1t was with much qualification that
hundreds of parents and other citi-
zens viewed the work of the special
departments of the High School at
the second annual exhibit held in the
building yesterday afternoon and last
night.
Demonstra ting the efforts of the
physical training, drawing, sewing,
cooking and music sections, the pos
sibilities of these special branches of
the work were learned last night by
scores of people who had no thought
that such accomplishments were be-
ing taught as part of the regular
school system.
The corridors and board room
where the drawing exhibit held forth
were we'll filed all evening, the gym
nasium proved entirely too small for
such occasions during the physical
demonstration and the auditorium
found scores standing about the walls
and in doorways. all seats being filled
during the fashion parade.
The physical training demonstra-
tion, under the supervision of Miss
Marion Burns, the physical direc-
tor held forth during the evening
session only proved perhaps the
greatest attraction. AS was told by
Principal Edgar Kleinhans doing
the intermission, Miss Burns sought
to develop grace. speed, skill, en-
durance, cooperation and recrea-
ton in her girls, and all of these
qualities were faithfully brought out
during the many and varied num-
bers of the program. Under the
supervision of Miss Beatrice CHS
holm, the music director, the pro-
gram opened with selection.

forced to respond to an encore.
The 'mimetics" by Section C. proved
splendid piece of skill and origi-
nality. having been conceived and
directed by the section itself. The
marching tactics by the freshmen
was also source of wonder to the
guests who could find not flaw in
the entire drill which, like every
other part of the program was car
ried on entirely without count from
a leader.
The Tripoli Trapola, a Spanish
dance, given by Misses Marion Lar
sen and Edith Mckenzie evoked
much applause and was repeated.
IHe lIluldu cluD uIlll, the OlQ MOle
English Country dance and the
stunts" demonstrated Miss Burns
very efficient methods and were
boisterously received.
The ''Voilette," a unique and
graceful old fashioned dance was
rendered by Misses Bertha Mcdowell
and Anna Handerhan who also
were obliged to repeat the entire
dance.
The Swedish gymnastics, which
consisted of large group of girls
receiving extemporaneous commands
in combinations they were unaccus-
toned TO. proved exceptional alert
ness and thorough practice on the
part of this section.

In its early days Perth Amboy
had a number of good governors
and some bad. One of the latter
was Lord Cornbury, a cousin of
Queen Anne.
Because of certain acts of Corn
bury, he was refused communion by
the Rev. Thorogood Moore and the
Rev. Mr.. Brook of the Established
Church. For this affront, Cornwall
had both of the ministers arrested
and sent to New York for imprison-
ment. There they escaped, fed to
Boston and returned to England.
After this unpleasant incident
Queen Anne, who was friendly to
Perth Amboy and wished to show it
evidence of her favor, presented a
handsome silver service to st.
Peters church.
In 1876, John Hamilton became
acting governor of the New Jersey
province. Hamilton has the distinc-

Because of the sociaistic expert

bearing on the losal situation.
