Death OF Scott
King Accidental
Theory Of Suicide Is Secuted BY
His Widow And
Friends.

The many old time friends OF the
late Scott E. King in this county will
be interested in this account of his
death, taken from the Rainier Valley
Record of May %:
Scott E. King, a well known min
ing man and contractor and the man
who built Rainier Boulevard, rented
rowboat at Leschi park last Fri.
day afternoon about o'clock. and a
couple of hours later the craft was
found floating near the old pumping
station. In the boat was found two
coats and an overcoat, the property
Of Mr. King,
1t was close to 2 o'clock when MIR,
King appeared at the Leschi boat
house. He fingered there, talking
and chatting for about an hour and
was apparently in the best Of health
and spirits at the time.
For a year past Mr.. King had not
been in good health. He suffered
from nervousness. He was about 81
years of age. Mrs. King is some
years his junior. There are two
children, Donald, boy of three and
half years, and Joyce, a baby girl
age thirteen months.
The King home at Rainier Beach
is one of the handsomest there. The
house is an expensive one and we'll
furnished. The library contains some
choice books, most Of the newest
fiction and much that is along the
new line of progressive thought
The grounds are beautifully laid ou'
and command a fine view of Lake
Washington. There is no quesuof
that Mr., Kings home life was an
ideal one.

Too Many d

"For some time there has been a
more or less we'll merited criticism of
our public school system. Courses of
study have been SO far advanced that
the rudiments of education have been
neglected because the children must be
rushed along to the higher branches.
We believe that children attending the
public schools should be given all the
advantages possible, but they should
not be crammed with knowledge that
they cannot properly master. Right
here in Salem the children are SO over
burdened with studies that their
physical health suffers. They bring
home arm loads of books and toll over
them with the result that the bright
est can only acquire a smattering or at
best q superficial knowledge of their
studies. This Is decidedly more harm
full than otherwise and should be stop
ped. If, as we suspect, this policy of
higher education" is made possible by

County School Boards Meet at
COnrt House

The Associated School Boards of
Cape May County held their annual
meeting at Cape May Court House, in
the court room, on Thursday, March
18th. A splendid attendance from the
various districts, together with several
talented speakers, made the occasion a
memorable one. Il. d. Sensor, of the
State Department, and DR.. w. T..
Smallwood had as their topics, Gin
dustrial Education" and "Medical
Inspection for Public Schools" Many
interesting features were brought out,
and which will no doubt be introduced
in the schools. DIR. Abbott was le-elec-
ted president of the Association and
Capt. freezing III. Hewitt, of North
Wildwood, vice president. Holly
Beach had one member and the super
vising principal present and North
Wildwood had three members of the
Board present. Wildwood had no rep
resentatives in attendance. Sherman
T. Dowler was appointed on the nomi-
mating committee, and Robert Bright
a member of the law and legislation
committee, so that Five Mile Beach is
well and ably represented. County
Superintendent Barr bespeaks a useful
and prosperous career for the associa-
ton, and judging from the enthusiasm
shown it will be fulfilled.
