dent Hingsburg. Contractor Charl-
son began moving the building from
It's foundation on Thursday of last
week. It is being moved about % feet
each day and if nothing unforeseen hap
pens by Saturday the building will be
over the location of its new site, where
the government will have it located
permanently. Great care Is being OBJ
served IN the moving that no unneces-
sary jarring should disturb the me-
chanism in the light tower. Specifica-
lions are being prepared for the build
ing of the foundations at the new site
and may be given before Saturday.
There seems to have been nc appreci-
able damage done at the old site by
the recent equinoxial storm. Anxiety
had been felt from this source, but all
fear is now pretty we'll allayed. Visi-
tors are still making daily pilgrimages
to the scene Of the recent cave in, some
of whom use their cameras to take
views of the lighthouse while In tram
sit. Capt. Hewitt and his family are
occupying the building, keeping house,
while it is being moved.
Principal II. G. Schlichting reports
that progress on the new addition to
the North Wildwood school is being
made as fast. as the workmen can or
are able to make same, although at the
present time 1t looks as If it will
not be completed on schedule time.
The Board of Education will elect a
new teacher as soon as the new build
ing is ready for occupancy. There has
been a noted increase in the number of
pupils In the school, showing a very
rapid and healthy growth in the popu-
lation of North Wildwood. The en-
rollment on the first day of the school
year for the past five years was as fol-
lows: 1909, 80; 1910, 112; 1911, 121 +;
1912, 143, while this year the figures of
the first day ran up to 146. The
enrolment at the present date is 1873,
some of the older pupils not being
registered to date. Another proof of
the advance made in the population of
this vicinity can be gathered from the
total enrolment made as follows for
the last five years: 1909, 1874; 1910, 14S;
1911, 1870; 1912, 1872; 1918 to the present
time 1873, and no doubt these figures
will creep over the 200 mark.
