Total...............657

OF this enrolment there were S4
pupils who entered school for the
first time, of which School No. l re-
ceived 45, School No. 2 received 27
and School No. 3 received IL.
Owing to the overcrowded condi-
tion in School No. /, 1t was found
necessary to transfer the Eighth
Grade to School No. 2. The Board
Of Education pays the transporta
tion Of all pupils enrolled in this
grade and living north Of the Read
ing Railroad. At the present time
there are fourteen pupils for whom
transportation is being paid, the cost
Of which about equals the rental OF
an additional room, including janitor
service but not the furniture neces-
sary.
We were also required to place 81
children, enrolled In two sections OF
the First Grade in School No. l, on
halliday sessions. In this way both
sections are using but one room, al
lowing an additional room for the
use OF another grade.
There are 80 pupils enrolled In the
Third Grade, taught by Miss Horner,
with few more to enter. The room

FOOT BALL MEETING
monday NIGHT

The young men Of Pleasantville are
full OF the athletic spirit. They won
honors for themselves as base ball

Merchants in this town have a
habit Of blaming lots OF things on
the railroad companies, and they are
often justified. This time w. J. Hos

OF fall clothing coming also, and be-
cause the clothing is coming and is
not in his store. Mr.. Hosbach is sore.
He told the Office devil last week he
would occupy a large space on the

the earned railroads have lost the
goods, hence the anger OF Mr.. FL. and
the disappointment of the devil.

NOTHING TOO HOT
FOR HIS PALATE

rather unusual kind of robbery
occurred at Conovertown, above Abb
secon. on Monday night. when a
thief gained entrance into Reuben E
Adams general store by prying open
q shutter and raising the window.
When the proprietor opened his
store in the morning he discovered
the broken shutter aud some burnt
matches; he commenced to take ac-
count OF stock. Great was his sur
prise to find that nothing hnd been
taken but case containing ten
bottles-uf Jamaica ginger!
Suspicion at once rested or man
named Dave" Thompson, who lived
Ia a house opposite the store, on
Shore Road. Ii was well known
that Thompson had an unquench-
able thirst for Jamaica ginger, as
well as other kinds of firewater.
That same night he had come home
we'll burdened with goOdslzed
jag' and had sharpened an ak,
a
hatchet and knives preparatory to
killing his wife. The poor woman
fled to a neighbor's house and Dave"
then started q tour OF the houses in
the vicinity, waking the occupants
to ask OF them his wife's where
bouts. He did not find her, how
ver, and it is supposed he procured
he ginger for consolation. This wat
proved to be true when the empty
,bottlss and Stats from the shutter
were found in the back yard Of his
residence along with a lot OF other
.hasks and ginger bottles.
The next day Thompson came into
the store and asked for a pair. Of
socks, saying he would get the mon
ey In about fifteen minutes. Mr.. Ad-
ANS, who is husky, SampsOn-likt
man (his strength isn't all In HE
hairJ, told him the socks would keep
and that he had better get ont or he
would be put out. Thompson said
some words not fit to print, but hf
got out, not liking Mr.. Adams fierce
t,oks. A young man informed him
Of Mr.. Adams suspicious, at the
same time accusing Dave OF steal
Ing his bicycle.
Thompson saw that the climate In
Conovertown was getting rather
warm; he effected reconciliation
With his wife and took the next Sub
urban trolley for parts unknown.
He had been employed by Mr.. Enocb
iberson as driver Of an oyster wag-
on aud was said to be a glassblower
from Bridgeton.
Mr.. Adams, to be on the safe side,
went to Egg Harbor City on Wednes-
day aud purchased a large, savage
dog to protect his property. WheD
the bad deeds OF the bad man became
circulated the town was thrown into
state of most i-tense excitement
and the people have not yet fully re-
covered from the shock.

Half Day Sessions Means Loss Of $I2OO

state the placing Of two additional
sections on halliday sessions.
By not having proper school facil.
tiles. the Board of Education is CON-
PEELED to spend over $500 for trans
portation of pupils and rent for extra
school rooms. In addition to which
we are losing about $500 In reduc-
ton Of our next years State school
appropriation. II 81 of our children
can attend school for but half day.
we lose daily an equivalent of 45
days attendance which, at cents
day, amounts to $500. Multiply this
by 1S0, the number OF days the school
is In actual session, and we have q
total OF $64S. This means that at
the close Of the ensuing school year
we will be short about $i200, with
still poorer facilities than at present.
The loss to the children, however,
we cannot estimate In dollars and
cents, for 1t is inestimable.
As absence and want of diligence
seriously retard the promotion OF
pupils. we kindly ask the co-opesa-
tion of parents in securing punctual-
ity and regularity in attendance of
all pupils.
We also earnestly solicit parents to
give due attention to the home study
of their children. From the Fifth to
the Eighth grades. inclusive, from
one-hali to an hour and half may
be necessary, according to the ad-
vancement and studies Of the grade.
high school pupils can hardly be ex-
pected to do good work or to COM
plete the course Of study unless from
one to two hours daily is spent In
undisturbed study before or after
periods of the daily recitations.
We cordially invite the parents and
guardians of the pupils to visit the
| schools at any time.

BEATS HEN OUT OF JOB
Incubator Is Taking Place Of Biddy
So IT'S Claimed.
From Mondays Daily.


The incubator is gradually crowding
the American hen out of the business Of
sitting on her own eggs. With its aid
the professional poultry raiser enters
large contracts without fear of failure.
A poultryman in Ohio has an agreement
to furnish Cleveland commission firm
with 800 young chickens every day. 1t
is understood that these young broilers
are to weigh pound and half, and he
gets SO dozen for them. The way he
manages to keep up with this big under
taking is well worth reading. He has
l4O acres devoted to the use of his poul-
try plant. The main building, is 4S0
feet long and there is row of pens
$50 feet in length. He uses thirty i'm
proved incubators with an individual ca
pacity of 300 eggs each. These machines
are not all filled at the same time, but
proportional so that some of them will
be discharging fresh chicks each day.
