JACKSON PUTS ON
LONG TROUSERS

According to a bulletin issued
from the census bureau, Jackson
now has a population of 2l05, an
increase of 447 during the past
ten years. and an increase of
1164 for the past twenty years.
This report is indeed gratifying

ment and steady growth. Jack
son and Cape are the only towns
in the county that have expand
ed during the last ten years as
is attested by the fact tina. the
county only gained 1906 during
this period while Jackson and
the Cape added 4l07 inhabitants,
showing shrinkage in the
county of 80l.

The Way Out.

A well known Cape county
physician was on his way to his
office one winter morning when
the sidewalks were a glare of
ice. While going down the
street he met a lady coming the
opposite direction. The lady
was stranger to him, although
he was not unknown to her.
In trying to avoid each other
or the icy pavement they botn
slipped and came to the side
walk facing each other, with
their pedal extremities consider
ably entangled. While the po-
lite doctor was debating in his
mind what was the proper thing
to do under the trying circum-
stances the problem was solved
by the quickwitted lady. who
quietly remarked.
Doctor, if you will be good
enough to rise and pick out your
legs, | will take what remains. "

RURAL SCHOOL NOTES
BY J. I. M'DONALD

Some time has elapsed since
any school news was given.
This is not because there is
nothing happening among rural
schools but because the super
intendent has been too busy to
even think about newspaper re-
porters.
Up to date there have been
five sectional meetings held. In
the opinion of the superintend-
ent these were very successful
meetings. The four important
ia, 1rs, pupils, patrons. teach
ar and school officials of the
school system were brought into
them. and much interest was
shown.
Principal Taylor of Gordon
vile has given assurance that
the people of Hubble township.
will appreciate a meeting of
teachers an d pupils at that
/ place. The meeting will be ar
ranged as early as conditions will
present.
B With twenty teachers to hear
/ from, one hundred and seventy
eight pupils are reported in the
eighth grade class. This gives
assurance of alarge eighth
grade graduating class next
spring.
Some inquiry is being made
about last years rural eighth
grade class. More than half
out of the seventy-six are doing
high school work, some are in
the normal, few are attending
business school and several are
doing more work in the rural
schools.
The twenty-fifth of last month
was set for Patrons Day" in
the rural schools. To an OBJ
server who has any real interest
in the future of the schools the
results were gratifying. Many
schools observed the day, show
ed the patrons the kind of work
they were doing and did much
toward beautifying the school
premises. Many trees were
planted.
Millerville, Fruitland, Lee
mon, Indian Creek, Dogwood,
Shawneetown and Randol schools
have organized basketball teams
this fall, this making a large
number of schools where this
favorite game is prayed.
T h e teachers of Shawnee
town township organized a
reading circle.
Rumbranch and Hickory Ridge
schools, (Welch township have
reopened. They were closed on
account of scarlet fever.

WANTS SWIMMING MADE
COMPULSORY IN SCHOOLS
Reports Show Vast Majority of
CoIIegians Unable to Keep
from Going Under

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--The teaching
of swimming will be made compulsory
in the New York public schools If
movement started by committee OF
prominent athletic and Y. NJ. c. A.
leaders is approved by the board OF
education. The movement was started
as result of the prominence given to
reports of swimming instructors at two
of the colleges which have made nata-
tion a compulsory part of the currlcuN
1um.
Coach Kietler of Pennsylvania says
that out of 795 students examined SO
far this season 375, or over 4S per cent
were unable to keel afloat for one min
ute. and Coach Mackenzie of the Col
lege of New York states that out OF
29S freshmen who passed through his
hands this fail SO could not swim a
stroke. In other words, out of this
group of 1898 men, supposed to come
from the classes of people having the
best chance to receive Il thorough ply
sical training, fully 460, or more than
AZ per cent, would drown without hope
if they were left TO their own devices
in case of accident in the water.
The committee which is urging the
adoption of swimming to the school
curriculum, says:
ENGLAND can be taken as a good
example of what may be done in this
line. London boasts some 110 baths
which school children are made to fire.
ouent from the earliest ages. AS q
result, in England 80 per cent of the
population of the cities can swim. In
this country the figures can be re-
