ART IN THE SCHOOL.

In, local movements for community
benefits there is never any progress
possible of material kind without
leadership. The public Is slow to move
as unit unless guided. This Is per-
haps natural state of mind. 1t Is
the same in all state and national af-
fairs. AS a matter of fact, men are
like most animals. They like to herd
and to follow leader.
There have been many efforts in Pal
isade looking towards the general up
lift and benefit of the community, yet
1t Is a fact that there have been few
public enterprises to carry to COM
plete finish.
These meditations are induced from
thought coming in connection with
the movement now on looking to the
very commendable purpose of stimu-
lating art interest in the public school
and quite naturally in the entire COM
munity. The refining Influence of an
art education is generally recognized,
and once taste for it is developed 1t
never leaves person. So there Is no
more appropriate time TO DeSn tne
study of art than in the school period.
The local movement, it is to be hoped,
will receive no discouragements. For
very little money and really small
effort splendid start may be had in
this direction. Place good collection
of pictures in the school, tell the stu
dents what they represent, who the
artists are, what their aims and mo-
tives were as artists and the seed is
ut once planted for the type of educa-
ton that will bring happiness and cul-
ture for the future. To know a
Raphael, a Moran, an lnniss, a Sir
Joshua Reynolds, a Tenier, REM
brandt, brings certain satisfaction
that is always sure to bring agreeable
emotions of sympathetic interests. By
all means encourage pictures for the
school. 1t will prove n lasting invest
ment that will never be forgotten.

LONELINESS OF THE CITY.

Henry l.. Stoddard, editor of the
New York Evening Mail, wrote one of
his front page editorials last week on
the coldness of New York. He cited
the opinions of a number of people to
prove that the great metropolis had
little heart or feeling. The loneliness
of New York also came in for part of
his discussion. As matter of fact,
there is nothing to compare with the
loneliness of great city. Nearly all
men of the big cities are known to
only limited few. They move about
among groups, and in these groups sim
cere friendships may be established.
But men go from day to day and never
see a soul they know, and this is n
form of loneliness that surpasses any.
1t was Lord Byron who spoke of the
solitude of a crowd"
1t is very different in the smaller
place. And as for the village, there is
where one may get the true feeling of
life in all of its channels. Everyone
knows all the others of the village.
People meet on the street, stop and
speak, exchange the greetings OF the
day, gossip about local affairs, swap
views and have good little social
visit at any hour of the day. In the
city these same people so from day to
day without speaking to soul, use the
subway or surface ears, but get Il cold
stare from everyone, become hardened
TO this state of things.
TIL village for us every time. Here
is where whatever people are viii be
established. And the village, carrying
its feeling so openly among its friends,
gives expression to the most heart
that can be developed among people.
1t is what makes life real.

GERMAN DISSERTATIONS.

Reports from Geneva show the Ger
mans ut their pretty ways again.
They are not in the League, but they
are filing with il big volumes filled
with protests, objections, criticisms,
complaints and lamentations, They
allege that the Versailles treaty is not
being executed as il should be. In the
matter of the colonies and the man
dates they declare that Germany is
suffering wrong. But she ought TO be
content TO wait Bit. She delayed
sixty years in carrying out her treaty
agreement to give Schleswig plebi-
settle. For that no doubt the German
diplomatic doctors could produce
theses as learned as those they are
now depoSiting at Geneva. Besides, il
hardly lies In German mouths TO cry
out that the treaty is not being exc
cuted properly. How about Germany's
own part in that execution?
Until her purpose and good faith in
that matter are made clear it is idle
for her to file an application for men,
bership in the League of Nations. The

very terms of the covenant providing
for admission by two-thirds vote OF
the assembly stipulate that it shall be
granted only to a country that shall
give effective guarantees of it's sincere
intention to observe its international
obligations" Failing such effective
guarantees, all the German disserta-
lions are merely so much good paper
wasted. They may please their au-
thors, but won't do the least harm to

DON'T SNEEzE IN INDIA;
IT MIGHT KILL SOMEBODY
Missionary Doctor Says Supersti-
ton Costs Many Lives
Annually in Orient.

Sneezes and superstitions cost many
lives annually in India.
THIS was the statement Of DR.. Anna
Degenring of the WOman's American
Baptist Foreign Mission society, who
has Just returned to New York on
years fur1ough after fourteen years
as a doctor in India.
"a sneeze means a great impending
calamity to the Indian mind" said
DR.. Degenring. "Whatever happens on
the day that one hears a sneeze Is
sure to turn out Ill, and the Indian
will enter upon no undertaking OF I'M
portance on such a day. Many Of our
patients have refused to have opera
lions on which their lives depended on
the day that had been arranged for,
because they happened to sneeze that
morning, or even to hear some one
else sneeZe."
Indian belief in suspicious days is
another "hobgoblin" in the path Of the
medical missionary there, DR.. Degen-
ring said. Soon after an Indian child
Is boru, the soothsayer reveals to the
family it's lucky star and it's lucky
days. Indians who fall Ill or are hurt
in an accident persist In waiting for
their suspicious days before sending
for a doctor.
The Indians, the physician explain
ed, attribute epidemics to the wrath
Of various goddesses Of Ill health,
adding "there is goddess Of malaria
and a goddess Of smallpox goddess,
in fact, of every recurring epidemic"
Though they believe in goddesses,
they are hard to convince concerning
germs and they have no idea Of quar-
antine for contagious diseases, DR..
Degenring said.

The football team closed it's season
with 7-6 victory over Emerson High
School of West Hoboken last Saturday.

full since the year our team lost only
two games, one to Passaic and the
other to Ridgewood. The team ended
the season credited with six victories

BURGLARS ARE ORIGINAL
Use Unique Method of Breaking Into
Store

Store.
What was perhaps the most unique
way Of breaking and entering a place
of business in the record of the At
lanta police headquarters was report
ed by the manager of Testers Style
Shop.
Burglars removed a panel two feet
square from the rear wall of the store
by using brace and bit. Holes were
bored In four lines, making a square,
and then the panel was pushed out.
The burglars entered the store and
carried away clothing valued at $4,000.
Mems and ladies' suits, silk stockings
and silk socks and large quantities of
underwear were stolen.
There has TO be a breaking and
entering TO constitute burglary"
said one of the police officers, 'sbut
this Is a case of boring and entering"

the way in which the Water Commission
anal s. n. Van Trump, chief engineer for
the Water Department view the question.
The only thing that stands between the
citizens and this danger now. is mechan-
ical means taken to treat water.
Members Of the Board OF Water Com
missioners are united that they are not
to be persuaded into letting the matter
drop, they regarding such a course as a
direct dereliction of duty and in fact
Juggling with the health of men, women
and children"
They have put the matter up to City
Solicitor John W. Huxley, Jr., and have
also considered the advisability of calling
in Acknowledgement David J. Reinhardt.
The report of the former will govern to
large extent whether the aid of the latter
will be sought.
While Mayor William G.. Taylor and
President of Council George t. Lyon both
hold the view that the Bancroft mills are
responsible, the board feels that the city
and State legal representatives, are the
proper parties to fix their liability under the
law.
Engineer Van Trump regards the
pollution as more than nuisance. He
thinks it is gambling with fate" and
doesn't propose to let anything deter him
