In reckoning the success of the
Summer School. the name of Miss
Smithson the matron. will stand
ever prominent in the minds of

Boy Scouts Camp
Along Susquehangaa

An enthusiastic troop of Boy
Scouts, under SCoutmaster r. +.
Manns, left early Monday morn
ing for two weeks camping trip
along the shores Of the Susquehan-
nah, near Charlest0wn, Nd.
The boys left town about 5 a. m.
IN light marching trim, for the fif-
teen mile hike to their camping
grounds, reaching the chosen spot
about 11.45. All the scouts were
IN excellent spirits at the end Of
the march, in spite Of the heat.
With the exception of sore and
tired feet, in one or two instances,
there were no unpleasant results
from the long walk.
Patrol leaders and assistants
went by train with all the baggage
early in the day, so that there was
a welcome awaiting the mixers
upon their arrival at camp.
The camp is conducted strictly
according to regulations laid down
IN the Scouts Manual, with the
idea of developing self-reliance
along all lines. 1t may be sefely
predicted that the boys are having
jolly times over their experiments
in cooking and are daily storing
up memories which will enliven
their future years.
E. l.. Richards and family spent
today at camp, and many other
friends of the Scouts are planning
to visit them during the week.

The Board of Education met ON
Monday night to hear appeals on
the assessment. As was predicted
a protest was entered by several
automobile owners Oh the rate or
assessment of ears.
Samuel j. Wright presented a
petition, representing 81 car owners,
protesting aginst the rate as fixed
by the Board last week. The Board
after hearing the several different
arguments presented, decided to
let the rate of assessment, 70 per
cent Of the retail value, stand.
As has been reported IN Ihe
Post the Board of Education has
held three meetings on the ques-
ton of auto assessment. AT It's
last meeting the representative OF
the automobile interests presented
what has proven to be their ultl-
matum: Assess the cars at ~
per cent of their retail value for
three years and we will pay our
taxes. This seems to us a fair as
sessment."
The Board at that meeting after
a lengthy discussion decided on 70
per cent the first year, 20 the sec
ond and third years, and 10 the
fourth year-this being, as one
member said, according to his best
judgement, "We have been elected

In the morning the temporary
camp was broken, the men return
ing to the main camp where
police duty'-the gathering of
garbage and cleaning of the camp
streets was engaged in. Camp
was then broken although some of
the companies did not leave until
afternoon. Because of being first
in camp Co. e was the first to
leave.
The officers and men were highly
commended by regular army off
GERS who declared the encampment
one OF the best in the country, the
men and equipment comparing fav-
orably with the regular army.
Go. b qualified quite a number
OF marksmen and in a number of
ways was one of the best compan-
les in camp. With a proper Arm
ory in which to practice and drill
it would soon develop into a crack
company. The boys intend going
right after the new Armory and
the hearty support of the citizens
is earnestly asked for as the Arm
ory would be an advantage to the
town as well as the company.

Affiliated College Site
Deee!ed To State

Land for the Affiliated College
has been decided to the State. The
signing of the papers was complet-
ed on last Wednesday night, and
check for $4,000 amount held in
option, was paid to Chas. Wollas-
ton. When the Commission first
considered the different PROPOSE
tions, Mr.. S. J. Wright, the local
representative Of the Board of
Trustees, was authorized to secure
the option on this property pend
ing the decision Of choice of prop
critics. This was done, as it was i'm
possible for the Commission itself
to take such option.
There was some thought that the
deed be held by some individual in
order that streets might be laid out
at once, if the Commission so de-
sired. No one felt willing to as
sumo this responsibility so the
title was made out direct to the
State. Now, in order to lay out
any streets or sell any portion as
has been suggested, it will be neces-
sary to secure an act of the Gener-
al Assembly at it's next session.
The Commission will meet on
Monday next, August 4th, to con-
slider plans and specifications to be
submitted by the architects. 1t is
supposed that work will be started
at the earliest practicable moment.
Rumors that the buildings will
not be ready for occupancy by Sep
tember 1914, as required by the
Act authorizing their construction
are no doubt ill-founded and are
in the main being nurtured by
those opposed or lukewarm to the
whole idea. Those acquainted with
the personnel of the Commission
feel confident that every thing pos
sible will be done to have the build
ings complete for the opening Of
the fall term.
