The New School Building.

The buildings on the ground recently
purchased by the Board of Education will
soon be removed from where they now
stand and the ground will be ready fol-
building operations Bids for the new
building will be opened on the 18th Of
this month and 1t is expected there will
be many who will compete for the work.
The bids will be for brick building
and there will be alternate bids for con-
crete building. The latter is allowed
owing to the fact that concrete building
is freproof. but the cost will possibly
preclude such a schoolhouse being erected
as the funds at the command of the Board
of Education will not warrant large
outlay.
Preparations have about been COM
pleted for the accommodation of pupils
now in the Heard building. Somedificulty
was experienced on this line. 1t was
thought perhaps the churches, with a
desire TO aid In educational matters, would
allow the use of their Sunday school
rooms for the balance of the school year.
The trustees of the Methodist and Baptist
churches were applied to but they feared
the damage to their rooms and furniture
would be great and, Notwithstanding the
Board of Education guaranteed to make
good any damage that might ensue, the
application was denied. st. Andrews
church was next applied to and willingly
consented, but as the room was liable to
be used two or three days when the school
would need 1t, another place was looked
after and the matter was finally settled
by secular organization-the Good In
tent Engine Comparatively offering
room in their building. After this was
settled the Church of the Sacred Heart,
not knowing that the Board had been
accommodated, volunteered the use of the
building adjoining their church on Wash
ington street.
The children in the other rooms of the
Heard building will be taken care of
under an arrangement approved by the
state authorities whereby the pupils of
two rooms will be in session In the morn
Ing only, and those of two other rooms
10 the afternoon only. This will obviat
renting another building and will not
interfere with the pupils studies. without
much detriment, but some little annoy
ance must be put up with for awhile.
When the next school year opens there
will be ample room and fine accommoda-
lions, thanks to the liberslity of the tax
payers.

Minutes adopted at special meeting of the
Board OF Directors of the Mount Holly Safe
Deposit and Trust Company, upon the death
of William c. Parry, Nj. ID.
The Directors of the Mount Holly Safe De-
post and Trust Company have learned with
profound sorrow and regret, of the sudden
death of Doctor William @. Parry. He was a
director of the Company since Its organiza-
ton, and was a valued official, careful and
conscientious in the discharge of his duties.
His counsel was frequently sought and his
efforts were always exerted with the view to
the upbuilding of the Company. We feel that
the Company, as well as the members of the
Board Individually, have sustained great
loss by his death.
AS q man, Doctor Parry was most courteous
in association, temperate in speech and force
full in ex preston.
Resolved. that we tender to the widow and
children of Doctor Parry, our sincere sympa-
thy in this hour of bereavement; that copy
of these resolutions be forwarded to them;
and that the same be entered in full, upon the
minutes OF this Company.
Unanimously adopted this first day of
December, nineteen hundred and eleven.
CHARLES Coles Secretary.

Want School Abolished.

The abolition of the Farnum Preparatory
School. at Beverly, which has rapidly
been falling into disuse. has been recon-
mended by the State Board of Education
by Prof. Henry Jones Ford, who con-
stitutes the special committee having
supervision over that institution. The
Farnum School was established to train
candidates for the State Normal School.
At the present time 1t has twenty five
pupils and Professor Ford reported that
sanitary conditions about the school are
such as to make 1t menace to the health
of the neighborhood.
The situation was complicated by the
fact that although state institution the
Farnum School was established partially
by bequest. The property was given to
the state for the institution and an endow-
ment of $50, 900 made for its support. Last
year the Legislature appropriated $4,000
for the maintenance of the school and this
was not sufficient to make much needed
repairs or to keep 1t in a proper sanitary
condition. The board decided to post
pone action upon the recommendation to
abolish the school until its next meeting.
Commissioner Calvin N. Kendall, In ad-
dition to his annual report submitted to
the board, recommended the addition of
several courses at the Cape May Summer
School
