SURROUNDINGS
DEPEND ON OURSELVES

The Great Five that everyone needs
for efficient development are good air,
pure water, wholesome food and
healthful surroundings, according to
Mrs. Ida S. Harrington, specialist in
home management of the State Agri-
cultural College: Thus, she goes on
to say, the home may make or mar the
success Of the family it shelters.
We who live in the home form each
others surroundings. How forgetful
we are of the fact that it is our per-
sonal concern to keep them healthful!
Children who swop chewing gum
land incidentally germs) are excusable
because they don't know any better.
But when mothers handkerchief does
duty first for her shifting self and
then for several not yet snif1ling
children, it is a penny-wise saving of
the steps needed to get fresh handker-
chiefs and a pound-foolish infection of
the children.
When someone reading a borrowed
book vets the thumb again and again
before turning the page does he stop
to think what he is doing. How star
tied he would be if his saliva could
suddenly be colored bright blue.
Or suppose it is a roll of bills that
is being counted. The dirtier the bills,
the more they stick; and the more
they stick, the more often the thumb
must be moistened. Has anyone ever
wondered, who did it last? Who will
do it next? And who will reap the
accumulated harvest?
A woman put into her mouth the
five cent piece received in change from
a street car conductor wondered at
the shout of laughter from the other
passengers. That five cent piece has
passed form the hand of a chinaman
to the hand of the conductor to the
mouth of the
"Who did it last?"
1t is the sum of these seemingly
little things that mar community
health and efficiency.

COUNTY SCHOOLS
Asbury Park and Atlantic City Com
pared with Wildwood

The Department of Public Instruc-
ton of the State of New Jersey has
recently issued a statement on the cost
of education per pupil and the average

year high schools for the school year

Cape May City had the highest cost
per pupil, $93.3S and Woodbine was
lowest paying only $41.12 per pupil.

and below Ocean City, Middle Town
ship and Upper Township.
No n of these districts employed
men in the first four grades of the
school: The highest average salary to
women in grades IA was $1,299 at
Ocean City. Wildwood was in third
place with $1,044 and Woodbine was
