STEWART HEADS
 SCHOOLS AGAIN
Board Re elects Principal and Choses Able Corps of Teach-
 CTS For Coming Year

The school board held meeting Friday night, and after organizing for the ensuing year by electing C. NJ. Edwards president and F. C. Hoyt secretary, the board pro- ceeded with the election of teach CTS for the Newark High School for the coming year.
 Prof. J. B. Stewart was re-elect- ed principal, and the following corps of teachers were elected: Mrs. J. B. Stewart, Mrs. Jane Dodd, Miss Fannie Blalock and Miss Mary Kennard.
 Miss Eugenia Moore of Ashdown was elected as instructor for the music department.
 Miss Pearl Poe was elected to teach the summer school at Akron.
 Among the many able and suc- cessful school men who have been at the head of our schools, none have advanced 1t more rapidly, and none have done a greater work or are entitled to more credit for its present high standard than Prof. Stewart who has just been re-eleet- ed as principal for another year. The year just passed, during which time he has been at the helm, has been one of the most successful and brightest in the history of school life in Newark. He has had several years of experience as principal of some of the leading schools in the state, and puts his whole life and heart into his school work. Since he has been princi- pal here the school has made ex- cellent progress and gradually ad- vanced from good to better until the Newark High School stands today the pride of our town and a credit to the county.
 With the able corps of teachers who will have charge of the va rious departments, it is confidently expected that the school will con- tinue to make satisfactory prog ress, and in fact it is the desire of every one connected with the school to make the coming year just little better than any of the preceding ones.
 Miss Moore who will have charge of the music department is a stranger to many of our people but she comes highly recommend ed by some of the best people in the state, and 1t is safe to say that

High Water Causes $4,000 Damage to Belle
F0urche DAM
Belle Fourche, 8. D.. May 3.-Con
fjcting reports have been sent out re-
garding the break in the government
dam at Orman near here, on the Belle
Fourche irrigation project but the fact
of the matter is that there is no great
danger and the total damage done by
the high wind and storm will be $4,000
The wind whipped up the water into
high waves which beat against the con
crete blocks in the face of the dam
some times fifteen feet high. This
washed the gravel from under the
blocks and caused some of them to
slide down into the reservoir which
contained sufficient water to supply
100000 acres. In all $50 blocks settled
in several different places and caused
alarm least the dam should go An
examination by engineers showed that
the damage done was entirely tempor-
ary but it cannot be repaired until the
board of repairs meets here next week
and makes the necessary arrangements.
Chief Engineer Davis of the Reclama
tion Service, Consulting Engineer D..
Q. Haney, and Supervising Engineer
Walter will meet here to go over this
work In order to relieve any possible
feeling of alarm the water in the reser.
voir WAS lowered by opening the gates,
and the pressure removed. The pro
ject will be completed this year.

for the office OF county treasurer on

AUTOS IN COLLISION
Racine and Kenosha Autos
Collide at North End of
Milwaukee Avenue.
WOMEN HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

There was an automobile collision
with plenty of thrills but devoid of
serious results at the north end of
Milwaukee avenue on Thursday after
noon when seven passenger car own
ed and driven by S. ". Volker of Re-
cine collided with a five passenger
car driven by Maurice Plous of the
Union Dye Works. The Racine auto
mobile got the worst of the argument
and it was overturned and three Won
en-, who were passengers in the ton
neau, were thrown out and badly
stunned but half an hour later they
had sufficiently recovered from the
shock to take an electric car to Ra-
cine.
The Plous automobile was badly
damaged, but Maurice Plous, the driv-
Ter, and his brother Louis Plous, who
We're the only occupants OF the car,
managed to keep their seats ir the
car and they escaped without a
scratch. The Kenosha automobile was
towed to one garage with the steering
apparatus badly wrecked while the
Racine auto was minus a back wheel

No one can note the vast line Of in
surance carried ~ the fraternal So
cieties-over SIX AMI half billions in
force in sixty-fopr societies at the be-
ginning Of the year, according to adj
vance figures from the report to be
issued by. the state insurance departs
ment-without realizing the tremendous
Importance of any legislation which af-
fects them in any way. Any laxity
in supervision, any hasty or i'll considt
cred laws must affect adversely a
large percentage of the entire popula-
tion Of the state. 1t is a personal mis-
fortune for every individual who is
forced to drop his insurance, but it
comes pretty near being public
calamity when large numbers become
dissatisfied for any cause whatever
and cancel their policies One Of the
aeplorable results of the agitation for
= reform in the business methods of
the old line insurance companies a few
years ago was the wholesale cancella-
ZION of policies by men who failed to
take out any other form of insurance
and it is sincerely to be hoped that a
similar decrease in the amount of in
surance carried will not follow the
present readjustment troubles of the
fraternal societies.

received in the form of protection to
The Individual members, some glazing
discrepancies and inequalities could be
shown. 1t may be said that this is
permissible in fraternal societies on
the ground that strict accounting on
equitable lines is not part of
the fraternal system, that the spirit
and principle of fraternity, mutually
and brotherly love, etc, takes the
place of equitable accounting, etc. If
this be true, then it becomes a maxim
that inequalities and credities must be
retained as a part of the fraternal sys-
tenn. If the inequalities could be so
directed as to favor the weak and
needy members, then objection would
lose much of its seriousness, but that
is not the case. The ever alert and
well-to-do will continue to pay their
assessments as long as they are re-
ceiving protection at less than cost,
while the poorer classes, who are less
alert, will pay the cost of their own
insurance and also the deficit of those
who are paying too little. =

All parents of children in the schools
ana every friend of the schools in the
city should visit the exhibit of work
in manual training and some branches
of domestic science by the children OF
the schools, which will be held at the
Y. NJ. G, A. next Friday and Satur-
day. 1t is safe to predict thai every
visitor will be surprised and gratified
at the showing made 1t is expected,
as matter of course, that all parents
will visit the different grade rooms
next week where exhibits will be>given
of the work of their own children, but
a much better idea Of the scope and
value of the work in these branches as
whole can be gained by a visit to
the central exhibit at the Y. M. G. A.,
which is more an exhibit of types.
Ali friends Of the schools are strongly
urged to attend but as matter of fact
those who are opposed to modern edu-
cational ideas would probably get more
value from the exhibit and all who
are accustomed to refer to every new
departure along the line Of more
practical education as "mere fad"
are especially invited to view this ex-
hibit.
