Gamblers Wives at Long Branch,

Gamblers wives we're less snowy this
than other seasons at Long Branch, a
fact due to the lack of fresh victims to
their husbands gaming bats. The ups
and downs of a gamblers life shows
more readily in his wife's personal
adornment than any other way. AS a
rule, when the gambler goes under, his
wife diamonds are Immediately pawned;
then follow her driving establishment, if
she has any; finally her valuable furs
and silverware, and not unfrequently
her best silk or velvet dresses, the part
ing with all of which she stands brave
". hopeful of forthcoming streak of
luck to replenish her jewel case. ward
robe and house to more gorgeous ex-
tent than heretofore. Gamblers wives
are very pretty, stylish women, some Of
whom are the most cultured persons,
who avoid all reference to the pursuits
of their ambitious spouses, in company
u on any occasion, while others seem to
glory in boasting of their husbands win
nings. The wife OF very successful
gambler from Arkansas, registered at
the Ocean House here, is very hand

manners and appearance. She wears no

lower departments is submitted for
your consideration. This added to the
four years course 1.-THE High school
makes twelve year course. One aim
in arranging this is to give to each of
tho four lower rooms two years work.
Another aim has been to mark definite
y the work Of each.soom; that Is, that
the pupil must acquire certain we'll
defined degree Of proficiency before en-
tering the room and must do Il certain
well-de6ned amount of work before
leaving the room for q higher depart
ment. Another aim has been that
while the work 0f each room is we'll
defined, considerable of flexibility is
left to the work within the room, leav-
ing it within the province of the teach
er and the principal to organize and
reOrganlZe the classes as should seem
to meet the needs of tho various pupils.
Experience has shown that some
pupils can DO the same work in much
less time than others can. Those should
not be held back; neither should others
be crowded forward beyond their
ability.
The attendance during the year has
been fair, though net 50 good ~ is do
sirable. The iaealsweuldb be that every
one ct school age. whose duties do not
imperatively require them to be at
home, should be in school.
The enrolment in all the rooms
throughout the year was 1928, with an
average attendance of III.
It is very Important to the progress
OF each child that he should be absent
enly from that which is unavoidable.
1t is equally important that a pupil
should not Ike tardy. The amount OF
tardiness though it sensibly diminished
during the year. is still far too great.
The great objection to Hardness is that
it is not only tho time that the pupil
himself Loses by being tardy, but it is
the disturbance he naturally and I'M
avoidably makes on entering the school
Practically all other work ceases when
a tardy pupil enters the school room
l think it may be laid down as a sound
principle that no pupil has right tc
come to school late, and no parent has
a right to send his child late. believe
that as arnle all pupils can he at schoo
on time. During the year there were
in round numbers 500 cases of tardines:
and 200 hours lost. In regard to tardi
ness and absence, my recommendation
is that they be treated rs any Other
offenses, hindering the proper work o.
the school, viz: that for habitual alb
sence or hardness the Principal be: AL
thoriZed to suspend until assured o
reform in that particular.
One feature Of the school will Cal
attention to. viz: the plan Of no recess
From a careful study Of its working
am satisfied that it is better for tn,
pupils in every respect, that there Il
less interruption t" st udy. that th'
pupils are exposed to fewer tempt:.
tions, and that the health Of the pupils
is better cared for.
think that during the year substan
tial progress has been made, and tina
the school may enter upon the mex
school year with an assurance of still
greater progress than at any time dur
ing the past.

NOBLES ALL RIGRT.

MOBILES county this year is in luck.
Crops Of all kinds are good, wheat in
cluded. But there was limited
amount of wheat sown and not great
quantity will be marketed. Wheat, it
IL claimed, will rule low in price, but
this will not affect our farmers much
as they have not much for sale. Flax
will command good price, starting off
1T $1.05, and the farmers will have a
large quantity to market. Hay, too,
will command good price and this
year an unusual quantity has been and
is being put up and will be pressed for
shipment.
. In short, flax, hay, butter and cattle
are our principal articles Of export this
year, and prices will be good OH all
these.

r: Tho railroads are at their old game

THE CAMPA1oN or SCANDAL.

Gen. UoratiO e. King. of Brooklyn,
took the trouble to go to Buffalo and
thoroughly investigated the Cleveland
scandal He found that it was true
that = good many years ago Cleveland
had been intimate with woman who
was intimate with two or three mar
Iied men at the same time. 1t seems
that a child was the result Of this
medley, "the boys got it up among
them,'' as a poor girl once said, and
Cleveland, in order to shield his mar
risd friends, did what not one man in i
million would have done, agreed to
support the child.
= As to the Reverend Ball who worked
Up this scandal and gave it to the pub
1ict, Gen. King says:
