The offer of L. P. Campbell and
others to reconstruct the Bombay
Hook road connecting the Delaware
Bay resort known as Woodland Beach,
with the main land once more, for
$500 cash, was accepted by the Kent
Levy Court yesterday and the Wood
land Beach syndicate which had
already begun the work was author
lied to complete it. 1t is said that
the road will cost much more, in
cash, material and labor, but that
the residents who are cut off from

heavy storm and high tides of last
week washed away considerable OF
the new road thrown up by the
dredger and the work will have to be

SCHOOL ELECTION SATURDAY
All Districts in Kent County Will Vote
For Drectors-Plea For School

Next Saturday, the public school
districts of Kent County will hold
their annual elections, and every
parent who sends a child to school
should give this matter their atten-
tion. In placing the responsibility
in this important election the Milford
Chronicle says: MANY of the schools
need money spent on the buildings,
so as to make the children comfort
able, and at the same time enable
them to gain an education without
detriment to their moral sensibili-
ties. 1t is not fair to send a child
into an old barp-like building, with
open floors covered with dirt, and
obscene cuttings and pencil marks as
daily views. 1t blunts their moral
sensibilities, and the impressions,
made in youth will go through life
with your child. Be fair to the
children and give them better chances
than you had in your early days );
they are entitled to it because every
condition is better than it was when
you attended the public schools Re-
member, that the State is paying for
the teachers, and that the school
books are free for the use of your
child, and above all, that the small
school tax you pay now, will not pay
for the school books required for a
large family of children should you
have to buy them. Select men with
fair ideas for your school commission
ers; or, better still, put in the best
woman in the district, and see if
there will not result cleaner school
rooms, more attractive walls and
better sanitary conditions. Then
employ a teacher who will do more
than teach from the books; one who
will teach by object lessons, that q
clean school room, well cared fOl
desks, and some modest decorations
are part of the necessities of life
children raised in such school will
in after life have cleaner homes anC
be better citizens. Yes, we all owe
it to the children to arouse from the
sleep of years as to the public
schools. Next Saturday, June 9th
is the opportunity for the fathers o
Kent county to start great wave o
reform in their schools, and the,
need it is our personal observation
None are so good, but what the.
could be better"

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most common
OF all ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
make rest and sleep possible. In many
cases the relief from pain, which Is at
first temporary, has become perma-
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
weather, a permanent cure cannot be
expected; the relief from pain which
this liniment affords is alone worth
many time its cost. rs and so cent

shown by a number of competitors in
