Gym Classes to be Or
ganized for Town Girls
Will Have Use Of ''Y" Floor One
Night Week
Movement May Lead Eventually to
Establishment ofY. W. c. A.
Branch

The girls of the town are to have
the opportunity of joining gym
nastlc classes to be conducted by
a specially trained teacher. This
opportunity long a dream of those
who have the welfare of young
people at heart, has been made
possible by the magnanimous ac-
tion taken by the Board of Direc-
tors of the Y. M. C. A. at special
meeting Monday night, when they
voted to permit the use of the
building one night a week for
these classes.
While such an idea has existed
in somewhat nebulous state for
some time in the minds of inter
ested residents, especially since
the young men of the town are
provided for through the activities
of the Y. M. c. A, definite plans
were not made until recently
when Miss Mabel Krall field sec
retary for the Y. w. c. A. came
to Newark for conference with
Miss Alice Kerr and others inter
ested in the girls. She found the
ground already prepared. The
matter of a meeting place came to
the attention of the Y. M. c. A.
directors in an informal way and
with characteristic promptness
they called meeting directly fol-
lowing the social hour on Monday
night. The asked Miss Kerr to
present the matter formally. This
she did with gratifying clearness
and earnestness. The Board after
a brief discussion as to ways and
means, granted to the prospective
classes, the use of the "Y" rooms
for one evening a week, to be
chosen after conference between
the leaders of the movement and
Secretary Bebout.
These classes are to be open to
all girls in the town. No Y. w.
G. A. organization will be formed
at present and no obligation to
join, should one be formed, will
be incurred by any one taking the
gymnastic work. The details of
the plan will be presented in
few days.

The local Board is earnestly
endeavoring to do in the right way
whatever is best for the communi
ty and for the children. They
earnestly request therefore q full
attendance at this meeting and a
free discussion.
In accepting the first PROPOSE
tion, the tax rate will undoubtedly
be high for some years. That is
to be expected in any event, for
the type of education required
for present day needs cannot be
cheap brand. Local supervision
and control are retained and iden-
tity as Especial District" Care
full calculation would seem to in
dicate that the tax rate would
reach the $1.50 mark.
The second proposition will
undoubtedly lower the tax rate
but will at the same time deprive
the district of local control and
place the schools under county
supervision. The offer of $685.
900 aid from the DUPONT fund
would still be available under this
method and the tax rate would
probably not be over S1.0O at the
present time. There is, as large
taxpayer pointed out, no guarantee
that in the future this rate would
not be raised and i'm that case
Newarkers would be paying a high
rate without the privileges Of local
control. This proposition, prob
ably would mean consolidation
with four or five adjacent dis
tricts.
1t is understood that decision
must be made in a short time if
Newark is to have aid from the
DUPONT fund since applications are
in. from. a number of other dis
tricts.
To determine what is the wish
of the patrons is the earnest de-
sire of the local Board of Educa-
tion. Come out everybody, there
fore, they ask and express an
opinion.

SCHOOL BOARD TO SEEK COUNSEL
OF TAXPAYERS TOMORROW NIGHT
FWO PROPOSITIONS TO BE CONSIDERED AS RESULT OF CON-

AND COUNTY OFFICIALS

Tomorrow (Thursday) evening
7.30 o'clock the local Board OF
'ducation will hold, at the high
choOl, an important meeting
yhich they urgently request all
aXpayers to attend. Two Vita
Propositions will be put squarely
efore the people for discussion
Shall Newark Special
School District bond the
town to the limit (about
$l40,000) for their building
project, in order to secure
S225,OO0 from the dupont
fund offered on condition that
such bond issue be under
taken?
Or:
Shall the district consent to
lose its identity as a Especial
district" become a part of the
county school system, with
county supervision and county
instead of local control?
The building proposition every
btrOn of the school knows is rend
red imperative by local conditions
fequently pointed out. The out
i y necessary in the face of pres
BIT building difficulties makes the
fdertaking a momentous one con.
frning which the local board de
res to seek counsel of the pa
|ons. According to conservative
Inmates an adequate building
build cost about $365,000.
