A new hi ad Bear resembling somewhat thai of the Masonic Shrlner.s appeared here for i '- ? ? ? llrst time in the klan parade, it i h red *knll tup with the h it. is "li. K. K." aewed in white. Oth er uniforms more or less of the kind that fraternal orders wear on parade have apnea red to relieve the monotony of the plain white regalia. No disorder of consequence was apparent as tb?- residents of Wash ington took the demonstration good natnredly. TtfT^ National capiiol Is a convention city and the- people here -have learned to r? *Vtrd all guests with respect. The w fiirt that a hooded order with a I program of direct hostility to oth ?r groups in the citizenship of the country proclaimed its principle* on parade at the arcry capitol of the nation d id not evoke any out hursts from the groups affected. Here ntid there wofe sullen ex pressions of disapproval that the parade >bould have hem permu ted hut the authorities here take the position that any unmasked * order can parade. The klan offi cials, it Is understood. Issued or ders to the membership to refrain from making any replies to com menta of people inside the curb lines so as to reduce to a minimum the possibility of controversial ep iHodes. Varying reports have been cur rent as to the purpose of the dem onstration. Some have Intimated that the affairs of the Ku Klux Klan have not been progressing favorably and that a parade in Washington would, be an excellent meant* of persuading reluctant cit l?ens that the order was very much alive and was increasing its membership. The railroads, were not a hit disappointed with the plan for they carried thousands of passen gers on many special trains. A trip to Washington Is always an excellent way to gal her a crowd because sluht seeing opportunities and the chances are that the klan assemblage here will be made an annual affair. So far as the commercial side of Washington Js j^Vicerned. It benefits by all pa ^Hdes and convention nnd so long Hh no disturbance of the peace Is ^^Veatened. anylfodv can parade '!^nnsylvanht avenue to IiU or her heart's content. On the whole, It was a good nat ural affair, tolerantly received by a city with a population it least half of which Is composed ?'f the groups toward which the klan Is regarded a* hostile.

Dream of Camden Leaders Made Reality Through Opening of New High School Near Courthouse I Camden. Sept. 14. -Consollda-i lion of Camden County's xrhaoh J i Into four major unit* affording' Mtf.li school educational fncllitP* ; ifor every rlilld in the county w;?:-i | crystallized into fact Monday, with the opt* n i n k of the new Camil>-n High School at Camden Court- j house. equipped to *erve the en tire Court hoti?e township. It. J. Jones. a graduate of the Cnlversity of Virginia. Ix principal of the new nrhool, which has a corps of six teacher*. two of whom i ; are in the high school depart ment. and the remainder In the grades. The building ha* Jil?' heen completed, and If* m the ill-, tra -modern one story type. hou*-j I it K ten Mpacious and attractive' classroom* and an auditorium sent-! lag 109, Bqilpped, it will kivi cost approximately 146.000, Indications on the opening day were that the ? nrnliment of III?! new school will he almul 1 >*?0 thU' year. It In taking the place of four smaller school*. two employ ing two teachers and the oth-r two. one teacher each. In tho next year or two. it la expected that the achool will In-come accrr dited, through a gradual Increase in the number of pupils In the high school department. South Mill* High Hchool a If" opened Monday for the term of. 1926-27. with Frank M Kason a i principal, It Is already an if credited high Hchool, and Shlloh lllgh School, expects to enter the accredited class this year through the merger of the high achool de partment of the Old Trap School with It. The latter school now Is devoted to primary and elemen tary grade work. Camden County now ha? only two of th? old fanhioaed type of little schools. These tre In the Burnt Mill community, near South' Mill-*, and a! Sandy |Iook, in the lower pari tlii' county. The peo ple In tli?* llurnl Mill ?1 IhI rlc-i Hhim far have fulled lu vole a local lax for school purposes, and have ron h I k t ? ? 1 1 1 1 y declined to take advan tage of opportunities to merge with the South Mills district, and no Improvement In conditions ed ucationally Is In prosper! until they do. according lo l'r?4. Luke Stevens, superintendent of the Camdeu County school system. The Sandy Hook school. on the other hand, prohahly will he con solidated this term, liy sending a part of the pupils to the Camden High School, and part to Sliiloh. Mr. Stevens announces, adding that the only harrier which must he surmounted is in workiUK out a satisfactory system of transpor tation for them. This, apparently, is near solution. Except for those attending these two small school*, every hoy and girl In Camden County now Is in abled to attend school eight months each year- - a sharp con trast from the three-month's terms of a few years ago. _ CatndNi County's four hii: schools have replaced n total of 1 one-and two-teacher schools which comprised the county's ed- ' ucatlonal system some five or six years ago, outside of South Mills township. As will hp the case when the New Central 1 1 1 kH School in Pas <|uotunk County Is opened a little later in the month, the opening of Camden High School today marks completion of the consolidation In Camden County. When this la t - ter school enters the accredited class. It will mean that every hitch j school graduate in the county will l?e enabled to enter the coltegen and universities of the country without further examination. DR.
