PRAISE FRANKFORT
Fathers ASSN.
24o0 Members Lauded on
Tenth Anniversary for
Work in Schools
HON0RED BY DR.. BR0OME

More than 2400 members OF the
Fathers Association Of Frankford at
tended meeting last night marking the
tenth anniversary Of that organization.
The meeting was held in the Frank
ford High School gymnasium, and high
praise was bestowed on the fathers by
educational leaders for their great work
in the Frankford schools.
John J. Tigert, United States Com.
missioner Of Education, and DIR, Ed
win G. Broome, Superintendent Of
Schools, were honor guests. Prior to
the celebration proper n dinner was
given ut the school for the guests and
the General Committee.
The most important problem that
confronts the school today" declared
DR.. Broome, "is that of finance. Gem
orally, the people want the best possible
education for their children. On the
other hand, the cry keep the taxes
down is always welcome to their ears
and is an effective campaign slogan"
I'VE have been getting education at
a bigger bargain than almost any form
of public service. One reason why the
cost Of public education has seemed
such q direct burden on tho taxpayer
is because schools have hitherto been
financed very largely from local taxes.
We are only beginning to adopt the
policy which has been prevalent 80 long
In Europe of applying State funds from
taxes and other State owned sources to
the maintenance of public education,
and our Federal Government has dono
virtually nothing toward the financing
Of public schools throughout the
country.
Had 10 Contend With Councils
"For many years the Board OF Edu-
cation had TO contend with Councils for
sufficient funds to run the schools.
With what success historians can stnte
better than I. When the Board Of
Education acquired the independent
taxing power, anu told that the limi-
tation on that power was such that II
did not for many years raise sufficient
funds for the adequate support Of tho
public schools. Now for the first time,
by virtue OF recently enacted legisla-
ton, the Board of Education has an
opportunity OF raising sufficient funds
to conduct the schools properly and to
build sufficient number of schools to
house the children as they should be
housed.
II am very happy to say that our
Board of Education has taken adyan-
tage Of this opportunity and is deter
mined to give to tho people Of Phila-
delphia the best schools within its
ability"
"There is gathered this evening in
this hall most extraordinary and re-
markable collection Of men. 1t is a
unique association. know Of no COM
munity which has shown the enterprise
Of Frankford for the support OF It's
high school,"
Tremendous Growth
A short address vas delivered by
Prof. G.. Alvin Snools, principal of the
school, who told of the wonderful ac-
comphshments of the Fathers Associa-
tion. and Mr.. Tigert spoke on Father
hood"
The Fathers Association Of Frank
ford was organized ten years ago with
thirteen members, when there were
only 40 pupils in the high school. To-
day there are 1880 pupils in the new
high school and in the Fathers Associa-
tiOn are 2300 members

alternating Fishes.

Cold weather has marked effect
on some Of the fresh water fish at
the aquarium of the New York ZoOlOgi-
cal society. When the temperature
of the fresh water flowing through the
tanks of the aquarium falls below 40
degrees, certain fish become very
sluggish. The young yellow perch lie
quietly at the bottom Of the tank,
as evenly spaced as If put there by
their keeper, and take little food. A
low temperature affects young black
bass in quite different way. They
stay poised somewhere above the bot
tom, but crowded close together. Fifty
or more will often gather In a COM
pact mass, all facing in the same d.
rection. The aquarium has several
tanks of young black bass, all groups
of which show the same curious habit.

SHARKS TAKEN OFF NEW YORK

This was about 1915, when the fishing
smacks and fish cars used to unload
and load off this wharf In the East
river and the dead fish thrown out into
the water used to attract the sharks,
An old man, Sam Way, porter In
the old Cathar!ne market, earned n

cry that WAS raised when n shark was
sighted OFF the pier and then Sam
would drop his broom and put out his

giant fish struggling on the dock. He
is said to have hauled in MS many as
seven in one day, some of them four
teen feet long.

Birthday Reflections

If Washington were living now
And had TO go to school,
Do you suppose he'd ever funk
Or break an iron rule?
Or waste his time on frat affairs,
Or track or basket ball,
Or fail to vow with each defeat
Twas not his fault at allY
Or shut his books and trip along
With Martha to a play,
When on the black tomorrow
comes
Examination day?
Or miss his breakfast and class
By oversleep, perchance,
And lay it to toothache when
In fact it was a dance?
From all reports, he never
would
He wasn't so inclined!
But college life was strange to
him,
As we must bear in mind;
And tho to fibs of any kind
His truthful lips were closed,
Temptations come today to which
George never was exposed!
