RELY TOO MUCH ON MACHINES
Responsibility DiscernibIe Among
the Worlds Worteas~-

Writing in the Scientific MontAiy on
the value of handicraft in the re-edu-
cation Of wounded soldiers, Capt.
Frank A. Waugh Of the sanitary corps,
U. S. A, says:
1T Is a great defect of modern So
cfety that it depends too much on ma
chinery. Everything we touch is ma
chine-made. The common laborer in
particular hardly ever sees or touches
anything but machine-made objects.
He begins life in a machine-made 60
cart, eats canned food from a machine
made table with stampedsteel knife,
fork and spoon, dies in the hospital
in machine-made bed, is buried with
a machine-made coffin and marked
with lnachine-made tombstone. When
such a man once makes with his own
hands good basket or leather pocket
book he begins to realize the value
of honest craftmanship-the place of
personal responsibility in the days
labor. This is a most fundamental
element in human psychology now
largely lost in a mechanical world
where objects are made by machines
not by men. The men only feed the
machines and are themselves con-
trolled by another social machine
called a labor union"

PUPILS EXHIBITS
OF FORT LEE SCHOOLS.

Unstinted praise should be given
the teachers of the borough for the
splendid work done by their pupils,
exhibited on Tuesday evening at the
Whitemar street school. One room
varied with the other in attractivenesS.
Everyone exclaimed over the exhibits
of the kindergarten. Here the pupils
were allowed to use their own individu-
atty in the building Of toy houses,
fashioned from crude square wooden
boxes Some of these houses were
deliberately furnished, even wall pa
pered; others went SO far as to have
an attic, but each showed the different
trend of the childs mind, and certainly
were interesting points for the parents
or guardians of the small citizen.
In the manual training room, it was
hard to believe that the work was
that of a nOvice-missiOn umbrella
stands, hat racks, tables, bookcases,
and what not, were exhibited and look
ed like the work of skilled artisans.
In the high school the drawing ex-
hibit was nothing short of marvellous.
The work of Lester, Gent and Price
deserve special mention.
The action and technique of these
youngsters were truly remarkable, and
with development it is quite probable
that they will make success in the
art field.
All the different class rooms were
distinctive and Fort Lee may well be
proud.
The graduation class had their
dresses exhibited in the domestic serv-
ice room. They were made by the
pupils themselves, and did not exceed
in cost So. They were all very sweet
and exemplified the "sweet girl gradu-
ate.

Measuring CoIors.

An English scientist has, according
to Popular Mechanics Magazine,
worked out a method of taking exact
measurement of color. Black, white
and gray are photometrically COM
pared with standard white, and their
composition expressed in. percentage
of black or white. A color, such as
red, is compared with a white surface
in a pure red light. II the red ap-
pears darker, 1t is matched with a
gray surface under a red light, the
percentage Of black then being the
same In both. Assigning the number
rs to red, such composition as Gin
nabar would be signif1ed by the fig
ures % .04 Is, meaning red with per
cent Of white and 10 per cent Of black.
