Bobo writes me that, at an informal
meeting there, an invitation was re-

Ridge to hold our first quarterly meet
lnO with them. | therefore appoint
this committee on time and they can
let us know when the meeting will bc
held: Mrs. Clara Watts. Mrs. r. a

enable our members who are teacher;

0Mcnce Charged Against Haird.

Saluda. Octo. 26.-Popc b. Havird
paroled today by the governor. was
convicted of assault and battery of
high and aggravated nature at the
March term. 1911, court of Saluda
county, and sentenced by Judge Sease
to five years on the county chain
gang. The particular charge for which
Havird was convicted was an effort to
drive his mule and buggy over Miss
Carrie Mitchell, a young lady teacher.
Havird being incensed because she had
whipped one of his children. The trial
excited considerable attention and
some parts of the testimony was SEN
sational. Havird's attorney endeavorcd
to set a change of venue to Edgefield
county. cOntending an impartial trial
could not be had in Saluda county.
Upon the showing made Judge Sease
promptly refused the motion. The ac-
tion of the governor in granting a pa
role will probably meet with general
approval in this county, as those who
know Havird best believe the lesson he
has learned will prove valuable one
for him.-News and Courier.

along through the streets to the
county Jail windows, balconies and

necks. Lining the path of the pro-
cession were grim faced business
men and little boys and old women

Delightful Dance
and Reception by
the Orpheus Club

Delightful and brilliant are terms
appropriate to express the senti-
ments of those who passed judgment
upon the first reunion dance and re-
ception of the Orpheus Glee Club
last night in the rooms of the A. B.
G. Club il First street. About
fifteen invited couples were present
and all enjoyed themselves greatly,
for few left the social until the La
Rose o~rchestIa played the usual
closing tune, "Home Sweet Home"
shortly after 2 O'Clock this morning.
Encouraged by their success scored
with the III t~ertaking of last night,
the members of the Orpheus antici-
pate holding an affair of similar
nature, but on a larger scale, in a
few months hence. Artistically and
deliberately decorated, the dance hall
was a beautiful scene and one which
aroused much commentator.
Streamers Of numerous pennants of
the different schools. clubs, and col
leges popular in these parts were
strung across the ceiling as we'll as
on the sides of the walls, where
there were also large banners. The
program was commenced with a con-
~Versatlon promenade which lasted
for about fifteen minutes and then
the dance order was begun with a
two-step. A tucker was the feature

night an intermission was held. at
which time the Orpheus members
served refreshments. Beautiful fav-

prosecution has been directed more

CHO0L BOARDS
0 FORM Assn
arth Amboy May Join Pro
posed State Body.

If the new movement recently
auncbed in Burlington county to
orm a state federation of the school
cards throughout New Jersey, be-
ONE general, the Perth Amboy
Board of Education will most likely
DIN the organization. The innova-
ion is approved by the educational
authorities in the city, who favor the
principle of Capitalization.
The school boards of Burlington
county claim they do not receive
enough attention from the State
Board of Education, but that If
there were a central body to present
their claims before the state body,
they would receive more notice. The
following committee is organizing
the federation: Clarence L. Haz-
zard, of Beverly; DR.. Hugh LeJam-
bre, of Bordentown; Walter Black,
of Chesterfield; Cooper H. Prickett,
of Burlington, and Samuel Fort, of
Wrightstown.
John K. Sheehy, president of the
local school board, this morning ex-
pressed himself in favor of a state
federation. He said the State Board
of Education Is lot conversant with
the conditions of every county, but
may judge all counties alike, when
the conditions of the different coun-
ties are really in many instances
widely different. Mr.. Sheehy be-
Iieves the principle is a good one, as
more can be accomplished by an
appeal to the State Board of Educa-
ton through a strong federation
fhon thr0r,nh ,diujd,n cahnn1
boards. He also stated that a more
effective protest could be entered
through such an organization than
through single boards.
For instance, he cited the action
Of the last legislature in requiring
the reduction of the school boards TO
five members. He condemned the
law as one not in the best interests
Of the different communities and
cities. He said after the first meet
ing In January there will only be
five men instead of nine in Perth
Amboy looking after the education
al interests of the city schools. He
thought that through a federation Il
protest could be made all over the
state which would probably result in
revok1ng the law.
S. E. Shull, superintendent OF the
city schools, said If the organization
were formed for the real purpose OF
lettering the conditions of public
schools, he thought it a good idea
and one that would bring good re-
suits when put into effect. He said
there is such a long distance between
the schools and the State Board of
Education q faderation of the kim
proposed would accomplish much by
facilitating the conducting of griev-
ances to the state board.
Delegates would be sent to the
proposed federation from each
school board in the state, and regu-
lar meetings would be held to dis
cuss complaints and hear suggestions
from the different school boards.
