RIFLE RANGE AMONG THE
POSSIBILITIES; SITE WANTED

Captain Carl Nj. Noeller was in town
last Friday in search of site to locate
Il rifle range for his command, Co. l., Sd
regiment, n. G. n. J. Building activity
in Nentnor has driven the militiamen
from their old range, and the captain
believes that We're he to locate here az
impetus would be given the company
More than this, as sergeant Clarence
Davis. of Co, i, expressed himself, III
due time Il company of the National
jfuard might be mustered i'll from Pleas
antvilIe and vicinity The sergeant j.
an enthusiastic guardsman and marks
mans, and he and his captain believe
that. with local rifle range, there would
soon follow rifle club composed OF
young men.
Two sites We're suggested to Captain
Noelker, one in the gravel pit near the
electric light works; the other in the
old Reading Railroad pit at Doughty
Road and Washington avenue. Sergeant
Davis thinks the latter is the most SUIT
able, as it affords enough room for
range of 500 yards. While the other
site is more accessible Captain Voelked
was disappointed at its size and he fail
ed to see how it is possible to secure
range of more than 200 yards.
Company i is pretty well represented
here at present. The following young
mem are members: Clarence Davis, Emil
Shappell, Herman Rislcy, Harry NJ. Jones.
Wilbur Smith. Harry p Jester, Walter
Band and Maurice D. Hoffman.

somewhat void of color schemes, but by
the time one looks at the work of the
seventh grade pupils there is growing
impression that harmony of color has
been one of the strong points of the
teaching during the last two years. There
is one more favorable point-the exhibit
was formed of the regular run OF the
pupils work; there was nothing special
about it, which makes it more valuable
in the parents estimation. Nothing
was made up for exhibition purposes, or
with the object Of pulling wool over
clllpabe eyes.
Step by step the pupils have been led
to, make designs and harmonize colors,
with almost wonderful results i'll the
high school department, where beautiful
specimens of drawn work, i'll curtains,
scarfs and covers and other incidentals
that 90 to make homes beautiful and
attractive, and the makers happy and
useful SO much for the girls work.
The BOYS under Miss Sautter have
been taught even more than the rudi-
ments of manual training, for there We're
in the exhibit some very good specimens
of book shelves. to say nothing of small
pr drtIcleS OF WOOuWO1k. hcSI ol lHeot
things bore carved ornamental designs
and all were substantially made; in
fact. there was nothing in the eXhibi-
tion from the hands of pupils, in the
advanced grades, that would not puzzle
older heads and make older hands dread
fully nervous.
Time enters largely into mems ability
to accomplish things, and teachers, too.
and this is the element that prevents
greater results for the comparatively
small outlay of money necessary for the
purpose of training the eyes and hands
of the pupils in this art department.
and, it cannot be charged that an excess
of time was spent by Miss Sautter in
the last term. The exhibit is the result
of her efforts with fifty pupils at one
time for period of twenty-five minutes
each day for each grade. 1t is said the
studies do not permit of more time on
this class of work; be that as it may.
whatever is done in this department.
under capable eyes, will bring forth
good fruit in Years to come, for there
are specimens of mechanical drawing
one of them the work of colored boy
that may be the means of bringing fame
to their makers.

WOMEN NEARLY TAINTED AT
CHILD'S NARROW ESCAPE
Shore Roads Usual Daily Blockade
Nearly Had Fatal Result
Last Saturday

Last Saturday afternoon the usual was
happening at the Shore Road crossing OF
the West Jersey, freight train was
monopolizng the spot, with the result
that crowds Of people were lined up on
each side Of the tracks i'll addition 10
autos and wagons. A break came be-
tween the freight cars aud two little
girls started to cross the tracks They
did not and could not see an approach
ing express train on the south bound
tracks, but men and women yelled and
the oldest OF the two made a dash, lanl-
ing safely on the opposite side Her
little sister stopped short at the very
edge of the rail, but she did not have
time to wheel round before the train
sped past her less than a foot away.
There were just a few muttered prayers
of thankfulness in the crowd, and many ,
deep breath Of relief carried the PRAYERS
heaNenward.
The incident spurred one of the spec
tators, William Channels, to action. lie
resolved that the news OF the narrow
escape would be spread and, that if the
power behind the Young Mems Rcpubl-
can Club is Of any consequence. he in
tended to use it. With this in mind he
introduced the subject at Tuesday even
ing's meeting and indignation ran high
over Mr. Channels description of the
scene. The club recognized the futility
OF protesting to the railroad company as
has been done in the past, and the mem
bcrs unanimously agreed to adopt differ
ent measures from now on They re-
cognize the fact that the train crew
practises of blocking the> Shore Road
crossing is one of the greatest detriments
that this town has as a bone of conten-
tion.
