Dear Sir
In reply to Your recent letter,
am very glad to give YOU any infor-
nation | can which will be OF use
To YOU IN making your decision re
garding the future method OF con
Quoting your schools.
Our schools have been centrallz
ed since 1907 and the method has
proved very satisfactory. Originally
there were eight district schools OF
one room each and one village scho,
4 OF three rooms.
( The children secure a better edu-
cation by coming to the centralized
school as In the districts 1t was
very difficult, in fact almost impos-
sible TO secure competent teachers,
and when we could obtain them II
was impossible to keep them Tor
any length Of time for as soon AS
they obtained experience they sought
better work In the larger schools
We can pay better salaries, and are,
therefore. able To obtain much bet
ter teachers.
Ii also increases the desire OF
the children to attend the high
school MS they are acquainted with
Others who are going and. being
IN a centralized school they do
not stand In awe of the high school
az Is often the ease when their ele-
mentary education IL completed In

who still think the old method bet
teF, but they are decidedly Ia the
minority and are mostly OF the
ignorant class who never seem salts
fled with anything The children
who received their early education
in the rural schools. and then came
10 the centralized school at the
time Of consolidation. readily see the
Increased sffiicienry Ia the new
mcihod.
| feel sure that II you decide to
erniralize your schools you viii find
IL much more satisfactory than the
present method would, however
advise your keeping one OF your
old buildings for use, IN the future,
IL not needed az once. as an indus
trial building We neglected 10 do
this and already realize that We
made a great mistake.
Very respectfully yours,

STEVENS DURYEA HAS
MANY FEATURES

One of the new features in auto
mobiles that will be noted at the
Newark show is the making of the
windshield an integral part of the
car by attaching it rigidly to the
cars top. This makes the wind shield
case of open cars particularly.
The integral windshield is one of
the devices originated in the new
C-Slx Steyens-Duryea. In the first
place it improves the appearance Of
fine motorcar by eliminating all
the straps, guys and braces used
heretofore to support the frame Of
the shield from either the hood or
the body. The frame of the shield is
locked to the top so securely that
it becomes a part of the car really
instead OF being only an accessory.
An advantage the Stevens Duryea
engineers proved by many tests, is
the superior ventilation thus given
the drivers compartment. The wind
shield is of the universal position
type and can be adjusted to give
perfect circulation of air without the
uncomfortable differences of tenn
perature on the floor of the compart-
ment and in the upper parts, which
are almost inevitable with the less
permanent form of windshield
Incidently, the close connection OF
the windshield and the top and the
elimination of straps, ETC., is one Of
the contributing factors in the re-
markable quietness of the C-Six. The
cars silence was attained by stop
ping every vibration possible and re-
fining all the mechanical parts to the
utmost.
The Stevens-Duryea is exhibited at
the local show by A. G. Spaiding d
Brothers, agents for the Stevens
Duryea and Chase truck.

NEWARK'S SHOW
DRAWS BIG MEN

Newark's sixth annual automobile
show. which opens this evening in
the armory will undoubtedly be the
largest and best ever held in this
city. Already many of the lea1ers
and best-known men in the auto
world are here to represent their com
pany and to assist their agents at the
show. When the real heads of DE-
partments and factory representatives
come here in large numbers II slsnl-
f1es the Importance Of the NeWar
show and speaks well for the progress
siye spirit shown by our local men
who have the show in charge. Among
the arrivals today is Eugene A. WEIGH
of Kalamazoo, Mich, who is the sales
manager for the Michigan Motor Car
Company. He comes to see that the
mighty Michigan 4o'' is properly dis
played and its many good qualities ex-
planned, and he certainly looks as II
he knew his business. Mr.. Welcn
was at all the big shows held so rar
this season and is in position tc
give his local agent, E. L. Reynolds
who owns the Michigan Motor Sales
Company, now located in their hne
new quarters, at 3T2-s7s Central ave-
nue.. much good advice and assistance.
Mr.. WEIGH will remain in Newark all
the week, and says from present IN
Gfcations there will be many Miehi-
gan cars sold here within the next
few days. It's good car, built by
a good company, very comfortable
and very reasonable in price, and we
want the people of Newark TO ex-
anime it at the show.

THE MARMON

In its luxurious, comfortable bodies
the Marmon 80 is thoroughly express
sive of the highest refinement of the
body builders art. The five-passen-
ger model is typical of the con-
venience and improvements to be
found in every type of the 80,
The four passenger 50, known as
the Suburban, is similar in design to
the five-passenger body with the ex-
ception that the front seat is placed
slightly farther from the dash, the
rear seat being narrower and sitting
closer to the front seat, giving
more compact body on straighter
lines without sacrificing any OF the
comfort of the touring car body.
The two-passenger 81 roadster is
furnished in one body type only. 1t
is an attractive and practical two
passenger car, designed to meet the
requirements of city use and long dis
lance touring. 1t is roomy and COM
Portable. having neatly arranged fla
cilities for carrying luggage, extra
tires, etc.
For the man who desires the speedy,
powerful appearance of his car, the
thirty-two is also furnished in type
known as the speedy type speedster
The limousine and landaulet body
type of the Marmon leave nothing to
be desired in the way of beauty of
design, fineness of finish or luxury of
appointments. Each seats seven with
ample capacity for five persons in the
interior.

tons Of these beautiful bodies win be

Mr.. Radel. in speaking of the car,
said he had studied it for years and
had watched its workings from every
standpoint, and at no time had 1t

every obstacle that can be sur

LOCAL DEALERS
ARE OPTIMISTIC
Automobile Outlook Is Very
Good from Every Stand
point.

Local automobile dealers and ac-
cessory men are very cheerful over
the prospects of a busy summer. They
have had a very good year, which
has been made all the better by the
open winter. Here is what few OF
them have to say
Mr.. Edwards Pleased.
J. II. Edwards, of the Edwards
Motorcar Company, Of 223 Halsey
street. agents for the Pathfinder car.
expects a very good season. Things
look bright from an automobile
standpoint, and you can take it from
me that We are going to have a good
year. Yes, the Pathfinder is a popu-
lar car and you will see a large num-
Der of them on the road hereabouts.
There are lots of buyers waiting for
new cars and there should be lots
doing"
An Open Winter joy:
r. F. Rodgers. the carriage and
automobile painter, of Atlantic
street. says that while the open win
ter was a joy to the owners of cars
II delayed the overhauling and paint
ing work to such an extent that the
outlook should be all the better for
the early spring. THE autoists have
delayed overhauling all winter, and
as there must necessarily be some
painting and repairing the shops can
look for busy few weeks. as cold
weather has already begun to drive
them to cover"
The Velie In Good Hands.
J. ". Mason, who now has the
agency for the Velie car, was very
cheerful as TO the business outlook.
Things look good We are constant
~ demonstrating Velie cars to pros
pective buyers, and If we sell only a
small percentage Of prospects, I'll
be perfectly satisfied. The Newark
show will bring many more prospec-
tive purchasers, and these will Keep
us going for the remainder of the
year."
Local Trade Notes.
J. 3. Laskey. for several years
identified with local automobile top
manufacturers, has embarked in the
business on his own hook at 325 Hal
sew street. Mr.. LaslSey reports BUSH
ness fairly good. but says that II
has been hindered somewhat by the
open winter.
II. F. Snyder, of the United States
Tire Company, will be one of the
FREQUENT visitors at the Newark show
lshis week, and he will keep an ac-
curate account of the tire equipment
on the cars at the show. Mr.. Snyder
is one of the best-known tire men IN
the East.

Amateur repair men, when taking
auv equipment of their machine 10
pieces, are very liable to lose and MIS-
nlace some of the smaller nuts or
screws unless a definite method OF
keeping them is followed. For this
reason it is advisable to use NUMBER
of small boxes into which the smaller
pieces from each part of the car may
be sorted. It is especially worth while
to do this where some time may
elapse before the mechanism Is pu'
together again. An experienced driver
keeps a number of tin cane, partly
filled with kerosene, into which he
drops all small parts as he takes them
from his car.

Report That Benton
Will Sign for Life

SAVANNAH. GA, June ia
story from Cincinnati has reached
Savannah to the effect that after
hurting magnificent game Pitcher
J. P Benton, better known as Rube,
announced his engagement to Miss
Ruth Rorh. OF Hyde Park. Cincin-
natl suburb. "Rube" is a straw mound
performer for the Cincinnati Ma
tional team
'Rube' Benton is the man who sew
eral years ago wrote to the secretary
Of the Savannah Baseball Associa-
ton asking for a job on the pitching
staff Of the Indians He comes from
the apple growing section of North
Georgia, and his chief claim of ability
was that he knew he could pitch
baseball because he had practiced
throwing apples in his fathers or
chards The application was turned
down by the savannah Club.
"Rube" then wrote to Macon. His
application received better treatment
there, and a try-out was secured. The
fellow from the country made good,
and that year Macon turned out d
championship team with "Ruba"
Benton as the principal contributor
to success
Before the season was more than
half over there were big league
scouts from many cities watching
his performances from the grand
stands in the cities in which he work
ed. Before the end Of the season
was well in sight several offers were
made for the big countryman. Gin
cinnati succeeded in landing him, and

Pitching apples in orchards surely
must be a good baseball developer,
If "Rube's" tale is to be believed.
After he landed in Cincinnati he new
er was even considered as one Of
the men to be released. He made
good from the start and has been
delivering the goods in grand style
ever since.

EMPIRE STATE LEAGUE TO
EXTEND BASEBALL SEASON

CORDELE, GA, June 16.-At the
meeting of the directors Of the EN-
pire State League held in Cordele
yesterday a motion was carried to
extend the season by lacking on
twelve additional games to the pres
emit schedule and divide the season
with 81 games in each series.

lowed out as Il stands. 1t was ar
gued that a split OF the season with
out the extension would practically
give Valdosta, with its present lead, a
cinch on winning the first series.

by Mr. Brewer. of WaycroSs, and put
to vote tie resulted. the vote Of
