A splendid organization of Boy
Scouts is a recent innovation which is
commanding the interest and afford
ing wholesome activities for the grow
ing boys.
The high school courses are we'll
planned and revised according to the
needs of the pupils. The literary
magizine; the camera, science and art
clubs; the music organizations; the
the athletic teams; the class organiza-
tions; and the carefully supervised
formal and informal parties all afford
experiences for an all round athletic,
social and physical development. Fifty
one per cent of our high school gradu-
ates go to institutions of higher learn
ing and "a per cent go to college.
Graduates of our high school are ac-
cepted in many colleges without ex-
animation.
During the past year two classes
in Americanization were well at
tended by about sixty foreign men
and women anxious to learn English
and acquire American ideals in citizen
ship and patriotism. At the closing
exercises of these classes held on
March 31st forty-four were awarded
certificates indicating satisfactory
programs. They were also presented
with small American flags.
A live, up-to-date Parent-Teacher
Association is doing much to harmo-
nize the home and school activities.
On the whole we believe that we
have a good modern system of schools
which is doing it's part in the educa-
ton and development of the future
citizens of our community-George A.

Principal Hall
Tells of Adequate
School System

The schools of the Borough of Cliff
side Park consist of two elementary
schools-Kindergar through sixth
grade-and a high school. The high
school building houses the seventh
and eighth grades and the senior high
school.
The buildings are all modern in
type and in excellent state of repair.
During the past year more than $780,
900 were expended by the Board OF
Education for maintenance and up
keep. In one building new heating
and ventilating system of the first
rank was installed. Good sized play
spaces surround all of the buildings.
1t is true that the buildings are not
adequate in size and that part time
has to be resorted to for large num-
ber of the elementary pupils here as
in many other places throughout the
country, but a building program is
under way and without doubt the uear
future will see all children on full
time.
The Board of Education is made
up of eight business men and one
woman sincerely interested in ed
ucational progress. Every member
conscientiously devotes much valu-
able time and thought to the well
fare of the rapidly increasing num-
bers of children. During the past
four years the enrolment has in
creased approximately 35 per cent.
This indicates the magnitude of prob
lens which face the Board of Educa-
tion. The instructional staff num-
bers 7S especially trained principals
and teachers who devote themselves
untiringly to their tasks.
Special attention is given to pupils
who are mentally slow, normal or
very bright by grouping them accord
ing to ability. Opportunity classes,
regular mid-year promotions and
double promotions make it possible
for children to develop mentally in
accordance with their abilities. Modern
types of standard and school tests,
also careful supervision on the part
of the teachers are, used in grading
and promoting pupils.
Excellent supervision of the health
is provided for in the employment Of
part time physician who is a
specialist in childrens' diseases; also
a part time dentist, two full time
nurses, two full time and one part
time teachers of physical education.
Many children are given corrective
exercises and all are carefully guided
in the standards of healthy living.

BY MRS. GEORGE A DONALDSON

A story of vision, modern miracles,
and abounding faith and trust is the
true story of an unsual home for chill
dren which stands amid the woods of
the Palisades, south of Main street,
Fort Lee, and opposite 140th street,
New York, with the Fort Lee ferry
trolley running past the door, a neigh
Dor to that great city, as well as to
many Jersey towns, we are learning
to love their new neighbor and to
aid in it's work.
There in the beautiful modern man.
sion, formerly owned by DR.. O'Neal,
live eighty-three children cared for by
a little group whose faith and work
have brought the Christian Orphan
Home to its present place.
twenty-five years ago working
man of Jersey City, student and
reader of the Bible, had vision of a
hill crowded with little children and
heard the command, "You must care
for these children"
He discussed it with two friends
who were further moved to start such
a work by opening their Bibles to the
command, "Feed the hungry, clothe
the naked, care for the fatherless," :"
and with this foundation and the sum
of five hundred dollars drawn from a
building loan compauy-all their little
savings, they proceeded to found an
orphanage in the abandoned old hos
pital on Magnolia avenue, which stood
with leaking roof and no windows.
Mr.. Nils Manning, the man of vision,
and Mr.. John J. Nelson, both good me-
chanics, made repairs, against many
discouraging circumstances of bad
weather and bad boys, and the work
was slow but their faith sustained
them as they tried and tried to secure
interested support, and finally after
two years they had the place partly
habitable and received four children,
whose number grew in spite of the
fact many a time there was no GER
tainty of dinner or breakfast, but faith
and prayer and work brought some
thing, always, in wonderful ways, and
the little band increased to seventy.
five, and the work prospered in re-
markable way, so that by now six hun
dred young people have been sent out
from it to prove fine citizens because
of the home-like care and the loving
Christian training which moulded
their characters during their most i'm.
questionable years.
During the homes twenty years
stay in Jersey City, the changes OF
heavy traffic, automobiles, ETC., be,
came a menace to the little ones, and
the grounds were very limited, SO
Father and Mother Nelson, who were
it's superintendents, looked for a bet
ter site and found this lovely place
on the Palisades for sale.
But it's price, even at bargain one,
seemed prohibitive. Nothing daunted

the consecrated home group, however,
in spite of their friends fears.
They prayed and worked and in due
time sold their home, so much i'm
proved, for the very sum asked for
the Palisades house with it's seven
acres, and with it the owner included
about two thousand dollars worth of
MS funlture, so that upon entering it
one is impressed with it's appearance
OF tasteful country private home.
A boys dormitory was necessary
and was Immediately added, and this
past year another addition with dining
room and other necessary rooms, and
this has placed large indebtedness,
even with much of the materials and
labor donated, $35,S00 with sidewalk
assessment) on it which is pressing
heavily, because of the sudden death
of it's beloved superintendent, who
was such loving father to the chill
dren as we'll as a capable business
man.
The children range from two years
to about fourteen years.
They attend the public schools, and
are considered among the best be-
haved and best pupils. When they
come home in various little groups they
promptly don their play clothes, as
they have been trained, and have a
good time all over the grounds, with
none of the institutional restraints,
care takers or uniforms associated
nj
attractive crowd.
A very small force cares of the fam
| lily, four nurses, cook and seam
stress, who is a general helper, and the
older children help.
Every year in May comes the re-
union, another unique feature, when
the older boys and girls out in the
world, come back to see each other
and Father and Mother, who have kept
in touch with their successes and trou-
bles.
1t is an encouraging sight, that of
nearly hundred fine looking young
people, some coming from far and
near, with their own little ones now
some with their own automobiles, back
in the home, bringing their contribu.
tlons for the simple supper so that
their foster home will be under nc
expense, and they sing around the
piano, chat and have the same kind
of happy reunion that our own fami
lies would have had, in "reminiscences
Some of the boys have married home
girls, and brothers and sisters meet
again and the happiest kind of air
pervades the big parlors in this the
most unique kind of party.
A couple of years ago they celebrat.
ed the silver wedding anniversary OF
Father and Mother Nelson, and their
foster children gave them a big sur.
prise in a wedding present of a hun
dred dollars.
And now there is only Mother Mel.
son to greet them when they come
again, and more than ever is this
home, with its true home atmosphere
dependent on our help, and it's whole
existence has always depended on free
will contributions. 1t receives nc
state or county aid, but it is unsecta.
rian and ready to help any child at
any time without delay or legalities.
One can visit this home at any time,
and every one who goes there becomes
so enthusiastic that some, notably the
Mayor of it's borough, and those of
several other boroughs, are uniting in
a drive to lessen this burden of debt
the first week in May. What will you
do to help?

DEMOCRATIC CLUB
 GAMBLERS FREED
New York Directs Raiding PO-
 licenen to the Roaring Forties'

New York, Dec. q Pl-Police Comnissioner Enright has struck his irst blow in answer to charges by Mayor Elect Walker that New York City is "wide open" in antlci- patton of the change in administra- ton January 1, when Mayor Hylan ends his eight-year regime.
 More than 2,2O0 men were arrest ed on gambling charges during weekend raids, but virtually all were freed as soon as they were brought into court. Two democratic clubs in the Bronx were among the places raided.
 Magistrate Vitale, dismissing 6S men said he saw mo harm in a so- ciable card game" and advised the police, if they wanted to arrest real gamblers, Ito invade Fifth avenue and the roaring forties."
 Raiding of the democratic club houses recalled that in answering assertions made by George w. Olvany, Tammany Hall chief, in support of MT. Walker, Commits sioner Enright said that if the new administration really wanted to clean up the city, it would put an end to gambling in Tammany clubs.
 The raids were made by Commits sioner Enright's special service squad and detectives and policemen especially assigned to ferret out the truth of the charges made by mayor-elect and denied by the po- lice commissioner.
 A hundred and eighty-two of the men arrested were dismissed i'm mediately. Ninteen were given sus- pended sentences. Seven were held, but on prohibition charges.
 Representative Sol Bloom has sug- gested that Colonel William Mitchell. recently suspended from the army, be made police commissioner of New York in the new administration. Though the mayor-elect made no official announcement, those close to him said Colonel Mitchell would not be considered for the post, be- cause he is not resident of New York, and because the new mayor has said he will not give the job to a professional soldier. Colonel Mitchell at Washington merely smiled when he heard of the sug. gestion.

FEAR OF CAPTURE FATAL ID BANDIT
Keller Dies in Taxi With $50,
 900 Loot in His Lap

Philadelphia, Dec. 2l iPl-Death, hastened by fear of apprehension for bank robbery has written the final chapter In the lawless career of Edward r. Keller, central figure fin the famous McNichol trunk murdes mystery of q decade lago. The end came while he was fleeing In a taxi cab with more than S50,000 in bank notes, gold and checks stolen a few bours earlier from the Corn EX- change bank, where he was em- ployed as night watchman. Phy- sicians said that heart failure. su- porinduced by fear, was the cause.
 Pardoned about a year ago after having served the greater part of his 10 to 12-year sentence for slay- ing Daniel McNichol in 1914, Keller is believed by police to have planned the robbery for some time with an aCcomplice and then to have "dou- ble-crossed his pal" a few minutes before death overlook him. He had y come to this city In 1910 after hav- ing served q siX-year sentence in Sing Sing for footing the funds of the New York City Fire Depart ment association, of which he was a member.
 Keller had been employed at the Corn Exchange bank about four months. He was missed when he failed to ring in on the time clock at one of the regular periods early yesterday. An investigation started by a protective agency ended shortly afterward by the identification of 2 kcller's body at a pcator station.
 He had hailed taXicab after his ordered the driver 10 take him to Broad and Wallace streets. Here he alighted, tapped several times on a window of n house and receiving nc response, reentered the cab and in structed the chauffeur to drive to . Germantown address, Frank Gen cha, the chauffeur said that Keller appeared very nervous and kept drumming first against q suit case that he held tightly between his knees and then against the window that separated him from the driver
 Shortly after the start of the sec ond part of the trip, this drumming ceased and Gencha turned in hi! seat to find his passenger slumpeC forward and apparently unconscious He was dead when a hospital wa! reached. In the suit case were SIS, Ap7 in bank notes and approxi mately S35,000 in checks, and in al iron box which Keller also carrie' were 5000 in gold. Officials of tn bank were unable to explain hoy he obtained the money. X check u showed that $13,S11 in bank note was missing from the bank and DO lice believe that Keller had taken 5 from that part of his loot with tn intention of paying his taXCab fare
 Keller was convicted of man slaughter for the staying of Danit McNichOl q business partner, who's ,;ccomposed body was found jan ne light into q trunk in the basemer of q vacant store on December T. 1915. McNichol, a nephew of th late State Senator James r. Nc Nichol, had been missing for noarl year and a countrywide scare had been made for him.
