Society's Tribute to Gracious Life.
The week has been marked by a
quletude more pervasive than, the usn
al Lenten hull The sudden and des-
perate illness of Mrs. BERTHE Fowler
Campbell on Monday cast a gloom
over social life and took from It all
the spirit Of pleasurlng. Rapidly were
the various clubs and announced en-
tertainments called in and the more
informal affairs quietly abandoned
dunlng the few days her life hung in
the balance until death came on st.
Valentine day. Rarely has so wide
spread a sympathy been manifested
socially, as was accorded this grac-
ious young woman as a. token of the
deepest love and respect from her
own home people.
This page would be sadly lacking
today If some tribute were not made
on it to her who so often contributed
to its adornment, not only by the
right of her position as a social lead
er, but even more by the help She
so graciously accorded at every call.

mission often seems that of dis

MAY ESTABLISH HIGH SCHOOL ON
FIVE MILE BEACH
Subject OF Drawing and Music
Courses Considered. State
Appropriation Larges Ever,
but Not All Forthcoming

A joint meeting of school trustees
from North Wildwood, Wildwood and
Holly Beach was held in the Wild
wood school building on Monday night
of last week. Matters of vital import
were discussed. The meeting was a
continuation of one held on Monday
evening, Feb. 18th, when an enthu-
siastic address was made by County
Superintendent Barr bearing on the
subjectof the state school a%ppropria-
tons and the establishing of an APP
proved high school course.
"A report of the state school appro-
priations for Five Mile Beach for 1907
showed that they were much larger than
in any previous year. This is caused by
the increase in revenue from railroad
taxation. This increased revenue will no.
be available for a while at least, because
of the appeal of the railroads to the
courts. They will contest it bitterly
and the figures to follow do not repre-
sent the amount of available money at
present but that which the expected
railroad tax if received, will permit.
THE APPROPRIATIONS
North Wildwood, $1,575.G0
Wildwood, S3,122.00
Holly Beach, $6,122.02
Total for County, $89,O00.00
1t may be of interest to know that
the state limits the use of state school
funds to four purposes, namely: Teach
ers salaries, fuel, transportation of
pupils and tuition. 1t would be quite
impossible for the resorts to use up the
appropriations of this year in those
channels. The increase, if received,
will enable the county to largely in
crease the salaries of all school teachers.
One of the most important subjects
brought before the meeting was that of
establishing an approved high school
on the island with a three year. course
Such q course will necessitate the em-
ploying Of two high school teachssn az
there are no teatfr4s on Five Mile
Beach who devote their entire time to
approved high school work.
Another point considered was the
advisability of employing teachers and
establishing drawing and music classes
on the island. The state provides an
appropriation to partially cover ex-
penses if such a course is taken up.
Since the consolidation of interests
by the island school boards and the
appointing of a supervising principal
an improvement ia school work has
been shown and better progress has
been made in all grades by the concen-
tration of interests.

MRS. T. F. RYAN
A PAPAL COUNTESS

New York. Aug. 23.-Private advices
from Rome were received here yester-
day saying expressions OF wonder were
current as TO why Mrs. Thomas F
Ryan did not avail herself OF her title
of countess.
The advices reported a rumor In GER
tain vatican circles that In all like
lhood Thomas r. Ryan would be made
noble of the Holy Roman church
before the end OF the year.
Inquiry among high ecclesiastical Of
fcers were at once made concerning
this information and IL brought TO light
the fact that Pope Plus X In Decem-
Der last bestowed the title of countess
on the wife OF the American gas, to-
bacco and street railway magnate In
recognition OF her charities and bene-
factions to the church.
IL Is said Mrs. Ryan gives away
81. 900. 900 a year in charities. Her gifts
to the church alone in the past -four
or Ave years are estimated at more
than s5,000,000.
