companies, and Is An line with the
intimidation plans of the Prudential.
Outstanding Prudential policies have
now automatically become participating
without the necessity of legislation and
policyholders will benefit accordingly

School Affairs.


The question of election Of members
of the Board of Education OF Riverton
borough has been settled by the Assist
ant Commissioner of Education, whose
ruling is the same as that made by Su-
perintendent Stees on the evening of the
election. The tickets mentioned names
Of persons and did not designate the
'full term of three years" Then there
was black line and under it there ap-
peared 'for the unexpired term" and the
names Of three men. There appeared to
have been mix-up in the full term
business, as the names Of H. B. Kipp
and c. w. Kipp appeared, also the
name Of Louise G. Durburrow. The
tellers gave the votes for H. B. Kipp to
c. w. Kipp because there was no person
by the former name, and the middle let
ter in the name Of Miss Durburrow was
not correct, it should have been d. AS
there is no other woman by the name of
Durburrow in Riverton, the decision was
that the voters intended to cast their
ballots for Louise D. Durburrow, and as
c. w. Kipp received majority vote
without the ballots cast for H. B. Kipp
he appeared to be the choice OF the
voters. In his decision Mr.. Belts said it
was perfectly clear that the voters in
tended to cast their ballots for the per.
sons named above the printed line fol-
three years, even though there was not q
specific designation for that term, and
for the person below the black line, al
the printed designation Of unexpired
term was there, thus making the legal
distinction. Mr.. Belts decided that the
persons declared elected by the teller
were the proper members Of the board.
| According to Camden paper thu
State Board of Educationhas ordered 81
Investigation into the affairs Of loca
Boards of Education where there is sus
picion OF graft, and it is said there ar
reports OF this kind which justify the in
vestigation. The chairman of the stat
board claims to be in possession of evi
dence that members Of local boards ar
interested in contracts for school sup
plies and in selling building lots, ans
that school property has been given ava.
without adequate compensation. All G
these reports will be looked into. Fror
all that has been said the wrongdoin
appears to have been confined to the W
per part Of the state, and there is nc
much fear of Burlington county bein
scandalized.

Dedication Of School Building.

i The new school building at Moores
town was dedicated Thursday with ap
propriate ceremonies and nearly the en-
tire day was devoted to the event which
was of great interest to the residents Of
Chester township and to the teachers
and pupils of the school.
Beginning at one o'clock the building
was opened for general inspection and
hundreds of people went through the
different rooms and gave their opinion
Of the new school house, and the general
impression was that there had been q
very judicious and careful expenditure
OF the money appropriated for the pur-
pose and that Moorestown now has the
most complete building in this section
At two o'clock the dedicatory exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev. c. s..
Lawrence, and after the key of the build
ing had been delivered to the board Of
education by the architect there was
very interesting program presented in
which the pupils of the school gave
drills and dances, sang songs and other
wise pleased the large audience present.
Hon. Calvin N. Kendall, commissioner
OF education, delivered an address. A
piano was presented to the school by the
Home and School Association, an or
ganization that is taking much interest
in the affairs of the Moorestown school.
Charles H. Elder, for the Patriotic Order
Sons of America, presented large
American flag.
In the evening there was another hour
set aside for inspecting the building.
Music was rendered by the high school
orchestra, and the manner in which the
selections were rendered showed that the
department of music in the school had
not been neglected. This was also very
noticeable in the numbers on the pro.
gram devoted to singing by the pupils of
The eighth grade and OF sthe high school, |
Henry B. Coles, president of the Board |
Of Education, delivered an address in
which he referred to the condition of the
schools several years ago and at the pres
INT time. He gave history of the
movement which brought about the
of the new schoolhouse, with
many Of the details connected with the
The address gave those
present very clear idea of the work.
George c. Baker, supervising principal
u the school, addressed the audience,
the people on behalf of the
eachers, for the support that had been
,iven those who are working for the
ause of education. H. Fred Robinson, l.
member of the Alumni Association,
poke on behalf of that organization.
The final address was by former Govern
n Edward c. Stokes, whose speech was
istened to with marked attention and
vas heartily applauded as he made tell
ng points on the advantages of educa-
ion.
At both of the meetings the auditor
um, which seats $50 people, was crowd
d beyond its capacity, extra chairs
eing brought in, until there were at
east 800 in the room. The citizens of
hester township are to be congratulated
n having erected the finest schoolhouse
n the county, and one that will compare
cry favorably with many in the state.

John L. Parsons, brother of the late
