MORRIS ACADEMY NOTES.

The closing of Morris Academy at
the completion of the college board
examinations last week. marked the
eleventh year under the principalship
of Head-master FL. w. Landfear, a
period of school work and life which
has been decidedly successful and pro-
gressive.
Princeton examinations were again
held at the Academy under the super
vision of the principal. Besides those
from town, several candidates from
the schools in Madison and Summit
presented themselves for examination.
Princeton is evidently to have an in
creasingly large representation from
this section of the state.
The following pupils from the Acad-
envy took college examinations Lam
don Humphreys, Harvard university /;
Louis Muir, University Of Pennsyl-
yania John Howell and Stuart Ford,
Cornell university Malcolm Humph-
reys, Princeton university.
The baseball team was very success
full in it's games, several of which were
the most interesting and exciting that
have been played during recent years.
All the masters, with the exception
of Mr.. Backus, will return the coming
year. Mr.. Peck, who has been an in,
structor at the Academy seven years,
Mr.. Barker, five years, and Mr.. Mac
Lean, three years, will continue tc
have charge of their respective depart
ments. Another teacher to supply
the vacancy will be procured and with
men who have worked together sc
many years and who SO thoroughly
understand the needs of the school
the prospects for another prosperous
year for the Academy are bright.
The school will reopen for the fall
term on Wednesday, September TWEEN
ty-frst.

WOMAN'S TOWN IMPROVEMENT
COMMITTEE.

The city beautiful committee has
been making an inspection of the
gardens started this spring by the
school children of the town.; and IS
much pleased at the interest displayed
Many OF the children have struggled
bravely with adverse conditions and
the results are most gratifying.
Among those who have done especial
ly good work thus far are the Niper
girls, Joseph Kavanagh, the Boston
girls, Philippa Muchmore, Margaret
Grimes, Gladys Meslar, Isidor Kuber-
neck, William Ratley, Alice Wood
field, Pauline Schenck, Angelo Wise
Raymond Prideaux and Elizabeth
Feeley
Attention has been called to the ur-
swept and unclean condition of the
sidewalks in town. In these hot days
light summer attire is necessary for
comfort and it is very discouraging
upon reaching your destination to
find the edge Of your skirt soiled, like
wise your shoes, Furthermore the
dust is tracked into the houses.
lf.eyery householder would see that
their sidewalk was swept every day
and occasionally a couple of buckets Of
water used, we would soon have no
cause for complaints OF having dusty
shoes, soiled dresses or tracked up
halls.

been condemned TO wear an iron
chain around his leg indefinitely. The
chain was composed of solid links
heavily wrought; and at the end was

metal With this around one leg he
could not escape far, while at the
same time II allowed him freedom of

away, they would meet him there with

swift auto. The plan was perfect;
while they rode the letters would be
filed away, and in six hours they
would be well across the Florida Dor
der.
The evening before, when one of
the sea fogs came down swiftly upon
the workers, A47 had broken for
liberty. Despite his impeachment he
had made good his escape before II
was discovered. He had crouched
down In the tangled underground.

heard the guards firing frantically,

the night he had limped heav-

outline Of the hill that rose above
Palm Valley. Shortly before dawn he
had seen a faint ribbon Of light

And then, when barely half q mile

into a pit, natural cavity In the soil.

DR. Monsonyi arrived here after a
long visit to Central America, where
he was engaged in archaeological re-

He says he Is convinced that the
cities OF Central America are not as
old as they are commonly thought to
be- He thinks the civilization there
was brought by an overflow of people
who escaped when a mass OF solid
land along the twentieth parallel be-
came submerged by some terrible cat
aclysm. The great cities and most
OF their inhabitants were destroyed,
he thinks, and only people living along
the western edge OF the mass made
their escape. That was the beginning
of the settlement OF Central America.
