial schools. Dr. A. B. Poland, City School Superintendent, is arranging to have the preparation of the essays made a part of the regular school work in English composition. The Reverend Father Dillon, Superintendent of the parochial schools, has also warmly endorsed the idea. Full information and details of the competition will appear in The New York Times in due course. 18 Official Guide and Manual WOMEN'S PART IN THE CELEBRATION The Committee of Fifty Mayor Thomas L. Raymond, with his characteristic enthusiasm for Newark's anniversary celebration, adopted the suggestion made to him by Chairman Franklin Murphy of the Committee of One Hundred, and appointed fifty representative women of Newark as a committee to participate in and enliven the social phases of the celebration. This was a wise appointment. The women of Newark can do much to enhance the casual as well as the permanent interest in the anniversary year. They can give tone and color and impart vivacity to its social and ethical aspects. Newark has been socially dormant since the death of that charming chatelaine whose home of a thousand memories is about to be razed to make room for the new Memorial Building. But this is the year of its rejuvenation, and the Committee of Fifty, guided by the rare tact and effective energies of its chairman, Mrs. George Barker, will see to it that Newark, society, in its most democratic sense, will become an animate, a spirited ele- ment in our significant anniversary events. There will be numerous parties at the Music Festival, at the Industrial Ex- position, the Pageant, the Athletic Events, Horse Races, and the world-famed Amateur Athletic Union Championships on September 8th and 9th. Privately every family in the city can enhance the social spirit by enter- taining its friends and going beyond that charmed circle and including its enemies; for is this not a year of bigger and broader social philosophy, of a sounder civic life, a nobler ideal of our city, state and country, and of the flag that dignifies their well-being.'' (The names of the members of the Committee of Fifty will be found else- where, in the official list of committees of the Celebration.) Mrs. Henry H. Dawson thus aptly discusses: Newark Women and the Celebration Spirit When an old colored preacher was asked the secret of the success of his sermons he replied, "First I 'splains, den I 'spounds, and den I puts in de rousements." The Newarker may explain and expound the anniversary pro- gram, but Newark women may arouse enthusiasm so that our celebration will be not a mere succession of events, but a thing of life, aglow with joy and happiness, spontaneously fruitful. To overcome a possible indifference, or a mere passing interest in the event, an inspiration as to its real value will come by attending the Pageant. Let every Newark woman, whether a descendant of the founders or a recent arrival from foreign shores, or an ordinary resident, allow nothing to prevent her from seeing this Play. As the history of our city passes before us in song and pantomine, a strange weird feeling arises and diffuses itself; the sense of individuality is lost for a time, and one becomes absorbed in the com- munity spirit; a civic consciousness awakens; the meaning of the word "Newark" dawns upon one. If thoroughly awakened, the individual realizes a race responsibility, which becomes a permanent possession, sometimes a ruling passion. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 19 After inspiration, what? The training of this desire to help, by proper education. At this point our celebration is teeming with opportunity. Ex- hibits of the various phases of the city's life will crowd around us. We pause, on our 250th birthday, to look up from our regular daily rou- tine, to gaze around about us, and to have our horizons widened. The ordinary woman is interested in her family life, her "charities," her "church work," perhaps her club, or the amusements of a small circle of friends. May she not realize now, that city life is a larger family life, and that she belongs to it? If so, then we must know who are the members of this family. What money is spent in rearing and caring for it? Are the houses sanitary, the streets clean and beautiful? Are Newark's babies properly cared for? What playgrounds are given to the children? What sports and "shows" to the juniors? What art, music, drama, lectures and books are obtainable by the grown-ups? What opportunities offered to the foreign born, to the stranger, to the unfortunate in mind, body or estate? How are private and public in- stitutions co-operating along these lines? What are Newark's products? What should be its next step as a commer- cial city? What is the state of trade and manufacture? How is our school system organized for business, and for teaching? What are the varied activities in our schools? What religious influences are at work in Newark? What moral safe-guarding of youth? The answers to these questions and to many more may ge found in the exhibits. Women should study them, talk about them, take notes and bring reports to their organizations for future discussions. Opportunity is like a revolving door. Let us be careful to slip in at the right moment. Why should not women's church societies choose some phase of city life, and work for its betterment? Revise constitution and by-laws to admit such work if need be. The spirit of the celebration will find a lasting home in such a society, and the civic effort of that society will date from the anniversary year, 1916, a fitting time to add new life. Best of all, the auditorium of the Memorial Building may become not only a Hall for Conventions or for Concerts, but a gathering place for the city family in various groups, where best methods of producing desired results may be considered, and unification of effort be attained, so that we may grow symmetrically. What possibilities lie just ahead of us? There is an old saying, "A chain is no stronger than its weakest link." May we not also say, "A city cannot rise higher than its home life?" If through an enthusiastic participation in the celebration, all Newark women realize the vital connection between the homes of the city and the various phases of city life, the spirit of the celebration will have done its work, and with the effort to give normal home-life to all classes, there will arise a new Newark, full of glorious April promise. "It is not raining rain today, it's raining violets." 20 Official Guide and Manual Helpful aspects of women's club life in Newark are described by Mary Depue Ogden under the head: Women's Activities Improvements in modern life have brought much leisure to women. They no longer are called on to "bake, brew and sew" in addition to rearing large families of children. Though relieved of one line of cares, their hands and brains are no less active. Mental and artistic development, and participation in charitable and sociological work occupy the spare time of the women of Newark, as exem- plified in the activities of their many clubs and social organizations, some of which have been performing their quiet but efficient duties for twenty years or more. The Saturday Club is one of the earliest of these organizations. Its objects are literary and philanthropic, and its members are among the very progressive and intellectual women of the city. This club has given special attention to the George Junior Republic and to welfare work in the Pine Belt of New Jersey. Mrs. James A. Solandt is president of the Saturday Club. The Travelers Club has a history of 25 years, and its membership is con- fined to the Roseville section, where the bi-weekly meetings are held in homes of members. The Club makes detailed study of all parts of the world and its motto is: "Earn thy reward; the gods give naught to sloth." Miss EUastine Seitz is president of the Curtomis Club, which devotes its attention to the study of art, habits and customs in the cities of Europe. In 1916 its theme is South America. The New Jersey Historical Society has a Woman's Branch which takes charge of all social affairs of the Society and collects historical data. The Salamagundi devotes itself to history, book reviews, and higher literary studies. Mrs. William H. Warner is president. Philitscipoma is the name of a club which makes a study of music, litera- ture, and drama. Its president is Mrs. James M. Seymour. One of the most important and enterprising of the women's clubs of Newark is the Contemporary of which Miss Frances Hays is president. This body of women is taking an especially active interest in all phases of Newark's great Celebration. The Forest Hill Reading Club makes a study of the modern drama. There are many other literary and social clubs among women, all of which are doing some specific civic work, and exercising an influence for good in the community. Musical clubs are also numerous. The Lyric Club gives two concerts each season, conducted by Arthur D. Woodruff. The club has a discriminating membership, devoted to the higher musical art. Its president is Mrs. Jay Ten Eyck. The membership is about 1400. The club was organized in 1900. The College Woman's Club, of which Miss Marie Wolfs is president, maintains seven scholarships at Women's Colleges, the money for which is raised by the Club's dramatic and musical entertainments. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 21 The Council of Jewish Women is a branch of the National order of that name. Mrs. Mason Weinburg is president of the local society, which sup- ports a Jewish Neighborhood House with paid workers to look after immi- grant girls. The Society discusses all phases of the Sociological problem, with a view to finding useful and workable solutions. The Personal Service Club aims to help anyone needing aid, whether in its workroom, at No. 159 Kinney Street, or in their homes. The Municipal Art League, of which Mrs. Frances Pell is president, de- votes its attention to all branches of civic betterment. This society is now in process of reorganization on broader and more comprehensive lines. Mrs. James Howard is president of the Ray Palmer Club, which began as the "Chatauqua" in 1888. This Club has a large membership, and is accomplishing much good in civic affairs. The Essex County Teachers' Guild has a membership of over 600, and concerns itself with the general welfare and uplift of the teachers' profession. Another large club is the Irving, which gives special attention to Women's Colleges, registration of births, and public welfare. THE BOY SCOUTS OF NEWARK In the early days of April there was an active campaign for the purpose of putting the Boy Scout movement in Newark on a permanent and busi- nesslike basis, by establishing executive offices in the city and securing the services of a paid executive who will give all his time to the work. If President Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft, David Starr Jordan, Judge Ben Lindsey, Wm. Fellowes Morgan, Major-General Wood, General George W. Wingate, Luther Burbank, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, Dr. G. Ward Crampton, Dr. D. L. Sargent, Mortimer L. Schiff, George W. Perkins, John Finley and dozens of other such men emphatically indorse a thing it must be worth while looking into. What, then, is this thing Boy Scouting.' The Handbook says it is a movement for developing character and eflaciency among adolescent boys. Those who are interested in it like to think it is more than that — that it is a spirit abroad in our nation for the welfare of our boys — a spirit with many man- ifestations. A spirit of service, by clean, manly men for boys who need that service; a spirit of patriotism, for a country which needs to be stirred to patriotism now and again; a spirit of civic help, teaching boys that they are citizens of the Nation, the State, and of no mean city, from their youth up; a spirit of clean living, of health, of the out-of-doors, dowering our boys with that priceless dowry, a love of the fresh, crisp air, of hardihood, of good sportsmanship, of daring, all of which work together to fit our boys for their parts as citizens. Scouting is a jewel of many facets; you can do anything good you please, and call it Scouting, thus attaching to that thing the prestige among boys and men, of the name, the sign and the brown uniform. Both the school and the church can learn valuable lessons from the Boy Scout movement in the matter of teaching. Scoutcraft teaching is practical and useful. It helps one to live, to be happy and to make others happy, and to make one's country "a better place to live in." That is, it makes the boy a good citizen. Here is a list of a few of the things they are taught: — 22 Official Guide and Manual Kinney Building, Broad and INIarket Strecls Headquarters Committee of One Hundred The Prudential Insurance Building — Example of Newark's Industrial Architectural Beauty 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 23 Agriculture, gardening, blacksmithing, carpentry, masonry, business, civics, conservation, cooking, dairying, "first aid," life saving, music, machinery, personal and public health, physical development, swimming, seamanship and pathfinding. There are many other things of the same practical use taught in Scoutcraft, and these things are in the line of real education. They are taught reverence for the good, the true and the beautiful, duty to one's self and others, fidelity to the right and to conscience, loyalty to parents, friends, government and country, courtesy and kindness to everything and everybody, fraternity and love to the whole human family, courage to do right, to face trouble and danger with a smile and a will, and cleanliness of body, mind and soul. PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION AND EXHIBITION The Newark Camera Club, Inc., which is the second oldest Camera Club in the United States, being organized in 1888 and whose object is to promote and cultivate the science of photography, proposes to conduct a Photographic Competition and Exhibition for amateurs who take photographs of the decora- tions of the Celebration. All amateur photographers who visit our city, as well as all amateur photographers residing in Newark are eligible and are cordially invited to enter pictures. The Club believes that during this celebration that among the thousands of people from Newark and those who visit our city there will be many who will record with the camera the Street Parade and Decorations, the Night Illuminations, the beautiful Feigenspan Statue, etc., all of which will be taken from many varying points of vantage, at different times, with different atmospheric conditions. The pictures will be exhibited to the public in the Free Public Library, if available, or some other public building; date to be announced later. The pictures will be judged by a jury of selection which will consist of three competent and disinterested persons, one each to be selected by the Newark Evening News, Sitndai/ Call and Newark Star-Eagle. The club will offer seven beautiful solid gold, silver and bronze medals suitably engraved for the best pictures to be classified as follows: A Gold Medal will be awarded to the best print in the Exhibition. Silver and Bronze Medals will be awarded to the two best prints in each of the following classes: Class A — Street decorations. Class B — Night illuminations. Class C — Feigenspan Statue. Honorable mention in the various classes may be also given at the discre- tion of the Jury of Selection. The awarding of all prizes and honorable men- tions are with the understanding that the winning prints are to become the property of the Club, and may be reproduced for publication and that the club may have the loan of the negatives if necessary for reproduction purposes. Rules for Competition To win a prize a picture must have been exposed by the exhibitor though the developing, printing or enlarging may have been done by others. Small 24 Official Guide and Manual pictures are often more effective if enlarged. Pictures may be of any size; 8 by 10 inches or larger are preferred. They must be mounted, but not framed and have plainly written on back: Title of picture. Name and address of maker. Class to be entered into. The opening date of the competition will be the opening date of the Cele- bration and the closing date will be the closing date of the Celebration. All pictures to be entered in the Competition and Exhibition must be in the hands of the Committee not later than twenty days after the Celebration closes. Not more than five pictures will be accepted from any one exhibitor. No person can win more than one prize in any one class. THE CELEBRATION DECORATIVE SCHEME To a Newark architect, Mr. Jordan Green, was awarded the prize of $500 offered by the Parades and Decoration Committee for the best plan for street decoration for the celebration. The committee unanimously endorsed the selection made by Henry Baechlin and Gilbert C. Higby, the two archi- tects who had been appointed to examine and advise upon the plans sub- mitted. The official Anniversary colors, adopted by the Executive and Fi- nance and the Parades and Decorations Committees, are the orange and black of the University of Princeton, whose first home and inspiration was in Newark. At the intersection of Broad and Market Streets, four ornamental plaster pylons are placed, one at each of the four corners. These pylons are six feet square and twenty-six feet high, and surmounted by a figure seven feet high symbolizing commerce and industry. At the important centers of interest throughout the central part of the city, namely, Washington, Military, and Lincoln Parks, Essex County Court House, Pennsylvania Rail- road Station, etc., forty-eight additional pylons are placed. These pylons are similar to those at the corner of Broad and Market Streets, and are six feet square and twenty-two feet high. The lighting poles along the two main Streets are decorated with bunting, flags, and festoons. The official colors of the celebration, orange and black, give the dominating effects to the color scheme. Electrical streamers and festoons suspended between the lighting poles provide brilliant illumination, completing the decorative scheme and making possible a continuous display. The Architect's Interpretation Mr. Green gives the following interpretation of the decorative scheme: "The general scheme for the decoration of the city provides for the em- bellishment of the two principal streets. Broad and Market Streets, and the buildings fronting thereon. These streets, which are in plan in the form of a cross, intersect at the commercial heart of the city and terminate at their end at points of interest, namely city parks. County House and rail- road stations. At the P. R. R. Station a Court of Welcome is provided, com- prised of an imposing historical monument surrounded by a covered colon- nade. At Lincoln Park a Monumental Court of Honor is planned and the 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 25 intersection of Broad and Market Streets is covered by an impressive dome executed in various colors. The intersecting streets are spanned by appro- priate arches, columns, etc. The street lighting poles along the front are decorated and covered with historical, industrial and commercial flags and banners which are connected by festoons to illuminate at night. Reviewing stands are provided for all needs. Symbolical scuplture is employed and at night the whole decorative scheme is brilliantly illuminated." The Poster Catalogue Owing to their great merit, and the wide attention given to the Newark Anniversary Posters, the Committee of One Hundred has issued an illustrated catalogue of these posters for the benefit of art and print collectors, artists and students in all parts of the country. The catalogue contains a large number of half-tone reproductions, and portraits of the prize winning artists, while the three posters which won the $1,000, $500 and $300 prizes are exquisitely printed in colors. The edition is limited, and copies of it will be in demand by collectors within a short time. Applications for it, if accompanied by payment, will be filled in the order in which they are received. Price, postage paid, in the United States, 25 cents. PROGRAM OF EVENTS May 1. 8 A. M. — Salutes, Music, Church Bells and Factory Whistles. 10 A.

Publication Memorial Volume. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 33 THE PAGEANT AND THE CELEBRATION In making a festival for the two hundred and fifty years of Newark's achievement, it is most reasonable that Newark should take one clear look at the life of these years as they passed by. It is lo make this glimpse the clearer that the pageant is to be produced. After all, the city is not celebrating its mere duration; it is celebrating the growth through that duration, of its community life. The pageant given at Weequahic Park will set forth in broad, graphic action the successive phases of the city's experiences. To the younger generation the study of history in books, especially of local his- tory, is likely to have but a limited significance. Events must b^ seen, historical words must be heard, and the whole must bt suffused with the dramatic feeling which accompanies the crises of the strug- gle, in order that these years may live again in our imaginations. This problem — the problem of making the past speak of itself, potently, in ringing tones, is the problem which the pageant attacks. It goes about this work directly. Have we in the history a time when the Puritan spirit was driven by its own sense of righteousness to this place; when the founders moored their boats and made their bargains . This the time pageant sets before our eyes. The founders, in their character and habit as they lived move and speak, and have their being; the establishment of the town, its consistencies, its prejudices, its ideals — all these things reach the audience of the pageant easily and dii-ectly. The growing feeling of insubordination to the exactions of the proprietors and that greater discontent which followed and which culminated in the stirring scenes of the revolution can be readily portrayed. The growth of the modern city through the less isolated but frequently very important events of the first halt of the Nineteenth Century furnish us, roughly speaking, another act in the drama, and after all it is this sequence of events — this cumulative common experience — that gives motive and mean- ing to our celebration as a whole. So it is most fitting that the pageant should be the first phasi of the cele- bration; and having looked back over its two and a half centuries of life, the city may then turn its attention to its living present and its festival year. Beautiful Scenes of Newark's Pageant {From The NewarJcer) When you come to the pageant you arrive at a hilltop and look down upon a great amphitheatre. It is after sunset and from the hill you catch faint glimpses of the city in the after-glow. Below you in the great natural bowl of the pageant ground you see a ribbon of quiet water reflecting the tops of great trees beyond an open space. This space is the stage proper and the woods constitute the back drop. The lagoon lies where you might expect the footlights to be. On the near side of the water is the orchestra pit and the seating for the chorus, and behind these the great sloping fan-shaped grandstand — a theatre without galleries, open to the sky, where forty thous- and spectators may be easily accommodated, where the ventilation is perfect and barring actual matters of distance, where one seat is about as good as another. 34 Official Guide and Manual You take your seat as the overture begins and as it progresses a mist arises and Veils the stage. It is growing dark. You are conscious of th'.^ great breathing crowd around you but bc-yond the waters, nothing is clearly dis- cernible. Then a moving light on the water catches your eye. It is a lantern carried high aloft and for a moment the darkness is pierced by a ray of light. The lantern is at the masthead of a 16th century caravel which seems to pick its way through the mist. As it passes another light flickers up on shore — a fire, and around it you see vaguely at first a great group of Indians dancing. As the fire grows higher the shadows s.-em to dance above them — tremendous distorted shadows on the wall of mist. The caravel passes. As the music changes the Indian dance changes to a pantomime representing through war and savage heraldry the great legend of the Leni Lenape, the aboriginal In- dians of East Jersey. A second ship passes, and then a third — the Half Moon, and with this and a sudden note of tragedy, the Prologue, a work of action, music and pantomime, is completed. \'ou have seen in a swift pano- rama, the ships of the three great explorers, Cabot, Verrazzano and Hudson; the first fatal encounter between the white man and the Indian on this coast; and the most notable legend of the Indians themselves. At this point the pageant proper begins. The mists have disappeared and the stage lies dark. Another ship appears and on its deck you see a number of figures. As the ship approaches the center of the lagoon the light upon the deck brightens until this group of figures is clearly illuminated, and you see them to be men in the dress of 1666, Puritans. They are holding a conference and now for the first time you hear spoken words, the wonderfully eloquent and characteristic words of the Newark fundamental agreement. Robert Treat, Samuel Swain, and others of the first group of settlers become known to you. The light which had been concentrated upon the deck of the ship now broadens and brightens and the whole stage is seen. The founders make their landing and are met by an angry group of Indians. Their negotiations with the natives promising no result, Robert Treat and some of the others go off with the Indians to consult with Chief Oraton. When they return, Perro and his chiefs come with them. A council is held. With the interpreters the purchase of the site of Newark is definitely arranged. And in this scene of the play you have found out what manner of men the founders were; how they looked and spoke and felt about their settlement and its relations to the Indians and Lord Proprietors. With the coming of the second group of settlers, the men of Branford, begins a scene of a town meeting. You now see Pastor Abraham Pierson, and the venerable Jasper Crane and hear the words of the four texts which were set at the head of the Branford agreement. You see the naming of the new town and the drawing for the home lots and this after, in rapidly succeeding dramatic scenes, the conference on Divident Hill; the surrender and oath of allegiance to the Dutch; the return of the English governor; the demand of Governor Andros and the town's splendid defiant reply; all these quickly moving scenes give place at the end of the first movement of the pageant to a scene within the church, showing more vividly what the precceding scenes have all indicated; that the town and the congregation, the church and the community, were identical. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 35 The pageant now passes over a period of more than sixty years and when the second movement begins you find yourself in the middle of the 18th century. You see the Reverend Aaron Burr and his pupils, the entire student body of the college which was the forerunner of Princeton University. You see these students surrounded by a life of political violence and discontenti flaming out in sudden riot against the exactions of a distant and tyrannica government. You see the most distinguished soldier and citizen of Newark, Colonel Peter Schuyler, gathering round him the Jersey Blues to lead them to the French and Indian War. The general impression of the first scene of the second movement of the pageant is the growing attitude in favor of revolt against injustice culminating in revolution. And now the stage seems to grow deeper and broader as you discern, coming up from a great distance, Washington and his fugitive army in the retreat through Jersey, and following him, the British under Lord Cornwallis. This part of the history is more familiar but not less dramatic and in the third movement we come to matters still nearer to the present day and are concerned with events which accom- panied the growth of Newark from a colonial village to a great manufacturing and commercial city. NEWARK'S SAFE AND SANE FOURTH The Common Council Committee in charge of Fourth of July Celebration will follow the lines of "safe and sane" celebrations held in the city for the last two years.

The judges of the contest were: Josef Stransky, conductor of the New- York Philharmonic Orchestra; Louis Koemmenich, conductor of the New York Oratorio Society, and C. Mortimer Wiske, conductor of the three New Jersey Festivals. All three decided upon the same winners. NEWARK'S INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION As the plans for the Industrial Exposition are developed, it becomes clear that Newark will have an exhibit of its processes and products which will surprise its own people, and be a revelation to the Celebration visitor. The worry is not that Newark will not fill up the exposition, but rather that the exposition space is too small to adequately represent the city. If but a single manufacturer in each line were to exhibit his products properly, there would not be a building in the city large enough to contain the wonder- ful display. It will be necessary to condense many of the leading industries into collective exhibits. From the standpoint of the spectator, this is a gain. The city has over 240 different lines of industry. The architects, Guilbert & Betelle, have conceived a decorative plan, with simplicity for its keynote, that will completely transform the armory, clothing the structure's severity in a fashion splendidly consistent with the nature of the exposition and superbly beautiful. Illusion will enter into the plan, for a dark blue material is to form the ceiling, with the result that by day, with transmitted light, the effect of limitless vertical distance, topped by a cloudy sky, will be secured; and by night, with the electric lights beneath the canopy, the illusion will be even more striking. The internal construction of the armory will be masked with cases of a design in harmony with the general scheme. The supports will be treated to change them into columns of the true exposition type. A simple color scheme of French-gray, white and gold, will form an unobtrusive, and, at the same time, enhancing background for the display of the varied wares Newark has to show. The matter of lighting is to be taken care of by 5,000 40-watt- lights and thirty-two 500-watt lights. The lighting system will be 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 37 indirect. The glare of the lights, equalling the brilliance of midday, will be toned down to a soft glow that will reveal the exhibits at their best. There are three angles from which to view the organization of an expo- sition: the commercial, the decorative or artistic and that of the public. The layout of the armory space is frankly cold. Yet it must be made to satisfy all three requirements. The public needs certain provisions for its safety Seth Boyden Monument, Washington Park, Newark and comfort and it has been possible to make this provision and, at the same time, secure a total available exhibit area 6,000 square feet greater than was ever possible in Madison Square Garden. What will do for Mars won't do for Industry. The platforms and seats as they are seen when Mars holds forth in the l)uilding will have disappeared. 38 Official Guide and Manual The main Hoor will be divided into eiglit Ijlocks, cac-li 100 feet long, with decorative columns, with cornice construction and pergolas, dressed with vines and flowers. The exhibits w'ill in many cases, be machinery in actual operation. Processes the public has perhaps but the slightest knowledge of will be on view. Finished products will be turned out and the management has stated it will permit exhibitors to sell to spectators any products that are in the concern's usual line made in the building. One of the exhibits that will be in actual operation will be an elevator, erected at the Sussex Avenue end. It will be decorative as well as useful, with a handsome ornamental bronze housing. THE NEWARK MUSICIANS' CLUB The musical program, a part of the opening exercises of the Celebration at Proctor's Theatre on the afternoon of May 1st, is furnished by the Newark Musicians' Club. A vocal ensemble of sixteen voices, representing sixteen of Newark's best known singers and just as many of Newark's best known choirs, is under the direction of Frank C. Mindnich, organist and choir director. The singers are: (Sopranos) Ottilie Macdonald, Mrs. Herbert H. Smith, Mrs. George J. Kirwan, Mrs. Inez Allen Potter; (Contraltos) Mary V. Potter, Mrs. George W. Baney, Mrs. Mollie C. Ely, Mrs. Belle T. Sutherland; (Ten- ors) Harry M. Biggin, Ernest H. Burkhardt, Henry Merker, John A. Campbell; (Basses) Millard Roubaud, Elmer E. Ross, Nicholas J. Tynan, Malcolm Corlies. The club is also organizing an orchestra, which will be composed of from fifteen to twenty pieces, under the direction of C. Mortimer Wiske, conduitor of the Newark Music Festival, who is an honorary member of the club. The Newark Musicians' Club, which now has a membership of nearly two hundred, including the most prominent musicians of the city and sub- urbs, since its organization tw-o years ago, has accomplished a great deal in its effort to cultivate a greater desire for good music in Newark. The Newark Music Festival was organized by one of its members and has had the club's entire support from the beginning. The idea of a Municipal Organ Fund also originated in the club, which has already approj)riated over $500 for this pur- pose. The club has also been the means of bringing the local musicians into closer relationship with each other, thus making many worthy enterprises possible. The club is to Ijc congratulated upon the work it is doing on behalf of the city. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 39 HISTORIC PLACES IN AND NEAR NEWARK Academy, Newark.

HOW NEWARK GOT ITS SEAL Newark became a city in 1836, and the Council on June !27 of that year adopted a seal described in a special committee report as follows: "On the right hand is a female figure seated; her right arm resting on the hilt of a sword, her left supporting a scale in equal balance. On tlie left is a female figure in a standing posture sustaining with her right hand the standard and cap of liberty, and her left arm resting on a bundle of rods, holding the olive branch. Between these figures is a shield, on which three ploughs are repre- sented; above is the dexter arm suspending a hammer. Encircling the whole are the letters and figures following: 'Newark City seal. Incorpora- ted 1836.' " The name of the designer is not known, but he borrowed his design largely from that of the seal of the State of New Jersey, made by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere, of Philadelphia, the original of which is in the office of the Secre- tary of State at Trenton. The original committee report on the State seal describes the arms as "three Ploughs in an Escutcheon, the Supporters, Liberty and Ceres, and the Crest, a Horse's Head, these words to be engraved in large letters around the Arms, viz.; 'The Great Seal of the State of New Jersey.' " Comparison of this seal with that of Newark shows in both the figure of Liberty, but in the city emblem, instead of Ceres carrying the horn of plenty it is on the ground at the feet of the figure of Liberty. The three ploughs are in both seals. 48 Official Guide and Manual 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 49 50 Official Guide and Manual NEWARK THE MOTHER OF TOWNS Following are the townships ereated by law out of the territory ineluded in the original settlement of Newark. 1793 — SpringGeld Township created.

Eighty per cent, of all transcontinental freights now pass through the zone of this immense betterment, for which bond issues to the amount of $2,250,000 have thus far been authorized, and $1,670,000 expended upon its initial unit alone. It means in the near future the establishment of one of the world's greatest seaports. The plans call for a series of water channels from the main ship channel and running back into the marsh lands one-half mile to one mile. The piers with the proposed length of 1,200 feet will be the longest on the Eastern seaboard and will accommodate the largest ocean liners now afloat or designed. Newark Department of Docks and Meadows created Jan. 1, 1914. First dredging contract for Port Newark Terminal awarded Feb., 1914, and work begun March 21 the same year.

Feigenspan Illustration on pages 48 and 49 June, the second month of the Celebration, will witness the installation of another monumental work of art to adorn the city. It was a proud day for Newark when Mr. Christian W. Feigenspan announced that he would give the city a bronze replica of the greatest equestrian statue in the world, that of the General Bartolomeo CoUeoni in Venice, by Andrea Verrocchio, the famous Florentine artist. The CoUeoni statue will be placed in Clinton Park, the triangle at Lincoln Park, and now occupied by a fountain. There is only one copy of the statue in bronze, and that is in Paris. Mr. J. Massey Rhind, the sculptor, has been chosen to prepare the work; he also made the equestrian statue of Washington, which stands in Washington Park. Verrocchio died after completing the model of the CoUeoni statue, and left word that his pupil Lorenzo di Credi should cast it in bronze. The Vene- tian authorities, however, determined that one of their own citizens should have the work. Alessandro Leopardi, who had made the sockets for the flagstaff s on the Piazza of San Marco, but who had been expelled from Venice on account of forgery, was recalled and given the casting of the statue. He designed the pedestal which bears his name, and had the effrontery to put his name on the saddle of the horse. Leopardi would never have conceived the statue, and only the ignorant would have given him credit. To Verrocchio alone belongs the honor of this magnificent work. The only other statue in the world that can compare with the CoUeoni is that of Gattamelata by Donatello, which was the first great equestrian mon- ument in bronze, cast in Italy after the Renaissance. Verrocchio was the pupil of Donatello, but he surpassed his master in his study of nature, and as the teacher of Leonardo da Vinci had a strong in- fluence upon the development of Italian art. There has never been an adverse criticism of this magnificent work of art, from the time of its erection in 1493 to the present day. The poise of the statue is perfect, the horse standing firmly tmsupported while his anatomy shows the sculptor's knowledge of his subject. Ruskin wrote of the CoUeoni: "I do not believe there is a more glorious work of sculpture existing in the world than the equestrian statue of Bartolomeo CoUeoni." 54 Official Guide and Manual ORIGIN OF THE CELEBRATION N'jwark's "Big Birtliday Party" liail its inception in tlie early part of 191S, when Jacob Haiissling, the Mayor, in his annual message suggested the celebration. The proposal was received favorably and the necessary bill was .submitted to the Legislature. It was not until the following year, however, that the Legislature passed the Act, known as Chapter 8, Laws of 1914, enabling cities of the state to appropriate money for the purpose of celebrat- ing the 250th anniversary of their settlement. TJnder this Act, the Common Council of the City of Newark, adopted a resolution on April 3rd, authorizing the Mayor to appoint a committee of one hundred residents to prepare the plans and conduct the cele))ration. Mayor Haussling, in July, notified one hundred citizens of their selection to serve on the committee.

Dates back to the fir.st settlement in 1066, when it was "The Training Ground," where the Puritan fathers drilled to resist possible attacks by hostile Indians. About 1800 it was enclosed with a post and rail fence and the town shepherd herded his flocks there. During the Civil War it was a recruiting and drill ground for Union volunteers. W^ashington Park, 3.40 acres, valuation $1,700,000, is notable for the Washington Monument. At the southern end stood the old stone Academy, burned by the British in 1780.

Forest Hill Parkway, reached by Mount Prospect trolley, has some beautiful landscapes. MUNICIPAL SUPERVISION OF SHADE TREES Newark's Shade Tree Commission is composed of three members, resident freeholders, holding office by appointment of the Mayor. They serve without compensation, and are given by statute, "exclusive and absolute control and power" over the shade trees in the streets and parks of the city. In the old days, the shade trees were looked after in a hap-hazard fashion, as it was a case of what was everybody's business was nobody's business. But since it became the specific duty of this body to look after Newark's trees, a decided improvement has been noted, and the city has rapidly become one of the best shaded in the country. The Commission in the spring and fall sets out trees along the city streets in accordance with a well-defined plan, and under two systems known as the "assessment" and the "request" systems. For the first, notices are printed in the newspapers, and a hearing given to the property owners interested. An agreement is reached, and the cost of planting the trees is assessed against the real estate in front of which the trees are set out. The average assessment per tree in 1915 was $4.21, comprising only the actual cost for tree, subsoiling, guard, stakes, and labor. The "request" plan is used where property owners make formal request on the Commission to plant trees adjoining their property, and the expense is paid by bill. The Commission cares for all trees with tenderness and scientific skill. It mulches, trims, sprays, and waters them, and replaces those that die. But the expense of removing the dead tree is charged up to the property owner. The spraying is done systematically, and cocoons, egg-masses and borers are destroyed. The Shade Tree Commission has organized the children into bands of "Tree Protectors," and has led in the activities which developed the spirit and the work of Arbor Day. At the beginning of 1916 there were in Newark 06,000 shade trees, valued at $1,400,000. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 65 NEWARK'S PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM Department of Education, City Hall President — Edgar R.

Newark deserves the title of a philanthropic city. To its credit be it said there are sixty-five private philanthropic organizations in the city besides municipal, county, and state agencies. Miss Katharine Quinn as Paints and Colors in Industrial Dance Among the private charities premiership must be given to the Newark Female Charitable Society, an organization that is still virile and influential though it has celebrated some time since its One Hundredth Birthday. This organization held its first meeting January 31st, 1803. Among its workers now are descendants of those who originally gave of their time and means in forwarding its work. The Newark Orphan Asylum was organized in 1848 and the Protestant Foster Home in the same year. The Crazy Jane Society was organized in 1850 and St. Mary's Orphan Aslyum in 1853. From the 70 Official Guide and Manual standpoint of modernness and the social value of the work is the Division of Child Hygiene of the Newark Board of Health. This agency is only three years old but is doing a work of significance and of great social value to the city. Newark has 14 hospitals and institutions for the sick and ailing. These include the Babies' Hospital, Beth Israel, City Hospital (maintained by the city), German Hospital, the Hospital for Women and Children, St. Barna- bas', St. James', St. Michael's, The Presbyterian Hospital, The Home (it is a hospital) for Crippled Children, The Home for Incurables and Hospital, Homeopathic Hospital, Eye and Ear Infirmary, Tuberculosis Hospital at Verona (maintained by the city). In addition to the above, there are the county institutions giving treatment to those suffering from contagious diseases and to advanced tuberculosis. There is also the State Hospital for incipient tuberculosis at Glen Gardner. To provide nursing for the sick, there is the Visiting Nurse Association with headquarters at 16 Camp Street. The Anti-Tuberculosis Association, of which Francis J. Swayze is President, which does a follow-up work of pre- vention and education in tuberculous cases. The city spent last year on its medical charities over $325,000. 'Little Island," near Boulder Bridge, Branch Brook Park For befriending needy families in their homes there are 9 societies in New- ark. These include the Bureau of Associated Charities, the Female Charita- ble Society, the Crazy Jane Society, The Hebrew Benevolent Society, the Hebrew Ladies' Sewing Circle, Hebrew Ladies' Immediate Relief Society, the West Side Ladies' Relief Society, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul with its many branches, and the Poor and Alms Department of the city. To these agencies may be added the New Jersey Legal Aid Society, of which Mayor Raymond is President, which furnishes free legal advice and a poor man's lawyer; also the Needlework Guild which supplies free garments to institutions and individuals. The 7 day nurseries may be grouped here: 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 71 Thos. C. B. Treat, Descendant of Robert Treat in Pageant Costume The Crazy Jane Society Nursery in the Female Charitable Society Building, the East Side Day Nursery, the Day Nursery of the 8th Avenue Baby Shelter, the Burke Memorial Day Nursery in the Branch Brook section, the Sarah Ward Memorial Day Nursery, the Day Nursery connected with the Jewish Sisterhood, 17th Avenue and Livingston St., and the Holy Angels' Day Nursery recently organized by the Catholic women of St. Rose of Lima's Church. 72 Official Guide and Manual For the relief of homeless, needy and delinquent children, Newark has made ample provision. There are 8 institutions for the continuous care, day and night, of children, besides two Children's Aid organizations, one Protestant and one Catholic, for the general care and protection of children. Among the institutions are the 8th Avenue Baby Shelter and Day Nursery, the Protestant Foster Home, the Protestant Orphan Asylum, the Home for the Friendless, the Newark Orphan Asylum, St. Mary's Orphan Asylum, St. Peter's, and the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. The children's societies are the Children's Aid and S. P. C. C, 249 Mulberry Street, an active, vigorous, or- ganization that has revived and broadened its work, and the Catholic Chil- dren's Aid Society, located in the Social Service Building, 13 Central Avenue, which represents an advanced work among Catholics looking to the protec- tion and the home-care of neglected Catholic children in the diocese. The institutions and societies for the care of children expended about $150,000 during the last report year. Provision is made for the homeless in two industrial lodging houses, the J. Clement French Industrial Home at 51 Plane Street, and the Rescue Home at 15 Spring Street. The Salvation Army maintains an industrial building at 405 N. J. R. R. Avenue in which rescue work is done for men. These men are employed driving salvage wagons which collect the cast-off material from the citizens and in sorting and baling this material. Much valuable rescue work has been done in connection with this institution under the present de- voted Salvation Army officer. For homeless women, besides the Rescue Home, there is the Sophia Cory T/odging House for Women, 108 Quitman Street, a private philanthropy recently started with money left by the one for whom it is named. Provision for the homeless aged is made by the City of Newark at is newt Almshouse. The term "Almshouse" is to be dropped and the new institution is to be called Newark's Home for the Aged. This building is at Ivy Hill, splendidly located for the health and happiness of these old people. The private homes are the Baptist Home, Bethany Home, Job Haines' Home, The Protestant Home for Respectable Aged Women, the Gottfried Krueger Greisen- heim (now practically a private Home maintained entirely by Judge Krueger), Daughters of Israel Home for the Aged, 54-60 Sterling Street, and the Colored Home for the Aged in Irvington. This is the only colored Home in Northern New Jersey. For the protection of wayward girls, private philanthropy maintains a Christian Refuge at 107 Mechanic Street and the Florence Crittenton Home on Mt. Pleasant Avenue, one of a chain of Homes maintained by the Florence Crittenton League throughout the United States. In the Newark schools are maintained special classes for sub-normal and defective children. These include classes for the blind, for the deaf-mute, and for the feeble minded. In Newark is the headquarters of the State Com- mission for the Blind, a Commission that maintains a census of the blind of 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 73 2.W/^AN 4'IVERSARY CELEBRAyipN ^1666 I9I6 NEWARK-NEW JERSEY MAY'OCTOBER « 1916 A Newark Poster.

Among the social betterment agencies, the last of the group, may be includ- ed the Silver Lake Welfare Association, operating in the northern end of the city, also the Public Welfare Committee which has done signal service in arousing interest in civic welfare. Through these private and public philanthropic agencies is spent each year a total of nearly $2,000,000; on the private charities alone more than $900,000. The logic of the situation requires a central organization which shall study the city problem as a whole and shall operate to the end of bringing system and method into the activities of these charities and in increasing co-opera- tion so that they may accomplish definite ends. The Bureau of Associated Charities performs this function for the city. It is one of a chain of 240 similar _ before: THE MMlNOldF.

Regardless of its personnel, the possession of such an organization and the degree of adequacy with which it is supported is a pretty fair index of the intelligence with which a city is meeting its problem of poverty. The Bureau has the function of "organizing" the private charity of the community and of giving purpose and method to individual charity. 250th Anniversary, Newark, New Jersey 75 HOSPITALS Homeopathic Hospital for Essex County. 133-137 Littleton Avenue.

NEW JERSEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY The New Jersey Historical Society was organized in the City Hall, Trenton, on February 27, 1845. There had been held a previous meeting in Trenton on January 13th, attended, because of a severe snow storm, by but a small group of men who did little more than appoint a committee to draft the in- struments of organization. At the February meeting a constitution and by- laws were adopted. New Jersey Historical Society Building On May 7, 1845, according to a resolution of the February meeting, the roll of charter members was closed with a membership of 88, of which number 26 were residents of Newark. Sons and grandsons of the founders of the Historical Society are present members of the organization, and some are members of the Committee of One Hundred on the 250th Anniversary of Newark.

NEWARK'S WATER SUPPLY The drinking water supplied to Newark's inhabitants by the city from its own plants is of ideal purity. It was so pronounced as long ago as George Washington's administration by experts appointed by Alexander Hamilton. It comes more than thirty miles through pipes from the everlasting hills of the Pequannock region in Morris, Passaic and Sussex counties. To safe- guard the absolute purity of the supply whole villages have been obliterated, and fertile valleys turned into lakes. The City of Newark is the largest land- owner in New Jersey. Its holdings of realty in the Pequannock watershed, about 25,000 acres, surpass in area the forest reserve of the State. Until the beginning of the 18th century Newark was supplied with water from springs and wells. In 1799 the Legislature chartered the Newark Acque- duct Company, which built the first reservoir on Orange Street, above High. Wooden pipes and even hollowed logs were used. Workmen in recent years have unearthed some of these primitive conduits. The water came from Branch Brook. In 1865 a reservoir and pumping station were established on the Passaic River above Belleville. This plant was abandoned nearly 30 years later on account of the pollution of the river, and in 1892 the first water from the Pequannock region was turned on.

The running track, which is expected by officials to be the fastest in the country was laid out by Frederick W. Rubien, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U., and the construction has been under the supervision of Mr. Rubien and other officials of the Union, with W. H. ("Sparrow") Robertson, an in- ternational authority on athletic tracks and fields, in immediate charge of the work. As the meeting in September, which will bring together the best athletes in the country, will be the first to be held in the immediate vicinity of New York since the meet of 1908 at Travers Island, and as the people of Newark were anxious to have it the best ever held, neither effort nor expense has been spared to make the track the finest and fastest ever constructed. Flag Drill, Public School Girls New Track Records Expected Mr. Robertson believes this result has been achieved, and his opinion on such matters is generally accepted as athletic gospel. He said: "I thought the track I built for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at Cambridge in 1914 was the best ever constructed and the fastest I had ever seen. Now I am confident this Newark track will be faster by fractions of a second on the straightaway and by a full second on the full quarter- mile oval 132 Official Guide and Manual course, and look for the creation of new world's records there if next year's atheletes improve relatively with their gradual improvement from year to year. As athletes improve somewhat faster than methods of construction of the tracks they run over, I have every reason for believing that we shall see such phenomenal performances on the new cinder path as will add credit to the 250th birthday celebration of Newark, in which athletic sports will be a conspicuous feature." Straightaway 24 Feet Wide Reasons for Mr. Robertson's belief that the track is athletically perfect are based on refinements of track construction which have been applied in the building of this one. Both the track itself and the straightaway are twenty- four feet wide through their whole extent, with a slight elevation on the two turns, reaching a maximum of a foot at the outer edge. This will give ample room for six hurdle lanes, two more than on the customary tracks. This grade on the turns is such as will enable an athlete to take them at the top of his speed if he so desires. The track is built on a uniform bed, with a slope of one inch in nine feet from either edge to the coarse rubble and cinder drain, six feet wide and about eight inches in depth at its exact centre. Above this is placed a six-inch bed of coarse cinders, topped by a bed two inches in thickness of three-fourths- inch mesh screened cinders — the top dressing of ordinary tracks. Above this is spread a final dressing of steam boiler cinders and clay, in equal parts, screened through a five-sixteenths-inch mesh, which Mr. Robertson says, is the finest pulverized top dressing ever used on a running track. This com- bination is expected to give unusual resiliency and that perfect "springiness" the athlete is always looking for.

In the Days of Robert Treat The first settlers of Newark would fail to recognize the "old town" if they could see it today. But one of the problems with which they contended still remains with us — tlie problem of food. And the one food upon which they de- pended is still our mainstay — that food is bread. Good bread is the most whole- s ome and nou rishing food you can provide. Eat plenty of pure bread — the kind that's made with :john Dough Iodised on jeiscnmann's^ FLEISCHMANN'Si YEAST Fieischmann's Yeast FLEISCHMANN'S YEAST As a shining example of what merit in the matter of superior quality and reliability of service and perseverance will accomplish, the Fleischmann Co. can point with pride to the business they are now doing in connection with their headquarters in this section located in their beautiful building at 174 William Street, which building is an ornament to that section of the city. This branch was started about fifty years ago with one employe, Mr. Solomon DeJonge who, at the beginning, carried his goods around to the bakers and grocers in a basket. As the business expanded, more salesmen were added to the list and additional carts brought into service. These carts were later on replaced with four-wheeled wagons of larger carrying capacity, and now in order to enable their salesmen to reach the trade in the quickest time, the more modern vehicle — the automobile — is used as a conveyance. The Company now employs eight salesmen in Newark who supply the trade daily in Newark, Harrison, Kearny, Arlington, Belleville, the Oranges, Maplewood, Irvington, Califon, Liberty Corners, Middle Valley and Plucka- min, besides having resident agents in Morristown, Montclair, Plainfield and Summit who also use automobiles to supply the trade in the territory tributary to their respective agencies. Mr. William Brueckmann is the manager of the local branch. He is a good fellow, very popular with the trade and is always "on the job." tea- UPTON thats only half a word— the other half is We grow it, we blend it, we pack it, five kinds to meet varying tea tastes.
