our children than the state compels us
to. Most of US do have, and it is the
aim of the Parent Teacher Associa-
ton to see that all parents appreciate
more fully this great responsibility.
Let us get into closer fellowship
with the school life of our community
Let us become better acquainted with
these people who have such share in
our great work ard who are doing so
much for our community. That is the
chief object of the Parent Teacher As
sociation to get these workers-the
parents and teachers-together, that
their aims may be directed toward the
same ends.
Not enough of the parents have full
ly realized what this association may
mean to them. Everyone who has
child either in the school at present,
or one who will enter later on, should
feel it duty to become a part of this
organization and thus get better ac-
quainted with the school, this factor
which has such a powerful influence
upon all our homes.
Not only parents, but all others who
are interested in child welfare, or pub
lie good have place in the associa-
ton.
1t is hoped a good audience will be
in the auditorium to hear Mr.. Richie
evening, and let us go with
the determination to willingly help in
any movement for the advantage of
the children.

Observation-Disclosures.

AT the residence of her parents, DR..
and Mrs. George w. VanDerveer, at six
CLOCK last evening, Miss Gladys Marie
VanDerveer was married to Alexander
r. Gallenkamp, of Orange. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. J. F.
Bornhold, pastor of the German
Lutheran church at Hainesport. Waldo
mar l.. Gallenkamp, of Scranton, Pa,
was best man. Miss Anna Harris, OF
Mount Holly, was the maid OF honor.
Miss Ruth Gallenkamp, of Scranton,
and Miss Lydia Evans, of Mount Holly,
were bridesmaids. DR.. Warren A. Van
Derveer, brother of the bride, and For
rest c. Noble, of Orange, were ushers.
The wedding was witnessed by a few
friends. 1t had been intended to have o
more elaborate wedding, with a recep
ton, but the death of the father OF the
groom, which occurred in December,
caused this portion of the ceremony II
be omitted. The father of the groom
was minister of the German Lutheran
denomination.

o. K. for Collarless Kids.

You don't have to wear a collar to
school in New Jersey if you don't want
to. Nobody supposed you did have to
until Van Lear and Robertson Turner
aged respectively ten and thirteen years,
were shooed home by their teacher, Miss
Sarah M. Rogers, when they brought
bushes to the visages of MerchantvilIe
folk by going collarless to class last Sep
TENDER. The State Board Of Education
has just decided that collarless young
sters are not necessarily social outcasts.
1t was hot that September day. But
the battle which ragged over the question
of V-necks in Merchantville reached a
hotter point than mere weather elements
could hope to attain. Four days, while
the mercury melted round the 100 mark
the Turner boys turned their blouse
necks in and tried to go to school. Four
times they were sent home by their out
ragged instructors. When the weather
moderated, they put on their collars
again and were admitted to class. But
the battle did not moderate with the
weather.
Frank V. L. Turner, the collarless
boys father, took the case to an attor
ney, who took it to the local school au-
thorities. They upheld the teacher.
The attorney took the case next to the
State School Commissioner. He upheld
the teacher. So the attorney took the
case to the State Board of Education,
which turned down the lesser school
authorities, as we'll as the collars, but
advised everyone, in effect, to keep their
shirts on.
Had the boys appeared in school
without shirts, it would perhaps have
met the exigencies of the hot weather,
but would have been subversive of
school discipline" the State Board de
cided, ''but to say that they should not
come to school collarless is an unreason-
able and unwaranted exercise of power
by the teacher.
1T is farcical to bring such petty
matters into court'-where the boy
father had threatened to take the affaiI
land drag them through appeals at
the expense of all concerned. Moreover,
it is humiliating to have such cases
featured in the daily press and our
school system turned into laughing
stock. "
Mrs. Turner, mother of the boys, and
the person primarily responsible for the
turning in of the collars, laughed when
asked her opinion of the state boards
decision. "Of course I'm glad we won, y
she said, ''for the whole thing seemed
too ridiculous to waste time over, except
as matter of principle The point was
that the local authorities believed they
must uphold the teacher, right or wrong
1t seems to me they went little too fa
in trying to uphold such silly order.

Parent-Teacher Association

This week on Thursday evening,
February 10th, at 7.45 o'clock, the
regular monthly meeting of the Par
ent-Teacher Association will be held
in the high school auditorium.
A program of especial interest has
been prepared. There will be some
pleasing features by the pupils of the
school, which are always a source of
interest and joy to the parents. There
will also be vocal solo by Mr.. Bar
nard of Browns Mills, who has been
winning applause in many nearby
audiences this winter, but who will be
heard for the first time in Mount Hol-
ly next Thursday evening.
The chief feature of the evening,
however, will be an address by Will
liam H. Richie, of Moorestown, a
landscape gardener and teacher in
Drexel Institute.
The surprising success with the
fruit, vegetable and flower show that
we held last October proved beyond
doubt that the boys and girls are in
terested in growing things from the
soil.
1t is felt that with the proper slim
illus interest can be aroused so that
much land around the town that is not
performing any service at present
could be delight to some boy or girl,
benefit to the family table and an
improvement upon the appearance OF
the town. If there is an exhibition
next fall the children may be able to
show products of their own efforts.
Who knows but Mount Holly market
of garden produce may not be the re-
suit.
The place to stimulate interest in
this or any other movement for the
advancement of the common good Of
| our children is in our common prop
erty the school building.
AS parents the people should get al
near to the school life of children al
possible. School was not intended t.
be a distinct influence in the life O.
the child entirely separate from tn
influence of the home. The home ant
school must work together to produc
] the best results; the school doing
more thorough work in the develop
ment of some of the faculties of tn
mind, while the deeper, finer andrmor
. influential characteristics which de
termine the trend of the future adul
life are developed largely in the hom'
The more the parents enter into tn
school life of their children the MOI
will the lives of the children show
successful development in both tt
( mental and moral spheres.
The school building belongs to I
: all, the teachers are there working
help in the proper training of our chi
dren for future usefulness. Let US r
fuse to accept the idea that our schoo
are for the good of the state prima
lily. They are for the good of the DO
and girls. We are poor parents
I've do not have keener interest

Local Talent Draws

The fact that there is musical talent
in Mount Holly was plainly shown on
Wednesday evening when the Mount
Holly 6 lee Club gave its first concert
This organization has not been in exist.
ence very long, but it has reached de-
gree OF excellence that was heartily en-
joyed by those who were able to attend
the first performance. Home talent
always draws and this was the case in
this instance. When the seats were put on
sale the entire down stairs of the opera
house and two rows of the gallery were
sold within four hours, and the hall was
crowded on the evening of the perform
ance.
The music rendered by the young
men comprised some verydiffcult select
ions, but there we're added some OF the
popular songs of the day. and every
number on the programme was heartily
ehcored. In addition to the home talent
there was lady violinist, Miss Alma
Crate, who certainly was an artist. AL
bert Tasker, tenor soloist, from Phila
delphia, rendered some selections that
showed his ability and pleased his
audience.
Between the first and second parts of
the musical programme, there was a
one-act comedy by THE Players" one
lady and three gentlemen from Beverly.
1t WAS entitled Peaches" and it was
certainly well rendered and enjoyed.
The factthat there is in Mount Holly
a number of young men of musical
ability has been known for some time
but the entertainment of Wednesday
evening was surprise to even those who
thought they were acquainted with the
talents of those who gave such a pleas
ant evenings programme.
