Ground Broken For High School
In Grantwood With Impressive
Ceremonies Last Sunday p. NJ.
Most Important Public Function In Grantwood
For Many Years Attended BY Large Crowd
Stirring Addresses By Prominent Citizens
And School Children Sing Patriotic Airs

An event Of unique interest and
importance to the borough OF Cliif-
side Park occurred on Sunday after
noon last when the members of the
board of education performed the
ceremony of breaking ground for the
new high school. Practically the en-
tire board was present; also a large
representation of citizens.
The honor of turning the first spade
full of earth was fittingly assigned
to the borough's Oldest living resi-
dent, and president of the school
board for twenty years, Mr.. Patrick
Larkin.
Impressive speeches were delivered,
patriotic songs sung by school chill
dren accompanied by the schools fife
and drum corps, and a stirring time
in general enjoyed.
Supervisor w. Irving Bray, in his
remarks, spoke very effectively on
the importance of character building
by the schools, as well as brain and
will training. He considered the new
school play grounds as great auXil
iaries in character development
through their encouraging of com
petitive physical sports. Mr.. Bray
spoke with admirable force, brevity
and aptness. "a splendid speech" was
the verdict of more than one person
present.
Mr.. Lehsten spoke effectively on
education and it's desirability in gen
eral.
Major McClave's speech was filled
with patriotic ardor, and an admoni-
ton to all who had received the great
boon of a free, American education,
to show their gratitude by repaying
their country in loyal and self-sacri-
ficing service.
The Major pointed to China as a
country of between four and five hun
dred million people, which because of
lack of educational development had
been brought to its knees by little
nation like Japan which had taken
up public education.
Mexico, semi-barbarous country
at our southern door, was a deploI-
able example of an uneducated coun-
try where 800 out of every LOCO
couldn't read or write. At this rate,
100000 out of every 100000 were
illiterates.
The United States, the Major said,
was a haven for the people of the
whole earth who were focking here
because they were dissatisfied with
the life in their old homes, or thought
that they could better their condi-
tions in the United States. And they
DID better themselves here. This
was Gods country, and every one who
was here, and was profiting by the
great advantages here, should pledge
themselves to be loyal to it, and tale
out their citizenship papers without
delay, thereby securing the rights and
the boon of citizenship. The United
States had right to expect and de-
mand the devoted support of all able
bodied citizens for it's protection and
defence

Some scenery-Good
and Also Very Bad
Scenery is queer stuff. 1t can be re-
markably good and remarkably bad, not
only in single production but in a single
scene. Take "Pygmalion." for instance.
The setting for the third act reproduces
Shaw's directions almost perfectly:
Mrs. Higgins was brought up on
Morris and Burne-Jones; and her
room, which is very unlike her sons
room In Wimpole street. is not
crowded with furniture and little
tables and knlcknacks. In the middle
OF the room there is big ottoman,
and this and the carpet. the Morris
wallpapers and Morris chintz win
dow curtains and brocade covers of
the ottoman and its cushions, supply
all the ornament and are much too
handsome to be hidden by odds and
ends OF useless things
The room is very pleasing, indeed TO look

ing popularity of the English playwright
Though 1t was a pity that none of the
four plays on view was in his elder vein.
yet even so comparatively recent
piece as 1.-The Doctors Dilemma" which
the Plays and Players revived. gave
pretty strong hints Of how the new and
popular Shaw has changed from the man
who might have said, with Giovannitti:
iing my shaft and my disgust
Against your gospel and your law.
In his personal opinions Shaw is no
less advanced" than of yore. He has
even substituted equality of income for
the comparatively respectable state So
cialism which he preached as Fabian.
But since "Fanny's First Play" his plays
have grown steadily less vehement. less
tconociastic and less pregnant with orig
inal thinking. In place of his old orlgl-
nality of attitude he has gained a mel
lowness toward his fellow man. "Pyg-
malion" is just as much nearer a SYM
thetic treatment of humanity as II Is still
far from what Shaw calls II. "a ro-
nance" Certainly the play at the Broad

and well-read representative of "Pyg-

the idea OF the play from smollett. He
says he found It In the Literary Echo,
hut you can safely put 1t down to his
own honesty and erudition:
Those who have forgotten the de-
tails OF Smollett's "Peregrine Pickle"
may be reminded that In one episode
OF the story the hero, in very much
the same way as the professor In
'Pygmalion," purchases for a small

Encouraged by this and convinced
that the difference between the accent

The picnic held in the Town park
Saturday by the members of the Meth
odist Sunday school was well attended
and the sumptuous dinner, spread by
the ladies, was thoroughly enjoyed by
all. The fact is that there were SO
many good things that the limit to
ones appetite mared to some extent
the pleasure of the occasion. Roast
beef, fried chicken, bread. buns, salad.
cheese, cakes, custards, pies, coffee,
milk, ice cream, watermelon, butter,
jellies, pickles, etc. Wagon sheets
were spread on the ground and snowy
tablecloths over these on which all the
good things were spread. At the first
table were seated the children and
young folks at one end and the bust
ness men, who had to return to their
work, at the other. To see these men
as well a. the fifty or sixty healthy
children make the food disappear would
have given m appetite to the most
confirmed dispeptic. But there were
no dispeptics there and everybody was
jolly and good natured with appetites
that responded splendidly to the occa-
sion. The only fault we find with
picnics in this country is that they are
too far apart
