'THE RELATION . OF NIGH SCHOOL TO COMMUNITY ® j Superintendents in Monthly Conference Discuss Modern Educational’ Problems. Various phases of high school activities, its purposes and its service to the community, formed the back ground for several discussions on educational development before the monthly conference of superinten dents, supervisors, principals and teachers, held at the Girls’ Industrial .School yesterday afternoon. Til opening- the discussion Dr. Addi son B. Poland, city superintendent of schools, who presided, said he had I considered that it would be a popular thing to start the new year with a i ( eview of the local high schools. He contended that there has been a lack of encouragement among the princi pals of the elementary schools toward pupils who are about to enter the high schools. “.Vo principal should think that his work is completed when his pupils a prepared to enter the high schools, hut, instead, should consider that his work is just begun. There should be more encouragement given the pupils an additional co-operation between the elementary and high schools," snld Dr Poland. * Speaking on “The Co-operation of Different Depart uents." William if.-ie- principal ol lii- Central Com inercuu imi: .Manual j raining Mign School, sa'd: "The value of a school is measureil directly by its power to serve tDo com munity. Such service is limited by two factors— the obligation to supply directly the needs of the public and. secondly, the necessity for intelligent eo-operation within the school walls The attainment of the first is usually accomplished by carefully-planned curricula, or courses of study. The attainment of the second is a far more * difficult proposition. Inasmuch ns the first has in the past received careful consideration, it follows that the ser vice efficiency in the school itself must he made to grow to such an ex tent that the school product, the graduate nr attendant will he enabled to properly function towards the world's opportunities. ( “Curricula have unfortunately been Interpreted as consisting of unit Courses of study instead of unifying elements. This has led to the mo noplization of the pupils' efforts by teachers of strong personality to the educational detriment of the pupils concerned. "Thus there is produced a weak educational development nlong certain i lines and overtraining along others, despite the fact that an equal number of hours may be assigned to each of tho subjects. Sporadic instances of correlation appear in systems where vigorous minded teachers feel the urge of the new educational Impetus. Strange to say. supervisory and ad ministrative forces bound by the shackles of traditional methods or shocked by the boldness of the Inno vation that tends to make modern education effective, have hitherto hin dered and checked tlm unifying eor felating, co-ordinating processes. ' "A new day I- dawning; educational liberty and freedom are making them selves felt. Occasionally a teacher happily discovers relations between his classes and those of his co-work ers. correlating the efforts of his de partment with those of others. Vet there does not appear the •eelprocal reaction from other departments or the basis of a connecting link between them. “In other words, in tho above, oo relation or correlation happens, but ■0-operation or educational co-ordi nation does not occur until the rene tion between the teaching depart ments become continually reciprocal. * It is this latter aim for which we must constantly strive.” Dr. Cornon'M AiliIrfttH. Dr. David B. Corson, first assistant city superintendent of schools, took as his topic "The Broadening Pur pose.” He said it was the duty of a republic to educate tbe masses and ' this is being accomplished through the public high schools. Ho con tended the earlier schools in this country only educated the pupils of a literary type, while the newer schools provide opportunities to those of a commercial and vocational turn of mind as well as those interested in literary matters. Dr. Corson told of the growth of the nigh schools in this country, which lie contended had increased considerably. He said prior to the Civil War there were only forty four schools of this type in this conn try in 1870 there were 180. in 1S80. '00; in 1800, 2.526; in 1000, 0,000. and n 100ft 0.817. lie said the enrollment ncreased 76 per cent, between 1000 and 1010, and in this State the en rollment has doubled in the last ten In his discourse Wayland T'.. Stearns, principal of Barringer High School who spoke on "Welfare Work lo Reduce Retardation and Elimina tion.” said: "There are a great many misfits among the pupils attending nigh schools. Tliero seems to be a certain glnmour about the college preparatory course to certain pupils. • r have turned many away from this course and urged them to take others and some pupils I have influenced to enter business. 1 do not get all ‘het ip' over pupils leaving tbe high schools. Some pupils should never nave entered and others have reached * their limitations. They had better have a good Job.” Other speakers were Thomas F. 1 , Kennedy, principal of South Side High School, who spoke on “The Co operation Between Elementary and Higli Schools," and Ell Pickwick Jr.. * principal of Bast Side High School, whose topic was “The Service to the Community." Brooks to Be Retained by Mosquito Commission Tt is expected that the controversy relative to the employment by the Essex Countv Mosaulto Extermina tion Commission of .lames E.

I COLLECTOR ARE Liquor Dealers' Association Employe Is Said to Be Missing. _... i I John t\ .McLaughlin, president of the Newark Retail Liquor Dealers’ Protective Association, said today that a charge of embezzlement will be made against Theodore Achterman, of 151 Abinger place, missing collector for the organization. An audit of Achterman's accounts is under way to find out the amount of the alleged shortage. According (o Mr. McLaughlin, oili cera of ihe association have been un able to Had Achterman at his home and have learned that ho left the ciyt several days ago. They had knowl edge of a shortage last week, but took no action, on the collector's promise that it would be made good in a few days. Achterman was employed to collect 1 the annual due- of $12 from each member of the association, and It Is believed he withheld about $400 dur ing the past eight or nine months. Frederick II. Roever, financial secre tary of the association, is collecting the individual books of the members to ascertain the amount of the short age. Those which have so far been turned in, Mr. McLaughlin said to day, show a shortage of $97. Sir. Roever is said to have discov ered a deficit of $3 in Achterman's accounts last week, and reported the matter to the other offleers. who ques tioned the collector. The latter is said to have admitted taking the money, but to have promised that he would return it. He made an appointment to meet them Tuesday to discuss the short age, but failed to keep the appoint ment. An Investigation showed that he was not at his home, in Abinger place. Achterman is married, but lias no children. He has been in the em ploy of the Liquor Dealers' Associa- i tion for about two years. As a collector, he was under a $1,000 bond, furnished by the Fidelity and Deposit Company, of Maryland, a bonding concern. (!. VV. Lamoreuux, ' local agent for the company, at bit Market street, was notified. Mr. Lnmoreaux said today that lie lias not taken any criminal action, as he has not yet received proof of the shortage. If Achteiman does not muke a set - j tlement of his accounts, Mr. Mc Laughlin said, a warrant will be sworn out for his arrest, charging him with the embezzlement of what ever amount the accounting shows to '■ be the shortage. Mrs. Achterman was not at home : when an Evening Star reporter called today. Neighbors said Achterman had not been seen for a week. The man bore a good reputation In the i neighborhood. "TOM" CROOKS IS ILL WITH SCARLET FEVER i ; Widely-Known Football Referee Stricken in Williamsport—Re sides in Newark Y. M. C. A. - j “Tom" Crooks, the former football j star for the University of Pennsyl vania, and who this season has acted ; as referee for a number of college games on the gridiron, is ill with scarlet fever in a private ward in the Williamsport, Pa.. Hospital. Mr. Crooks, when not on the road for the big saslj and door manufac turing concern conducted by his father nnd brothers at Williamsport, makes his home at the Young Men’s Christian Association building on Halsey street, this city. When the genial football expert de- 1 parted for his home just before ' Christmas to spend the holidays with i his family, he was apparently in j the best of health, and anticipated a ! joyous time. Shortly before New Year’s information was received by his i friends here that he had been stricken with the disease. While doubts exist as to where Mr. I Crooks contracted the fever, it is ho- j lieved that he became infected with the dangerous germs while on a brief visit to his old friends at the Unlver- I sttv of Pennsylvania, either just he- j fore he left this city or after he had departed and stopped off to call at a university fraternity house on his , way to Williamsport. H. M. Ward, a member of the junior class of the Wharton school of the university, died yesterday after noon In a Philadelphia hospital of scarlet fever. Ward’s deatli is one of several nmong students of the uni versity since Christmas, when an epi demic of fever struck the university and resulted in the isolation of a ward in the University Hospital and the quarantining of a fraternity house. Ward was a son of George S. Ward, of 155 Riverside drive, New York, the president of the former Brooklyn Federal baseball club, and during his freshman year he played on the class baseball team. H. J. Bowman, another student in the hospital, was reported much im proved last, night. Friends of Mr. Crooks were much relieved yesterday to hear that lie had a modemtely light attack of the fever. He is unmarried nnd has a| wide circle of friends in this city'. j Spirited Bidding Continues at Annual Local Tax Sale Spirited bidding marked the con tinuation of the annual tax sale which was held in the office of the comp troller today.
