Fourth Of July.

There has been a slight change in
the programme for the Fourth of July
and it is likely that the entertainment
feature will be much livelier than was
first anticipated. The base ball game
will not be played. In the morning
there will be a parade in which the
Wild West organization of Camp Dix
will participate. There will be 200 cav
alrymen and 20 cowboys in the line
headed by Camp Dix band. After
this parade there will be speaking at
the court house. Addresses will be de-
livered by Congressman Bacharach
and Major C. G. Thompson, of the Re-
mount Station, at Camp Dix. There
will also be glee club from the latter
place and several songs will be given.
In the afternoon the sporting events
will take place at the fair ground. The
Wild West men will give programme
that will include running, jumping,
pony express and dummy races, riding
bucking bronchos, steer roping and
tying, boxing and wrestling.
In addition to this the directors of
the fair association will present some
very fine horse racing. The visiting
soldiers will be fed at the fair ground.
An admission fee of fifty cents will be
charged to all but soldier spectators,
who will be admitted at half price.
Children under the age OF twelve
years will be admitted to the fair
ground free of charge.
There will not be any charge for ad-
mission of automobiles to the fair
ground.
In the evening there will be dancing
at fountain square. The street will be
brilliantly illuminated by electric
lights and the Camp Dix band will
furnish the music. All that is needed
to make the whole affair great sue
cess is good weather and it is hoped the
weather man will take good care of
this part of the affair.
In addition to the cavalrymen that
are coming here, on the fourth, the
mule pack train will also be here, max
ing over a hundred more men than |
was at first expected. The band will
get here about eight o'clock in the
morning,

Moorestown High School Makes
Important Change

Prof. George d. Baker, supervising
principal of the Moorestown schools
has been instrumental in having
adopted in Moorestown what is con-
sldered by modern educators as one OF
the most progressive and rational steps
educationally that has been taken for
years. The new plan was announced
by Mr.. Baker at the commencement
/ exercises held last week. 1t will be in
effect in September.
Briefly stated, the plan calls for the
establishment of an intermediate, or
Junior, high school. BY this method
the high school begins with the seventh
year of school work and continues
six years. A limited number of elect
ives are to be offered in the seventh
and eighth years, especially along the
lines of household arts, household
science, mechanical drawing, Ian
guages, and the various phases of
manual training.
AohOoAOh VIII NC ny SuOJeCt ABOVE
the sixth grade, not by year, as by the
old plan. In other words, the pupil
who fails in subject will be compelled
to repeat this subject only.
The new method of organization will
be no more expensive than the old
system. 1t will require one more
teacher in the industrial department.
but one less in the grades. The state
pays one half of the expenses of in
dustrial courses.
Moorestown is the third school in
New Jersey to adopt this progressive
plan. Since Prof. Baker, with his
modern outlook and initiative, has
been in charge, he has brought the
Moorestown schools to point second
to none in the state in excellence. Mr..
Baker has been chosen as one of the |
instructors at the state summer school |
at Ocean City, where his subjects will
be algebra and school management.

pose of receiving instructions concern
ing the enforcement of the curfew
ordinance enacted few months ago.
Many complaints had been made about
the number of children seen on the
streets after 8 o'clock unattended.
The funeral of J. Morgan Darby,
who committed suicide by shooting
last Sunday, was held on Thursday
from his parents home on Farnsworth
avenue. The Rev. Allan N. Nettle-

The City Commission in campaign
for the improvement of the appear
ance of the city will make an effort to
arouse the interest of the different
companies making use of street poles
and have them assist in this matter.
1t has been suggested to these com
panies by the governing body that
wherever possible the same pole could
be made use of by several companies
rather than poles for each one, thus
eliminating many unnecessary and
unsightly poles along the main thor
oughfares.

Well Merited Success

In the graduating class of the Mount
Holly high school, in 1906, under the
supervision of the late Professor Will
liam COLON Cook, was George Jarvis
Thompson. Going from here he de-
cided upon the profession of law and
entered the University OF Pennsyl-
vania, and then went to Harvard Col
lege. Leaving that institution he was
given an educational position in
China, returning to this country q
short time since. He then went to
Harvard to take post graduate course.
How well he has succeeded may be
gained from the following letter:
"Dear Mr.. Kingdom: Perhaps you
will be interested to hear that / have
successfully completed my post gradu-
ate course in the Harvard Law School,
and on Thursday / received the degree
of Doctor of Judicial Science My
classmate and friend, Francis Bowes
Sayre, son-in-law of President Wilson,
also won the same degree. We were
classmates in the class of 1912, Har-
ward Law School, and it has been
pleasure to study with him during the
past year.
ION April s, last, the President and
Fellows of Harvard University ap-
pointed me Ezra Riley Thayer Teach
ing Fellow in the Harvard Law
School for the year of 1918--1919. 1
will conduct the upper class course in
Carriers and Public Utilities, which
Dean Pound has given the school.
''Much as prize the honor of being
a member of the faculty of the Har
ward Law School, would prefer to be
in active service. but for physical rea-
sons have not been accepted. Should
the war continue another year or two
may have better luck. Meanwhile l
am aiding, as much as possible, by
selling Liberty bonds, etc,
Very truly yours
George Jarvis Thompson.
At the commencement exercises in
1906 Thompson read an essay which
attracted much attention, showing
that the writer had ability of high
character. The speaker of the evening
was very much interested in the young
man and predicted brilliant future
for him. Mr.. Thompson was hard
working student and when not in
school he could usually be found in the
Mount Holly library, reading such
works as might aid him in his educa-
ton. The writer of this item was
president of the Board of Education in
1906 and has always felt more than an
ordinary interest in the welfare of Mr..
Thompson, and we extend hearty con-
CALCULATIONS to him on his succession
to the position he now holds in one of
the foremost colleges of the United
States.

Riverside.

The Riverside township committee,
having been unable to effect an adjust
ment of the dispute between residents
and the Delaware River Water Com
pany, growing out of the freezing of
meters last winter, the matter probably
will be referred to the State Public
Utility Commission. The company
claims the householders are responsible
for the damage, and threaten to shut
off the service unless payment is made.
The local board of health is backing
the residents, who declare the meters
are the property of the company and
beyond private control, and that they
cannot be held responsible for fau lty
drainage.
