fine YEARS WORK
IN CRISP SCHOOLS
CORN AND CANNING CLUBS HAVE
DONE GOOD WORK AND ClRcU.
LATINO LIBRARY is NOW BEING
SOUGHT.

The twenty-five county schools OF
Crisp viii close within the following
two weeks, and 4 number, practically
all Of them will observe the occasion
with closing exercises in music, elo
cution and oratory, or with excellent
picnics These events will be largely
attended by the citizens of the respec
tive communities and by others from
alls parts OF the county.
The county schools have made un,
usual records during the year now
closing Not only have they advanced
exceptionally we'll nj literary training
but in the agricultural departments
associated with these schools, most
gratifying progress has been made
The Boys Corn Club has been aug
mented by 4 large number of new
members from the various schools, and
the Girls Canning club has increased
in number much beyond that of last
year. The growing work in these de
partments reveals fine cooperation
with the teachers on the part Of j. A.
Johnson, the farm demonstration who
has taken a most active interest in
the corn club. Mrs. Johnson and 9th
ers have made every opportunity count
in behalf of the canning club. The
suggestions and plans Of the county
school superintendent, J. w. Bivins,
in advancing the schools have been Of
inestimable value.
In discussing with Dispatch repre-
sentative the county schools and their
progress for the year, Mr. Bivins said:
I'VE have experienced the best year
in the history of the county. Sincerest
interest and most earnest cooperation
has been manifested on every hand
The average general attendance has
been the best, and the numbr of pupils
enrolled has been unusually large not
withstanding that measles and whoop-
ing cough have been quite prevalent in
most sections OF the county.
This is the only county in the state
that has conducted summer schools
for the young men and young ladies
for the past three years, and this is
the only county in the state that has
county membership in a public libra
ry."
State School Superintendent NJ l..
Britain and State Supervisor F. e.
Land both are enthusiastic over the
progress of this plan.
Extensive preparations for the well
fare of the schools for the following
year are already under way, an under
taking in which County Superintend-
ent Bivins, the board OF library trus-
tees and Miss Brewer, librarian of the
local library, who are giving him their
assistance, are especially interested
is that of purchasing 800 volumes OF
library books, suitable for children
from the first through the fifth grades.
to form a circulating library for the
schools 1t is proposed to place the
three hundred volumes in twenty-five
book cases, a dozen books to the case,
thus allowing each school an equal
share in the library from the start.
Each case would be allowed to re-
main at a school one month, after
which it would be transferred TO an
other school, creating a system where
by the library would become c;rculat-
ing each month, and each school would
eventually get the benefit OF the en-
tire three hundred volumes.

STOCK MARKET
 ~~~~~~~

New York, July 19.-Opening- Variable changes, for the most part upward, attended tooay's early opera tions. In only one instance, Kenne- colt Copper, which showed an initial loss of small fraction, were individ- ual offerings in excess of 100 or 200 shares. Automobile issues were in better demand, also Industrial A1co- hol, Anaconda Copper, International Harvester, American Can and Ameri- can Shelter. Gains in some of these stocks ranged between one and two points in the first half hour. U. S. Steeel and leading rails were steady.
 Noon-Publication of circumstan- tial reports that further large war orders are soon to be awarded in this market inaugurated general ad- vance in issues of that class as well as equipments, coppers and shipping shares. The rise was easy of. accom- plishment because of the extensive short interest which has recently de- veloped. American Car, Pressed Steel Car, American Can, Railway Steel Spring, Crucible and Westinghouse rose to 2 points with as much for United Fruit and Marine pfd., for Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies and AZ for Industrial Alcohol. U. S.
 Steel was freely absorbed at a mod crate advance but rails were back ward. Bonds were irregular.

Manufacturers Expect

 At Momauguin July 2f

It is expected that some 250 manu- facturers of Bridgeport and other cit .ies of the state will gather at the Mo- mauguin House.

 The shore dinner which will be serv- ed at 130 p. m. will not be of the stereotyped kind to be found on the usual shore resort bill of fare. It will be an especially prepared din- ner, with each item so carefully se- lected that the combination will be peculiarly appetizing and satisfying.
 The. subcommittee on sports will hold meeting on Thursday of this week and will lay out a program of entertainment which promises to be both lively and interesting. It is planned to form automobile parties at the corner of State and Broad streets up to II o'clock, when the last car will leave.

CHARLES EDWARD
 OF SAxE-C0BURC

Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Co- ing in the Kaiser's army since the outbreak of the war. is thirty-two years old today, as he was born on July 19, 1884. He is the only son of the late Leopold, Duke of Albany, the youngest of Queen Victoria's sons, and his mother was Princess Helena of Waldeck-P Owing to his close relationship to the British royal family, the young Duke was very po- pular in England before the war, and was the honorary colonel of the Sea- forth Highlanders, a post he resigned soon after the commencement of hos tilities on the ground that it was un- desirable that German duke should remain the head of regiment which had t'shamelessly fallen on Germany" Charles Edward succeeded his uncle. Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, as Duke of Sake -Coburg and Gotha in July, 1900, the Duke of Connaught and his son, Prince Arthur, having renounced their claims to the succession so as to exclude all foreign members of the reigning family from the right to the ducal crown. Duke Charles Edward is one of the two children of the late Duke Leopold. His sister, Alice Mary, married Prince Alexander of Teck in 1904. A few months ago she had a narrow escape from death when a German Zeppelin dropped bombs on the estate of Lady Northcote at East we'll in Kent where the Princess was a guest. The Duke married Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein Glucksburg in 1905, and has two sons and two daughters. It has been ru- mored that his British affiliations have made the young Duke an object of suspicion among some of his col leagues in the German army. and that for this reason he has not been en- trusted with any important command.

GERARD COLLEGE


 The first president of Girard Col lege was Dr. Alexander Dallas Bache, who was born in Philadelphia 110 years ago today. He was a great grandson of Benjamin Franklin, and a graduate of West Point. Later he became a distinguished scientist, and in 1886 he was appointed first presi- dent of the college for orphan boys provided for in the will of Stephen Girard, the famous Philadelphia mer- chant and banker. pr. Bache orga- nized the school along the lines di- rected by the provisions of Girard's will one of which was that no priest, minister, missionary or ecclesiastic of any religion was ever to have any connection with the college, or to be admitted to the premises even as a visitor. Girard was a free-thinker and foe of all religions, and 1t was his belief that the young should be instructed in the principles of nor ality entirely independent of religi- ous sanctions. Dr. Bache laid the foundation for an institution which has become one of the greatest and most useful of its kind in the world.
