MESA'S LAWNS ARE NOT
 ALONG LINES OF BEAUTY
VERY FEW RESIDENTS TAKE PRIDE IN MAKING THEIR
 YARDS BLOSSOMS
An Illustration of What Can Be Done
 In Short Time With No Expense.

Mesa has a good many redeeming features and a good many things that the citizens point to with pride when ever visitors come this way. but the lawns over town is not one of them. This is the more hard to ex- plain when the climate, water and soil are all conducive to the most beauti- ful lawns possible. The whole excuse must be founded upon the one word neglect.
 There are a good many lawns which are deserving of mention, but few of them are built along beautiful lines. Mrs. Jack Stewart has one of the show places of the city, and no resi- dent of the valley takes more pride in roses and flowers than she, and no one has more beautiful flowers than she. Mrs. Joe Peterson's is another yard that is often mentioned, while Mrs. Fanny Dana is known as the lady who specializes on early sweet peas, and she probably has fin CT ones than anyone else in the town.
 However, the best illustration of what can be done with a Mesa lawn is that of Shreeve Peterson's on East First street. MT. Peterson spends a good deal of time on this lawn and he generally has it in good shape and always looking like some one lived at his house. It is an incentive to utl- CTS to build up their yards and beauti- fy them. The contagion may spread in this way. Since Mir. Peterson has beautified his yard, Harry Smith. who has purchased the little home form erly owned by his mother on the Roosevelt road, he has converted il into a beautiful place. He has done this at little expense and he has built it up from a yard worse than none at all Mesa lawns, as d general thing, are pretty much neglected, which is a condition that should not be so. Harry Smith does not have any more time than the laziest man in town. yet he is some day going to have a pretty lawn and it will not cost him much either. Beautiful lawns do more to make a town beautiful than beautiful houses.

School Methods Criticized.

Present methods of instruction in the
public schools were severely criticised and
condemned at the closing sessions of the
Medical Society of New Jersey, at Cape
May.
Assertions were made that the entire
public school curriculum is faulty, child
rem being sent to school at too early an
age and given unnecessary mental train
ing that crowds out all physical training.
So strong was the sentiment against the
present school courses that, following a
plea made by DR.. Alexander Marcy, Jr.,
of Riverton, resolutions were adopted by
the society appointing a committee Of
physicians to inquire into the advisabilitY
of radically changing the courses In the
near future.
In advocating the passage of this reso-
luton, which was brought out through
the discussion of paper by DR.. Joseph
Funks, of Elizabeth, on cat what age
should child be admitted to our public
schoolsT DR.. Marcy declared that, &C.
cording to the present methods of educa-
ton, children are kept In school entirely
too long.
| While the superintendent of schools
realize their courses are too long, the
doctor said, they cannot change them I'M
less public opinion is aroused. He pro-
poses to have the doctors in all states take
up this movement. in which the New Jer-
sey society is the pioneer.
DR.. Funk laid particular emphasis on
the point that the school year is too long
for the children; that they are admitted at
too early an age, and that too much study
retards the child's physical development.
His suggestions included the adoption
of Thomas Martindale's walk" theory by
the older children, under the guidance of
their teacher; the introduction of regu-
lated outdoor games and the denial of ad-
mittance to the schools of children under
z years of age.
In the discussion which was a lengthy
one, agreeing with the principal paper
that the school systems are in urgent need
of revision, DIR. Alexander McAllister, of
Camden, said the present courses for child
rem in the primary grades are worse than
ridiculous. He declared they are cruel,
saying that they violate all the laws of
development.
1.-THE chief work of the primary grades
should be the upbuilding of health and
such. mental studies as may be thought to
be really necessary TO develop the power
of concentration" he continued. ''The
suggestion that the older pupils be taken
on walks in the country is excellent, and
such walks will serve the double purpose
of developing the observing faculties and
the general physique"
DIR. Theodore F. Livengood, of Eliz-
abeth, declared that the chief reasons the
schools are detrimental to the welfare of
the children are because the school systems
are full of politics and because most of the
studies are in the abstract, which does not
appeal to the children, and leaves them
no time for play.

in New court, Essex court, Brick court,
Pump court, Elm court and at the en-
trance to Crown Office row. The whole
operation lasts about ten minutes, and
when 1t is over the warder, who is a
kind of beadle in plain livery, returns
the horn to the buffers pantry. No
body seems 10 take any notice Of the
horn blowing except small boys and
