need of a separate Vocational Building
in u school work, and it is hoped this
may be erected in the neal future, SO
that pupils may spend a halliday in
vocational training in a well-equipped
plant under competent teachers of
printing, woodworking, and such 9TH
er trades as may be added from time
to time.
We hear much today about Democ-
racy. Let me impress upon you
strongly that the term democracy does
not signify that which is vulgar and
mean. Our public schools are intend
ed to foster and maintain democracy
throughout Duh great country. The
public schools are Numerically op-
posed to that which is vulgar and
mean. Consequently, the graduates
frcrp our schools, especially u high
schools, mdst set the example of good
clean citizenship IN his or her commu-
nifty. AS you have received your ed
ucation freely from this great state of
New Jersey, see to it that you give in
the future that support to her free
school system that will ensure increas-
ing benefits to her future children.
The printers art is being used for
many purposes that do not tend to
elevate democracy. Beware of that
which is vulgar and mean in books.
Do not purchase a volume because of
it's handsome binding. Buy books, lots
of them, but never more than you can
read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest.
Buy booksi Books whose contents
were of such value that they must be
printed and published to the world.
Books that have been written simply
to sell, you cannot afford to buy nor
waste your time in reading. Many of
these are empty dreams. Buy books
that you feel impelled to read, re-read
and read again, with profit.

Kills Chestnut Trees.

A fatal disease. which came origi-
nally from Europe, is killing the
chestnut trees in the forests in the
Eastern States. 1t is spreading west
ward from Pennsylvania into West
Virginia and Ohio. As the laws of
Kentucky make no provision for a
quarantine against the importation
of diseased plants. it will be necessary
for the people Of the state to stop
buying or planting chestnut trees.
The specialists at the Experiment
Station state that the danger is es-
pecially great as all chestnut trees,
both native and foreign, are liable to
the disease.
