IN MEMORY OF
WARREN A. GREENE

The following article has been Civ
en- this paper for publication.
1.-THE Trustees of the Stryker Lib
rary Association met in special meet
ing on May 18th. 1921 for the pur-
pose of recognizing publicly the SER
vices to the Stryker Library, of War
rem A. Greene, secretary of the AS
ISOLATION, who died April 18th. 1921.
Warren A. Greene was lover of
books, a well read man. He was sec
rotary of the Stryker Library Asso-
citation from its formation in 1881
until the time of his death.
AS secretary he was most faithful
in his attendance at all meetings of
the Board of Trustees as long as his
health permitted. His interest in the
welfare of the Library was unfailing,
and in his death the Library has lost
a friend wise in counsel, sound in
judgement and generous in financial
support.
This page recording the minutes
of this meeting is set aside as mem
Orial to him, and a copy of this test
imonial shall be sent to his family"
###***
1t is said that Mr.. Greene died
without making a will. His interest
in the library was of such a nature
that it was expected he would natur-
ally leave it bequest, or at least
the books in his library. Certain it
is that he contributed literally to its
support during his connection with
it. But it is not known that his fl
nancial condition would have per-
mitted a bequest even if he had made
a will. Still it is the natural assump-
ton that he would have done such
a thing if he had made will, or, as
said before, left his personal library
to the Stryker collection.
The Lambertville Library has been
unfortunate in not having wealthy
friends who remember it in a sub
stantial way. It must depend upon
scattered contributions and occasion
al benifits to gain its bare means Of
existence. There have not been those
to set the pace in a substantial way
to set the pace for smaller benefact-
ors. People are generally generous
to any object that already has friends
and influential support. Let an organ
ization begin once to prosper, and
every one wants to join the process
sion. The Trustees of the Library
must centre upon some plan of ope-
ration that will get the friendship of
someone who can help them in big
way. They must stimulate public in
terest in a commanding way. Theirs
is a worthy Organization infinitely
worthier than many other causes we
have supported in "drives" in Lam
bertville. Concerted action in awak-
ening public attention to the, Library
and its needs will place it on a self
respecting basis and insure its future.

THRUSH CAME BACK TO MATE
But Each Season Returned to
His Life Partner.

Do birds mate for lifer Mr.. W. Fl.
Hudson, the naturalist, discussing the
question in his book Birds of Town
and Village" tells an interesting story
of a pair of thrushes that were true
to their first love.
A woman who lived in Winchester,
England, he says. had among her bird
pensioners in the garden Of her house
a female thrush that grew tame
enough to feed at the dining-room
table. The thrush, paired and bred
for several seasons In the same garden,
and each brood of young ones too,
were tame and would follow their
mother into the house TO be fed. But
the male was too shy ever to venture
In.
The first year that he appeared the
woman noticed that he had a wing
feather that stuck out, owing probably
to a malformation of the socket. Each
year after the breeding season the
male vanished. and the female remained
alone during the winter months /;
but in the spring the male came back
the same bird with the same unmis-
taxable projecting wing feather. 1t
is certain that he had gone far away /;
otherwise he would have returned to
the garden, where there was food in
abundance during the spells Of frosty
weather. As he did not appear, it is
possible that he migrated each year
to a warmer climate beyond the sea.

HIGH SCHOOL is A SHORT CUT.

All this does not mean that you can
not possibly be a financial success
without high shcool education. You
can. You can also kindle a fire with
out matches, and you can build a
house without nail, but you won't
do either of these things if you can
help it. Neither, if you think straight
now, will you attempt to build your
life, without that most useful of tools,
a good education.
New times, new education.
This is becoming truer and truer
every year. Frankly, fifty or hun
dred years ago, there wasn't the need
for an ducation that there is today.
Remember that, when people begin
to tell you about the Carnegies and
Edisons and other famous men who
never went to high school.
There We're two reasons for this.
In the first place, high schools
weren't so common then, and there
were therefore fewer trained men
against whom boys had to compete.
In the second place, civilization has
progressed so far and become so COM
pick in the last half-century that we
must study a great deal harder than
ever simply to keep abreast of the
times. Knowledge of electricity and
Edison, for instance, "sort of grew
up together" but just look at all the
phases of the subject pupil must
master now before he can become a
electrical engineer! A hundred years
ago, any man who knew the road
could drive stage coach now look
at the traffic experts, photographers,
engineers, all of them trained workers
needed to run a railroad company!
High School CHARGES for success.
High school is not, however cure
all for all evils. Some people seem to
think it is an insurance company. Can |
boy enroll then, by paying in the
smallest possible premiums in real
study and interest, BE absolutely |
safeguarded from futuri failure? No |
indeed! Failures are frequent. Not |
all successes are high schoal gradn-
ates, and neither are all high school
GRADUATES successes. Against your
failing no one but yourself can insure
you.
Instead of being an insurance con-
,ern, HIGH school is stock company. |
Your returns depend upon what you
invest. Some boys go to high school
without investing anywhere near
their best effort; no wonder they draw
cut the smaller dividends. But even
they are apt to do better in after life |
than the hard working, earnest, gram
mer graduate who never went to high |
school, because they will be more well
come in business. With a few excep-
tions they will benefit because of other
investments in the high school life
they share.

LUXURIES VS.. EDUCATION.

In 1920 the United States blew away
in smoke of cigars and cigarettes
$500 100000 more than the total cost
of education in 1918, according to P.
P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Ed
ucation. The total cost for tobacco in
all it's forms, in 1920 was five times
the total of teachers salaries in 1918
and almost exactly the same as the to-
tai cost for elementary and secondary
education for the three years 1916, 49,
II and 1918. If the people who use to-
bacco had smoked two cigarettes in
stead of three, two cigars instead of
three, taken two "chaws" instead of
three, and two dips instead of three
/, and had paid to the support of the
schools the money thus saved for the
year the salaries of teachers in schools
of all grades, public and private, could
have been increased more than 100
per cent.
The people paid $50,0O0,000 for
chewing in 1920, 2 1-2 times the to-
tai expenditure for normal schools
and almost exactly the same as all
state and city appropriations for
higher education. The amount paid
for jewelry is nearly $100,000,000 more
than the salaries of teachers in ele-
mentary and high schools in 1918.
According to government returns
for 1920 the people spent twenty two
times as much for Injuries that year
as they spent for education in 1918,
and six billions, or thirty per cent
more than we have spent for public
education in all our history. The a
mount paid for face powder, cosmetics
and perfumes is only $12,000,000 less
than the total amount expended for
public, elementary and secondary ed
ucation in 1918 and within $50,000,000
of twice the total amount paid tea
cheers in public, elementary and Sec
ondary schools. In food luxuries we
ate UP in a single year more than the
salaries of all school teachers for the
first eighteen years of this century.
