THE NURSERY
By Ellen Creelman

Every home, if possible, should con-
tain one room for the child's especial
use. Not that he must always be con-
fined to the nursery, or denied the
privileges of the entire home, but
that he may have the privacy of a
room in which to commence his edu-
cation through play uninterrupted by
many of the activities of the home.
The child should be required to
spend a part of the time in the nur-
sery. This he will gladly do without
coercion, provided he has a pleasant
room, suitable toys and protection
from intrusion as he attempts to de-
velop his mind through play.
There should be a sunny exposure,
good ventilation and low windows pro-
tected against accident. The child en-
joys pictures of the outside world as
seen from the windows. The blue sky,
the wind-blown clouds, rain drops,
wind storms, sunbeams, flowers, trees,
and birds afford him a continuous
source of pleasure. In fact such pic
lures acted upon by his keen imagi-
nation frequently record more vital
and lasting impressions upon the
child's mind than those hung upon the
walls.
The walls and woodwork of the nur-
sery should be finished in soft har-
monious colors, while the utmost
cleanliness and neatness are neces-
sary.
The nursery walls may be relieved
by pictures of interest to the child.
There is a wide selection of suitable
pictures from which to choose. But
there should always be a picture of
Mother and Child" pictures of the
child's near-at-hand environment, hui
man life, plant life, animal life, ma
tural phenomena, also pictures illus
trating nursery rhymes. These should
not be hung Unfortunately upon the
walls, or they may destroy the beauty
of the room. Many pictures may be
picture books.
There should be growing plants in
the window boxes where bulbs and
seeds are frequently planted which the
child may care for. His interest in
them is natural and ought to be cher
ished.
The furniture should be simple, with
the chairs and tables of suitable
height placed correctly as regards the
light. Cushions are useful upon the
floor.
There should be a cabinet with low
shelves and individual places for all
toys and play-materials. Every nur-
sery should contain a sand table.

LONGPORT HAS HIGHEST TAX
RATE IN STATE

Camden's tax rate is the lowest of
any of the larger cities of New Jersey.
This fact was disclosed today in an
announcement by the State Board of
Taxes and Assessment of the average
state tax rate for 1922.
h average state rate is $3.561 on
the per hundred dollars of valuation.
This is an increase of .121 over 1921,
when the average state rate was $3.44.
Camden is only one of the larger
cities of the state which has a rate
under SO. Some of the cities are
over 81.
The State Board uses the average
rate of taxation in it's assessment of
frst-class railroad property, and also
in the assessment of the state tax on
the gross receipts of trolley, gas and
electric companies, which tax takes
the place of a personal property tax.
The average tax rate is reached UNI
der the provisions of the railroad act
by taking the total ratables of all of
the taxing districts of the state and
dividing it into the total tax to be
raised by those districts. The total
valuation for 1922 is 1882, PTS, 41O,
while the total tax to be raised in ap-
proximately $50 districts is $137,160,-
1858.
Longport, Atlantic County, with a
rate of $9.974, has the largest rate of
any taxing district in the state. Bor-
dentown Township, Burlington County,
with a rate of SLIT, has the smallest
in the state. The great majority of the
tax rates are in excess of $3.50 per
hundred dollars valuation.
The tax rates of the largest cities
are: Jersey City, $3.44S; Newark, $3.78;
Trenton, 1922; Camden, $3.50; Pater-
son, 1884; Atlantic City, $3.080; Ho-
boken, SALTS; Passaic, $3.276; Asbury
Park, $4.24; New Brunswick, $4.67;
Perth Amboy, $4.37; Bayonne, $3.11;
Elizabeth, $3.1S; Long Branch, SAB;
South Amboy, 5000.
Some of the exceptionally large
rates are: Cliffside Park Borough,
Bergen County, $3.50; Fairview Bor-
ough, Bergen County, $3.50; Worthwhile
Borough, Bergen County, $6.76; Cape
May Point Borough, Cape May County,
$6.933; Wharton Borough, Morris
County, $6.76; Barnegat City, Ocean
County, 1925.
Some of the smaller rates are:
Princeton Township, Mercer County,
$1.S3; Lower PENIS Neck Township,
Salem County, $2.02; West Milford
Township, Passaic County, $2.14; Hell
meta Borough, Middlesex County,
$2.07; Caldwell, Essex County, $2.12.-

The child should play as frequently
as possible in the open air, and be kept
away from the distractions OF the
street.
The nursery should be an attractive
room, for the child learns more from
incidental impressions than from di-
rect teaching. In fact the child's
whole environment should aid the
natural development of his mind, pro-
tecting him against undesirable i'm
p%ressions, guiding him happily to.
wards the goal of education-good
habits.
Education actually means wealth.
Statistics prove that every addition
al year in school means an increased
earning capacity.
The years between four and six, al
though they are economically worth
less, are of great educational value.
If all of our children could add two
years to their school attendance by
going to kindergarten, it would add
materially to their future prosperity,
besides developing a higher, finer type
of citizenship. s
If no kindergarten has been pro-
vided for your children, write for in
formation and advice as to how one
may be secured to the National Kin
dergarten Association, s West 10th

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1922-05-12

A good example Of how Uncle Joe
could turn the tables on an adversary
in debate is shown in the following
story, vouched for by the Congress
sional Record.
When Roosevelt became President.
he had such a large family that he
needed the entire White House, but a
part of the upstairs was being used as
the executive offices. Roosevelt APP
pealed to Congress and got authority
to build the present executive offices,
adjoining the White House on the
west.
The President got a crowd of New
York architects on the job and it cost
more than Congress had authorized or
anticipated.
1t was up to Cannon, as chairman of
the House Appropriation Committee,
to get the authority for the additional
expenditure, so he brought in a de-
ficiency bill.
AT that time Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike in the House were ready to
rap "T. R." whenever they got a
chance, SO they prepared to slaughter
Cannon and his bill and teach Roose-
vent a lesson.
Uncle Joe brought his bill on the
floor and the fireworks started. He sat
meekly and patiently through two
hours of lambasting. Representative
John w. Gaines, of Tennessee, the wit
of the Democratic side, arose to deal
Cannon's bill the death blow.
He introduced a resolution demand
ing an investigation into the where
abouts of a sideboard which it APP
peared was missing at the White
House.
THAT sideboard," Gaines told the
House, was presented to Lucy Webb
Hayes (wife of President Hayes by
the w. c. T. U. when she had the cour-
age to forbid the use of wines at the
White House. But where is that side
board today? If the chairman (Mr.
Cannon wishes to know, I'll tell him
where it is. That sideboard is in a
saloon on Pennsylvania avenue"
Gaines had made a deep impression
on the House and it looked bad for
Cannon.
However, he was equal to the occa-
sion. Getting up leisurely, hitching
his trousers and rolling up his coat
sleeves in mock seriousness, Cannon
remarked that it was quite proper
that Congress should safeguard all the
ancient White House furniture" and
added.
History tells us that, a century ago,
good Abigail Adams (wife of John
Adams) was wont to do her washing
and hang it in the East Room of the
White House to dry. Mr.. Speaker,
where is that clothes line today?"
The House howled with glee, Gaines
and the opposition were silenced and
the deficiency bill went through with
only a few votes against it.

your money than the Journal at $1.00

ONE OF THE STORIES ABOUT
UNCLE JOE
By LAURENCE M. BENEDICT
United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, May 8.-Probably no
man who ever served in American
Congress was more feared in debate
than Uncle Joe Cannon. Few ever got
the best of him.
Cannon, although an exceptionally
forceful speaker and brilliant in pre-
senting a logical argument, preferred
generally to batter opponents by heap
ing them with ridicule.
The best argument in the world is
no good to the other fellow if you can
get the laugh on him, Cannon believed,
and the theory worked out for him

THE LITTLE OLD HENRY WAS
GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM

Letters asking how to buy it's stock
are a part of the daily mail of every
successful corporation. Usually they
are matter-of-fact inquiries, but once
in a while a dull day is enlivened by a
flash of real human interest" Here
is n such letter, recently received
by the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company:
81 have got a little money loose,
enough to buy a few shares of
American Tel. & Tel. Can I get it
direct from you or do 1 have to
get it through some broker? If I
have to get it through a broker
who is a good one and what
would be his commission? Kindly
answer in a plain envelope. This
is money 1 have hid. If my folks
knew l had it l would have to get
a new a and think the old Ford
is good enough.
