NJ. & Nj. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Study OF Botany

One part of our education which
has ofttimes been neglected in the
past, is the study of botany. BY re-
quest of several pupils this course
has been offered to us this year, and
Judging by the interest shown dur
ing these first few days, it will re-
main a part of our education. Some
of the phases of this subject which
enable us to understand the beau
ties of nature that we see each day,
are physiological processes Of plants,
classification of plants, study of
fungi, various plant diseases and
geology of plants With the use of
the text book and through the eff
cient work of our instructor in this
subject, great benefit will be real
lied by each pupil.

An American engineer has Invented
a timepiece which not only keeps per

dreary isolation. near some stream or
lake. where II does not tar him too
severely to find good grass. In this
new stage OF his existence he seems
TO have completely lost his courage
Frightened at the rustling OF a leaf,
he is the very incarnation of nervous
ness and suspicion. Solitude. foreign
TO his whole nature. has changed him
into new creature.
Nobody ever saw one OF these mis-
eruble or foriorn creatures dying a
natural death or ever heard Of such
an occurrence. The cowardly coyote
and the gray wolf had already marked
him for their own; and they rarely

ipancierS assailed as enemies of the
public good, using their power selfish
ly to advance their own purposes.
No nation or people ever achieved
greatness without the assistance of
finance accumulated capital, man
aged and directed by those skilled in
the handling of wealth and money. Ac-
cumulated resources are represented
at times by boards OF gold, but more
productive agencies.
America measures her resources In
terms OF billions of dollars. She has
thousands OF prosperous homes. myri-
ads OF we'll developed villages and
towns. thousands OF miles OF railroads
and paved roads. This has been pos
sible Through the Investment and use
OF capital, or wealth created and 40
cufnulated by the citizens.
When the carly pioneers hrst trav-
eied over the prairies. which arc now
rich and productive fields. their rs-
sources consisted only OF 4 productive
soil. q healthful climate, and the sun
shine and rain necessary to tho growth
OF vegetation.
As the early settlers wrought and
produced and prospered. they saved.
These savings they invested In che
tools OF production - plows. harrows.
binders, stores. railroads, banks and
manufacturing enterprises. THESN
SAVINGS FINANCED" PROGRESS.
The building OF the railroads was tho
great outstanding contribution of
finance to the development OF the West.
The West owes a debt of gratitude to
the Investors IN eastern states who
ventnred to invest their money In vir-
gin territory. making possible develop
ment by the use OF their accumulated
resources.
Bank deposits represent very large
ly the savings of the people. The loans
they make possible are employed in
productive enterprises. The develop
ment OF the agricultural communities
depends very largely upon the credits
extended by investors in other com.
munities. The development OF munic-
ipalitles Is possible very largely
through the sale OF municipal bonds To
Investors in other places. All this ia

MONKEY KISSED ITS MOTHER
Writer Tells OF Human-like Scene OF
SImian Affection in Burma
Forest.

In Burma we had monkey tribe
that were called locally human; gray
black-faced tree dwel.ers, says W. A.
Fraser in the Saturday Evening Post.
The males, as they looked down at one,
the black, face surrounded by white
whiskers, always wore puzzled. plain
tive look.
They were lengthy of limb, long OF
tail and light-bodied, built expressly for
their node of travel which consisted
in racing to the top of tree and shoot
ing out in a flying leap downward TO
the limb of another-the tail. us II 1t
did the trick automatically twisting
about the limb with grip quite strong
enough to suspend the monkeys body.
In these flying leaps and in the race
up the tree, the monkey babe always
lay fiat, sIung under the mother, its
paws grasping the mothers fur.
Once, standing quietly on jungle
path, | saw,a female of this tribe sit
ting on a limb with her back toward
me. Behind her on the limb baby
monkey about quarter grown was
skylarkins, pinching his mother and
trying to tie knot In her tail. sud
denly | saw him stand up, put his front
paws under the mothers chin, pull her
head over backward and kiss her. The
mother, her heart full of affection, |
fancy, was delighted. for her head went
over willingly and she rubbed the
baby's cheek with her own.
