Selection of Holiday for
Children.

Children.
Parents who have children in the
public schools OF the city are urged,
if they are considering taking them
out of the schools for out of town
trips of any sort, to keep them
away on Nov. II until the Monday
following, Nov. Is.
At that time, Principal Charles
M. kreSge states, the schools will,
in all probability, be closed to al
low teachers to attend the New
Jersey State Teachers Association
meetings. which will be held in the
Atlantic City High School building.
The state provides that the teach
ers can attend the sessions if the
board of education approves.
Mr.. Kresge wishes to save the
city and taxpayers money, and so
recommends that, as the children
will miss school anyway, the lays
be used for the holiday that would
come If the few days had not. oc-
Cured. For every day the school
child stays away, the city loses so
much money from the state, and
poor attendance makes the amount
lost by the city quite large sum.

THE FRIENDLY TOWN

IT is easy to meet the important
= people of this town. You are not
put off by the doorman or the Sec
rotary. The big men are just as ac-
cessible as the little sometimes
more so. Business is done on friend
~, familiar and democratic basis. The
stranger is not given naughty treat
ment because he is a stranger, nor
the local man because he is local
man.
So people make money in this town.
And when they've made it, what do
they do with it? They leave their
money mostly where it has been
made, giving generously to local en-
terprises, public and private, instead
of dispensing it elsewhere.
Fortunately for America, there are
many such towns.

EVIL OF NOT VOTING

IN AN address delivered few days
I ago to representatives of Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution,
President Coolidge uttered warn-
ing that should engage the serious
consideration Of every American cit
izen. It was a warning against the
alarmingly rapid increase in the fail
ure of citizens to vote. In this tend
ency, said the president. unless it is
checked and supplanted by healthy
interest in elections, is spelled the
certain doom of the republic.
s"The whole system of American
government rests on the ballot box
asserted the president. "Unless citi-
zens perform their duties there, such
a system of government is doomed
to failure
The fact that disregard for the duty
of voting has steadily increased since
1880, was pointed out. In 1896 the
number of qualified voters participat-
ing in elections was 80 per cent of the
electorate. In the 1920 and 1924 presi-
Dental elections the average declined
to less than so per cent, despite or
gained efforts to bring out the vote.
s9The perilous aspect of this situa-
tion," said the president, 'lies in its
insidiousness. With the broadening Of
popular powers, the direct election
of practically all public officials, and
the direct nomination of most of them
there is no opportunity for an ex-
preston of the public will except at
the ballot box.

relationship between individuals be-
come more intricate, the government
becomes more and more important.

RESPECT FOR LAW

DARENTS seem to expect us tc
: teach morals to their children and
it is impossible for us to accept this
responsibility said a director of q
large school system recently. He had
been discussing an escapade involv-
ing number Of high school students
in which the parents had attempted
to lay the blame on the public school
system.
'sMorals," he said, "must be taught
the child before he is of school age.
Teaching morals should start in the
cradle and by the time the child is old
enough to enter school have such a
foundation of respect for his own per-
son that any attempt to lead him es-
tray would only disgust him.
"With this mental attitude the
schools find it impossible to cope. It
not only gives the child a perverted
idea of morals, but it also gives him
a wrong mental attitude toward all
authority which raises a similar bar
between him and his teachers and
later between him and all constituted
authority which he does not hesitate
to beat as he finds the opportunity.
Summing this up brings disrespect
for moral and civic laws back to the
feet of ignorance. It is ignorance of
physical laws which causes the par
ent to put too tight clothing on the
growing child, Or to not keep the
child clean, and it is through ignor-
ance of effect on the mental attitude
of the child that causes the parent to
permit this child to obtain his sex
information on the street.

attack upon it. Whenever the public
scents that it is in danger, it will be
quick enough to give it adequate sup
port. 1t is only the approach to some
silent and unrecognized peril that
needs to give us alarm. We are plac-
ing our reliance on the principle Of
self-government. But if the people
fail to vote, a government will be de-
veloped which is not their govern
ment.'
