SECRETARY HOUSTON COM
MENDS CHILDREN FOR SAY
INGS WORK IN THE SCHOOLS

LAMBERTVILLE-In a letter adj
dressed "To the Boys and Girls of
America" which has just been re-
ceived at local schools, Secretary
Houston commends the children on
the splendid work performed by them
in promoting the sale of Treasury

splendid work, reads as follows:
81 have been gratified to hear of

saving money, and of your investment
in Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps and other government securi-
ties. Your government is proud that
the young people of the nation are
developing these most practical habits.
can assure you that the money you
are now investing in government saw
ings securities is very helpful in meet
ing your country's great responsible
ties. While you are aiding your gov
eminent through the purchase of
these securities, you are forming
habits which will be most valuable in
the future in the mastery of your per-
sonal financial affairs. | congratulate
you on your record"

Dear Zee See:
"The Education of Henry Adams"
has nothing on the education of a
young cat.
To see our cat, Felice, teaching her
little group of serious thinkers is a
delight to the eye.
She teaches them what a young
cat ought to know apologies to
Sylvanus StalD and they are apt
scholars 1 assure you. Already they
have learned the use of their teeth
and claws, (Not the parenthetical
clause)
They can locate the exact spot of
flea bite, and have lots of fun scratch
ing and biting at it; the escaping flea
worries not at all.
I wonder what she tells them after
lunch as they gather round dreamily
contented Does she tell them of Puss
in Boots; the Sacred Cat of Bubastes;
Dick Wilmington and his cat; and
many other famous cats of history
and legend?
She should tell them how cats are
revered in the Orient, and despised in
the Occident; how during the noe
turnal song-feasts they will receive
everything from verbal bouquets to
Irish confetti. 1t might be well to
let them know that centuries ago
Antonio Stradwarmis took the hair
from a horses tail, block of wood,
and the dried entrails of a cit, and
made the perfect violin; $4,000 would
be a small price for one today.
When people complain about the
wailing of a cat they should remem-
Der that thew are full of violin-strings.

JAP ISSUE
in CALIFORNIA

Ambassadors Morris and Shidehara
have concluded their negotiations fer
the settlement of the California alien
land law question and the definition
of the rights of Japanese in the United
States, and their recommendations are
embodied in report which Mr. Nor

Colby The principal features of this
report are as follows:
l. An amendment to the existing
commercial treaty which will grant to
Japanese subjects lawfully in this
country equal civil rights with the ma
tionals of any other foreign nation.
2. A revision of the existing gen

conform to present-day requirements,

SCHOOLS
WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND
WHAT THEY OUGHT TO DO

The present educational system en-
braces:
l. Seventeen separate and expen-
sive plants.
2. Teachers often young, inexperi-
enced and inadequately trained.
B. Small classes-too many classes
no competition-no stimulus.
4. The rural district schools COM
plete only textbook work through
the eighth grade.
5. Ninety per cent. of the pupils of
the rural schools complete only the
work of the eighth grade, thus enter
ing life with no practical training.
6. Such are deemed to earn a live
lihood by purely physical labor.
7. Parents and property owners pay
high taxes and receive but meagre
returns.
8. Rural America is now suffering
the consequences of inefficient schools.
The Proposed System
l. One great and economic central
plant.
2. Broad grounds beautiful seen
ery-splendid buildings.
3. These create local pride, patriot
ism and self-respect in the pupils and
all citizens as we'll
4. 1t provides expert instructions
by especially educated and trained
teachers who teach but one subject or
grade.
5. 1t eXempts teachers from isolated
rural life, from long tramps to school
and from degrading ianitor service.
6. 1t provides large classes which
inspire and stimulate pupils to their
best efforts.
Z. 1t gives vocational training
which educates hand and eye as well
as brain.
8. By it girls are taught all
branches of Domestic Science and
when they leave school they are fitted
to be home-makers.
8. Boys are instructed in Agricul-
ture, Mechanics and Woodcraft and are
thus fitted for farm or workshop.
10. With the proposed system the
value of every farm and property will
be enhanced.
II. Soon there will be many con-
solidated, vocational schools in this
State. The State will pay a large
percentage of their maintenance. If
we maintain our present status, we
will be paying through taxation for
educational advantages in other com
nunities in which we do not partici-
pate.
II. Don't be disheartened by criti-
cism.
10. Everything is subject to fault
finding.
IA. The Jews found fault with "The
Man of Nazareth" only perfect
being whoever trod the earth.
IS. This proposition will be crit
cised, but the foregoing statements
are unassailable.

PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTA-
TION IN n. J.

The Proportional Representation
Committee of New Jersey, Alfred N.
Chandler, secretary, Newark, today
gave out the following statement:
Republican leaders of Hudson
County frankly acknowledge that "The
Democrats will elect the entire Hud-
son Assembly delegation next Novem-
ber"-unless this session of the Leg
islature enacts proportional repre-
sentation for the election of Assem-
blymen from counties of the first
class.
By adoption of proportional repre-
sentation the Republicans of Hudson
would likely elect five and the Demo-
Gratis seven.
If the proposed Constitutional
amendment to establish one-man AS
sembly districts in all counties which
elect two or more Assemblymen which
the Democratic party State platform
has been demanding for many years
past, is approved by the 1921 Legis-
lature, and again by the 1922 Legis-
lature, it will go to a vote of the peo-
pie in November, 1922, and if then
carried in the face of strong opposi-
ton which will develop, it will be-
come operative at the November,
1928, election
Just how many Republican Assem-
blymen will be elected from twelve
Hudson districts in 1928 and how
many Democratic Assemblymen will
be elected from the 81 one-man dis
tricts into which the thirteen coun-
ties will be cut up will depend largely
upon how the district boundaries are
gerrymandered by the 1923 Legisla-
ture.
Until then Hudson County will no
doubt continue to elect solid Demo-
cratic Assembly delegation, which
would be prevented by the adoption
of proportional representation in coun-
ties of the first-class at this session.
The Proportional Representation
Committee of New Jersey announces
that if proportional representation is
enacted for counties of the frst-class
at this session of the Legislature it
will make no effort to extend proper
tional representation for the election
of Assemblymen from other counties,
but if not enacted at this session it
will keep up an active educational
campaign for its enactment for the
eight counties that elect three or more
Assemblymen.

Dear Gee See:
In promulgating your esoteric cogi-
tations, or articulating your superb
cial sentimentalites and amicabIe
philosophical or psychological obser-
vations, beware of platitudinous pom
derosity. Let your conversational
communications possess a clarified
conciseness, a compact comprehen-
sibleness, coalescent consistency and
a concatenated cogency.
Eschew all conglomerations of fatu-
lent garrulity, jejune vablement affec-
tations. Let your eXtemporaneous de-
cantings and unprecedented expatia-
tons have intelligibility and veracious
vivacity, without shodomontade or
bombast. Sedoulously
avoid all polysyllabic profundity,
pompous proliXity, psittaceous vasinty,
ventriloquail verbosity and vanilo-
quent rapidity. Shun -entenders,
prurient jocosity and pestiferous pro-
family, obscurant or apparent.

six years in that position there came
the call from Bridgeport sixteen years
ago, and he answered it, and has been
here ever since
There is Little wonder that Mr.. La
cy longs for a rest after such a busy
life with SO little respite. Thirty
two years Of work, on duty both
night and day, is a record that few
men of his years could equal.
Others Wanted Him.
And that Mr.. Lacy has shown his
loyalty to Bridgeport and to his work
is proved by the sheaf of letters re-
ceived from similar institutions an
over the country offering him from
one to two thousand dollars increase
in salary if he would accept. But
always he has refused. keeping in
mind the fact that he felt the greater
field for his activities lay here in this
city that is, to him, at least, so worth
while.
His message to Bridgeport contains
much that is interesting, much that
is encouraging. It shows his faith in
the city and its future and his pride
in its record.
And more than that, he believes
with EN- erSOn: 1.-THE trueSt test of
a civilization is not the census nor the
size of the cities, nor the crops, no.
but the kind of men the country turns

sary lifts and suggestions. but their
campaign personnel was particularly
capable and the results were crafty
ing
Mr.. Lacy, as perhaps few know,
was born in Oskaloosa. Ia. He start
ed to work in a packing house when
a young boy. working five years at
one job. He left that job on Satur-
day to take another one on Monday,
in the same line of work His du-
ties then consisted in selling goods
part of the day and keeping books
the other part. Keen to make a
showing. the young man often sold
goods all day long and did his books
at night, often getting down to the
station at three o'clock in the morn
ing to check up what goods came in
on the early train
After five years of this strenuous
work, he left one Saturday noon to
become general secretary at Des
Moines, Ia, and he was at his desk
the same Saturday evening. After
