reclaimed for Christmas buying i'll time
for next years Christmas buying. The
officers elected were seven in number:

Union Hill, financial secretary and treas
urcr. The Board of Directors elected
were Rev. Alfred c. Church, H. f.

that this is the same plan as was used
so successfully by the saloons of West
Hoboken, by which the sum of 100000
was accumulated by depositors in sim

REAL ESTATE NOTES,

The George H. Limbach Realty Com
pany sold to Mr.. +. Pearson the lot ad-
joining his pretty bungalow on Lafayette
avenue, Grantwood. Mr.. Pearson will
grade this lot level with his own grounds
and beautify it. 1t will add good deal
to the appearance in this particular
block
Mr.. William Michaelsen, who pur-
chased the old Buergel home on Grant
avenue through the George H. Limbach
Realty Company, has made his place
one of the most attractive ones in Grant
wood, and has saved no expense in
beautifying the place and improving it.
The family is well pleased and everyone
likes it over here. Mr. Michaelsen is
now enlarging his garage and will add
another runabout for his own con-
venience.
The small stretch from the Junction to
the Smith building, which had not been
provided with a sidewalk, has now been
improved by the George II. Limbach
Realty Company with wooden walk, SO
as to enable their patrons and custom
ers to reach their office without getting
wet feet on rainy days

DIR. BOAS ANSWERED.

The fact that Walter Goemann is
bed-ridden from long illness does not
seem to take anything from his men
tai efficiency. The answer to cir
cular put out by DR.. Boas on the high
school question just before the recent
election, which appears in this issue
of "The Palisadian," is a whitening
rejoinder to a document which had an
ill effect on the issue at stake. The
fact that DR.. Boas tried to ride two
horses is cleverly shown by young
Goemann, because the learned anthro-
pologist says in one breath we must
build a high school, and in another
that we must send our high school
pupils to some other school, clearly
for lack of facilities in Ciiffside Park.
DR.. Boas should not attempt to "blow
hot and blow cold.' CLOSING over his
so-called facts and figures, he is a
friend of the high school one moment,
yet he throws conniption fits at the
mere mention of actually building one.
His idea seems to be that we should
have the high school but must not
spend any money for it. Well, it can't
be done. He argues in favor of i'm
proving the elementary schools, and
wants a high school, but the high
school must take care of itself, that's
all-it's in the way, anyhow. Such
logic from college professor! And
he the greatest authority on all the
living and dead races of mankind!
Doesn't he know that we can't eat the
cake and have it? And that if there
is a demand for an elementary school
improvement of $4,000, and if the
present high school is crowding out
the lower school, that the spending of
$4,000, plus the cost of the lot, will
give US the enlarged elementary
school and the high school in the bar
gain? Doesn't he know this? 1t is
simple subtraction and addition. You
subtract the high school from the ele-
mentary school and spend the $4,000
and you have both the enlarged ele-
mentary school and the high school.
1t is a case of tWeedle dunn and tWee
die dee Simon says thumbs up, or
Simon says thumbs down. You pay
your money, and you take your choice.
Mr.. Goemanns article will repay
reading. 1t is both clean and strong

CLIFFSIDE PARKS SCHOOL
SYSTEM.

The most important thing for the
voters of Cliffside Park to consider in
the renewed fight for a high school
building is that the movers in the
enterprise have as their first aim the
matter of setting up a STANDARD
for general public school system.
This is the key to the situation on the
whole school question. If there is no
standard to work under, there can be
no progress. Cliffside Park does not
court or desire an Indifferent school
system. 1t deserves and should have
the very best.
One of the most significant of all
of the features developed in the cam
paign for this high school proposition
is the feeling that has been uppermost
in the minds of the promoters OF
standardizing the public schools. This
can only be done in a community of
this size by having an up-to-date high
school, around which all the element
ary schools revolve. Given the big
high school, isolated, in we'll
equipped building of it's own; with
all of the facilities of laboratory,
gymnasium and the like, and you have
the most tangible asset of all. This
will bring out all the latent weak
spots of the system from any view
point, and create a demand for their
removal. This turning Of the search
light on the school system and its de-
ficiencies, the results of growth and
inadequate provision from the bor-
ough, ought to result in complete re-
habilitatlon and housecleanlng, not a
compromise and makeshift arrange
ment as is talked of by the opposition
When man has long been in ar
rears of sleep he turns in and restores
his vitality to the last pitch of normal
demands of good health. This is the
situation today in the Cliffside Park
schools. They need to be refreshed
from a long period of depression
They are having the benefit of 9
searching publicity campaign. Ad'
vantage should be taken of the ad'
vancing public sentiment to remove
the little as we'll as the big defects
to cut away the dead wood that has
accumulated from the lukewarm, reti
cent policy of the borough.
There is no use to do little tinker
ing now, and then next year have the
Job to do all over again. Make Il
thorough while at it. That will bt
true economy, and the only economy
in the long run.

saddling future generations with our
debts.
Finally Prof. Boas states that he is
in favor of a gymnasium and audi
torium for the Cliffside school. The
Grantwood school also is without a
gymnasium. 1t seems to me that
every school needs a gymnasium, ire
spective of location. We all agree
that this is necessary, therefore let us
provide for the entire borough. This
is the only way in which sectional feel
ing can be eliminated.
Why is this distinction made in
favor of Cliffside?
Naturally l believe that l am right,
if I am wrong in any point l invite
correction. "Censure me in your wis
dom and awake your senses that you
may the better judge"
Sincerely,

A WAR LECTURE.
DR.. Douglas w. Johnson, of Columbia
University, Tells of the TOpOg-
ranhY of France.

A lecture was given last week at
the Palisade Public School by DR..
johnson, of Columbia University,
which, for uniqueness of interest was
at least different from most lectures
that are delivered on the present great
European war. DR.. johnson is pos
sessed of a wonderfully fluent flow
of language, and described the geo.
logical formations of France in a most
interesting manner, freed from the
dull technical details that usually go
with such a talk, yet he covered all
of the essentials, without losing any
of the values of his subject. Taking
the original geological formation OF
France, he brought it down from the
millions of ages ago to today, and de-
scribed it all in manner that was
almost romantic in interest, and the
whole was accompanied with series
of stereopticon views that impressed
the lecture with double force. DR..
Johnson described the low, flat for
nation of northeastern France and
Belgium, and explained how easy it
was for Germany to rush rapidly, as
she did, with her great armies already
ready for the command of her gen.
erals, through Belgium, because that
country did not offer any kind of phys
ical resistance, owing to its f1atness.
On the east of France were mountains,
and to the southeast, the beginnings
of the series of five or six escarp-
ments that led up to the formation
of the Paris Basin. The Paris Basin,
taking the city of Paris as the center,
was a great saucer-like portion of
France, reaching to the coast on the
west, to the mountains of Spain on
the southwest, and to the first of a
series of five or six escarpments that
lead to the German border on the
southeast. These escarpments are a
series of palisades, running almost
north and south up to northern CEN
trail France, and form in themselves,
natural barricades that are very diff
cult for an army to get over. Citing
Verdun, as an example, the lecturer
said that the Crown Prince of Ger
many had been hammering with a
large army and the heaviest cannon,
yet after nearly five months not a
man had been landed on the top of
the escarpment at Verdun, and he did
not believe there was Likelihood OF
this being done. Of course, DR..
Johnson said, it is not impossible to
pass these escarpments, because there
are passes through which several riv-
ers run; but the passes are all narrow,
and with any kind of defense, it would
be difficult for an invading army to
enter France from that direction. 1t
hecame necessary. therefore. he said,
for Germany to make her attack from
the only possible opening, and that
way led through Belgium. The his
tory of the flying wedge that led up
to the gates of Paris, and the great
battles of the Marne and Aisne Riv-
ers were now matters of history.
Germany had gone into France
through the only way that lay within
her reach, had been halted, pushed
back, and was now at stand still
within the borders of Belgium and
Eastern France. DR.. Johnson did not

THE BOND ISSUE.

If the reason assigned by Free
holder Bender and others as the only
one to be given by the Board OF Free
holders for not advertising the recent
sale of Bergen County bonds in the
sum of $742,000, it does not seem to
be sufficiently sound of to admit OF
acceptance. That is, on the face OF 1t.
1t really makes the taxpayers look
foolish to see thing of this kind
done in what appears to be manner
at least out of the ordinary, If not
irregular. The Freeholders must, or
should, present better reason for
their action than the fact that Its
counsel said it would be legal. Being
merely illegal" does not necessarily
make it right. The whole cruX OF the
situation lies in the fact that the
Freeholders got one bid at par Tor
the bonds and did not attempt to get
other bids which MIGHT HAVE
BEEN ABOVE PAR. Mr.. Bender
says trust company president told
him that they were mighty lucky to
get par" for the bonds. How did the
trust company's president know? Mr..
Bender says the times are bad.
Everybody knows that. But the
times are not so bad but that one
man was found who was willing to
pay par for bonds. How does any one
know that two could not have been
found who would have paid above
par? Mr.. Bender asks, Suppose we
had advertised and only got 81 or 80,
what them" If the bid of the man
who got the bonds at par was sin
cere, it would have stood good at par
Just the same-un -unless-unless-
was understood in the first place that
if he offered par the BID WAS TO
BE THE ONLY ONE. The Board had
the question raised at the meeting
before it voted to sell the bonds to
Grant & Co., that the transaction
should be advertised, but it waved
