LANE SUGGESTS REVISION PLAN
 FOR NEXT YEAR
Recommends Discontinuance of Junior High School
 as Unsatisfactory.

Reorganization Of tho two high schools in the local pi,blic schools Is recommended by Supt. John F. Lang in his final report of the school year just closed. to the Juneau School Board. The report declares that tho Junior High School department ''has proved unsatisfactory in several ways" and recommends that the sys- tenn be discontinued, tho first two classes added to the elementary de- partment and tho ih.rd class put i'll tho high sehcol section.
 Superintendent Lang also recon mends that the normal school courses bc dropped from the curriculum of the high school for the rcoson tha. "the expense Of maintonance is too great per e1p.ta sslduate" Terri torial funds formerly available for schools giving normal courses wore cut off in 1921 and the last Lcgis- lature made 10 provision to restore Territorial aid. Tho courses were maintained at the city's expense and the cost. 1t is held, was tco large for tho results achieved.
 Tests Show Good Work
 Tho scholarship in the high school, as indicated by various tests, was well above the average for the coun- try at large. In this connection the report said: "A large number of standardized tests were given in the high school. In practically all Of these tests the class rlelian Is fur above the standard median."
 With compulsory physical cduca- tion required in the elementary de- pertinent and junior high school, cx- corlent work was done during the past year, it is stated. The keen interest taken in tho elementary school is evidenced by the fact that Juneau won the baeketball tourna- mont and track meet for elementary grades in the Secord Annual Inter- School Meet held hore in April in which several schools participated,
 Gratifying results were reported in the English department, history. com mcrcial, languages, music and art, and others. A crowded condition is reported in the science and mathe- matics department nccessitating a d. vision of al least one class. Addition of two-year course in French is recommended to the language de

Cooper's Birthplace Purchased
by Burlington County IN. J9
Historical Society.

Burlington. N. 1.-THE birthplace
here of James Fenimore Cooper. first
Of American novelists, whose Leather
stocking Tales Of early settlement life
have been read the world around for
the last century, has been purchased
from private owners by the Burling-
ton County Historical society, and will
be reopened as an historic shrine on
the one hundred and thirty-fourth an
niversary of Cooper's birth.
Little known Incidents in the life OF
Cooper have been brought out by the
restoration of hissbirthplace, which has
sheltered many different families since
he was born there September Is, 1883.
Few there are who knew that Cooper
was sailor before he was writer.
1t Is coincidence that he and Capt.
James Lawrence were born next door
to each other here on South High
street, where both houses still stand In
good state of preservation. Lawrence
was quite boy when Cooper was born.
Whether they ever met Is conjecture
suggested through comparison Of
their biographies, which record that
both Jameses served on the Wasp. The
American navy was hardly big enough
In those days to boast of two ships Of
the same name.
Lawrence entered the navy as a mid
shipman in 1893. Not so much is told
Of Cooper's naval career, but he COM
manded gunboat for time on Lake
Champlain, while Lawrence command
ed in succession the Argus, Vixen and
Wasp. He was aboard the Wasp until
1911. Cooper had also been aboard a
ship named Wasp for some time when
he resigned from the navy in 1911. af-
ter his marriage, to crafty the wish Of
his wife that he remain on land.
Missed the War Of 1912.
Thus 1t happened that James Feni-
more Cooper just missed the War Of
1872, In which James Lawrence won
undying fame by giving the American
navy its fighting motto, "Don't Give Up
the Ship" uttered as his dying words
as he was being carried from the deck
Of the Chesapeake after being mortally
wounded In a naval engagement with
the British frigate Shannon on June
l, 1873.
Coo3er blazed the way for American
fiction writer's, among whom he was
the first ''to extend the domain of flc-
tion over the sea, the prsirie and the
forest" That he blazed the path well
is shown by the fact that during thirty
years he wrote 80 novels, besides other
writings that never became public.

Cities Destro oyed
by Earthquakes

but Rome did have Its quakes, and
some students of history assert that
the large number of Roman palaces
and temples believed to have been
destroyed by the barbarians between
the Fifth and Ninth centuries were
really shaken down by earth tremors.
"The earliest historic searthouake
which caused a tremendous loss of life,
and the most destructive. II the sta
tistics can be accepted, save perhaps
the recent quake in Japan, occurred In
Antioch and nearby towns In Syria
In 526 A. d. This was then city of
some half million or more inhabit-
ants, the capital Of the East, and save
Rome Itself, probably the most i'm
portant city Of the Roman world. In
addition to the residents Of the city,
large crowds were gathered for
Christian festival. The great convul-
sion that shook the city ard the
neighboring towns, and the fires that
followed are said to have caused the
death Of more than 100000 persons"

Home
Becomes Shrine

had moved from Burlington when
James was about year old. He was
the eleventh of twelve children, most
Of whom died in infancy. His father
was Quaker. The settlement around
Cooperstown was in the wilderness
along the upper reaches of the Sus-
quehanna. There James In his boy
hood saw much of wild life and of In
dians and settlers to provide material
for the thrilling books Of adventurs
that he began to write in 1920. The
first work to win him fame was "Tha
Spy," written In 1921. The Leather
stocking Tales were started during
that decade. Few young Americans
there are who have not been thrilled
In the reading of his Pathfinder
"Deerslayer." Last of the Mohicans,"
and others of the series.
The fame and later years of Cooper's
life were clouded by his bitter clashes
with his critics, in which the novelist
wasted much Of his time, energy and
fortune, which, his biographers say.
might better have been devoted to
further literary attainments. He died
at CooperstOwn September IA, 1851,
just the day before his sixty-second
birthday.
To Restore Old Homo.
The Cooper birthplace has long been
cherished among the historical shrines
Of which Burlington has an unusual
wealth. For a century 1t has been
pointed out to visitors as one of the
city's chief places of interest. 1t has
remained under private ownership
during that period, but owners and
tenants have acceded to public senti-
ment and preserved the property
through successive generations with
the greatest care.
True, some of the modern tenants
tore out the mantelpieces which were
an adornment of the Colonial houses in
Cooper's day. A more modern door
was also provided when the old one
wore out. The general appearance Of
the house, however, remains much as
II was when the novelist was born
there. The small panes In the windows
alone are sufficient to distinguish 1t
from present-day homes.
The Burlington County Historical
society has also set about to restore
some of the colonial features of the
old house since 1t purchased the prop
erty. The committee directing this,
restoration is headed by Alice D'Olier.
sister of Colonel Franklin D'Olier.
