something unusual happened. The
worthy master, Charles Mathis, was
not present at the opening hour, but
when he did arrive his face was all
smiles. He said he just could not
come any earlier, as only a few hours
before a little stranger had arrived at
his home and mother and son were
doing fine. OF course, congratulations
were in order before business could
continue.
Not n of the Eighth Grade of our
school passed the test to enter High
School next term, therefore, we have
no pupils as members of the 1921
Graduating Glass sof Atlantic County.
Parents and pupils are very much dis
appointed. A number of parents met
with the Board of Education at their
last meeting to try to arrange for a
betterment of III school, but, as our
representing member was not present,
there was little accomplished. We
trust the Board of Education will be
more interested in the coming term
and not permit u school to be closed
for a seven-week period preceding eX
aminations. Some of the parents will
place their children in the Eighth
Grade in Pleasantville next year.

1t is a, truism that where there are
M workers, capital is useless, mere
dross. Nevertheless, it is not a practi-
cal truism because only the waste
parts of the earth have no people, that
is, nobody to work.
A much more practical truism is
this: That where labor is most plenti-
full, there civilization is at its lowest,
as witness Siberia and China.
If nobody would work, there would,
of course, be no capital. Neither
would there be any civilization. And
very few people would survive such a
condition because few parts of the
earth grow food without cultivation.

BACK YARDS AND CHARACTER

You can generally tell what kind of a man he is by looking at his back yard And the question that every householder should ask himself is: Is it as we'll kept as it ought to be? Is is privilege to have a back yard even if it is a small one, and those who are fortunate enough to have such a place for fresh air and for it's garden should appreciate their ad- vantages and should take care of their little yards. This is not perhaps so easy as it seems to be and in some English localities the authorities are discouraging back yards because the people take so little care of them, but this ought never be the case in an in- telligent American town The clean Illness of place is in ratio to the health education of it's people and you can always tell the standards of the population by looking at their back yards.
 When the people can maintain their gardens and little breathing spaces in good order they will then be able to use their influence towards keep ing clean the streets of their town. It is true, therefore, that the condi- tion of the streets will indicate pretty well what is the condition of the back yards, and these will let the observer know with reference to the intelli- gence of the Western Re view.

WOULD ROT IN JAIL BEFORE
 PAYING FINE
But No One Thinks He Will Have to Do So

Denver, Col, Feb. 2-Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court prefers to rot in jail rather than pay the $500 fine evied against him for contempt of court by Dis trict Judge Perry five years ago, which penalty was affirmed by the Colorado Supreme Court and practi- cally upheld by the United States Su- preme Court Monday, when the tri- bunal dismissed Lindsey's appeal. The alternative of the fine was a year in jail.
 When asked Wednesday afternoon, what he intended to do in regard to paying the fine, Judge Lindsey em- phatically and without the slightest equivocation declared that he would never pay the fine. Neither will he willingly permit anyone else to pay it.
 There is vast principle involved in this case, which can never be set | tied by either me or any one else paying fine not even if it was as small as one cent. This question must be settled right and for all time, even if I am compelled to spend a year behind the bars. There is hardly a person in Colo rado who believes that Judge Lind | sey will ever be called upon to go to jail.
 Judge Lindsey believes that the case will probably be remanded to the criminal division of the Denver district court, where Mrs. Bertha Wriyht, mother of 12-year-old Neal Wright, who made confession to Lindsey regarding the killing, was tried on charge of murdering her husband, John A. Wright. It is generally believed that the district judge will either remit or suspend the fine. probably at the same time administering a stern re- buke to Judge Lindsey for his con- duct. Judge Lindsey declared that if a similar situation should arise in the future his conduct would be the same as it was in the Wright case-that he would defy all orders and man. dates of any and all courts before he would betray what he declared to be statement made to him in strict confidence by child that was practi- cally a ward of the juvenile court when it was made.
 The lads affidavit, which was evil dence in the trial and which declared that he, and not his mother. killed his father. was attacked by the state, and the effort to have Judge Lindsey repeat the conversation he had had with the boy with the object of nulli- flying the affidavit. Judge Lindsey steadfastly refusel to repeat the con versation, and the fine for contempt of court followed.
 Nothing on earth will ever make me reveal the story this lad told of the killing of his father, for which offense his mother was placed on trial charged with the murder and acquitted" said Judge Lindsey.
