Governor Sulzer having signed the Blaovelt Bill in which the use of pub¬ lic schools for social centres and agri¬ cultural purposes and schdol property for athletic purposes is authorized, it teems likely that at the annual meet¬ ing on May 6 the voters Will authorize the Board of Trustees to open the school building for political meetings, registration, primaries and elections, if proper requests are made. .This Blauvelt Bill is in accord with a state- ];nent of Governor (now President) Wilson in his laat message to the New Jersey Legislature. President Wilson declares that a great movement has apn>ng up in this country in recent years which centers around the school- house as a place of neighborhood con¬ ference in all matters affecting the pablic or any local partofit> "It is known as the social centre movement It has the force and momentum in it Secret forces, corrupt forces, forces of eyil of every kind, are against it, are afraid of it They fear neighborhood discussion. They do not wish to have local and neighborhood matters can-  aased too much out loud. It is our duty as public servants to lend full and effectual aid to this movement A very simple statute will accomplish the desired result The free forces of i>o- eiety will do the rest"

The annual Arbor Day exercises of the schools will be held Friday, May 2, 1918.
In this connection the letter sent out by A. S. Draper, State Commissioner of Education, is well worth publishing at this time:
Arbor Day in its broad significance has far outgrown the though of its founders. In its beginning it signified little more than the planting of a tree. Today it is closely related to the whole "out-of-door" movement.
The great improvement in the ap¬ pearance of school grounds during the last few years has been a direct result of the observance of Arbor Day. Only a few years ago in our larger villages and cities little thought was given to the grounds surrounding the school. Today, however there are few schools in the State, even in the rural com¬ munities, where there is not a real pride in the school surroundings.
Such pride is proper. There is as real educational value in well-kept grounds as there is in appropriate deco¬ rations in the schoolroom. Schoolboys and girls will become stronger and bet¬ ter men and women through the almost unconscious influence of the beautiful in nature.
Arbor Day should be a day of begin¬ nings, which should last through the entire year. If a tree or shrub is ¦pilan,t«d. .U.,mu9l. ..he. givffM,. ffarft,.. ,ThR, setting of the roqta in the soil is only the first step. The necessary water¬ ing, the placing of guards and the watching against injurious insects and other enemies give opportunity for the exercise of constant, intellit"int thought. Without continuing through¬ out the year the v/ork begun on Arbor Day, the whole effort is lost and the lessions of real worth forgotten.
The question is often asked, "What trees shall we plant?" Select the trees of your own locality. It is a most in¬ teresting study to search out the im¬ portant species in any given section of the State and to note their habits. The list in many cases will be long and will include many ornamental trees. Such excursions might well be made the nat¬ ure study work during the spring months and also furnish excellent ma¬ terial for classroom exercises With the vast inroads which are being made upon our forests it may be only a few years until the virgin forest will be only a memory and our excursions will be limited to cultivated forests and ornamental trees.
We are only beginning to appreciate the great- beauty of shrubbery. It not only has a distinct value in lawn treat¬ ment but may be used very effectively where trees would be undesirable. Shrubbery, or hedges, may be found today on many school grounds and doubtless the use of these will soon become much more general.
In selecting a special theme as has been done the past few years it is not the thought to limit the exercises in any way to the subject chosen. Local conditions may be found which; will render an entirely different program of much more value. The school garden may be the center of outdoor activity. If BO, let this be emphasized. It may be that the addition of small shrubs or hedges may add something in an orna¬ mental way. This feature of school work which in so many plaees has giv¬ en both pleasure and profit is doubtless a result of the Arbor Day movement. School gardens are daily teaching les¬ sons which can be learned only by actu¬ al contact with nature and with the soil.
In tho observance of the day make use of any material at hand from which the best results may be secured. This may relate to the general appearance of the school grounds, ornamental trees, shrubbery, the school garden, the study of agriculture, fruit trees of the locality, the farm woodlot or even the more general subject of our forests. The vital point is not so muoh the'spe¬ cial subject considered asthe relating of the day to the real activities of the life'of your community. The work be¬ gun on Arbor Day, even though it may be the mere planting of a vine, mnst be only a beginning. The results must be enduring.
A. S. Draper,          Commissioner of Education.
