GOVERNOR SETS DATE FOR
SCHOOL WEEK OBSERVANCE

Gov. James M. Cox has issued q
proclamation designating the week Of
Dec. 5-11 as School Week. The goal
for this specially designated period Of
concerted effort is to effectively dis
seminate among the people accurate
information in regard to the conditions
and needs Of the schools, to enhance
appreciation of the value Of education
and to create such interest as will re-
suit in better opportunities for educa-
tion.
Some of the suggestions set forth
for improvement are: Strife in eaci,
educational unit to get more children
in school; to develop greater regular
lty OF attendance on the part of those
now in school, and to see that the
truancy laws are enforced; to create
sentiment fora longer school term;
and to drive home the conviction that
Ohio is not giving her schools financial
support commensurate with her ability
and their needs. and compares unfav-
orably with many other states in the
matter, ranking seventeenth in the
union.
The State Department of Education
recommends that on Sunday, Dec. S,
ministers use one or more of their
church services for emphasizing the
Importance if education; that other
organizations devote their meetings on
this day to discussions of the value of
education, and that the Kiwanis clubs
and similar associations devote one
meeting during the week to discus
sion of this vital subject.
1t has been suggested that there be
a light in every school house on the
night of Dec. 10.

DR.. Wilson G.. Bailey at meet
ing Of the Camden Section of the

Commission on Spiritualism. That re.
port was made in 1887 by, commission

Horace Howard Furness. Coleman Sci.
lers, James S. White. Calvin B. Knorr

tion was made possible by a bequest
from Henry Seybert of $50 900. who left
the legacy to the University of Penn

appoint commission to investigate
spirituaism honestly.
In his criticism Doctor Dailcy said
that the preface to the 1926 reprint
which preface was written by Horace
Howard Furness, Jr.. showed the re-
port was made in a spirit of satire. 1t
was not the report "of an investiga

Street Ferry at Camden to Iorkship

passengers. 1t has been doing big
jitncy business for several months.
Everything went all right until the
vehicle reached the Morgan street
Federal street ferry. At the crossing
are tracks Of the West Jersey aud Sea
shore Railroad and also single track
over which trains of the Grenloch
branch run.

ances maintained there. following three
fatal accidents.
In one Of these accidents n woman
was instantly killed and another time
two men were killed in a collision be-
tween a train and their motortruck.
The watchman standing at the Nor
gan street crossing waved the fated
vehicle back to permit a southbound
passenger train to pass. There are
three tracks at the crossing, the middle
one reserved for express trains and
separated from the others by low
wooden fence. After the southbound
train passed by the driver OF the bus
started his machine. The Waterman
insists he waved frantically and shouted
to "go back.
The rumbIing Of the southbound train
as il swept past may have drowned out
the noise Of the oncoming express, wit
nesses say, and caused the driver to go
ahead.
With a crash that was heard for
blocks, the electric express tore the bus
to pieces. Some Of the victims and
fragments OF the bus were carried more
than 300 feet, leaving a train Of
wounded strewn along the sides Of the
track.
The passengers in the bus were
