In the firtt game Cape ,May Court House H. S. fell before the home team by a score of 8-6. The second game with Woodbine H. S. was lost after eleven innings of poor base ball. The next game with Tucka- 1 hoe H. 8. was a farce, Cape May-finally winning 20-19. The game with Hammonton H. 8. was canceled owing to rain. The batting of the team has been fair but the fielding has been very ragged ' and an improvement will have to take ' place if the team is to keep on winning. : The team does not realize the value ' of practice and if more practice is not ' done, a slump will take place as the ! schedule becomes harder as the season gets along. As yet a strong line up has not rep- ' resented the blue and black, both the in- J field and the outfield have been patched, and much experimenting done, but now a ' line has been gotten on the new mater- ° ial and a strong team will me found in

the next few games. None of the members of las year's team have displayed good form and only a few of the new men, some of whom | will improve in time. To-day the team will travel to Ocean CSty to play the High School 'team of that city, and a fast game is expected. DAHLIAS*' Get your dahlias at E. 8. Howell Gardens, Cape May Court House, N. J..

The case which attracted moat attention in this term of court was the Supreme Court Issue of Priscilla Bright, wife of former Sheriff W. H. Bright, of Wildwood against Robert Bright, his brother, administrator of the estate of Henry Bright, the father, deceased, to recover $3655, alleged to be due for j maintenance of the father from June 17, ! 1901, until May, 14, 1913, a period of 620 weeks. The trial ocecurrcd on Thursday and the case was given to the , jury in the afternoon. A sleepless night 1 was spent by the 12 men and finally a f compromise was effected and a verdict , of $600 rendered. The brothers had offered to pay this much before suit was entered. The claim made by them re- j duced to a few words, was that the old t gentleman's sen-ices were worth all that had been done for him. The small number of indictments by ( til Grand Jury," is largely due to the a untiring efforts of Prosecutor Jefferson, s he being in attendance before the court h each Wednesday to try all matters that can be tried without a jury.

NEWS AND COMMENT ITKM8 OF LOCAL INTKKR8T, PASSING EVENTS AND OCCURRENCES T GLEANED FROM HERE AND & THERE— READ THESE ARTICLES i ABOUT YdUR FRIENDS. 1 — — The nujnerous laws which are now on the statute books and which are being J passed for the various kinH« are so oppressive and absurd and unnecessary in many cases that a man who can avoid { doing business cannot be blamed if he does so. Incidentally a m«n who drives an automobile takes rank with the crim- , ins.' rlass under the laws aB soon as the fact leak? out and is treated accordingly. This shouTa"l:ave one good effect however, it should prt'vent the man who cannot afford the money; from investing in the machines, and thus .'siting all sorts of troubles and fines and bedcv'ilments. Then think of the law propped to license the hook and line fishermen! "Rje same Fish and Game Commission who' wants such a law as this lineenses every year, the most rapacious, the morn insolent and the most damaging trust in the country, the menhaden steamers, and for a paltry $25.00 per year permits them to rob the sea coast from one end 1 of New Jersey to the other of all kinds of fish. Eleven bills were introduced at the last session meddling with everything under the sun, excepting things that need to be meddled with. 1 * * * I Capt. A. G.

OUR SCHOOLS r To the Citizens of Cape May: *" ! It has always been the plan of tba subscriber to be open handed and plate g in his dealings with the community D which he has been privileged to reprm8 ent in various public offices. There has been no flinching u, the ■path of duty nor any seeking for the fag* paths of subterfuge or the suplnenesa it n expediency. g And in the position of a member e t i- the Board of Education there will be a» n deviation. 4 It ie to the interest of every citizen e to read this statement, it is of vital * important* to understand it The school as annh ig a eubjectrfl^n— . e to the heart of eiferytruC'imerican and V '' for H he wil1 u*jlally sacrifice -much. Perhaps this is the why • is so much discUj^d and criticised by 1 those principally wbo faww s about the trus conditions. This brings , -a, 0UR OWN school*. > Their weaknesses are those common ' 10 a" lhe Schools conducted under the i -present system of public education; and complaints and grievances arise from the same causes. ' Grievances are a minimum in the eonI duct of this school, and usually can be i traced to one or all of the following 1 causes: ■ 1. Deficiency, (mental.) 2. Irregular attendance. 3. Xtck of home discipline. 4. Advancing of pupils unprepared through overcrowding of class rooms, or from an overloaded curriculum The standing of the school is equal t* that of any school of the kind in the county. It has steadily advanced, with a fixedness of purpose in the past few years, an ordinary, unsystematical Approved List School, to a High School with systematized courses, whose, graduates are admitted to all colleges which admit graduates without examination. It is morel It is the High -School for tbe District of Cape May City, West Cape May, Cape May, Cape May Point and Lower Township. And it is fair to say, that this baa finally accomplished under the administration of the present Superintenand the progressive element in the of Education. ixiara o: Mucation.

THIS IS WHAT WE PROPOSE TO ^ KEEP! THERE MUST BE. AND WILL NOP BE, ANY BACKWARD STEP! THIS THEN IS WHAT WE HAVETHINK IT OVER! GET IT FIRMLY FIXED IN YOUR MIND! To face facts, let it be known and understood, that some persons are calling ^ for a change, in the head of the administration ! The PROS and the CONS both assert ^ that it is "up to the president of the ^ Board to decide." ^ It is not often in a man's life that ha is called, upon to make so important and ^ momentous a decision, ^ Herewith is the "horns of the dilemma" seized, and herewith the challenge accepted! ' Whatever change is made must be for the better and upon the lines of progressive advancement! HERE IT IS, AND THIS IS ALSO THE PRICE OF MY VOTE FOR IT! The Board" of School Estimslj, ulilwfc— ; consists of two members of the BoaiX I of Education, two members of CSty Council, and tbe Mayor, must guarantee sufficient funds to: — 1. Place the present building in con- . formity with the State Building Code; which means, (a) Removing the stairways, rebuilding and making fire-proof; ! (b) Improving the Fire Escapes; i (c) Removing the toilets and placing individual flushing conveniencies. 2. Provide a room for the backward pupils and a teacher for them; 3. Place a vacuum cleaning apparatus; 4. Repair the Boiler;

5. Place the salary of an experienced, executive manager with the proper training and school practice at $2000; 6. Also sufficient money to employ men teachers when the 'proper vacancies occur; and for proper medical inspection; 7. The Board of Estimates jpust recommend and the CSty Council must guar antee the issue of Bonds for the erection of a new, modern up-to-date High School building and a four room building for the Annex.
