Old School Houses Sold
The Little Red School Houses
Grown To Big Graded Scheels

Last Saturday the Board of Educa-
ton of Upper Penns Neck Township
sold three district school houses, one of
which dates back to a hundred years,
where our great ,grandfathers and
grandmothers graduated with pride
when they could read in the Fifth
Reader and cipher to the Rule of
Three, which is proportion. Pride was
taken in writing then. Many with a
goose quill pen made with a "pen'
knife were skilled artists in compar-
Iison with what many children learn to
write now in a way that is a disgrace
to our higher education.
Wiley school house five miles from
Penns Grove on the road to Sharptown
was sold to. Wilmer K. Layton for
i$145.
December 18th, 1919, David Wiley
gave a deed to John Burden, David
Sparks, Daniel V~anneman, John Hol-
ton and Richard Kirby, trustees of
Wiley School for a quarter acre of
land for the only purpose of building
and maintaining a school thereon.
When the school was no longer needful
the land returns to David Wiley or his
successors.
Wright's School house with half an
acre of land was sold for $500 to Fred
Neustater, who is manager of the
DUPONT Land Company, which owns
Christiana S. Wright farm adjoining
the school house.
February 18th, 1885, Thomas Flana-
gin, executor of Charles Dolbow, sold
to Isaac Wright, Edward Shoemaker,
Stacy d. Layton, trustees of Canal
School District No. 7 Commonly called
Wright's SchooD half acre of land for
$25. John X. Louderback was the
commissioner of deeds to witness the
conveyance.
Central School house was sold to
Thomas S. Flanagan for $170. This
school house was built about 1874, on
land given by Lemuel Peterson. The
land reverts to Mr.. Flanagan who now
owns the Peterson farm.
About seven years ago the Board
of Education of the Township closed
Central School and transported the
children to Penns Grove. The Cove
school was closed six years ago. Two
years ago Wrights and Wiley were
closed. The children in Wrights dis

school. Those in Wiley district are
hauled to Auburn.
The first district school in Upper
Penns Neck was Greens School house
which stood on the Bevis farm adjoin-
ing Harvey Pedrick's farm. 1t was
built about 1896. 1t was sold to John
Peterson when Central was built and
it is now used as a hen house on Mrs.
Daughters farm. The old Central
School house stood on the Dolbow
farm on the Auburn road. 1t was
built in the 1850's and was torn down
when the new Central was built.
Cove school was built in 1884, old
Harmony in 1912.
The. old district schools are a thing
of the past. The big graded schools
now teach more efficiently.

ganization that they are going to
Trenton at the next term of the Legis-
lature as Assemblyman and Senator
sought the advice of the County orga-
nization in the premises and have de-
cided to put forward Mr.. John NJ. Wei
don as Assemblyman with Charles E.
Wood as Senator. Weldon and Wood
are well known in the County and
would have a strong following. Both
these gentlemen have canvassed the
county on several occasions for patri-
otto purposes and would swamp the
Ants who have but a small following
in Carneys Point only. The Salem

and even Robinson + favorable to
Weldon's candidacy, while Collins B..
Allen would look with favor upon
Wood providing he does not get. re-
nominated to succeed himself.
Of course, the season is yet early
and Oldmans still has a Just claim
upon Robinson's toga. VIM. l.. Stiles,
who was defeated in the nomination
two years ago and who supported Rob

and no doubt will.
1t is understood that a young and
