LET MORRIS CANAL BUILD SHIP CANAL

While the legislature is debating the question Of what to do
with the money it receives in taking over the Morris canal from
the Lehigh Valley railroad, it would not be amiss to suggest that
the money that is received through the abandonment of an i'm
practicable waterway be invested in another waterway across the
state that is practicable. In other words, why not take the money
derived from the Morris canal and use it to buy the right of way
\ fer the proposed ship canal that is to be built from Morgan on
Marian bay to Bordentown on the Delaware river? Thus the
money would be kept for the same purpose that it was used before,
only it will be Of some real use to the state and nation. 1t is water
waYmoney, why not keep it sol
IN a sense, it would be merely transferring the waterway from
NJ among the hills where it is useless for modern commerce, to
The low, level land which has already been surveyed for canal pur-
poses.
why not let the Morris canal which is to be abandoned, pay
sssr the right Of way for the new ship canal that is shortly to be

%UNTANGLING CITY ACCOUNTS

Mayor Wilson is still skeptcal about the success of the city do
ing its own garbage collecting. He is quoted as saying that the
garbage and street department appropriations expenditures are so
jumbled and tangled that it is difficult to determine how much
was spent unless | have an accurate report to study" We are
glad to see the mayor taking such an interest in the expenditures
Of the taxpayers money. 1t is particularly gratifying to note that
he dissapproves of the way accounts are jumbled together.
After the mayor has succeeded in having the garbage account
untangled it is to be hoped that he will go right on with the good
work and insist that the account of the electric light plant be
itemized so that it will be possible to learn exactly what this par
ficular feature Of the municipal government is costing, as well as
what is being spent for garbage collection. The fact that the mu-
nicipal lighting plant was established during a Republican admin
istration and the municipal garbage collection was started during
q Democratic administration ought not to make any difference to a
man who has only the welfare of the city at heart.

The phIlosonIly Of PLAY

Play is utterly essential TO nor

play INDUCED in differs as age in
Babies and children under
six years of age require no leaders,
the materials are all they need. Put
before the child his sand, blocks,
small swings, see-saws, and he needs
no further incentive; he Will play,
and he will know how to play. Small
children are rather individualistic
and it is therefore unwise to allow
them to play in large groups.
Primitive man ran, jumped, climb
ed and threw because he had to.
The instinct to still do so is with
us and do it we will; in play. The
child in his development through
play epitomizes the development of
the race. We note also that there
are clearly defined epochs in the
physical, mental and mora develop
ment of the child, and that the de-
velopment and progress is for that
which is Oldest in the promotion of
the race TO the newest.
Play is the expression or awaken
ing interests; it is concerned with
neutrality-suspicious., feeling, acts,
thoughts, imaginings, speech ct Get

that most instincts are implanted
for the sake of giving rise to habits,
is inclusive IN itself. Whether or no
play is due TO surplus energy,
whether or no play is dependent up
on the superiority of energy over
and above the essential need of life,
