To Make High Schools Extension
Centers, Is Plan for Wisconsin.

A plan to make high schools local
extension centers has been maturing at
the University of Wisconsin and is now
announced for TIE fall of this year.
This plan will be put into operation in
connection with the educational service
OF motion picture and stereopticon slides
inaugurated last fall by the bureau of
visual instruction of the Extension di-
vision. By means of this service films
$50 communities and 100 900 feet of film
and about $4,000 slides have been used
At the time schedules were announced
at the beginning of last year when the
work was greatly expanded over prev
ious years, it was decided to allow a set
OF films and slides to remain in COM
munity two days. 1t was found, how
ever, that such schedule allowed no
time for extra lectures or demonstra-
tons to be given, and that sometimes
the time limit was too short for salts
factory and reliable transportation fac
tories. At the same time a number of
institutions taking the service found a
demand in the outlying districts and
made arrangements for special sets of
films and lectures to be furnished.
From the local high school, or normal,
or small college, short lecture schedules
were arranged, and thus the movement
was started.
''It would be almost impossible for
the university to furnish all the coun-
try communities direct" said William
H. Dudley, chief of the bureau. "But
by sending set to one institution in
community and with that institution
furnishing the others, we can reach
many times the people at less expense
and by very simple arrangement.
Accordingly. any school desiring to
become an extension center next year
may have the use of set of slides and
films for week at time"

A New Banking Question.

In large cities of the country there has
been growing up for several years a
practice both among National and State
banks of sending an armed messenger
or an armored automobile to the various
customers for the purpose of collecting
deposits and also of delivering to Gus
tomers packages OF money covering the
payrolls of the several concerns.
Obviously, the purpose of the bank in
giving this additional service was to re-
tain the patronage of the recipient, and
not few institutions sought to extend
then business through this feature, says
the American Banker. In large city
like New York or Chicago, business con-
Germs have occasion to move from one
address to another, so that one particu-
lar concern ceased to be in the inn
mediate neighborhood of it's bank.
To retain the patronage of its GUS
toner the bank would send it's armored
automobile both to receive the regular
deposits ard to DELIVER the amount of the
payroll. OF necessity, if this service was
not given it would be necessary for the
concern to send messenger with the
deposit and also to employ a messenger
in getting the regular payroll.
Reports from Washington state that
the Comptroller of the Currency has in
timated that these "banks on wheels
Fall under the classification of branch
banks and that therefore their use is
illegal and must be discontinued.

Picnic at Four Mile COLONY

The Burlington county colony fol-
feeble minded boys at Four Mile was
visited by quite crowd of people, on
Thursday, the occasion being the second
annual picnic which is given to get the
people to visit and inspect the settle
ment and the work baing done there.
The visitors inspected the buildings
saw the good sanitary arrangements
and the general plan of how the place is
conducted. The boys of the settlement
mingled with the crowd and held con
versation with all who approached
them.
The inmates sang songs, gave recita-
tons, etc., that showed evidence of care
full and intelligent training. Each boy
is given some work to do, to keep his
mind occupied and to make him useful
to the community.
Every visitor came away satisfied thai
it is a worthy institution, efficiently
conducted, and doing much good in
taking care of the unfortunate boys.
Lie superintendent anu LIS Vile, WI
and Mrs. ]. Frank Macomber, are great
ly interested in the work and, judging
by results, appear to be the right persons
for the positions they occupy.
They called attention to the fact that
the 80 inmates now at the colony com
pletely occupy the accommodations o.
the present quarters, and stated that
another dormitory is necessary if the
work is to be extended and do more
good. Many applications for admission
are being refused on this account.
A new dormitory will cost $4,000, and
a plea for contributions therefor brought
pledges amounting to 81, 755, which was
considered very encouraging and liberal

Drowning at Bridgeboro.

Dorothy Frey, aged 16, was drowned
in the Rancocas creek, at Vansciver' s
wharf, above Bridgeboro, on Wednes-
day, while bathing. Her father, John
Frey, motored from his home in Phila-
delphia, to Bridgeboro, on a business
trip, and was accompanied by his wife
and two daughters, Dorothy and Flor
ence.
Frey left his car and family near the
creek while he was transacting his bust
ness, which took considerable time.
Dorothy, with the consent of her mother,
went bathing in the creek while the tide
was quite low, and waded a considerable
distance from the shore. A few hours
later she again decided to take a bath.
Not realizing that the tide had changed
considerably, she waded about as for out
as she had before and was unable to
reach shore, being carried away by the
current.
Her body was recovered few minutes
afterward, but too late to save her life.
Coroner Worrell made an investigation
of the affair and issued certificate OF
accidental drowning.

Seaside Park.

The voters, at the recent special cleo
ton, decided in favor of issuing addi-
tional bonds to the amount of $45, 900, to
be expended as follows: ZOO for a
sewage disposal plant; $1,000 for addi-
tional water mains, and $4,000 for
crawling streets. Borough officials state
that, to meet the interest charges and
sinking fund. provisions of the loans,
there must be an increase in tax valua-
tions. An equalization of taxes will
partly remedy the matter. Lots in the
upper end of the town are assessed at
$50 or thereabouts, with all improve.
ments of water, lights and streets, with
some in the lower end, assessed at 500
to $500, with no lights, streets, water, Oh
other Improvements. The inequality
grew up from the fact that assessment
of fifteen or more years ago have beer
carried along in the lower end with few
changes; while since the addition Of tn,
upper end of the borough from Berkele,
township, the growth has all been il
that direction, but the increase in yalu
alton has been but slight if any owe
the township assessment. Another com
parison might be made with Seasid
Heights. Lots in that borough, assesses
at 5000 and $3.50, are situated similarl
, and in actual value worth about tn
same as lots in the upper end Of Seasid
Park assessed at $50 to $50.

a New Official

| Before leaving Mount Holly, on Mon
day of last week, Judge Lippincott ap
proved the appointment by Prosecutor
Kelsey, of Clifford Powell as assistant
county detective. The Prosecutor has
held, for some time, that such appoint
ment was not to be made until it was
absolutely necessary as he did not care
to put an additional expense upon the
county. But work has been piling ut
on detective Parker, who claims he has
not been able to give the attention to
the business that it demands. There
are about 40 cases now under advise
ment that need looking after and from
present appearances the next grand jury
will have plenty of work ready for it.
Feeling that the time had arrived for
an assistant detective Prosecutor Kelsey
appointed Clifford Powell, one of the
youngest lawyers in the county but one
who has shown his legal ability more
than once in defending prisoners and
securing their acquittal. He has also
acted as stenographer, taking statements
in cases that have been run down by
detective Parker. For this work he has
been paid by the county and Prosecutor
Kelsey claims that it will be cheaper to
haye Mr.. Powell to work steadily on a
salary of $1,000 per year, and act as
assistant to Mr.. Parker, than to have
him in occasionally only to take state
ments.
Those who have attended court have
noticed that there has hardly been a
session that detective Parker has not
been at the shoulder of the Prosecutor,
giving him information with reference
to cases that were being considered.
With Mr.. Powell as assistant, Parker
will have more time to devote to outside
work while Powell, being bright young
lawyer, with considerable knowledge of
criminal law, will be able to be at court
and render whatever assistance that
may be needed, although Mr.. Kelsey
says Powell is in no sense an assistant
Prosecutor, as there is no necessity for
such an official"
While the friends of Mr.. Powen-and
he has many-are pleased to see that he
has been given the position, there is
much comment on the appointment of
a new detective at an increase in the
salary list of 81 900, with expenses to be
added. AS the appointment of an ad-
ditional detective seemed to be apparent
to the Prosecutor, he showed good judg |
ment in selecting a rising young lawyer
who must necessarily now be removed |
from working against the state but who
may be able to render much assistance |
in preparation of cases for trial.
Powell's appointment is for but three
when there will be competitive |
for the place. Members of |
the Democratic party are much incensed
that Prosecutor Kelsey should have
Republican and those of
that political faith have been the strong
est criticisers of the act. Mr.. Kelsey, |
however, has repeatedly said that he did |
not propose to allow politics to enter into
any of his acts and this appointment
seems to bear out that idea.
