The battle of Princeton was fought
144 years ago. 1t was not one Of
the great battles of the Revolution
considered from the point OF men
engaged or Of fatalities, for there
we're only sixty British and thirty
Americans killed. 1t was, however,
one Of the most important of the
war so far as strategic advantages
and moral effect were concerned.
Unlike many of the engagements in
which WASHINGTON had personal
command. the Princeton battlefield
has been all these years without a
commemorating lonument of any
sort. Recently granite markers were
placed at important points on the
field and to-day these will be dedi-
Gated in joint exercises conducted by
the town OF Princeton, the university
and various historical and patriotic
societies.
The alumni of the university aud
many pror iinent residents of Prince

have for several years been consider
ing a scheme for a Princeton battle
monument. Thus far these plans have
not matured. The placing of the mark.

Helping French Children.
DIR. Holt Tells Of the Benefits OF
Open Air Schools.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: was
much gratified TO read your editorial
article on open all schools and particu-
larly the reference to the fact that sIch
schools are about TO be established In
France.
AS you are doubtless aware. an organ
ization has been formed In this country
for the development of this idea for the
children of France in the devastated
regions.
BY tradition and custom the French
are rather averse to fresh air, although
one Of the results of the war has been
that they are gradually becoming edu-
Gated to appreciate it's value.
The Franco-American Union for Open
Air Schools is working in active cooper
alton with the French Ministry and a
programme has already been established
to carry on this idea of public open air
schools
A combination Of fresh air. good food
and rest, it Is believed. will do much to
restore the delicate, nervous. angmic
children of the devastated districts to
something like normal condition men
tally and physically.
The open air school has long since
passed the experimental stage in this
country. Such schools established in
France will not only improve the health
of the few but will serve as demonstra-
tion to that entire country Of the value
Of an idea which has proved of such
great advantage to the children of the
United States.
