NEW SCHOOL HEAD
PUZZLE FOR BOARD
Opinions Differ on Caliber Of
Man Best Suited to
Conditions Here

Indications point to a sharp night
when the question Of selecting a new
superintendent Of schools comes before
the Board of Education. Already, It Is
said, two factions have appeared in the
board this month.
A number of members are definitely
committed to DIR. George j.. Brccht,
deputy state superintendent of schools,
while at least three other members have
instituted a search of the country for
material. The search has brought out
nearly q dozen Of the foremost educa-
tors of the country.
Still other members Of the board are
reported as wavering between the two
factions. with the opinion Of educators
of the city as q determining factor. The
probable attitude Of State Superintend-
ent Of Public Instruction Finegan on the
question is also named as factor in
determining a recommendation for the
post.
Meanwhile educators and teachers in
the city are freely and generally ex-
pressing the opinion that the choice OF O
school head here is one Of the most i'm
portant duties that the board has ever
had to perform. They state that 1t is
not merely question of new man
but practically the question of whether
or not PHILADELPHIA Ia to have q new pr1
in education,
The question with the boord members
| seems to be one Of the relative powers oi
the superintendent and members Of tn,
board, tbey saw. Some members Of the
board have soid that the new heaf
should he the biggest kind of n man. ani
that he should be free from interference
of any kind, II Ia nointed ont by then
that man big enough 70 he desirabl,
would probably make the fur fiy IL he
were not allowed his freedom.
Other members have said that tb,
new head should not be so big a mar
that he should be inclined to fight if hi!

WEATHER BUREAU STUDIES
SEYIVERLNG BATHING GIRLS
Thut L Studies Conditions That Make Them Shiver, and
BIanues Unusual Ofshore Winds

ing along the New Jersey 'coast late in
July, 1920, led me to examine the
wind records Of Sandy Hook and At
lantic City. Although there had just
been decidedly cool spell, with north
erly winds, and although the spring
and early summer averaged two or
three degrees (Fahrenheit) below nor
NAL in eastern New Jersey. 1t did not
appear that these influences would be
sufficient to make the coldness OF the
water worthy Of remark.
IAN unusual amount Of ofshore
wind, however. would easily account for
cold water. because such winds would
have driven the warmed surface water
out to sea and cold water from below
would have replaced IT,
''In June. 1920. the offshore winds
totaled 477S miles. as compared with
2260 in 1919 and 514S in 1918. 1t is
to be noted that the offshore winds In
this June comprised 54 per cent OF all
the wind Of the month. Although in
June, 1915, the wind blew ofshorc
514S miles, this was less than half the
total of that windy month.
Atlantic City Affected
"At Atlantic City the average FIRE !.
Quency of offshore winds in June is Al
per cent. In June, 1920, however. the
frequency was 63 per cent. In July the
average frequency of offshore winds is 81
per cent, while. in the first twenty eight
days in July, 1920. the offshorc wind
occurrences totaled SO per cent. Thus
in June and most of July Of this year
the offshore winds have been p per
cent more frequent than the average of
the last seven years and have occurred
about two thirds of the time.
Not since 1912, when the offshore
winds of June and July were 26 per
cent morethan the average has there
been even as much as 10 per cent more
than the usual frequency Of offshore
winds in June and July combined. In
June and July, 1919. the onshorn winds
were 20 per cent more than the average
frequency"
According to the Weather Bureau no
relief is in sight. The winds are still
offshore.
