Tbe annual meeting of the County Boards of Education held in the Spectatorium at Court House on Saturday, was with the president, Dr. Douglass, chairman, and Clement H. Newkirk of " . West Cape May, secretary. The attendance was good, very few districts not being represented by some one interested. Tbe five women members, two Of Stone Harbor, and three of Dennis Township, were all present. Tbe reports from all sections showed for progress in everything making for the instruction and health of the children. The new teachers employed were all Of better attainments than in the past, and the influence of the summer _ school was telling in the wprk of others. In answering to the call f the District Clerk of. the Stone Harbor school. Miss Van Thuyne, voiced a need which all preeent had at heart, and for the diseussion of Which a special period was Made, and to which State Commissioner gave his sp&uU word of approvel, name-' lyr instruction in Manual Training, 1 ■tunic and drawing in the grammar grades. - In the Stone Harbor school ' there were ao funds available for tools, ataterisl; ■equipment or instruction, but 1 the desire fot'it'waa so great the chii- 1 dren bad, earned the money for a beginning, 'apd, fie president of the Board, ' a good workman, had given Instructive 1 advice and. oversight to the boys' work 1 and good housekeepers, and the mothers I bad instructed the girls in cooking and ' sewing. The influence upon the pupils ' was good, it being e reward for all the ' class work called for to be permitted to ' engage in it. The purpose in mention- ' «ng it was that in being placed before ' so many who must or should be inter- ' ested, some means could be suggested ' whereby a trained teacher and needed ' material and equipment could be had 1 The outcome of the discussion was the r suggestion, approved by all, from Com- 1 miasioner Kendall, that nearby comtnu- v aities unite in employing an instructor, r hiw* dnlypslft Bmy would be needed for-1 1 any one • school, and, again, all should v unite in maldng up the *280, the lowest 1 sum the State recognises and which the 1 law permits thr» State to match for use e for just this purpose. Superintendent n Hand has ipng had the matter in mind s and in connection with the Vocational 1 work in the county, and he was glad Iniu uir cuuDiy, ana ne giaa in-

deed to have this expression voicing his own ideas. A detailed report from the Upper Township Board showed school matters there to be up to the mark and the interest keen. Progress was the word from "West Cape May. and that not only wenf things a -doing but were getting ahead in all that pertained to mental and physical gain. Attendance had gained 213 in the-past five years. Schoolhouses .were in good shape, but with some problems in ventilation requiring great care to meet requirements. Disinfection was begun with the present acbool year and with marked improve- j merit in the health of the pupils. Attendance has peen good except of the younger pupils in Rtormy weather. For this Superintendent Hand suggested transportation. Wildwood had school extension to report in its new schoolhouse to cost $100,000 and its school for colored pupils to cost *17,500. Middle Township had an excellent lot of teachers and was doing much in transportation. Only one attendance officer, L. R. Thomas, of Ocean City, reported and his : report was so complete and held so ' many suggestions H will be given in full in another issue. A letter from a Medical Inspector in ' the northern part of the state gave a 1 plan for other inspectors to work by, but was by far too extended and ietri- 1 cate to suit the conditions of our 1 county and was by unanimous content ; given to Dr. Douglass to revise and • make to suit local needs and practice. r

Superintendent Hand used the closing hour of the morning session for lan- 1 tern pictures -showing schools in differ- j , ent parta of the county and operations in vocational work and in recreation en- i gaging the children during the period since the last meeting, and which will be referred t# in another issue. . It was Commissioner Kendall's first meeting with the Ope May Oounty Board of Education, and if he told the truth he was as much pleased with ' what he badAieard and the members he met, aa 'were the members In his ; address and in making his acquaintance i This address an hour long, was full of interest and held indications of a personal push likely to follow in matters I the county Is striving for. i | An illustrated lecture upon the Pilgrim I and the Pilgrim' Country, was i most interesting, but disturbing aa well ' in holding proofs that put- histories 1 must have their beginnings rewritten. 1 and many of our literary gems must be < relegated to the shelves of the myths « and fairy talcs. Many of us date back i in our forebears to the landing on the < Rock, but are misty as bvpilgrimz from c what and from where, and, not a few must bo glad that it all harks back to the Johnny Bull that from quick mother 1 wit bottled up the boasted "prepared- ' ness" and has kept it trotting in a, peck,' for nearly two years, and" So" 1 way out, and to the brave little ""Hoi- ' land with its woman queen.

J., Feb. 17, 1916. 1 Editor of Chpe May Star and Wave, Cape May, N. J. Dear Sir: 1 In vohr issue of Saturday, February y 12th, we noticed your short article on * ? J)r. Stowe's being refused by the Board ' ® of Education of Atlantic City 'to speak : ', to the pupile in the public schools. What - you say in the matter about tbe schools - being kept free, is true. You go on to r infer that 'Dr. Stowe nroselytes and 1 - that he intended in speaking to tie pu- ' t pils in the way of proselyting. I fail r to see the point. S 1 From all I have read. Dr. Stowe does ; not. make capital out of deaomniatkms : and although I bare read a great deal i abort "him, I do not know to Which ' ehimA he belong*, other than thai he is a Protestant. Aa the Catholics have V ' > parochial school in Atlantic City #nd aa : they .do not believe in the publm sehools I I cannot see how he can be accused of

d proselyting unless you mean by wioning people to a life of Christianity. I - do not think Dr. Stowe even preaches against Catholicism. . The Board of Education was within n its rights and it may have been a wise s | thing to do although most people aupe |>pse' it was dona because tbe Board is - a body appointed by Mayor Riddle, who y is apparently working for a djfferene Master than Dr. Stowe. e iAs I' oay, the decision may be all right 1 and only' influenced by the desire to not i inteMete with the school work, but we- . dp not think the fear of proselyting would be a.fair one to base the refusal . upon. s . . , Yours cordially, I • W.
