Elections ale to be held in all towni. boroughs and townships, and although women may serve as members of the BChool boards they cannot vote for a member of the board. They can vote on the appropriation Hats. There are no school elections In first, sec ond or third class cities of the State, because the appolntmeuts of school boaf-d members In those cities Is left with the Mayor. In Glassboro there will be a factional light duo to the recent discharge of tho grammar school Janitor. There are two factions and the interest Is Intense. The friends of the Janitor held u meeting nnd decided to sup port Charles' F. Repp, prohibition leader; C E. Cullough and H. II. Hawkins. Samuel V. Beckett, who has been president of the board for twenty-two out of twenty-four years as a school director, will not seek, re election on account of the criticism which arose over the Janitor. ThomaB McCullough, whose term nlso expires, will seek re-election and It Is believed that Mrs. Charles B, Ped rick, who was defeated a year ago, will be a candidate again this year and will bo ac tively supported by the women. In Colllngswood and West Collingswood to. day the members of the Women's Club are busy soliciting the support of the men voters to elect the club's former president, Mrs. Christopher B, Baeslcr. A yearago the women, with the assistance of the men, elected Mrs. Clara Pcttlgrnw a member of the board. This year they feel that they can elec: Mrs. Baesler by a big majority and they claim the support of tho men of West Collingswood. Mrs. C. B. Durborrow, in all probability, will be re-elected amember of tho board In Blverton. Both men and women seem to favor her return. Charles W. Klpp also will be re elected, and John R. Nalsby will likely be elected to the seat made vacant by the resig nation of Thomas Moore. There arc five candidates In the Held In Deptford township, with three members to be elected. They are James I'. Warrick, county road supervisor; John Everwine, Jo seph B. Cllft, Harry D. Keech and Balrd D. Jones. This district takes hi Almonesson, Woodbury HelghtB and part of Westvllle. There are three members to be elected In Haddon Heights and It-Is likely II. F. Goff. J. M. Alexander and William Ollvcry will be ic-elected to tho board. An appropriation of $27,000 Is to be voted upon. This will Include Increased salaries for the teachers nnd re pairs to schools. Resldtnts of Citrncjs Point have asked the school board of Upper Penns Neck to build a new ten-room schoolhouse for the children of the powder workers and an np proprlatlon of J 10,000 will be voted upon.

This wag the simple statement of Mrs. John Crosby Dorsey, mother of four stalwart sons, as she received congratulations this morning on the enlistment In the Unlled States marine corps of her third son, John f. Dorsey, Jr., twenty-six years otd, John will go "over there" to Join his two brothers, Edward nnd Howard, nineteen and twenty three years old, respectively, who have been In tho trenches since last June "soinewhete In France." with tho Fifth Regiment, United States Marines, among the first American de tachments to enter European trenches. Mrs. Dorsey lifted from her lap a weather stained service flag and began putting the stitches In a third big blue star, which, with two others, makes up the triple symbol of patriotism of the Dorsey household, tUS Wyaluslng avenue, "John has been married seven months," she said in a brave, firm voice. "He tried to enlist last summer when his brothers went, but he was Just recovering from sickness and wasn't In eood condition." She showed France. Picture of the two boys In "Fine fellows?'' she nsked. "Why. of course they're lino fellows ! All my boys are Hue fellows. Just look at Howard here; lie's tho oungest only nineteen years old. lsnt he straight nnd tall In his uniform? Doesnt he lock- Just splendid? 1 haven't heard fio.n my boys for quite a while now. Where ale they? How I wish I knew. When they write they date not even put at the top of the letter the place where they aro writing, and I never know whether they have been wounded or anything about them. The only way we, know they aro alive ia when we receive a letter and a.'l of these are censored before we get them." Just nt this moment the postman passed. "Sorry, nothing from France at the ofllce." said the blue-clad dellverymnn. touching his hat respectfully. 'Guess they haven't written yet." sighed the little mother, turning back to her sew ing. Then she laughed a bit unsteadily as she picked up the blR service, nag again, "I wrote the boys about this (lag when we llrt hung It out," she said, "and my jnungest wrote back and said he wus afraid the neighbors would think there was a sher iffs sale at the house with a red flag hang ing out under the porch rojf. Tho (lag has been nut thero since my boys left, last June. Oh. It Isn't the going away If we could only know that they will come back home safe and well!" And there was silence 'for a time in the little room, for there was nothing that the visitors could say. Mrs, Dorsey Is a member of the. Red Cross and the Mothers' Marine Club, Six teenth and Pine streets, of which she has been an active member since the enlistment ot her Bons. John Crosby Dorsey. Jr.. for whom tho third star Has been placed In the service Pag, will leavo next Monday for Paris Island. S. l, where he will enter the United Slates marine corps training station. Seven months ago he was married to JIIss Frederica Spald Ing. of 367 Poplar street. "I am willing my husband shall go, If the country needs him," bravely asserted his bride.
