County School Board Asks For
Increase In Assessment.
NEW BUILDING FOR DENBIGH
Miss Helen crafford Elected Prin-
cipal of High School. With Three
Assistants-Three Wagons to be
Used In Transporting Pupils.

Teachers for the Denbigh High
school for the coming school term
were elected yesterday by the district
school board OF warwick county at a
meeting at Denbigh. Miss Helen Graf
ford, Of Lee Hall. was elected princi-
pal and Miss Estelle Lleweliyn, Of tins
city, and Mrs. +. c. Madison and Mr..
Harvey Yoder. of Warwick, were nam
ed as her assistants. The session VIII
begin on September 10.
II was decided by the trustees to
petition the county board of supervis-
ors to Increase the district levy from
20 cents on the 500 to 40 cents on
the Si00. TO provide fer better equip
: ment for the schools and to provide
funds for building new brick High
school building at Denbigh to cost
about $4,000. The board expects to
be able to have the new building com
pleted for the opening of the school
session In September. 1910.
Abolish Small Schools.
In all probability the district schools
at Lee Hall and one of the schools
at the Colony or settlement of
Meninites. will be abolished this SEES
sion and the pupils will be admitte /
to the Denbigh school Two wagons
were maintained last session for
transpoI ting the pupils to and from
the Denbigh school and it is proposed
TO maintain three this year. The
schools that ii is proposed TO abol-
ish are only about two miles away
from Denbigh.
For more than year now 1t has
been the policy of the county boards
to consolidate as many of the district
schools in each county as is possible
and to build one big and modern and
up-to-date building for the accomo-
datiCn CT the pupils from the several
schools. So If the new High school
building is erected at Denbigh other
OF the district schools may be abol-
ished and more wagons will be
brought into use for transporting the
pupils.
Advantages Of Consolidation.
There are many advantages accru-
ing from the consolidating of sever
al of the smaller schools. One big
advantage is in that the sessions can
be heightened and then more efficient
teachers can be employed as not as
many are needed where the pupils
are brought together in one build
ing.
The present school building at Den
bigh contains four rooms, but, in the
opinion of the county trustees, it is
not large enough to accommodate the
ever increasing number of pupils tina
apply for admission at the beginning
ut each session.

just to see how much it will differ

STANDARD OILS FINE.
Judge Holds Possible Maximum to be
s72O,bOo.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-From Judge
lands fine OF $2s.240.0O0 to a possi-
ole maximum dne of $72O.O00 is a far
cry. but that Is admitted to be the
meaning Of ruling made by Judge
Anderson In the retrial of the STAN
dard Oil Company Of Indiana for al
legged rebating today. The ruling was
informal and made for the purpose of
expediting the hearing and although
the government has the privilege of
presenting further arguments. 1t is
practically certain that there will be
no change In the ruling when it is
formally entered.
The decision Of the Court of Ap-
peals which reversed Judge Landis
eliminated the view of that jurist that
each carload OF oil on which a re-
bate was accepted constituted a sep
arate offense. There were 1852 of
these carloads. the freight charges for
which were paid In SO different set
Elements. Judge Anderson interpret
ed the decision Of the Appellate
Court. which. he said. served as his
guide. to imply that these alleged re-
bates accepted after each of the So
settlements constitute the unit of Of

New York, Feb. 26.-Prices In the
