WEST CAPE MAY SCHOOL REPORT niiNcmi BASTiNes comment foliates' Use if Cap aid Gown ; at Coameacemeat First Appearaace ia Unity The year just passed marks an important and an eventful era in the history of the public schools of West Cape May. Probably the most significant event is the placing of the High ^ School on the "Approved List" of aebools having a three year course. A complete physical laboratory has been added to our equipment as well as a fine microscope. For general use a cabinet of exhibits illustrating the industrial products'of the world has been placed in the building. One new teacher in the person of Miss Hastings | has been added to the high school j I* force. ■ The year has been especially marked by reason of the interruptions to the work of the school, occasioned by sickness in our community. We have lost during the year from all causes, 24 , Working days, however, we think that we have a very creditable report to offer our friends. The total registration for the year ie 253 pupils. The respective rooms registering as follows : High, 29 ; Mr. "Beeves. 82; Miss Springer, 26; Miss Tlrewton, 47; Miss Hillman, 34; Mr. Moore, 87; Miss Curry, 47. Of this number 86 were boys and 116 girls. Three pupils were in attendance every day. ulius Morton. Helen Cresse, I Ethelyn Harris. The percent 1 ge of attendance for the respective rooms follows: Miss Curry. .88; Mr. Moore. .90; Miss Billman. .89; Miss Brew ton, .92; Miss Springer, .94; Mr. Reeves, .94; High •chool, .96. "be average .'number on] roll for each month in the year was 191, with an average attendance for the same ot 168, affording a general per cent, of attendance of 92. ■ The whole number of days attendance claimed as the basis of state ■appropriation is in the white school 20,192, annex. 9201 ; with an additional 1457 day claimed by reason of quaran- ; tine, making a grand total of 80,854. The absences are divided as follows : High, 117; Mr. Beeves, 286; Miss Springer, 189; Miss Brewton. 484; Miss Hillman, 413; Mr. Moore, 464 ; Miss Ourry. 622, or a total of 2543. . This increase of days absent can be 'accounted for in part by taking into iftooaideration the fear lof (parents for !of their children during the sickness of the year. Still hat there is a growing tenallow the child to remain m school upon too slight a te Department will require inspection of all schools durming year. This inspection oog Ebe lines of the eyes, a, teeth and throat of the Instruction will be given a the first symptoms of coor*«— and to the children in r care of body and clothing, upon the parents tbe necesI owing out any recommendaiay be given by tbe inspector, sally those with regard to ind teeth. We are convinced more each year, that in t

' 4* • * 7 many cases tbe advance of the pupil is . retarded to a very great degree from some slight physical defect in eyp or | ear, that could be easily remedied- We ( hope that parents will use their better Judgment and look upon this forced inspection as a thing for tbe best interest of their children. 4 COMMENCEMENT. The Commencement exerc:ses fur J Grammar and High School were held at tbe Chapel on tbe evenldg of £ June 10. Despite the threatening aa- , pact of the weather, a company large enough to pack the building to tbe doors * assembled to honor tbe closing event * of tbe year. ,. Tbe interior of the building charmed 4 eye and gratified tbe most fastidious seeker after artistic beauty. under I the skillful direction of Mr. Allan J Ewing, tbe interior decorations bad been worked out. Falling in graceful . folds on tbe wall and on each side of the stage were bands of the school colors, maroen and white, broken at intervals by tbe West Cape May pennants. The figures '99 in maroon and white held a prominent place in the center of the gracefully falling drapery. The stage proper was formed at " either side and rear by heavy curtains b carrying out tbe same color scheme, t At tbe rear center was the entrance . outlined in white, back of the entrance r was placed a bank of our wild ferns and flags, filled in which the beautiful corymbs of rhododendron, tbe gift of Mr*. Richardson. Running from the top back to each corner in front ' were bands of maroon and white, which ' were then allowed to fall to the floor. The front of the platform was thrown Into relief by a bank of rhododendrons Rotted ferns were grouped so as to give tbe stage the appearance of s well 1 appointed reception room. Afte : tbe grammar school gradua* es, Irving Benstead, Julius "Morton, Wes1 ley Toy and Tillv Ravfield had delivered their parts. Principal Hastings invited to tbe platform the 'speaker of 1 the evening the Rev. "Francis T. H . Finn, of Valley Forge,'Ps., The three young ladies forming the class entering from the rear were received by them. Tbe 'young ladies of tbe claas had 'discarded the traditional "fluffy ■ rp files" and flowers'and made their ap- : pearance in the classic cap and gown, While this is the first appearance of , the cap and gown on the commencef ment platform in tbe county, yet from the laudatory comments made by an , aoproving audience we predict that it I will not be the last. 1 The first speaker of the evening was c Mary Ewing Eldredge. with an essay ' entitled "When Dreams Come True." ' ' In her essay Miss Eldredge in a very M interesting wav traced the history "of I Cape Mav County a'ong the lines of | its industrial development in general, I and the position held by Cape May » City as a summer resort. The second ■ part of the essay gave a "vision splent did" of the future of tbe city. Tbe I delivery of the essay was well ext ecuted. The appearance of the speaker > in cap and gown can best be described in words heard many times .jince, 1 "Just too sweet for anything. " In "Uncrowned Heroes" Tryphena MacKean showed that tbe true hero was too often unrecognized by the ( world. The essay was well written the thoughts clearly expressed and the ' whole carried to a logical conclusion. The speaker made an impressive appearance and delivered her part in f an easy and graceful manner, j The last speaker of tbe evening - Mabel G. Richardson, traced "Tbe 1 Rise of the Drama" from its earliest i beginning^ to the present time. The f essay showed careful research, wide j reading, and under "Miss Richardson's ; treatment proved very interesting and r was listened to with the cloeeat attention by an appreciative audience. Cap . and gown well became the grace and > form of the speaker. The paper was 1 delivered in a well modulated voice. 1 distinctly audible in all parts of the - building. At the conclusion of the essay the Rev. Finn gave the claas a very im9 pressive and forceful address. His ; subject was the "Womanly Woman" as typified by "Rebekah at the well." In very masterful words be held up 2 to them this beautiful character. The 3 easy manner, elegance of diction, and r beauty of tboaght of the s pecker won 2 for him the closest attention. 1 After the presentation of the ' diplomas, and the class bad retired B from the platform, the Principal * called to tbe front the boys and girls who had won promotion during tbe e year, and presented them with their certificates. c A very important element in tbe auccess of tbe evening was the music by ' Mr. Reeves. and Miss Eldredge. This D part of tbe program was greatly en " joyed by, tbe audience. n Thus another year has passed away and we are (poking forward now to tbe " work ol the coining year with great l' anticipations. No change with tbe ex- '• caption ot Miss Cony who has re0 signed, has been made in tbe teaching force. We hope that we shall be able D to command the same loyal support |

Jl CHILDREN'S DAY AT WEST CAPE \ MAY A comfortably fillet bouse grreted thajchiloren st the Chapel last Sunday ,r afternoon. The decorations under the c direction of Mrs. Willis were of the ,f usual order, flowers, ropes of daisies and festoons of green. e Tbe primary department presided , over by Mrs. Schellengei and Mrs. Petti t, were given the post of honor, being arranged upon the platform. The little people went through their parts d in their accustomed artless childish ' simplicity. ir The recitations by-tbs older children 0 showed the careful training of their 3 instructor and reflected great credit to '1 her as well as to themselves. The e music; was under the direction of SupL Reeves and Mias^rewton. 1 Dr. Dobbins, of the Methodist 1- Church, gave a highly interesting and d instructive talk directly to tbe chile dren. and by implication fitted it to tbe • audience in general, upon the "Ruling t of tbe Kingdom of Self. " ■ AN OUTDOOR LUNCHEON An outdoor luncheon at the gravel e pits at Brick Hill, New Jersey, was e tendered by William G. Moore on Mon8 day, tbe following being tbe invited 1 guests: Senator Robert E.
