The annual meeting of the Burlington
County Board of Education was held in
the Court House on Saturday.
The president of the board being absent,
Superintendent H. A. Stees was elected
chairman. The following officers were re-
elected for the ensuing year: jerome B..
Grigg, president; Budd r. Hancock, vice
president; w. A. Connard, secretary;
Nelson A. Greedy, treasurer.
George E. Megargee read a paper on
'"The Organization of School Boards and
How to Secure the Best Results. Mr..
Megargee set forth the advantages of the
township system with uniform grades of
promotion leading up to a Central High
School, but claims that uniform regula-
tons tor all schools cannot be adopted
without great notifications and that the
district schools offer greater advantages
in sparsely settled communities. He re-
ferred to the report of the Committee
of Ten" as materially aiding in raising the
standard of Education and claimed that
Burlington county had done but little I'M
til recently in profting by its recommen-
dations.
Mr.. Megargee considers that the selec-
ton of teachers is the most important fac.
tor to be considered and recommends that
tHey De Ie-6ltCteu lOT pOSIIlOHS ny only
those competent to Judge of qualifications
as good organization and poor teachers car
never secure good results.
Jacob W. Styles, of Moorestown, read
an able paper on THE Foundations of {
Higher Education" Mr.. Styles compared
education to a beautiful edifice. He would
give special attention to the selection o.
the primary teachers and nave the founda
ton wisely laid in accordance with thu
principles of education. He favors givine
much attention to the teaching of Ian
guage, arithmetic, history and science anC
claims that Latin Grammar and Spanish
should be taught in the High Schools tt
meet the demands of the times.
Superintendent Stees read a Telegram
from Assistant State Superintendent j. B
Belts, stating that he would not be abb
to address the meeting, consequently ther
was much time for general discussion. Sew
eral plans for creating an interest in highe
education were considered, but the mos
important question was the considerable
of some method of interesting members @
the Boards of Education throughout tn
county sufficiently to secure better repre-
sentation from the townships. In consid
Grafton of the small attendance present
was decided to call the next meeting

Canning FACTORY Burned.

The large canning factory near the East
Moorestown railroad station was DESTROYED
by fire on Friday night. The cause is a
mystery as no one was known to be in the
building at the time. Incendiarism is
suspected.
The factory until recently was conduct
ed by the American Grocery Company, of
New York, but of late years has not been
operated extensively. About a month ago
Irving A. Collins, of Moorestown, bought
the plant with the intention of operating
it again.
When discovered the flames had gained
considerable Roadway, the buildings being
very infiammable.
1t was thought that the large storage
warehouse, a building two stories high
and 40 by 200 feet in size, could be saved,
but it finally succumbed. At one time
the entire east end of the town was threat
ened, but through the perseverance of the
firemen, the flames were confined to the
factory buildings. This factory was
started in 1868 by Jones Yerkes, and it grew
in years to be one of the most extensive
canning establishments in the country.
The plant originally cost $50, 900 and en-
ployed as high as 800 hands. The build
ings were all of frame and covered an acre
and a half of ground About ten wears
ago the plant passed into the hands of H.
K. & F. B. Thurber, of New York, who
enlarged the plant. Finally this firm was
incorporated into the American Grocery
Company, Since that time the plant was
allowed to run down and was eventually
closed three years ago.

After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. If you do,
you have indigestion, which means not
digestion. This may be the beginning of
so many dangerous diseases, that it is best
to take it in hand at once and treat it with
Shaker Digestive Cordial. For you know
that indigestion makes poison which
causes pain and sickness. And that Shak-
er Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cor
dial does this by providing the digestive
materials in which the sick stomach is
wanting. 1t also tones up and strengthens
the digestive organs and makes them per-
fectly healthy. This is the rationale Of
its method of cure, as the doctors would
say. Sold by druggists, price 10 cents to
$1.00 per bottle.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is catarrh. Halls
catarrh cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls catarrh
cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the pa
item strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in it's curative powers, that they offer
one hundred dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

on his lungs; was treated by his family
physician for 2 months, but grew worse.

medicine could cure him. A friend of
the family advised him to get Stretch's

his work, and feels as well as he ever did.

Teachers, Aasnoiatinn.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Burlington County Treachers' Association
was held in the High school building,
Mount Holly, on Saturday. The algebra
lesson was simultaneous equations in
quadratics, containing two unknown
quantities. No rule can be given for the
solution of these, except when the terms
are homogeneous, but the solution will
generally depend on the skill and ingenu-
ity of the student. Mr.. Watts selected a
few problems which might be arranged
under general heads, and gave special
rules which will usually make the solu-
ton easy.
There was no lesson in literature as the
teacher, Miss Reed, was sick.
