Education Compared
To The Measles

Education, like the measels. is
contagious" " is the way State Com
missioner of Education c. n. Ken
dali put the subject Of community
responsibility for good schools to
a big audience at the recent open
ing OF the fine, modern schoolhouse
at Hampton. Several communities
have opposed the state depart
ment S heroic methods of procuring
better school facilities in the rural
districts, and the commissioner
took the opportunity to preach his
hearers a little sermon to the effect
that the success of any public in
stitution Of learning does not rest
entirely with the teachers and the
school board.
"A good schoolhouse does not
necessarily make a fine school, - he
said. A good schoolhouse may have
a ventilating system, proper heat
ing, good light, fine seats, etc, but
a good school is made by the atti-
tude OF the men and women of the
community, and especially the at
tltude Of the fathers and mothers
III relation to the school. The pub
lie schools have done much, but
cannot do everything for the young
people. There are others who
share with the teachers in the wei
fare of the pupils. No parent can
escape his or her obligation; the re-
sponsibility rests principally upon
the home. Too many parents feel
that the whole thing can be hand
ed over to the teachers.
Touching on the new field Of
practical trades and agricultural
education in the public schools, he
said: "No school in New Jersey is
worthy its name unless it trains the
boys and girls how to work unless
it trains them into a seriousness of
life. | hope as time goes on that
you may develop right here on this
magnificent hill courses in indus
trial education and courses in ag-
riculture, so that these boys and
girls, as a result of their school life,
shall see that right here in Hunter
don county is the finest place on
earth for them to live. We espec.
tally need farming courses i'll our
schools. One Of the most essential
things in our American life today
is to teach our boys to make proper
use of the land. -

An Argument For
Vocational Schools

There are two million children,
between the ages of fourteen and
sixteen, out of school in this coun-
try. Recent Investigations indi-
cate that not more than half of
these are at work at any one time,
or were forced to leave school
through economic pressure. The
other half are idle. Practically all
left school because the schools did
not hold their interest. School has
become distasteful to them and
their parents had tired Of insisting
on their attendance.

Colleges F'lougiahing

Reports from the large colleges
and universities show very large
enrolment Of new students and
the number is increasing each year
All the state institutions are said
to be crowded, and the entrance re,
quirements are being advanced i'll
the hope of checking the flow of
young men who are demanding OPP
portunities for higher education,
the need Of which is more generally
recognized today than ever before.
1t is probable that the increase
in the number of students more
than keeps pace with the growth Of
population, but this may be eX-
planned in many ways. The coun-
try is growing richer, the young
men are becoming more ambitious,
but the real reason for the increase
in the students is that the colleges
and universities have greatly wild
ened their field Not so many years
ago the majority of young men
seeking higher education had i'll
mind following the law, medicine
or the ministry as a profession and
the colleges catered TO their wants
the courses being limited, the class
ical predominating, with a social
ed scientific course which was sub
ordinate and secondary.
All this has changed. 1t is not
an important college that does not
have half a dozen courses, that is
without technical department,
and in most of them, even in those
where the classical studies formerly
held undisputed leadership, the
number Of technical students far
exceeds the classical.
Many young men ambitious for
business careers now go to colleges.
The modern institution is trying to
meet the demands of modern life.
Beautiful specimens Of the clos
ed gentian have been found during
the past week in woods near town.
The blossoms shade from light blue
to purple loveliness and fully re-
pay the nature lover for a long
ramble in search of its hiding place
It's haunts are moist shaded places.
The plant is a vigorous one, with
stout stems and leaves that bronze /
as the days advance. The blossoms
are firmly closed as though to pro-
tect the delicate reproductive or
