I DEDICATION OF WOODBINE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING The ch-dtfation of the new Woodbine High School occurred on Monday .and ) was a very enthusiastic celebration. Ini- terest in educational matters is always SI very 'keen at Woodbine and the most J j up-to-date public school facilities are S being acquired. The new high school I building is in accord with the state's building requirements and is very conf , lenient and very attractive in appear1 1 a uce, doing our Woodbine friends no li j end of credit. People who are interest- ■ I ed will find a visit to Woodbine school f well worth Xvhile. Incidentally Wood- , bine's need of a high school building was nothing to Cape May's need for such a L building. „ The program follows: .

* CAPE MAY : NO COPYIST t this city won its fame and c maintains it on individuality '' alone. i- — r" tape May has the distinction, among ° resorts, of being original. It is not a ■" copy after any other, in any particular 11 whatever, and we can think of no gi eater error in the promotion of its in- * terests than an attempt to change existirig features for the purpose of copying those used in some other resort. One of the ideas which seem .to prevail among those who have not thought up- * on this subject, in our opinion, in terms r of the best interests of Cape May, is that we should have an elevated board18 walk, because this sort of thing has * proven successful at Atlantic (Sty. Another thing advocated is water meters for all eottages, and in listening d to the arguments advanced by the advo- ® rates of these innovations, one Is ■ >' struck by the iteration and reiteration ' 6 of the statement that "Atlantic City , »• has 'em," as though this was an ar- ' b gunient for tliem instead of, as it really ' b if. an argument against them, so far as Cape May is concerned. Cape May will 0 never be a success by copying after some other resort. It has always had ; 7 distinctive advantages, one of which has | been its "finest beach in the world" and ! n the other the unobstructed view of the d sea and its phenomena from almost any I II part of the resort. One of the most I b prominent men of Atlantic City, said n to us not very long ago, "Give "us your '• beach drive and your unobstructed ! beach and we will give you our elevated j hoanlwalk-.aud all that goes with it." Cape May can not hope to winHhesame i people who fr<-qucnt other resorts and] C enjoy best l heir particular features, j n There are plenty of other people who j iv much prefer the features which liave won ' fame for Cape May, and prefer them 0 just as they an-. These features should * be emphasized and preserved and the one thing which threatens them is the unscrupulous speculator and promotor e «" whom Cape May's interests would mean nothing if there were opportunity - to "clean up" a few hundreds or thousands at its expense. 8 The annoyance of water meters is felt at Atlantic City as well as afrevery y other^resort which has them and are 11 resented by the summer renters. It is e because of the absence of this and other ». annoyances that Cape May is and has t been for several years, one of the most - popular cottage resorts in the country, and Atlantic City and other resorts f competing, would be very glad to have e Cape May acquire as many things as 1 possible which would prove annoying to ® visitors, for this would drive summer peot pie in their direction. Tliose who are » interested in and loyal to Cape May, however, will oppose vehemently innos various palpably injurious. f Keller Bros, have moved their beautiful billiard and pool parlors from the boardwalk for the winter season to the Colonial Cafe, comer Pacific and Schels Avenues.
