Arbor Day May Sixth

Last spring a good many people JAILED
to have knowledge OF Arbor Day because
no proclamation was made by the Gov
ernor as had been the custom. Inc
nroclamation was not made, and will not
be made this year, because the law now
nrovides that in New Jersey the hrst
Friday in May in each year shall be des-
ionated and observed as Arbor Day. The
Observance this year will therefore be on
Nav 9th. and the State Forester urges
that it be made an occasion to emphasize
the special needs of this State with respect
to its forests.
When Nebraska started Arbor Day
hack in the seventies, the school children
nlanted trees and the older people plant
ed trees because the State had few forests,
and trees were needed to protect the
homes against sun and wind, to furnlsh
| lumber and frewood, and TO civlllze the
newly established communities. Ihls
was logical and right, but New Jersey has
never had the same need. We once had
too much forest and still have quite
enough-such as it is. We need shade
trees. of course, and in some localities
NAV we'll have more forests, yet chief
aim should be rather to improve what we
have than to strive for more. The State
is fortunate in having a great area OF
woodland on which are at once the rem-
nants and the germs of valuable forests.
The land that needs to be planted is COM
paratively Insignificant.
New Jerseys problem is forest tires.
Year after year they rayage the WOODS,
destroy the young trees and lmpoverlsn
the soil. These must be stopped or all
hone of better forests be given mp. That
they can be stopped, or at least controlled,
is proved by the experience OF other
nations. The task is no easy one, tor the
whole people must be educated and the
! habits of generations be broken up, yet
the record of the Forest Commission for
the past three years shows a steady pro-
press. Let the children be taught that
/ every forest fire, no matter how slight, is
| harmful because it destroys the young
! trees. and because it robs the soil OF the
food-the d~ecaying leaves, twigs and bits
of bark. upon which the old trees as we'll
as the Young ones live. A fire set thought
Iessly in a dry grass field may, often does,
run into the woods and do great damage.
Let all the people know thu, in no way
can forestry be so advanced as by uphold
| ing and strengthening the forest fire SER
vice which aims to stop these burnings.
/ The State has 200 fre-wardens, it needs
more; it has 800 miles of wide fire lines;
it needs ten times as much; it must above
all have the active support, not merely the
passive good will, of every man, woman
| and child. If Arbor Day shall give this
it will have accomplished as much for
New Jersey as it has for Nebraska, or can
ACCOMPLISH Tor any State.

SchoOl Examination

Dr.. Nathan G. Shaeffer, Superinten-
dent OF Public Instruction i'll Pennsyl-
vania, has come out ~flat-1ootedly against
the examination bug-a-boo of every
public school student. He even went
so far DIS to say iIat lie hoped to see the
DAY when examinations would be abOl
ished. ''Ih3y are" lie said, like
drugs, since they have a primary as veil
as secondary effect in that they cause
depression ii kept up"
DR., Shaeffer is himself Il keen student
and observer. He has proitted by his
years OF experience since his connection
with tile public schools of the State and
he knows whereof lie speaks. But his
opinion in this respect is no the result
OF deductions OH Tile part of one man
alone. There are MANY others Who
think with him, some OF whom have SO
expressed themselves and others Who,
While convinced themselves, are TOO
timid TO take a decided stand in the
matter.
There is little doubt that the exam
nation is i'll many respects a barbraous
institution. Education is, i'll the last

cess of gradual mental Development, a
plan by which each day the mind is
broadened. 70 expect d Child to pass
successfully OIL details which it has used
only as mental food and forgotten Tor
five, six, seven OF nine months seems
lot only unjust but ridiculous. The
consequence Is that as examination time
approaches there is Il examining OF mat
ter into the mind, mental indigestion
ensues and, not infrequently, eve the
brightest students are Injured physically.
In the big world Where results count,
a man is not examined at the end OF
each year as to his work during the past
twelve months. The callbre of his
work and endeayor at the end OF each
day is what counts, and SO it should be
i'll the preparation for this real work.

If the voters of this district are as
anxious for a change as has been shown
in the special elections in Missouri,
Massachusetts and New York last
week there will be a good opportunity
to-efect a Democrat in this district next
fall. 1t has been twenty-eight years
since Thomas M. Ferrel defeated Geo.
M. Robson, and a hickory pole was
raised in Penn's Grove at the corner OF
Main and Penn Streets, with a clam
bake accompaniment. Another gener-
alton of voters as we'll as a hickory pole
have grown since then and to say thatthe
old guard of Democrats are hungry for
clans after such a long fast is stating
it mildly.

NEW YORK cITY,s GROWTH.

The new census shows that New

Of 4,766,sS3, an increase in 10 years
of 1.S2e,6sl, or $751; per cent The
percentage Of increase was greater

whereas 10 the preceding decade it
