Speaks Fauorably
OF Cifside Schools

A person who has had occasion to
observe more or less closely the work
ings of the Cliffside Park schools ex-
pressed himself the other day as very
favorably impressed in many respects
with them. He spoke of the pleasant
spirit of cooperation which exists in
the teaching staff as we'll as between
them and the pupils. He considered
that the arrangement with Teachers
College whereby student teachers had
been sent to the local schools to prac-
tice teaching under the supervision
of the regular teachers was very
satisfactory one.
The observer referred to said that
if he might be allowed to criticise
slightly it would be to recommend the
introduction of a greater amount Of
music in the schools. He also said
that he believed that more co-opera-
tion on the part Of the public with
the working forces of the schools, and
vice versa, would be beneficial.
Parents and teachers organizations
would be very desirable.

Instructor Jones To
Study At Kineland

Instructor Jones, of Cliffside Park
High School, who is to sever his con-
nection with the borough's school
system this month has been awarded
a generous fellowship at the Vineland
Institution for the feebleminded.
Mr.. Jones, while teaching in the
high school, has been preparing his
thesis on "The psychology of the ex-
ceptional child" It was in connec-
tion with this preparation that Mr..
Jones paid visit to Vineland, and it's
head, DR.. Goddard, and which led to
his decision to devote some months
there for study and research; he will
take charge of some of the work at
Vineland during the summer, and
possibly next year.
Mr.. Jones said that the study of
the psychology of the feeble minded
was becoming increasingly popular
society was awaking to the menace
to itself Of such elements in it's midst
and was protecting itself.
Mr.. Jones expects to leave prob
ably within the month. His depar-
ture will cause great regret to his
many warm friends among the stud
ents, as well as other acquaintance.

Fox, Of Edgewater
Heights, For Ifustee

Among the candidates who have
decided to make the run for election
to the Cliffside Park School Board on
March 81 is Edgar H. Fox, Of Edge
water Heights, brother-in-law of
Major s. Wood McClave.
Mr.. Fox would seem to be an ideal
candidate, being a retired business
man of New York City and South
Norwalk, Conn. Mr.. Fox founded the
Fox Cycle and Hardware CO., Of
South Norwalk, which is the leading
hardware concern in South Norwalk.
He was also junior member of Fox
Bros, New York.
Mr.. Fox was born in New York
City in 1857, of good old New Eng
land ancestry. Later, he removed to
South Norwalk where he was elected
to the city council, in city of 3d.
900 inhabitants. He was urged to
run for reelection, but declined the
honor. He served for seven years in
the list Regiment, N. G., N. *, being
now an active member Of its veteran
association.
The candidate selected Cliffside
Park as his home three years ago
and is citizen and taxpayer, with
property interests also in Connecticut.
The borough is fortunate to have in
prospect the adding of such desir-
able member to it's school board.

nate hosts. The disease is, therefore,
by removing either the
pine trees or the berry bushes.
In common with all other plant
disease this throve under the weather
conditions that obtained last summer
and it is entirely possible that there
are some diseased plants within the
State. Citizens are, therefore, urged
to cooperate in the effort to locate
them by sending to the State Fores-
ter at Trenton, or to the State Plant
Pathologist at New Brunswick, speci-
mems from any white pine trees that
look unhealthy, or that may be sus-
pected Of infection. There is no need
for alarm. The situation in this State
is not serious. If every citizen who
has white pine on his property. es-
pecially those who have planted them
for ornament, will cause an examina-
tion to be made it is possible to avoid
all present danger.
