                  TRIBUTE TO DR. JAMES J. FADULE, JR.

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM J. MARTINI

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 16, 1996

  Mr. MARTINI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a very 
special individual from the Eighth Congressional District of New 
Jersey.
  Dr. James J. Fadule, Jr. has served as superintendent of the Nutley 
Public Schools for the past 18 years and has set the standard for 
pedagogical excellence.
  ``What should I be when I grow up?'' is a question many young people 
ask when they are in school. Dr. Fadule has changed the premise of the 
question by encouraging students to ask ``What should be my work in the 
world?'' This is not a question about a paycheck, but a question about 
life.
  The work of Dr. Fadule's life has been to push students and teachers 
to expand their energies for the sake of achieving something special. 
Work in this intrinsic sense is not what we do for a living but what we 
do with our living.
  Some of life's greatest joys come from the work of one's life. 
Indeed, those who have neglected the joy of work, of a job well done, 
have lost something very meaningful. Thank you, Dr. James Fadule for 
your life's work--I am certain that as you begin your retirement you 
will continue to encourage, teach, and appreciate others in all that 
you do.
