sense OF loyalty or of charitable
duty. Virtue, like vice, grows by
" hat it feeds on And, quite SIM
ilarly, why should not parallel at
titudes be generated by a parallel
conduct between one or more ma
tions and other nations? II a long
tradition of help exist, will it not
prove more than precedent?
Will it not generate just the atti-
tudes above compared?
This may be moot question,
tor the dynamics of collective psy-
ehology are not yet very we'll un-
derstood. 1t may also be little
off the point raised by Washing
tons above quoted conclusions OF
190 years ago, though the lines of
thought involved are necessarily
kindred. For what Washington
feared was not so much occasion
al alliances in emergency, or occa-
sienal international fayors, as
permanent relations likely to gem
crate a habit of expectation OF
favors. mutual or otherwise.
Certainly Washington's words
are still worth pondering.

INCOME FROM
STATE FORESTS.
SaIvaging and Marketing Material
Removed.

The income derived by salvag-
ing and marketing material re-
moved for the development of
New Jerseys State owned forests
is showing a decided increase
each year." is a statement issued
by State Forester, C. P. Wilber,
cf the State Department of Con-
servation and Development.
Mr.. WILDER points out that the
forests acquired by the State are
of poor type, as it is the function
of the Forestry Division to re-
claim and make profitable all I'M
developed woodland. Trees are
removed from time to time to pre-
vent ,crowding and unhealthy tim
Der and timber damaged by fire
are cleared out. BY salvaging
and marketing this waste materi-
al, New Jerseys forests are con-
tributing toward the cost of their
up-keep.
While the income is small in
comparison to the cost of devel-
opment, it is increasing each year.
This speaks highly of the effort
OF the Forestry Division to re-
claim and develop New Jerseys
forests at a minimum cost to the
tax payer.

PUT LIBRARY IN LEGION
HOME.


Aug. %, '26.
Editor Pleasantville Press:
Dear Sir: Pleasantville City has
a Free Public Library, consisting
of thousands Of books, presided
over by a competent librarian, To-
Gated in the High School building.
Because of this location, many
believe this to be the school IL
brary.
Soon there will be added anoth-
er thousand books from the Coun-
ty Travelling Library. The libra
nv and it's demand have already
outgrown the present quarters.
A larger room and reading room
in connection would be of great
advantage to the entire communl-
ty.
Most cities of the size OF Pleas
antville have a Free Public Libra
ry building. We certainly ought
to have a prominent and suitable
place for our City Library. A
reading room is a real need. Why
not provide a permanent home for
the library with reading-room in
the new home to be built for the
American Legion?
A progressive city of the size
of Pleasantville should have a IL
brary of which they are proud,
and since it is hardly probable
the library can have a home all
it's own, and since it must soon
have larger quarters than where
it is now located, the logical
thing would be to provide for this
Free Public Library-which be-
longs to the city-in the American
Legion Home now being planned.

NEW JERSEY CHILDREN
SEEK HIGHER EDUCATION.

Ninety thousand children are
enrolled in the public high schools
of New Jersey, and every 10 years
since 1890 the high-school popu-
lation of the State has doubled.
Seventy per cent. of those who
complete the elementary course
enter the high school. From 50
TO 40 per cent. of all graduates of
four-year high schools enter in
stitutions of higher learning, and
about 40 per cent. receive some
form of vocational training. About
40 per cent. of women graduates
of four-year high schools of New
Jersey expect to enter the teach
ing profession.

ATHLETICS AND STUDIES.

Does the pursuit of athletics
! while a student i'll attending col
| lege interfere with his work, and
| in many cases prevent him from
getting marks that rate as high
as the student who devotes all OF
his time to study? The question
has been discussed both ways,
and there are examples that tend
to prove either side of it.
However, Leslie Bryan, mem
Der of the faculty of the College
of Business Administration, and
the administrative and athletic
offices of Syracuse University,
made last spring a thorough study
of the academic work of the 344
students who had obtained block
letters while attending the univer-
sity from the football season OF
1918, until the close of the basket
ball season of 1926
OF these 344, there were gradu-
ated 1877, (57&tN, while 72 (21@6)
are potential graduates still en-
rolled in the various colleges-a
total of 1870, which is a much
higher per cent. than the portion
e 44 rffe average freshman class
reaching graduation.
Seventy-six (22@o) left for vari-
Gus reasons; AZ left for their own
accord, reason unknown, but the
majority oil these was in 1913
1919. during the war; 13 trans
ferred: 13 failed and 3 were dis
missed.
Other significant items from the
report: "Of the 344 individuals,
only At duplicates appeared, show
, ing that the 2 or 3 sport athlete
is the exception rather than the
rule.
"The trend is decidedly upward,
remarkably so. One or two glar-
ing instances appear during the
unsettled war period of rather
questionable practices.
at appears in talking with rep
resentatives of other colleges
concerning their eligibility rules
! that we are more severe than the
average.
This survey shows that our
rules are enforced with reasona
bleness, impartiality and thor
oughness."
A summary of the grade points
for the years of 1923-24 shows
/ the general average to be between
G. and B.
The sports listed include foot
ball, basketball, baseball, track,

Letters To The Editor

few days ago on business, was
surprised by the change which
has taken place in the past few
weeks.
On a previous visit the court
room was in very poor condition,
seemed dark and dingy. Now it
is a larger room, has nicely
painted railing separating the
Recorders desk from the seats of
spectators, nice park benches ar
ranged in order, and provides a
place for an office for the Chief
of Police.
With the growth of the city, and
the increasing amount of business
being taken to the police court, it
needs such a room as is now pro-
vided.
Allow me to pay a compliment
to the Recorder, William B. Ste
phens, who treated me and every
one who visits him with conside-
ration.

Kept Secret Several Days.
A $4,000 jewel robbery has
been disclosed by DR.. NGustav
Vanlennep, of Merton, Pa, who
is spending the summer in a New
Jersey avenue cottage, known as
the Spanish Bungalow"
The robbery was committed
some time Saturday evening. The
jewelry, consisting of diamond
rings, bracelets, pearl necklaces
and brooches, was lying on Mrs.
Vanlennep's bureau in her room,
and there being no indication that
windows or doors were forced
the inference was that it was an
INSIDE job" Information was
withheld until detectives called to
the house had opportunity to in
vestigate. The Vanlennep home
at Merton was robbed. several
years ago, but. the loss at that
time was not so great. Informa-
tion as to what progress had been
made in the investigation was
withheld by the household.

CITY AND COUNTRY HOMES

1t is a pleasant picture OF coun-
frv life which John Erskine pre-
se,lts in the July Century.
."To be born" he writes, IN
the same house as your fathefs'
70 see your children playing III
the fields OF your own boyhood'
IN enjoy the shade of trees plant
ed bv men now long dead, to set
out Young sapplings with some
confidence that they will benent

gone-this raises your private
love affair 10 a dignity above city
romance; it makes your wedding
of some Importance to the stream
OF human fate; it helps you 10
guess that you and your beloved
are less original than you sup
posed, and your passion less per-
sonal-nature having included
YOU in her program"
It is easy 10 agree with Mr..
Erskiue. a Nation is fortunate
when its taproots are imbedded
deeply in homes. To its country
side England largely owes its
strength. One cannot think OF
French farms which have been
handed down from one generation
to another for more than a thous-
and years without being conhdent
tbat France will come through her
present difficulties.
Nevertheless, if city life mas
not the associations which coun-
try life affords, it still has given
To the world most of the modern
conyeniences of homes. Perhaps
il is the very lack of associations
with fields and streams and trees,
the very lack of memories which
are an essential part OF nome,
that has permitted the city home
to change and thus open the way
10 improvements which, materi-
ally at least, have made living
vastly easier in both city and
country.

yocate of country life must admit
