New Colored
School Proposed
Will Probably Cost 100000. Lo-
cation Undecided.

The story of this year in Beverly
schools is one to be proud of, it is
marked by unrhistakable signs of
progress and improvement in the
work of the school. The Supervisor
has been impressed by the improved
attitude of the pupils The number
of those who take pride in doing
their tasks well has increased greatly
and there has been a great decrease
in the number of those cases in dis
cipline which is the result of the lack
of interest in the work of the class
room.
Now comes before the Board of Ed
ucation and the Common Council, the
question of school for the colored
children. This has been advocated
for quite some time by some of Bev-
erly's leading colored citizens, which
resulted in placing the colored child
rem in the City Hall, which was fitted
out to serve as temporary school.
The question is, Shall the City
spend $4,000 to remodel the City Hall
or build new school which would
probably cost $4,000? Most people
are of the opinion that spending the
money on the present City Hall
would be foolhardy If it were to be
used as school. On the other hand,
is the colored population large enough
to- warrant the expenditure of so
much money.
Secretary McDermith, of the state
building inspection board, was called
upon to go over the matter and it
has been said that he strenuously OBJ
jected to the $4,000 proposition,
A committee of the Board of Edu-
cation has been appointed to obtain
options on several desired locations,
which would be suitable for a color
ed school.

BURLINGTON POLICE OFFICER
INDICATED FOR "ROUGHNESS'
johnson Insisted That The Case Be
Brought To Trial.

A case was tried in Mount Holly
on Monday, the outcome of which is
of interest to every police officer in
Burlington County.
Captain William Johnson, of the
Burlington police force, was tried on
the charge of unnecessary brutality
in arresting Bryan Meredith, farm
hand, who is alleged to have come
into town drunk, used abusive and
indecent language and pushed other
folks off the sidewalks. When John
son attempted to arrest him Mere
dith is said to have resisted, and had
to be subdued in the manner custom
airy in such cases.
The charge was made by William
Livezey. who is said to have grudge
against the officer who arrested him
for parking his car on the wrong side
of the street some time ago.
After being out few minutes the
jury acquitted Captain johnson. Mrs.
HI ward Griffith, of Burlington, was
foreman of the jury.
In the vindication of Captain John
SON every police officer in the county
will feel that their rights and their
authority have been sustained.
1t was stated that attempts had
been made to "fix it up out of court, /"
but that johnson had insisted in the
matter coming to trial. He wanted
to know, he said, whether he was to
be police officer with power to en-
force the laws or spineless thing to
be brushed aside by every drunk that
came into town.
He found his answer in the ver-
dict of acquital.

THEODORE BONFIELD

Death in noble cause of one
who is revered and loved, is an
almost matchless source of inspira-
ton.
Not all the heroes of nations die
on the battlefelds of war, nor in the
worldly achievements of men. There
is a service, to which we can dedi-
cate our lives, far more noble and
glorious.
1t is at the font, where in the
presence of God and our loved ones,
we are made members of Christ's
flock; signed with the sign of the
cross, in token that hereafter we
shall not be ashamed to confess the
faith of Christ crucified, and man.
fully to fight under His banner,
against sin, the world, and the devil,
and to continue Christ's faithful sol
oilers and servant unto our life's
end"
I'd this blessed service our dear
brother dedicated himself, His life
was sublimely and practically lived
in obedience to the terms Of this
holy sconsecration. God reveals In
His children, that the greatest thing
onssearth, is the self-sacrificing dove
and disinterested service which are
associated with the daily response
bilities of life.
Those whom the Holy Spirit
touches and whose hearts are ahame
with Christ-like love for God and
man, are destined to an inheritance
promised by our blessed Father in
Heaven, to all His faithful children.
The noblest life and the greatest
victory, is to live for our Lord, and
to die in Him.
The gracious kindness, the splen-
did courage, and Christian spirit of
Theodore Bonfield testified to the
truth of his devotion to his God.
The beautiful examplifcation Of
his sanity character, was in his de-
votion to his Lord and fellowmen,
that in every way contributed
strength and inspiration to those who
knew and loved him. His life was
great because of his vision, faith,
love and gentle simplicity, never
permitting his own interests to inter
fere with his duty to loved ones,
Church and community.
His vital sympathy, gracious kind
ness and genial manner made him a
sincere friend. His contribution to
this community was life of faith
fulness and enthusiasm for the high
est ideals, self-sacrificing service to
his Church and fellowmen.
Prominent, keenly alive to all
needs, and active in all matters per-
tanning to the welfare of his town,
he was interested in every move
ment for the betterment of our
city. His loss rs very real and
serious one to the Church he loved
so devotedly, the city he served so
faithfully, and to all of us who love
him so dearly.
A good man has been taken from
US to his blessed reward. We thank
God for the good name which is
better than great riches" and that
he has left this community an ex-
ample of noble, sincere Christian
manhood which all can safely follow.
"One less at home,
The charmed circle broken,
One dear face missed from its ac-
customed place,
But cieansed and sanctified and
spirit striven,
One more in Heaven"

In particular he seeks to rearrange

her exporters, who, in turn, pass on
the payment to the British govern

GENEVA, February 5.-Canada has

her convention signed with the United

Her act in doing this has created un-

she had made direct registration of a

through Great Britain as inter-

League opinion here is inclined to
view the act as manifestation of

The moral advantage that the
American League champions gained
in downing the younger National
League club in the first and most
important game was even more than
the mathematical points derived.
The first victory not only inspired
the veterans but it gave them a
margin for Buck Harris to work on.
Harris can gamble now with his
pitchers and he will gamble, every
baseball man knows, as there is no
manager in the game who is as
willing to take chances.
