HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Junior Red Cross is to be
congratulated on raising Sl39 by
giving the box supper. The prin-
cIpaI. on behalf of the Junior Red
Cross extends to the MaSOnS his
thanks for the use Of their hail
for the occasion.
The school garden is now be-
Ing planted. After having the soil

FiduaI gardens were made by the
means OF walks. All OF the high
( school grades and the third grade
in the elementary school have ac-
copied gardens. The work in the
garden IS to be done by voIun-
teerS. Each teacher had the right
and privilege to choose a garden
. for her grade. Only one grade
teacher took advantage of the
/ grand opportunity offered her.
chose gardens for three of the
high school grades. The fourth
year girls are each competing for
prizes by accepting an individual
garden, therefore they will not be
required to have a grade garden.
The prizes for the individual gar
denS are five, three and two dol
lars. The bank will give the first
| prize. The other two prizes will
be given by the business men of
the town.
! The percentage of attendance is
just fine. Last week our attend
ance was 95.l per cent for the en-
tire school. The sixth led the
other grades with an attendance
of 99.5. The fifth grade was a
close second with 97.7. The high
school attendance was 97.4.
Can any school show a better
record of attendance?
We are glad to have the child
rem in school. We certainly can
do them no good unless they at
tend regularly.

6 Amityvillagers'' Pay
7-Cent Fare Voluntarily
League to Give Trolley Com
pany a Lift Formed in
Long Island Towns

The New York and North Shore Trac-
ton Company doesn't run it's cars to
AmtyviIlc which is on the South Shore
of Long Island, but the district it serves
in Queens ard Nassau counties con-
stitutes an "Amityville" believed to be
unique in the history of trolley COM
panies.
AS prof of the "Amityvillagers" of the
North Shore pointed yesterday to the
announcement that two of their mum
Der selected by them, had been elected
directors OF the traction company.
1t came about in this way The troll
icy company was losing money steadily
charging tive-cent fares and petitjoned
to have the charge raised to seven
cents. Permission was refused. Then
residents of Flushing and other com
munltles served by its lines decided
they couldn't afford to have the trolley
company go out of business and
formed the seven-cent fare league.
All members Of the league yoluntar
lily pay seven cents instead Of five
when riding on North Shore cars The
league grew with astonishing rapiditv.
Every day an increasing number Of
people handed seven cents instead of
hNt ScIi'o 70 conductors. Inc OrCaDI-
cation has been in existence several
weeks and has an advisory board
which is urging the seven-cent fare.
In recognition of the movement the
traction company announced that two
of the seven cent passengers would be
accepted as directors. The league sug-
gested Elmer {. Story of Flushing and
Charles S. Golden of Whtestone and
both have been duly elected to the d.
rectoratc Of the company.

According to Ernest Bohm, secretary
of the Central Federated Union of this
city, if the proposed legislation permit
ting the manufacture of light wines and
beer is enacted by the Legislature in
Albany, there will be no danger of a
general strike against prohibition on
July ].
"The proposed legislation is abso-
rlutely right" said Mr.. BONN yesterday
"and labor will be content if prohib-
ton is 80 interpreted that the manu-
facture and sale of light wines and
beer are permitted"
Mr. BONN said that the results of tie
two-week period in which the unions of
greater New York were voting on the
question of general strike acainst
prohibition would be made known at
the next meeting of the Central Fed
Grated Union on Friday night.
Asked about District Council No. |
of the PAYERS and Rammermen, who
had voted "No Beer, No Work." Mr.
BONN said he interpreted that vote as
vote to go on strike even though in
the report to the Central Federated
Union the work strike was not men
toned.
Those men. 5000 of them, will GER
family go on strike if bone dry prohibi
ton goes in effect on July L." he said

of the insane have been conducted in
a dozen states. AS a result of these
studies made by highly trained physi-
clans remarkable improvements have
been brought about. In South Caro-
lima, as 81 result of survey made
within q period of one month, the state
Legislature appropriated more than
100000 for the remodelling of q state
hospital and also passed a modern set
of so-calle1 insanity laws. Similar re-
suits have been attained in other
states.

mittee for Mental Hygiene has proved
DR.. Glueck, the first comprehensive
ones ever made' in connection with a
prison, have revealed the fact that
about two-thirds of all of the inmates
of Sing Sing Prison are mental de-
hcients or mental disordered. In other
words, the problem of crime cannot be
solved successfully until the mental
factors involved are given due con-
sidoration.
Studies conducted in connection with
the Children's Court of New York City
indicate that high percentage of the
children brought before the court are
mentally deficient or of psychopathic
makeup.
members of this group, unless prop
erly supervised are sure to find their
way into prison little later in life
These studies indicate that the sou-
ton of the problems of crime and de
linquency especially Juvenile delin-
quency, should be attacked earlier;
that is, all school children should be
examined mentally and those found to
be mentally deficient or potentially or
actually neurotic or psychotic should
be so superv Used and advised as to pre-
vent their appearing later in children's
courts or in prisons.
"The Canadian National Committee
for Mental Hygiene has secured more
than $4,000 for it's initial work and
is already engaging in many activities.
Provincial governments are requesting
surveys and important work with ref
erence to INN grafton, and reconstruct
ton activities following the war are
being carried on in close cooperation
