Board of Education Submits
Report of Progress Made Dur
ing the School Year
To the Parents and Taxpayers of
Mount Holly:

To the Parents and Taxpayers o.
Mount Holly:
In publishing a report of the worl
accomplished during the past year, to.
gether with a brief announcement, Of
plans for the future, the Board of Ed
ucation is actuated by the belief thai
the people should be acquainted with
the policies of the Board and urged to
realize their responsibilities in seeing
that good schools are maintained.
The supervising principal and the
members of the Board are at all times
ready to give information and answer
questions. Public meetings of the
Board are held on the third Thursday
evening of each month.
Approximately $4,000 a year, or
more than $1,000 week for the ten
months of the session, is expended in
operating the Mount Holly schools.
The Board of Education is trying to
give the people better schools for
their taxes. We do not believe the
people want lower taxes at the ex-
pense of poorer schools. The annual
financial report shows in detail how
the money is spent.
The duty of the Board of Education
is to provide and maintain good
schools. The members are responsible
for the results obtained. If their work
has been we'll performed, they merit
encouragement and support. They de-
serve censure if their course of action
has been ineffective. But neither
judgment should be pronounced with
out investigation.
The future men and women of
Mount Holly are now receiving the ed
ucation that is to fit them for their
places in life. The days they spend
in school will never come to them
again. What has the Board of Edu-
cation done to benefit the children?
That is the question that should be
asked by the people, and this report is |
published to assist in answering it.
An extensive constructive program
has been adopted by the Board of Ed
ucation which will eventually result
in the Mount Holly schools being rec
ognized as the finest of their size in |
New Jersey. Under the able super
vision of Edgar F. Bunce great pro-
gress has been made during the pres
emit school year, and we look for still
greater advancement in the future.
The State Department of Education
has highly complimented the Board of
Education and the supervising prin-
,ipal upon the results already obtain
I'd. With continued public support
much more will be done.
Respectfully submitted,

RED CROSS KNITTING RESUMED

RED CROSS KNITTING RESUMED.
In response to cables received by
National Headquarters from relief
commissions in Europe an order has
gone out from Washington asking the
knitters of America to take up again
the needles they stacked when the
armistice was signed. Unlimited use,
the cables assert, can be made of
stockings, sweaters and mufflers for
children and shawls for women.
Instructions have been sent to the
chapter managers authorizing them
to use yarn already in stock or to get
more from the supply service.
These instructions, however, do not
debar knitters from using yarn sup
piled by themselves, OF any color or
weight, and made according to direc-
tions of their own. Articles SO made,
if they are "warm and serviceable, y
will be accepted by the Red Cross for
shipment.
Many women, for instance, make
stockings according to directions OF
their own which are equally as good
as those made according to set stand
ards. These will be accepted. In
short, "any directions which will pro-
duce good garments will answer the
purpose"
There is, however, particular need
for stockings and sweaters for chill
dren and it is suggested that whenev-
err possible these articles be made in
preference to mufflers and shawls
The sweaters must have sleeves and
may be made in three sizes, small
medium and large for children.
Work on refugee garments is not tc
be stopped or slackened. The women
of devastated France and stricken
Poland cannot do without dresses just
because they are to have shawls; theil
children need pinafores and petticoats
as we'll as. stockings and sweaters
The knitting program is simply a new
part of the refugee program and ir
no way takes the place of it.
Division workers who, during the
war, said they wanted to work fol
soldiers, but not for refugees, have M
longer any reason, patriotic or senti
mental, for this declaration. There
are enough finished articles to more
than supply the needs of American
soldiers and sailors. 1t is question
now not of knitting comforts for mel
already provided for by the Govern
ment, but of relieving restitution.
Pitiable stories have been fashel
across the ocean about thousand
upon thousands of children who ar
barefooted and barelegged while snow
and ice is upon the ground. In man.
countries, even if articles could b
manufactured and paid for, the ma
terial to make them is totally lacking
In all of these countries, however, tn
American Red Cross has commission
and is prepared to make distribution
"The need" says one cablegram, ii
great to a degree which few at HON
can possibly realize. Every articl
furnished will give warmth to bod
which otherwise would lack prope
clothing and each garment will actua
ly prevent suffering"
The chairman of the Mount Holl
Red Cross knitting committee will /
at her home, PA High street, ever
Wednesday to give out wool and Re
ceive finished articles. She will ais
be glad to give directions or6Assist
, any way with the knitting.

EATING AS A
 RECREATION IS
 CAUSE OF ILLS

A boy ten to twelve years old, seen eating an ice cream cone, was asked how many he had had that day. 'iSixteen,'' he replied, hungrily ab- sorbing the sweet chocolate ice. AS
 it was only supper time, he had sev- eral hours to the good yet, and had not probably gone his limit The kid was barefoot, slightly ragged The sixteen cones constituted a problem not merely for his digestion, but for the family purse.
 Twenty years ago, when pennies were scarce, that boy would have spent his vacation rolling in the dirt, knocking baseballs into the near by gardens, and general vagrancy- While he would have got into more or less mischief, still his support would not have cost much, and his stomach was not overloaded with sweets. Careful parents are scandalizeG with the way the young folks now adays crowd around the soda foun- tains and refreshment joints, stuffing

themselves to an extent that is both costly and physically detrimental. Many of them consequently come to their meals with no appetite at all.
 There is nothing new in this. From time immemorial large part Of tne people have made eating their prin- cipal recreation and interest. The grandest and finest thing in life, to them, is to drive off to some hotel and get a swell dinner.
 Such people should not be con- demned too severely. They are us ually harmless, often kindly. Good livers are proverbially good natured, laughing people, who distribute cheerful spirits. Thus they may serve their purpose in life. Still the over emphasis on eating Is an abnormal attitude. It tends to give people slug gish minds, to keep them apart from the progress and development of the community. It is very frequently paid for by years of indigestion.

If his hats were made in Peru, they were made in Peru, Indiana, and the only Indians in Peru, Indiana, are the improved Red Men and Freddy Shook who goes joy riding with bottle of applejack under the seat Of Dads f1ivver and carries matches and everything. The hats may have been made under water but they won't stand the rain.
 Country Full of Promoters.
 The country is full of promoters of wild cat stock guaranteed to yield wonderful fortunes made in Peru Indiana If you let yourself be talked into putting your hard earned savings into such stocks without proper in vestigation you are as foolish as you felt after you had bought the Panama and found that the boat referred to does not go to Peru.
 When you buy speculative stocks you get not an investment but a chance in a game where there are few winning chances--if any.
 When you buy Government Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps you get real investment and a real se- curity.

1 what they owed-only to repeat the borrowing three or four days later.
 Of course, his hoard was really very small But he was the
 moneyed man. As such, he stood on plane above his fellow-workmen not merely in an economic sense, but in the respect he was able to com mand from his employer and from others. Relatively, he was a person of importance. Nobody who knew him could escape recognition of the fact that here was a young man sure to get ahead in the world.
 Men Wanted For Jobs.
 This is exactly the kind of man that is sought by employers today. They need him in their business, and he never has to look long for a job. In fact, the job seeks him.
 The employer of today keeps watch full "tab" on the habits of his em- ployees. His confidence in the man who spends all he gets as fast as he gets it is always qualified. He knows; it is his business to know. On the other hand, the man who saves-who puts part of his earnings away right along-unmistakab has character and ambition. He is marked for promotion.
 With this idea in mind, employees are buying War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. It is an easy way to begin, and the plan has been found to work out admirably. The wage earners form little societies" for the purpose among themselves, each member contributing so much a week. This obligation for self-help having once been voluntarily assumed everybody ponies up" regularly in response to the weekly call, and be- fore long their savings acquire real weight

When Ben Franklin Was a Boy BI Rene Bach, h,great-great-great-grandson
 of Benjamin Franklin

The price of bread two cen turies ago was penny loaf. That was two cents, which seems mighty cheap. But one should remember that in those days the purchasing power of money was far greater than now.
 Thus 1t happened that Benja- min Franklin, a boy of seventeen, on arriving in Philadelphia, was able to buy three loaves for three pence; and with them he walked up Market Street from the wharf, holding one under each arm and eating the third. An hour later he gave two of them to a woman and her child who had been fel- low-voyagers up the Delaware.
 Franklin Generous.
 Franklin was always generous. In fact, he was often imprudently so. During the period of his early strug- gles he was frequently in serious financial plight because of lending or giving money to friends poorer than himself.
 Where his own expenditures were concerned he was always frugal, sav- ing what he could out of his wages as a printer, while his fellow-workers spent theirs as fast as they got them, or faster. In this way it came about that, while a mere youngster in a printing office, he lent them money every week.
 ActedAss Banker.
 Though the earnings of most of them were greater than lis, he was the capitalist. By the middle of each week they were penniless and came to him for loans to carry them over until pay day. He would accept no interest, but each Saturday, on getting their money. they gave back to him

CATCH MICE
 EARN THRIFT STAMPS $

When the eats away the mice will play-but not at the orphan age at Oxford, N. c. At this thrifty institution the destructive little rodents are being hotly pursued by the children-not only the mice but even the big gray rats find no rest-and as they are caught they are sold for Thrift Stamps.
 One Cent For Each Rat
 From Miss Mary G. ShotweI, field director for North Carolina for the War Loan Organization of the Fifth Federal Reserve District, comes the account of what the children at the Oxford Orphanage are doing. These children. she says, do not have a great deal of money, but what they get, Miss ShotweH says. they invest in Thrift Stamps. Recently rats and mice began a spring drive on the barn and the orphanage superinten- dent offered one cent for each rat brought to his office. The children made a splendid counter attack, catching ana killing a number of the pests. Even the girls, forgetting their traditional fear of the furry little beasts, joined joyfully in the chase and a number of Thrift Stamps were bought in consequence.
 Summer Contest Started.
 Not alone at the Oxford Orphanege has Thrift Stamp enthusiasm devel- oped. Miss Shotwell writes, for the Oxford Girl Scouts have sent defiant challenge to the Oxford Boy Scouts to beat them in a summer savings contest. The boys are not expected to back down and a spirited race is expected. which, it is believed, will firmly establish the saving habit in more than one future citizen. thus not only benefting them individually but materially bettsring the community.

Now that real summer weather is here so also is a smooth and oily tongued gentleman with an al- legged Spanish accent and wicker suitcase. With the aid and assist ance of a near Spanish accent, he will tell you-if you come in his path, all about how he is a second cousin of a nephew of a steward on a boat sailing to and from South America. He will also make known to you, that he, by remark able ingenuity, has been able to smuggle a few genuine Peruvian Panama hats into the United States.
 Then the Plot ThickeHs.
 He then shows you the contents of the wicker suitcase, containing the Peruvian bananas and offers you the never to be repeated" opportunity of acquiring a geuine twenty-five dollar panama for eleven dollars. He will explain how the Peruvian Indians plait the hats under water, and if you make the slip of offering him $3.95, you will get the hat and-stung.

WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES GROWING
 IN THIS DISTRICT
849,315 Enrolled in Thrift Move ment Promoted by U. s.
 Treasury.

There were S49,315 enrolled mem bers of War Savings Societies in New York City, New York State and the twelve northern counties of New Jer- sey on June 21, last, all staunch ad- vocates of thrift and every one a regu- lar purchaser of War Savings Stamps, according to announcement by the War Savings Committee.
 This is considered by officials direct ing the thrift campaign as an excellent showing. It proves that regardless of the ending of the war the habit of reg ular saving has become popular and that War Savings Stamps are looked upon favorably. The investors who have joined societies are from all walks of life and include hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. Many of them buy merely a thrift stamp a month some purchase S10 or $20 worth of War Savings Stamps each week, but all of them are regular saw CTS, intent upon putting certain sums of money into these Government se- curities.
 In making public the results of the war savings COmInlJteeS ehOrtS 10 interest people in regular savings, it was stated that the S49315 savers are enrolled in 7,7S7 War Savings Socie- ties.
 Of the 7,7S7 War Savings Societies in existence on June 21, 1919, 4,353 were In New York City.
 New York State (outside of New York City) had 962 societies, with 51,- 927 members, on June 21. It was stat ed that hundreds of schools where chill dren have taken up the idea of saving through the use of Penny School Saw ings Books, have not formally organ ized War Savings ,zieties. There are many thousands of regular investors in Thrift Stamps, therefore, who are not considered in the report of mem- bers of War Savings Societies in this portion of the Second Federal Reserve District.
 The twelve northern counties of New Jersey are credited with 296, 105 mem- bers of War Savings Societies and with 2,472 different Societies.
