OBJECT
OF SCHOOL PLANS
DR.. Van Schaick Explains
Purpose of Board in Seek
ing Reorganization.

Assurance that the board of educa-
tion has no desire to legislate any of
the present officials of the school sys-
tenn out of office by means of the pro-
posed plan of reorganization is con-
tanned in statement issued today by
DR.. John Van Schaick, president of the
board
Changes in organization must not
be made too much Of" said DIR. Van
Schaick- There is work enough in
! this great school system for every
competent person engaged in it. There
is no disposition to legislate people
out OF Office What We feel strongly,
however. is that if We go to Congress
and ask for another million dollars
for teachers salaries we ought to
show Congress that We have made

| in the most efficient and economical
way possible
Restoring Former Duties.
We are not legislating supervising
principals out of office as much as we
are restoring to them the duties they
performed many years ago, when this
system was much smaller and when
they had time for real sduca tional
supervision. In the beginning they
were nothing but group principals.
and We are sending them back to that
work, and asking for enough of them
to do the work. We are putting the
burden of administration upon the

but gratitude to them for the service
they have rendered. In that group
are some of the best people in the
school system. Those who have been
acting on the boards of examiners are
giving practically all of their time to
this important work. We ask that
they be made members of the boards
of examiners exclusively and put at a
salary adequate for the responsible
ties of the position. We want to mag
nifty the position of head of depart
ment of each of the high schools. and
we believe that the relationship be-
tween the high schools can be main

different schools and by the fire.

Plea for Educational Ideals
Nobody should get the idea that the
schools of Washington are the best in
the country or tho worst in the
country. On the whole. we are doing
reasonably well in spite of over
crowding and lack of teachers, but il
is possible to do very much better
We have not laid ruthless hands upon

faithless TO our trust if we did not
make a bold procurement of our
educational ideals and ask Congress

DISCUSS CLING
BUT NO ACTION
Health Officer to Continue His
Search for Available Site
for Work Here

The possibility of securing a re-
appropriation of the $5,000l sum
pledged by t h Board of Aldermen
toward the erection of a clinic for
the treatment of venereal diseases.
providing the same sum was raised
from other sources, was discussed by
Health Commissioners Dilts, Dalton
and Damgaard and Health Officer
thompson at a meeting at the CITY
Hall last night. 1t is hoped that the
board will renew their appropriation
despite the opposition of the Board
OF Hospital Governors as expressed
at the triple committee meeting.
Members of the board have express
ed their individual opinions that the
health board could probably establish
a successful Iclinic independent OF
other bodies in the city, although CO.
operation of other boards would be
welcomed.
h board appears to be practically
unanimous in the opinion that if it
could be secured the site owned by
the city at New Brunswick avenue
and Fayette street would be ideal. It
is thought however that the board of
aldermen proposes to reserve the site
for a future police station.
In the absence of a quorum a regu-
lar meeting was lot called. the mem
bers simply meeting to discuss the
matter informally. Health Officer
Thompson was asked to investigate
possible sites for the building. The
board members also considered the
question of medical servic and service
needs at the clinic, the names of sew
eral physicians being mentioned as
eligible to conduct the clinic.

Wed Here After Strenuous
! Objections Of Brides Parents

Miss Gladys Feinstein, eighteen
years old, who ran away from her
home in New York City last week
and was found with her lover, Frank
Gallind, a discharged soldier, at the
home of his cousin, Salvador Finaz-
20, in Brighton street, Raritan Bay
Park, Tottenyille, after she had been
gone from home for three days, were
married at 11:43 o'clock this norm
ing by Recorder Pickersgill at his
office in Smith street. Agnes Finazzo,
of Tottenville. and Miss Margaret
Knudsen, of this city, were the wit
nesses. After the ceremony the
couple returned to Tottenville where
they awaited the parental forgiveness
of her parents.
The bride being a Jewess and the
groom an italian was the objection
placed on the match by the parents,
MI. and Mrs. Abram Feinstein, when
they came to Tottenville and secured
the assistance of the police in an
effort to get the girl to return to her
home. 1t is a true saying that love
will find a way. The girl vowed that
she would marry the young man,
whom she had known before he en-
tered the army, whatever came.
Gladys was sent to her home in Man
haitian last Friday but hat night she
again returned to Tottenville. Sat-
urday morning she with Gallind came
to. this city and made application for
a marriage license. 1t was granted
and they were married three min
utes after the time was up after re-
ceiving the license yesterday morning
at .11:40 o'clock.

FORMER SOLDIER
DIES IN WATER
Granville Tarkius, of Bound
Brook, Drowned Last Night
When Swept Into Raritan
BIZ sur Correspondent.

BIZ StdT Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, July 22:-
Granville Tarkins, of Bound Brook,
was drowned at s o'clock last night
when he was swept over the hve-
mile dan into the Raritan river. A
diligent search has been conducted
but the body up until IL o'clock noon
a not been recovered. The river
and canal are being dragged but it is
thought that the rapidly rushing
waters have carried the body away
from the scene of the drowning.
With this in view the search is being
conducted several miles from the
point of the actual happening.
Tarkins, who was accompanied by
a friend, was out in a BOAT when they
lost control of it, due mainly to the
fact of the high waters. The friend
was saved but his name could not be
ascertained al the time of the res
cue. A reward of $500 has been Of
fered for the recovery of the body.
What makes the drowning more
sorrowful is that Tarkins has Just
recently returned home from duties
overseas with the American Expedi-
tionary Forces. He was a lieutenant
in the American Army.
The water level of the Raritan
river is very high, due to the freshets
caused by the continuous rains. AT
this city the tow path is completely
covered and the canal and river are
one stretch of water.

Before proceeding with u rec

ferred against Patrolman- Koscdelniak

that other charges may be preferred
against said officer on a different
matter. This can have no bearing on
the charges in question:, so we are

not considered the matter is having
any bearing in this case.
This committee has carefully con-
sidered the charges against the said
patrolman. Considering h fact that
the patrolman has been suspended
since June 81, 1919, almost a month
ago, we would recommend the fol-
lowing:
THAT he be fined 100000.
THAT he receive nc pay from time
of his suspension to the time of his
reinstatement and report for duty.
That he be reinstated upon ap-
proval of this report.
Taking into consideration the fact
of the officer already losing n
months pay, and with the additional
fine, the total will approximate.

House of Commons Votes
Approval of Peace Treaty

By Associated Press.
LONDON, July 22.-At what was
virtually an all night session, the
House of Commons completed it's con-
sideration of both the German a
treaty and the A~nglo-French
ton.
The bill carrying approval of the
German treaty was considered in COM
mittee of the while, exciting long de-
bate, in which Premier Lloyd George
took an active part. The bill was
then placed before the House and
passed it's third reading after a mo-
ton by John Devlin to reject it as a
protest against the Premier's atti-
tude toward Ireland had been de-
feated by 1913 to 4.
Then at A. M, the Anglo-Saxon
pact was taken up and the bill approx
ing 1t was unanimously passed after
a short but sharp debate, in which the
argument that the treaty was not
consistent with the spirit of the
League of Nations failed to find n
substantial echo.
The German treaty passed through
all its stages without amendment.
