CHARMING SUCCESS.

The Mission Dance of the choir girls
of Grace Episcopal, Grand View, Mon
day night, was very happy and sue
cessful affair. The Woman's Guild
were present in body, and by their
presence and assistance, especially in
the matter of refreshments, contri-
buted largely to the pleasure of the
occasion. The rector and organist
and other representatives from Grant
wood and Palisade were present.
A special feature of the evening was
the appearance of Mr.. and Mrs. David
Arthur Carson, of Palisade, whose
consent had been obtained to come and
teach the young people some of the
late dance steps. The drilling of long
rows of brightly dressed young girls,
also those of the more somberly
dressed young men was novel part
of the affair.

VERY SMALL DOGGIE,
MISS "PHYLLIS,
OF CLIFFSIDE.
Little Bit of a Canine With
Much Bark, Plenty of Action
and Lots of FIOHt,

The smallest thing in the borough,
under the designation of "dog," yet
wholly redeeming it's diminutiveness
by a rapidity of attack and retreat,
and an intensity and persistence. of
vocal shrillness-a thing the shape
of good sized sausage, with the
barking apparatus, somewhat over
developed, fastened to the front, and
decorated with two little pointed
pennants of tan silk, generally up
right, is Phyllis. Phyllis lives, and
watches, in Lincoln avenue, in the
very artistic domicile of Mr. Gabriel
Chene and family. She is not over
a foot long, and wears herself pretty
close to the ground, with legs the size
of fingers, and tail which keeps
true with her barking end.
This winer Phyllis is wearing the
latest style Raglan coat and it looks
like very choppy sea of a rich brown
color. She wears it like the Eskimos
do, all over, including her face. Her
fee, however,, are no nearly as shay
gy, and look as though covered with
silk gloves of rich an color.
Phyllis eyes, though black, is full
of fire; and she seems to be happy
when she's using it.

Fourth; Business Policy.
1t is business policy to reserve the
land we already have for future use;
to attract as many High School pupils
from other boroughs as possible. |
believe we should locate the High
School on a site which will add to the
beauty of the building by surround
ng it by suitable grounds. This can
not be done by building an addition
to the Cliffside School, as the ground
available is not large enough. Is it
advisable to build on the playground
of the Cliffside School? By doing
this we will postpone the purchase of
a new school site for five or six years;
when this becomes necessary, will we
be able to secure centrally located
tract of land at the present low price?
The Cliffside proposition does not
make the least provision for the fu-
ture; it only provides for the present
needs; it is based on the idea that
our population will not increase. If
we believe in the future development
of our borough; if we believe that our
population will increase, that our va
cant land will be utilized for building
purposes, vote for Sectional Con-
struction on Central Sitei
Remember next Tuesday night, Jan
uary Goth, you will be called upon to
do your duty; to vote for one propo-
sition and against the other. The de-
cision is in your hands! believe your
verdict will be in favor of the inaugu-
ration of a progressive school policy

Gated man $4,000, difference of $22,-
900.
This difference represents the real
value of an education. Isn't that a
fair estimate?
You are considering now the expe-
diency of a PROPER KIND of aHigh
! School.
Remember that good High School
education is FIRST COUSIN TO A
| COLLEGE DEGREE.
A High School graduate has ire
mendous advantage in the battle of
life because it gives the student a good
foundation-the only kind of PROPER
FOUNDATION.
The school system will take step
backwards if you do not move the
High School forwards.
A State Government would not have
proper operating machinery without a
State Capital.
No educational system can be worth
a hill O. beans without a High School
to guide it.
Your High School is the Capital of
your educational system.
The elementary school pupils are
MADE AMBITIOUS by the hope they
have of reaching the High School.
The High School is the one big in
centive for better work in all direc-
tons.
Instill ambition into any pupil and
you make him better and more eff
cient.
Isn't that the answer? Can you re-
sist the appeal?
Doesn't this bring the thing right
home to you?
Can you dodge the issue?
Isn't this little sermon on common
sense?
Will you resist the APPEAL TO
YOUR REASONS?
Will you throw away the GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY to lift your children
one step higher?

Fancy dancing by the young anC
popular Mrs. Ryan, wife of Mr.. Ryan
Cliffside representative of the Hudson
Observer, was greatly enjoyed. Hel
contribution, too, to the playing or the
dancing was very spirited.
The grand march, under the leader,
ship and direction of Mr.. and Mrs
Carson, in which all there took part
was enjoyed greatly. Other playing
for the dancing was done by Miss EN-
ma L. Cowan and Mr.. Dana, the or
ganist.
For refreshments, cocoa and cake
were served by members of the guild
assisted by choir girls.
Much delight was manifested to-
ward the end of the evening when the
announcement was made that similar
dances would be held every Monday
evening until further notice, from
eight to ten. A nominal charge of ter
cents will be made.

A HEART TO HEART TALK
TO CLLFESLDE PARK PARENTS.

There are only few days before
the election on the New High School
proposition.
Next Tuesday, January 26, is the
day to settle the matter.
The parents of Cliffside Park must
do some very serious thinking before
that time.
What they want now is to consider
facts.
They do not want to be told by any
man, or set of men, VOTE AS WE
TELL YOU.
Anyone who tells you that is put
ting stumbling block in the path of
your children.
What you want to decide is, Do you
believe in the value of education?
If you don't listen to anyone who
tries to pursuade you against the High
School,
The present High School is NOT
REALLY A HIGH SCHOOL because
it is in borrowed, cramped quarters,
and BECAUSE 1T is INSUFFI-
GENT.
1t is better to do away with the
present High School altogether than
have it the half housed affair that it
is.
Success in life may not be because
boy has good education, but edu-
cation has lot to do with it,
The equipment of an education
caused 80 per cent. of the 1886
names in "Who's Who in America" to
be where they are.
And $40 per cent. of these names
have college degrees.
THERE is SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT.
Success didn't just happen to these
people who have made something of
themselves.

tional education computes the average
