BETTER SCHOOLS FOR NEWARK "
A CET-TOGETHER DEPARTMENT CONDUCTED BY
THE NEWARK PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION

As the result of jealous work on ,
the part of teachers, supervisors and
others interested in better schools, two
hundred and ten Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations have been organized in Della
ware within the last fifteen months.
Columbia University in recent sur
vey of the entire country has placed
Delaware at the head of list of
States in this respect. There are vol
unteer organizations of taxpayers in
terested in schools in 81 per cent of
the Delaware School Districts. The
Annual State Convention of the Par
ent-Teacher Association to be held in
Harrington on April 8th this year
promises to be indeed an enthusiastic
meeting. A constitution, necessitated
by the rapid growth of the association,
will be considered at the morning ses-
sion. The slogan of the afternoon
meeting will be Better Schools for
Delaware. Newark is entitled to
send as her voting representatives to
this meeting, the President of the Par
ent-Teacher Association and one dele
gate for every ten paid up members,
as shown on the books of the Treas
urer, Mrs. George H. Wiggin, Town
send. Every reader of this article,
whether he has children to send to
school or not, is interested in better
schools for our community. Someone
has recently declared, Legislation has
declined, courts are less respected, the
grip of the Church is weakening. The
American public school is the only
institution that has not only held its
own, but moved forward" The asso-
citation needs your name on It's role,
YOUR twenty-five cents membership fee
in its treasury. If you are interested
in seeing that Newark makes a good
showing at the State convention, be
sure to register as a member with Mrs.
G, D. Grant, Chairman of the men,
bership committee, before March 3lst.
Every resident of the community IS
eligible to membership. The assocl-
alton wants genuine community rep
resentation.-Publicity Committee.

Mr.. Rowland points out that Associ-

lies the change that has taken place

decade. a decade that has led US from

It's the closeup that has length

turcs and made them better.
Nine years ago I directed in seven
days a picture that had only seventy

script scenes. And my recent pic

Our experience has demonstrated that

than we could hope to do in mass pro-
duction. Therefore, the Independent
producer will always find an outlet
through our organization. for the
very good reason that our future well

each other.

She took firmer grasp upon Dorothy and
struggled on!
The shore was so far away. The bar
racuda following! The thought came to
her-as it would have come to anyone
that she might at least save herself. If
she let the unconscious Dorothy go-let
her sink-the attention of the fish might
be, no, almost certainly would be, dis
tracted. While it was busy with Dorothy's
body, she would have chance to swim
ashore.
~ She had picture Of that--of Dorothy
sinking slowly through the depths, the
"sea wolf" rushing, worrying, swapping,
tearing at the white arms, the legs, the
breast of her chum!

Buhner, with set teeth, and swan on.
Then Mary saw a white dot on the
water. A wave-and the dot disappeared
another, and she saw it again. A
motorboat coming her way!
But would they see herf They must

Grasping Dorothy's hair, she trod water
and rose as high in the air as she could.
She waived her free arm and called for
help.
Then down in the water again, breath
less, under the surface. Again and again
she shouted, until she felt her strength
leaving her. After that she swan silently,
devoting all her energy TO keeping afioat.
Never once did she loosen her hold of
Dorothy.
But the motorboat found them. It had

left the shore to 60 to their aid. George
Roe, watching the swimmers through field
glasses as they swan round the buoy, had
seen that there was trouble, though he
had not guessed the cause. When Dor
othy sank and Mary went to her aid Roe
leaped into an automobile standing at the
pierhead and drove at full speed to boat
house where three high school boys
friends of Dorothy and Mary-were pre-
pairing to tow an aquaplane out to sea.
From the minute that Roe saw the girls
were in peril until they were pulled over
the side was less than twenty minutes.
Yet Dorothy's heart stopped beating as
the boat put about and made for the
shore. She had bled to death.
At the hospital doctors found the
femoral artery had been severed near the
thigh. The wound extended from the
knee upward along the inside of the leg.
There were two deep gashes, clean as
knife cuts, above the knee. Between the
gashes on both sides of the leg were
ragged cuts from the upper and lower
jaws of the "sea wolf" that had killed
Dorothy McClatchie.

The barracuda Is shaped much like
mackerel, slender, steel colored, with
long Furnishing jaw that Is slightly under
shot, like bulldogs.
Yet not like the bulldog but like the
wolf the barracuda snaps, tears, then
rushes way and back for another bite.
The marvel IL not that the barracuda
attacked Dorothy McClstchie, but that Il
let 60 Of her so soon--and that Mary
Buhner escaped It.
Perhaps the barracuda has not the
worldwide reputation for ferocity that
the shark enjoys. But those who know
the ''picuda" as the fishermen Of the
Florida keys call him, know that he Is
more savage and formidable than even
the leopard shark.
They know, as do the pearl divers of
the Pacific, that shark Is easily scared
of by shouting or splashing In the water.
But what scares the shark merely en-
RACES the barracuda. Sailors capture the
barracuda by dangling a bunch Of keys
over the side, or by trolling with squid
or other live bait. Anything In motion is
prey for the barracuda--he rushes at It
headlong.
Now, attacks by barracuda are not
commonplace at the Florida resorts. The
fish are plentiful, and sportsmen come
from all over the world to take them.
But the wolves Of the sea" infest deep
water only, as their prototypes on land
lurk in the jungles. Fishermen sail miles
off shore to get barracuda, and swimmers,
staying close to the beach, have no fear
of them.
The monster that killed Dorothy Nc
Claiche must have been at the very edge
Of the ship channel, when the girls swan
round the buoy that marks It.
What melted it to attack them?
Undoubtedly the whiteness of their
limbs as they splashed about in their one
piece bathing suits. The barracuda is
keen Of vision-as witness the sailors

above the sixty-foot depth which is the

The drowsiness swept over her like
wave, drowning her.
Mary Buhner, struggling In a crimson
sea, felt her chum's fingers relaxing theif
clutch, slipping, stiffening. The white
pier was far away and she was SO tired.
And Dorothy was so heavy.
She did not even writhe now, nor sob
for breath. Was she dead? No, she
could not be dead, she must not die! But
Il was SO hard to hold her up-they would
never reach the pier, 90 far of.
But Mary Buhner struggled on. She,
too, had seen that rush and swirl and the

back into the depths and she
was on the surface again.
Mary's arm was around her
