HAKESPEARE IN
n

At a time when the civilized world
is especially exerting itself to pay
honor to the immortal Shakespeare, it
is particularly interesting to know
what stand is taken toward him in our
w town. Pleasantville is avowedly
commercial in its spirit, and might be
supposed to lack enthusiasm on the
subject. Yet at a QUESTIONABLE given
the High School pupils last Wednes-
day, the student body, almost to a
member, stood solid in its vote for
the Shakespearean plays as the most
interesting classics which they study.
A few of the typical answer fol-
low:
81 prefer the plays of Shakespeare
to any other classics we have studied
II certainly have enjoyed the works
of Shakespeare and have also profited
by them"
II have enjoyed the works of Shake
speare far more than any of the other
classics studied and wish l might have
the opportunity of studying more of
them"
81 have enjoyed becoming acquaint-
ed with the works of Shakespeare"
81 enjoyed the plays of Shakes
peare and think that l have profited
by reading them. l prefer the
Shakespearean classics to those of
other writer's"
The wide-awake interest of the stu
dents in the Tercentennary is also
shown in the newspaper and magazine
clippings on the subject which are
daily brought into the classroom by
them.
The first High School organized
here some years ago gave a perform
ance of The Merchant of Venice. So
genuine was the interest of the resi-
dents in the play that it is frequently
mentioned today. with words of COM
mendation and pride.
1t is gratifying to know that Pleas
antville allies itself with the best
centers in its appreciation of the
works of the greatest literary genius
the race has produced.

ORDERED BY COUNCIL

Where Protection is Badly
Needed-SituatiOn Discussed.

Common Council met in regular
session Monday evening, with Coun-
cilmen Blackman, Schmidt, Adams
and Derr, Clerk Andrews and Mayor
Adams present. Councilman Black
man was selected to preside.
The contract with the Pleasantville
Heat, Light & Power Co. for lighting
the city was renewed for five years.

he be furnished with a city map,
which he declared was an absolute
necessity in order to fulfill his duties
as Engineer. Council ordered said
maps.
The matter of fire plugs, which
comes up for discussion annually, was
discussed at length. Fire Chief Woot-
ton submitted a report of locations
where plugs are badly needed and also
several plugs that are bursted and of
no practical value. He gave concrete
examples of several instances where
the fire department was powerless to
save property because of the distance
from a fire hydranE Then he cited
other instances where they were able
to supply but one line of hose and
could render but inefficient service. 1t
was readily apparent to Council that
hydrants were urgently needed in all
the localities recommended, and the
Property Committee was instructed
to take the matter up with the Water
Company and have the MIGRANTS plac-
ed as rapidly as possible. 1t was also
recommended that some effort be
made to get Egg Harbor Township to
maintain several hydrants in their
section east of Hampton Court for the
protection of properties there.

been made of the manner in which
the company hauling gravel for the
boulevard is impairing and blocking

rected as far as possible.

prices.
