CAPE MAY HIGH SCHOOL ^ RECOGNIZED. The Cape May High School has scored again, having been granted certificate privileges by Vassar College. This means that a girl, who is graduated with grades of at least 80% in all subjects offered for entrance, will be admitted to Vassar without examination. This privilege has been already granted by Mt. Holyoke as well As by several of the leading colleges for men, and, 60 our approval by Vassar is additional proof that our school ranks with first class secondary schools. Moreover, our Alumni are now doing excellent work in institutions, and several have graduated with honor. A boy of a girl, who wishes to prepare for any college or professional school, may secure the necessary preparation without leaving home; but ho one will be recommended whose work is not well above the passing grade, 80% being the standard insisted upon at present.

After that date every resident of New Jersey who wishes to fish must have a license, and this will cost $1.15 even for those who own their own pounds. Non-residents will have to pay more.

" The reason for this tax is the expensa involved in re-stockiing the streams. " The fish hatchery in Warren County and the game farm in Ocean County cost ® more than $1,000 a week. The appro7 priation last* year was $60,000 and ' $71,400 the year before. r A large majority of the population ' have no opportunity to hunt or fish.
