THIS ISN'T OUR AFFAIR,
IT'S NOT OUR BUSINESS
AND IS UP TO SOMEBODY
Feb. 10, 1919.

The Palisadian, Palisade, \. j.:
To the Editor of the PaliSadian:
Dear Sir-A sense of public duty
compells me to advise you regarding
some of the conditions prevailing in
the school system at the present time.
You may consider this information
worthy of the attention of the voters
of Cliffside Park
There is a persistent rumor that the
present supervisor of schools, support
ed by certain members of the Board OF
Education, have adopted the policy OF
ousting all members of the old faculty
who have not the protection of the
tenure of office act and of making it
so disagreeable for the others under
its protection as to force their resigna-
ton This policy will act to the detri-
ment of the schools for the following
reasons:
% 1t would be difficult TO secure
the services of competent teachers
should they realize that they were sub
incoming supervisor without regard to
the teachers ability or interest in the
schools, particularly so at this time,
when so many people in the borough
are not yet satisfied that the present
supervisor is thoroughly competent,
and that being the case, another man
is likely soon to supercede him.
(2) The confusion now existing in
the schools, brought about by the con-
slant change of teachers, cannot but
prove detrimental to the progress of
the children in their studies.
AS evidence of the rumOr being we'll
founded. great many designations
have already taken place, due, it is
said, to the carrying out of the above
policy, and in the opinion of some of
the most representative citizens the
schools have lost several very valua-
BILE teachers, whom it will be difficult
matter to replace.
This matter is of such vital impor
lance to the borough that / call upon
you to make as thorough an investiga-
ton of the matter as possible, with the
hope that if you find the conditions as
above stated you will present the facts
to the public for their consideration.
realize that ! am asking you an
unwarranted favor in requesting your
consideration of an unsigned letter.
Though | am protected by the tenure
of office act, the conditions at present
are so disagreeabe | fear that if l dis
close my name the present manage
ment may force my "decapitatiOn"

THIS "ME" OF MINE.
BY George Matthew Adams.

First, it's very individual, this Me
of mine. 1t eats, it walks, it play,
it works, and it sleeps; also it
plans and thinks and dreams and
loves.
This Me of mine gets lonely, too,
even in the midst of work. Ii looks
around itself and marvels at time
and space and things and grows
into a warm, ecstatic mood at the
feel of life and all its tasks.
| like this Ne of mine. because it
is understandable Good and bad,
both. But honestly abreast. For
true things are passing by at every
hour of every day.
/ talk to this Me of mine. And it
talks to me. And the world of ac-
ton all around Stirs the blood in
this Me of mine For it is wakeful
and alert.

thize, for this Me OF mine.
This inside one. this outside one,

mine-it's all that l may keep and
call my own. But | shall stick.
with loyal pride, and gladly strive
to make better, to WELD stronger,
the brain, the heart and the soul of
this Me of mine
So that to serve may prove the
end of all that there is to this Me of
mine.-Good housekeeping.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Birds have such an important part
In the courses Of nature study given
in most schools and colleges that more
should be done to attract them to
school grounds or campuSeS.
Unfortunately the campus, like the
park, has suffered from too formal
landscape gardening. Cropped hedges
are not inviting to the birds, and
wooded campuses where formerly
birds abounded have been so filled
with buildings, so gardened and for
malized, that birds are now scarce.
Some corner-preferably of original
woodland and underground if that still
exists-should be set aside and al
lowed to run wild, as bird sanctuary.
In addition to the help that birds
give as protectors of trees and shrub
berry against injurious insects they
furnish, on school grounds, a distinct
educational resource. There is scarce
ly an advanced school in the country
that does not offer courses in bird
study; and the study of birds out of
doors is a necessary supplement to
that in classroom and laboratory. For
this reason the educational need should
be kept in view by those in charge Of
college and school grounds.
Plants which furnish bird foods
should be added, nest boxes put up,
and winter feeding carried on as an
interesting and instructive part of the
work in bird-study classes. 1t Is fur
ther suggested that the teacher of or
anthology should be called in to advise
in relation to the planning and treat
ment of the campus.
Those who are interested in attract
ing birds to public and semipublic
reservations can get publication de-
voted to this subject by writing to
the United States department of agri-
culture at Washington for Bulletin us.

Origin Of Christmas Carols.

Christmas carols originated in Eng
land in the time when mystery and
morality plays were very popular, and
to set the stage properly for each act
required quite little time. The carols
were what music between the acts
Of play is, to the American people.
and to keep the audience from getting
tired, the waits" between the acts
were filled in by companies of sing
ers who came before the curtain and
sang what to us today are the Christ
mas carols. Gradually, to give them
variety, dancing was introduced. All
the Christmas carols were not relig-
ious, however, in their character; some
were love songs, while others were
convivial in their nature.

L'ENVOI.
BY kipIine.

When the earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colors have faded
And the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and faith We shall need
it,
Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of all good workmen
Shall set us to work anew.
And those that We're good shall be
happy,
They shall sit in golden chair
And splash at a ten-league canvas
With brushes of comets hair;
They shall find real saints to draw
from
Magdalene, Peter and Paul:
They shall work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at ALL
And none but the Master shall praise
us,
And none but the Master shall blame
And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall work for fame
But each for the joy of working
And each in his separate star
Shall paint the things as he sees them
For the God of Things as They Are.

We're home again, the husky boys
Who made the Germans run
And bore the flag of freedom Ger

And helped to plant in solid ground
The fair French fieur-de-lis,
The lily of the native land

And swarms of other things.
The bees of battle made us feel
Their deep and deadly stings:
The rain came down and soaked III

We wallowed to the knee
In mud and blood and frightfulness-
But there was Rose Marie.

And all the summer evening stars
