OPPOSES LAUD|NG
OF SCHOOL WORK
Kearny Superintendent Would
Deal With Conditions as
They Really Exist.

Laudation of work will be elm
mated in future annual reports sub
mitted to the Kearny Board of Edu-
cation, If the idea of superintendent
of Schools Herman Dressed jr., is
carried out. Mr.. Dressed in a report
submitted to the board last night, ex-
piained the kind of report that would
prove most businesslike.
He offered suggestions regarding
changes and among other things de-
clared THE entire report should deal
with school conditions as they are,
stating simple facts, free from lauda-
ton, and give a few suggestions or
explanations to help the community
to understand the purpose and plan
of the Board of Education"
Other suggestions regarding the
compilation of the report as advanced
by Mr.. Dressed are as follows:
The report to be of a general ma
ture. outlining the progress and plans
of the Board of Education for. the
schools. also to contain the usual sta
tistics as to attendance, cost of
schools, cost of departments, etc. We
briefly stating the condition and ca
pacity of each building.
Reports by the special teachers or
supervisors to be eliminated; the SUI
perintendent's report to touch briefly
upon all the work done in the sys-
tenn. His report should also deal
with itemized cost of each school, as
shown by monthly balance sheets.
This will include salaries of teachers,
janitors, cost of text books, supplies,
insurance. light, improvements. spec
ial teachers. substitutes, repairs and
incidentals There is TO be a table
showing the above for each school
and a brief written statement by the
superintendent, covering conditions
at each school and making note of
any special plans or work done.
In this way the general report will
give to the citizens interested in a
particular school, a review of the
existing there and the pro-
gress that has been made, and what
the principal and Board of Education
plan in the way of further progress
and improvements.

Continuing, the letter states: New

Another lryington Bluecoat
Fined for Sending Into
Saloon for Drink.

Alleged to have been intoxicated
while ON duty. Patrolman Joseph
Weiss was dismissed from the Irving
ton police department last night. The
loss of five days pay was imposed
upon Patroman Oscar Pannick,
charged with having sent a messen-
ger into a saloon for a drink.
The Town Commi ssion took the ae-
ton on the recommendation of Com
missioner Leonard Setaro and Chief
of Police Alexander S. Green. Mr.
setaro said that he had given Weiss
the alternative Of resigning or facing
trial and that the officer had ignored
the matter. though he had turned in
his badge and other equipment. COM
missioner David II. Greene remarked
that Weiss could demand a hearing
on the charge.

the board recognize that the majority
of the property owners want a brick
pavement and are willing to pay for
it. He declared the street is the mud
hole of Irvington, slush to the knees
IN winter and dust to the knees in
summer
The board turned down the petition
last week, believing that brick would
prove too costly. Mayor William L.
GIorieux and Commissioner Sstero re-
marked that if they realized the cost
and still wanted the pavement they
should have it. The petition was then
reintroduced.
Whether the town is liable for win
dows broken by stones loosened BY
passing automobiles and hurled
against the windows was brought TO
the attention of the commission by
Mr.. Setaro. The commissioner was
informed that the town was not liable,
and it was up TO the property owners
to catch the autoists and collect dam
ages.
