Notice to Advisory School Boards:
The County Board of Education
is anxious for you to recommend
suitable teachers for the schools in
your respective districts by the
Goth of May. Please make your
recommendations in writing, and
when possible all three members
should sign them, but in no case
less than two for the board will
not consider any recommendation
with only one signature to it.
Please do not recommend any
teacher who does not hold a certi-
ficate, and do not recommend any
one before you are convinced of
his or her ability and fitness for
the place.
Teachers who expect to teach in
this county should file their appli-
cations with you as early as pos
sible SO you may have some time
in which to consider them and
make up your choices.
You will please mail your rec
concentrations to my office for the
boards consideration when they
meet for that purpose. Also state
whether or not your schools will
want summer terms.
Respectfully,
y. T. BAENmIL.

Edward Hsles Drum. the famous Tan
lac Man, will give FIVE hundred ready
made dresses TO the poor and needy
women and children of Wilmington.
His decision TO perform this service
was reached after thorough and careful
consideration of the great problem Of
providing needs Of the INDECENT poor. As
in other cities, Mr.. Dunn is CO.
operating directly with local charitable
organizations in the promotion Of this
relief work. As previously stated the
company he represents are firm believers
in practical philanthrophy, and IL has
always been their aim and endeavor to
accomplish the greatest good for the
greatest number.
As a genuine proof Of the interest
taken in this wonderful work, Mr.. Drum
went to one Of the largest concerns in
the country and spent an hour or more
looking over their large and complete
stock Of Nvomen's and childreR's ready
to-wear dresses. He took almost child
ish delight in the selection Of a large
and varied assortment Of patterns. and
was not satisfied until he had convinced
himself that he had made sufficient
variety Of selections TO appeal 10 the
taste Of every age, both Young and old.
Some Of these dresses are now on dis
