ELEMENTARY AGRICULTURE IN
NEW JERSEY SCHOOLS

AS shown by records of the State
Department of Public Instruction,
school principals in man, of the SUI
burban districts of New Jersey are
rapidly becoming interested in the
teaching of elementary agriculture to
children of grammar grades. Work
OF this kind has just been established
at West Orange. Through the efforts
of Superintendent S. G. Strong and
the members of the Board of Educa-
ton a course of study dealing with
agriculture has been formulated and
Mr.. r. J. Potter, a practical farmer
and an experienced teacher, has been
employed to supervise the work. This
year Mr.. Potter will give instruction
to all the children in 9Th and 9Th
grades. He will meet each room once
a week and conduct lessons that will
show the children something about
where and how the farmer produces
food for the nation. He will stress
home gardening, and in order that the
children shall acquire a practical
knowledge of garden culture he will
urge each child to plant and care for
a home garden and will visit the
homes from time to time to help with
the work.
Instruction in agriculture in the ele-
mentary schools is not one of the So
called new fads in education. 1t has
been tried out in many places and has
proven to be a success, provided the
man employed to conduct the work
knows how to interest children in liv-
ing things. In reality this kind of in
struction is nature study, and what is
more, it is nature study of the best
kind. The children not only learn
about nature, but they learn how
nature in the great growing living
plants and animals of the farm pro-
vide us with our daily food supply.
School teachers at times criticize
such work because they say it takes
too much of the school time of the
children. Such criticisms are made
without giving the matter much
thought, however, for with the plan
followed at West Orange, only one
school period a week is devoted to the
work, the other time devoted to the
instruction is after school and during
the summer vacation-time that the
child can we'll afford to devote to such
work

A. Pioneer is some who goes before, as
into the wilderness, preparing the way for
others to follow"
It is not always necessary that he wear a coonSkin
cap and carry a rifle.
When the young Alexander Graham Bell f%orty-six
wears ago first sent a voice over a wire by means OF an
electric current he was a Pioneer, going forth into the
little known wilderness of electrical science.
Since that day every development of the telephone
has been a pioneering feat. There have been no guide
posts to point out the way; no route maps to show
which were the smooth roads and which the rough ones.
And Bell Telephone pioneers" who are today plan
ming for millions of subscribers five, ten and twenty
years hence are preparing the way for others to fol-
low"
Every community served by the Bell System profits
by this arrangement. A discovery in California, Texas
or Maine is at once available right here IN our own
state. If the pioneers in our company find something to
improve telephone service it is at the disposal OF every
office in the system where it might properly be used.
Only by such an organization has the Bell System
of today been made possible, and only by its continu-
ance is future progress assured.

AUTOS AND HIGnMAYs.

Two important propositions are to come before the general assembly at the coming session and both are prompted by the automobiles.
 Because of the large amount Of mo- tor trafic on the road betwen Bridge port and New York, and the large pro- portion of slower moving vehicles to the faster ones, there is advanced the Idea Of building an entirely new high way between the cities for the purpose Of taking care of the traffic and reduc- ing the liability of accidents. The aim would be to have the trucks use one highway and the pleasure vehicles the other. though the difficulty os enforcing such an arrangement would be appar. ent. This of course means a further dis. elimination in favor of the motor trucks over the railroads in the matter of transportation since the roads are obliged to build their own lines ana pay taxes for that which is provided fol the motor trucks doing the same bust. ness
 Another proposition, and one that 1: advanced by the motor vehicles oon missioner, Is to establish a court for tn, purpose of dealing with the cases. ar:s ing from the automobiles. There art communities where much business re suits from that reason. Traffic court would indicate a specialization in tha 4lne of offenses with view to speedin: action and the dealing out of justice t all concerned, without the wide variet! of fines that are imposed today.
 That there will be other bills con corning the automobile is to be expect ed There is seldom session of tn legislature without such matters get ting their share of attention, but it re mains to be seen whether Connection Is prepared to go into the heavy expen ditures that would be involved by thes TWO leading measures which have thu vA6en more or less oennite shape.

Frequently do wA come face to face with the matter of high prices without understanding the reason for such. To- day people will poin: out the marked difference between the price for various kinds of lumber in comparison with what was paid some years ago. The change is decided, and not only that but 1t is in good way to become much worse unless steps are taken to over come one important reason for 1t.
 There is in session in Boston this week $ congress of the foresters of New England and they are putting etnphas's upon this very matter and endeavorinE lo bring the people of the New England states to a realization of the conditions that greater action may be taken tc overcome them. It is to great extent . reiteration of the old story of de- nuded New England hillsides and de- pendence upon other states for the lurn' Der required while the amount of waste land continues to increase. It is ont of the ways in which New England must give consideration to the nainte' nance of it's industries. New England ls producing less than a billion and ( half board feet of lumber and million and a half cords of pulp wood, but I! per cent of the lumber utilized is op tained from outside, some from tn, other side of the country.
 It is frequently pointed out that theri are plenty of trees to be seen. but a the rate the wooded areas are disap bearing the supply of lumber and pull wood will be exhausted in S2 years Much can be done in the way of nev growth in that time if an extensive ef tort is begun now in the way Of re forestation. It is a situation tha loesn't warrant further delay. Not onl, ao we need the lumber but there !: quite as good need for converting tn waste land into dividend produc:ni tracts. Likewise the opportunity o overcoming the huge transportation ex pense involved in getting lumber iron distant points is not to be overlooke when it is realied that in Conneeticu alone something like three million oo. lars are spent yearly for transportin the imported. lumber.
 The foresters are placing much etn phasis upon the situation but they hay every reason for doing So. Properl presented facts do much if getting need d results.

took one side of the road and the oth- CT. Not knowing the cows name we had an awful time calling her.
 There wasn't sign of the animal. We kept walking faster and faster for a mile and half. If 1t takes a cow an hour to navigate a certain distance tied to the back of a buggy it gets me how she can return over the same road in half the time because that is what this COW certainly did. When we came to lighted farmhouse we dashed in and told our sad story, and the noble farmer and his hired man man joined us and We at last discovered the Guernsey eating a dried hazel bush near the farm she had started from.
 And they drove us back, too, leaGing 1 the COW through the dark, to where we had tied our horse and buggy. The horse had gnawed fence plank in two and the l chickens were gone. had disembarket 1 in such haste that guess one of us stepped on the crate and cracked a lath and trust those indignant hens to tunne a way out!

 At the same, time the senate adopted resolution offered by Senator Harris democrat, Georgia, expressing pleasure and joy" at his recovery toward health The former president spent his birth. day quietly. For an hour or more a group of men and women stood in the
 rain in front of his home, hoping thai he might appear to greet them, but all they saw of the wartime president, was
 a glimpse Of him as he drove off in his
 limousine late in the day for his daily ride.
