CAPE MAY SUMMER SCHOOL.

New Jersey Public School Teachers
will be interested in the announce
ment that special Course in Nor
NAL Art will be given at the Cape
May Summer School, which is under
the direction of Mr.. T. D. Sensor of
the State Department 0fsEducation in
Trenton. The Course in Normal Art
will be taught by Miss Bertha NJ.
Sheppard of the New York School of
Fine and Applied Art.
The Course will continue for four
weeks and will be especially adapted
to grade teachers, principals, and
supervisors of drawing in public
schools. 1t is announced that spec
ial help will be given in preparing
teachers to pass the New Jersey State
examination in drawing. In view of
the fact that New Jersey teachers are
anxious to transfer their county GER
tificates to State certificates, this will
be an unusual opportunity for them
to do special work in drawing with
the State examination definitely in
mind.
Another advantage Is the fact that
tuition in the school is free to all
New Jersey teachers or those con-
templating teaching in New Jersey.
A nominal entrance fee of $500 is
charged for admission to the school.
Teachers wishing further informa-
tion should write to Mr.. T. D. Sem
sor, Department of Education, Tren-

We said in this column last week
that the Eastern Telephone Company
had trimmed two trees out Delaware
street before getting consent of the
Tree Commission "to do the work aln-
der the supervision of the owner. :"
Mr. H. Hibbett, the representative of
the Eastern Company, who directed
THE work, says he did the work AT
TER CONSENT and cut no more than
the owner directed, indeed not as
much as the owner expressed de-
sire to have done. We are glad to
make the correction, and give the
Eastern Telephone credit for the ex-
ercise of more care in its processes
than was our informant in his gath
ering of facts.

effect that only voters who participate
in the Primary election be permitted
to vote at the General election. Such

Bushels of Pennies.

Thos. C. Dilkes, President of the
County Tax Board, gave the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank busy time on
Monday morning when two of his men
delivered a two bushel canvas sack
of pennies. For the past two years,
when the drivers of his meat wagons
came in to settle, he threw the PEN
mics in an iron pot. When full, he
did them up in packages of twenty
five and placed them in the safe. The
safe being full last week he conclud-
ed to make a deposit, and heavy
canvas bag was secured, and two
strong men called in to lift it into the
wagon. This was probably the big
gest deposit of pennies the F. & M !.
bank has had recently. The exact
number was 32,500-or 1925.
