Wenonah,s School Troubles.

The Board of Education at Wenonah con-
sists of five members: Messrs. E. Hurff,
President; E. L. Farr, Sec'y; and Geo. H.
Grenig, John Colbert and Mrs. A. NJ John
son.
The trouble dates from the April meet
ing, when the question of teachers was
taken up, and, owing to the absence of one
of the five members Of the Board, it was
decided that no action should be taken in
regard to teachers for the next year until a
full Board should be present.
The next regular meeting fell on last
Monday night, but owing to the inability
of President Hurff to attend, notice was
sent to the members that the regular meet
ing would not be held on that date An
hour or so previous to the meeting Clerk
Edward l.. Farr received notice, signed
by George H. Grenig, John Colbert and
Mrs. A. NJ. johnson, constituting majority
of the Board, stating that there seemed to
be no valid reason why the meeting should
not be held. The three trustees, accord
ingly held a meeting. and, after reconsider
ing the motion of the previous meeting
that the election of teachers be postponed
until all members of the Board were pres
ent, decided to reduce the number Of teach
erS from four to three, and elected Miss
Margaret Hemphill teacher. They also
voted to instruct the district clerk to notify
the principal, Miss Rilla Bugbee and the
Misses Alice and Mary Emmel that their
designations were desired, and that a special
meeting of the Board be held on Saturday
evening, May 18, to consider the applica-
tions, designations and election of teachers.
Notices were also sent out that the post
poned regular meeting' would be held on
Saturday evening, May IS, and that night
the climax in the difficulty was reached,
when the five members of the Board met,
with large number of prominent citizens
present.
From reports supplementary conduct
prevailed to such an extent that the meeting
adjourned without any action being taken
on the propositions slated for consideration.

Artesian Water Saves Life.

Statistics prepared by the Camden Board
of Health and made public yesterday show
that city to be one Of the healthiest in the
United States. In the population of nearly
$4,000 people, but 90 deaths occurred last
month.
More surprising than this is the decrease
in the number of contagious diseases,
especially typhoid fever. This decrease is
attributed by the authorities to the new
artesian water supply.
The year previous to the establishment of
the new water system there were nearly 400
cases of typhoid.
During the month Immediately preceding
the turning on Of the new water supply
there were 11S cases of the disease. The
number the next month was decreased to
twenty. In the entire year Of 1900 there
were only thirty-two cases of typhoid, and
from last September to the first of this
month there were but eighteen cases.
Half of these eighteen cases were due to
the drinking of Philadelphia water.
