Principal Walter G. Davis Put Back,
Completely INDICATED, Gets His
Back Pay, AndHas Salary Raised
Remarkable Ending Of Celebrated Persecution Case Ridge
field PdrkBoard of Education Acts Quickly When Commits
sioner Enright Rules Against Verdict At Trial.
TOWN WAS SOLIDLY FOR DAVIS

The famous Ridgeield Park case
against Principal Walter G. Davis of
the High School, has been finally
adjusted. He not only gets his posi-
ton back, but also all back pay and
his salary increased.
In speaking of the matter The
Record says:
Following receipt of the report Of
State Commissioner of Education En-
right from Trenton, setting aside the
dismissal of Principal Walter G.
Davis, of the Ridgefield Park High
School, the Board of Education Of
that town held special meeting Sat-
urday night and unanimously voted to
pay the deposed principal his back
salary of $3.50.
AS Commissioner Enright's report
wiped out all the charges, as well as
the verdict, the Board wasn't even
compelled to vote to reinstate Mr..
Davis, and he will resume his duties
at the close of vacation.
Not only is DR.. Davis indicated,
but the Board proceeded to see that
his salary is increased to where it
belongs, some of his subordinates
even getting more pay now than ne
does.
The sentiment in Ridgefeld Park
was wholly for DR.. Davis, and the
five school trustees responsible for
DR.. Davis dismissal, after sensa-
tional trial, were all beaten for re-
election at the spring meeting.
Three of the new women teachers
who insisted that DR.. Davis was in
efficient and incompetent are no longer
employed in that town, two having
themselves been declared inefficient.
1t was charged that Principal Davis
was physically unfit, was guilty OF
conduct unbecoming teacher and
not only used bad grammar but mis-
pronounced words. The fact that he
has only one eye was discountenanced
by the Commissioner and teaching
his class in his shirtsleeves one hot
day in September was not considered

Bergen County Is
Trying Hard ToStop
Infant Paralysis

The most strenuous efforts are
making by the authorities of Bergen
county to keep infantile paralysis
away from the homes of this section.
The various boards of health have
appointed special officers to keep
strict watch on all children coming
into the county from New York by
every approach. Special police of
ficers are stationed at the Edgewater
ferry, and signs are up on both sides
of the Hudson warning the public
that children under twelve years of
age will not be allowed to cross into
New Jersey.
The same precautions are used on
all lines of the Public Service every
where in Bergen, and while only q
few cases have been noted in Hudson
county, none at all so far have been
found in Bergen. The greatest in
terest naturally is associated with
the epidemic as it has progressed in
New York City, and the hope is that
it will be kept out of this part of the
country Scores of children have
been sent back over the Edgewater
ferry, and some of the scenes have
been pitiful, with mothers coming
this way in the hope of being able to
get out of the New York atmosphere
All appeals, however have been re-
sisted, and the officers while positive
and kind and gentle in all cases.
Automobiles have been specially
searched, as it would be easy to hide
small children in tonneau.

Parents Read This;
1t May Save Your
Child From Illness

"Keep the kiddies cool, clean and
comfortable. Keep them out of cars,
and especially away from kiddies
with colds or other ailments. Keep
the flies away by covering or destroy
ing anything that might attract the
flies," says the Department of Social
Welfare of the New York Associa-
ton for Improving the Condition of
the Poor in statement issued on
Monday in which it gives practical
suggestions to the residents of New
York City and it's suburbs with re-
gard to the infantile paralysis cpl
demic. The statement says further.
eff your kiddies are in the coun-
try, be thankful for that and keep
them there. If they are not in the
country or at the shore, get them
there if you can, but have all possible
consideration for the people in the
country. Before going away with a
child from a district where there
have been cases, have the child care
fully examined to make sure that he
is in condition to go away and that
he cannot spread the disease.
"Also keep calm yourself. Infan-
tile paralysis is frightful thing, to
be guarded against by every possible
precaution. But it is reassuring to
think that even in New York City,
where the epidemic is worst, only
one child in 1000 has had the disease.
That one chance in 1000 should be
guarded against absolutely, but it is
not sufficient cause for panic.
'sIn New York's suburbs, where the
percentage of cases is still less, there
is still less cause for alarm because
all conditions are less favorable for
the spread of the disease"
The four fresh air homes and
camps of the Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor are
full to their capacity with mothers
and their children from the tenements
and hundreds of appeals are coming
in daily from anxious parents who
want to get their children away from
the city. AS soos as the tenement
mothers learned that the fresh air
homes, especially Sea Breeze, are
admitting no children except after
the most careful examination by
doctors and nurses and that every
possible precaution was being taken,
they began to appeal more urgently
than ever for outings for their chill
dren. To meet the emergency, the
Association is adding additional
nurses to it's staff as fast as they
can be secured. Wherever it is
possible to do so safely and quickly,
the capacity of the Associations out
ing places will be enlarged to meet
the increased demand being made
upon them.

Little Ford Upsets
Passenger Car

The utter disregard that small Ford
runabouts have for high power ma
chimes was again demonstrated on
Saturday afternoon, this time at
Campgaw, when 1916 model, six
cylinder, seven-passenger REQ was
wrecked in head-on collision
The REQ was not only overturned but
it caught fire and was totally de-
stroyed.
In the Ford were DIR. Peter Brancato
and his wife, of Wyckoff, while in the
REQ were Lawyer Paul Fuller and his
family, of the same village. Mrs.
Fuller, who was riding in the car with
her husband and who was caught
under the wreckage, was hurriedly ex-
tricated before she was burned by the
fire. Mrs. Fuller was taken to her
home in Wyckoff and DR.. William L..
Vroom, of Ridgewood, was sum-
moned. Her injuries consisted of a
bad cut on her forehead and nose and
her lower lip was split in twain, MAX
ing it necessary for the physician to
take ten stitches in the wounds.
Mrs. Brancato was severely cut and
bruised, being thrown through the
wind shield.
Efforts are being made to fix the
blame for the crash. It is said that
DR.. Brancato made a wide swing
around the corner, and made quick
turn just as Lawyer Fuller turned
his car, hoping to avoid collision.
The Ford struck the larger car
amidship, forcing it into the ditch.
The damage to the Ford car was
slight in omparison.-Record.

West Palisade Now
Has New Fire House

Thanks to the energetic influence
and steady work of Foreman Will
lam Beckmann, of Protection No. A
Fire Company, of Palisade, West Pail
SADIE now has cute little hose reel
of it's own, also, cosy little engine
house. Foreman Beckmann, with the
assistance of members ]. S. Stewart
and N. A. Paul, has been busy for
weeks past trying to find exactly
what he wanted in a hose reel to equip
West Palisade with apparatus for
protection against fire. At last he
found it, bought it through the assist
ance of the Fort Lee Fire Depart
ment, and now everybody on the
Western Slope is happy and singing
Foreman Beckmann's praises.
One of the best things about the
new fire house is that it was built by
the members own hands last Sunday.
They found an exact spot on the hill
side over there near Bluff road, and
hauling load of lumber over, they
soon had a suitable foundation clear
ed away, stills laid down, rafters set
up, the sides nailed on, and the whole
thing completed in few hours. The
new fire house is just as good as the
situation demanded, and the residents
are greatly pleased that they are at
last taken care of. While they have
never had a fire over there, and are
not at all anxious for one, they at
least breathe easier in case ANYTHING
comes along that needs water.
Those who built the house were:
VIM. Beckmann, J. H. Bradshaw, j.
s. Stewart, Clayton Stewart, A. F.
Beckmann and A. L. Reuhmann.
That, Sir William Beckmann, was
neat job, in keeping with many
others you have done to prove your
efficiency as the best foreman any
fire company ever had. And if that
isn't enough, we'll send you over a
silver medal for your gold watch
labelled, "FOR A GOOD FOREMAN"

was inefficient were pupils who had

who considered him good disciplin-
