10 BUNGALOWS
TO Be ERECTED
Benjamin r. Fox, Atlantic City
Operator, Buys Large Tract
Along Reading Avenue.
100000 Investment

Another section of ~Pleasantville is
about to experience a big boom in
building. Recently William Il. Garri-
son purchased a large tract Of land
bordering Reading avenue and run
ming from the Shore Road back be-
yond New Road. The tract was plot
ted into building lots and several of
them were sold, and purchasers have
started the erection of homes. These
first operations were scattered. Now
Benjamin r. Fox, of Atlantic City, one
of the biggest realty operators in
South Jersey, has purchased sixteen
building lots on the tract. He intends
to start at one on the erection of
sixteen modern bungalows for home
seekers. The investment will prob
ably represent nearly 500, 900 at the
start.
This operation will change the ap-
pearance of the whole neighborhood.
What was once small farms and some
swamp land will be rapidly developed
into a splendid residential section.
The buildings will be artistic and
modern in every detail. The section
was long known as "Dantown," and
many of the older residents of the city
lived in the locality. The Mount
Pleasant Methodist Church originally
stood in the Mount Pleasant Gene
terry grounds on Delilah Road and
later was moved to a new location at
Shore Road and Reading avenue. The
majority of the homes were along the
Shore Road with broad fields extend
ing out beyond New Road.
With the Fox operation and other
ifa1fx-iItIo1e a,.Aafi1r fhai- 1npaan 1nx0
this section will soon become a thriv-
ing part of the city, necessitating lev
stores, electric lighting, extension of
the sewerage system and other i'm
~provements. 1t will also mean, with
the increase in population, another
school building in that section before
many months roll around. The Wood
land Avenue School building was over
tcrowded this ear and a twelve-room
building is now being arranged for at
decatur avenue to take care of this
kpvercrowded condition of Woodland
sAvenue and Park Avenue schools.

to turn his attention to this city for
some of his building operations. AS

are erected and disposed of other OPP
erations are to follow.

CIRCUS COMING
DURING AUGUST
Walter L. Mains Three-Ring
Aggregation Will Exhibit
Here for One Day.
Will Attract Crowds

1t has been said that some day At
lantic City would be mentioned as a
suburb of P~leasantville. This may
never come to pass, but at least one
day this summer Atlantic City people
will come to Pleasantville for their
amusement instead of the people from
here going to the shore. This will
be in August, when the Walter L..
Mains big %three-ring circus comes to
town.
The town must prepare for the big
gest day ever witnessed here when
the circus arrives. When a three-ring
circus decides to come to a town it
can be safely put down that that IA
vored town is on the map to stay.
Circus men do not decide to exhibit
in a town where it would not pay
them. and in picking their places and
dates they only select the live COM
munities. 1t is the surest sign of pro-
g~ressiveness to have a circus decide
to exhibit in a town. Such men as
P. T. Barnum, Adam Forepaugh, the
Ringlings, Robinson, Buffalo Bill and
Pawnee Bill never could be accused
of a~ssociating the names of their
shows with towns that were failures.
MdlHS is uUut lu6 less ldChluS i'll
foresight than were his predecessors
in the circus business.
Some people have said many times
that the local Chamber of Commerce
was asleep at the switch" and that
the Big Booster Frank Hubin was
yelling his head off to no purpose in
advertising Pleasantville before the
world as a progressive city. Well, re-
suits will tell, and they are telling
every day now. Pleasantville is
booming and the boom has come to
stay. The news that the circus was
coming here was flashed to Frank
Hubin yesterday from Maine, where
the Mains show Is now exhibiting. 1t
will be in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont all this month, gradually
working down into New York State
and from there into Jersey. 1t will
be here in August, but the exact~date
has not been picked. The first ad-
vance car will roll into town in the
near future with the press agent to-
begin his publicity work. Then the
date of the show will be made known,

HEALTH, NEW 1OTh City, VIII lain ou
Health" Mrs. Arthur Watkins, field
secretary of the National Congress of
Mothers, who is taking a summer
course of lectures at Columbia on the
value of p. T. A. to School and Com
munity," will give addresses on the
same subject. Mrs. d. w. Cooper,
president of the New Jersey Congress,
will talk on How to Organize P. T.
Associations"
At Newton, Sussex County, where a
four weeks summer school is held,
July IS, 10 and 20, will be Parents
Days" The program will be under
the joint direction of the county SUI
p~erintendents of Sussex, Warren, Ber-
gen and Morris Counties, and the
faculty and student body of the sum-
mer school, of which Dir. Singer is
principal, cooperating with the Moth
ers' Congress. The program will be
carried out in a way similar to that
at Ocean City.
At Collingswood, where more than
a hundred parents gathered last year,
a one-day parents school will be held,
probably July IA. DIR. Charles Phil
hover, principal of summer school
there, and the Helping Teachers of
Camden County are cooperating to
plan a big day. Arrangements for
the parents days at New Brunswick
and Convent, where successful days
were held last year, are not COM
pleted.
1t is hoped that many groups from
this county will take advantage of
this combined summer outing and
study. 1t is an ideal opportunity to
spend one, two or three days at an
ocean or a mountain resort at little
expense while improving the time.
At Ocean City, Miss Whitlock is ar
ranging to keep the children of visi-
tors and amuse them while parents
attend the afternoon lectures in free
dom. Now, at the last meetings Of
associations, is the time to plan auto
parties to n of the schools.

Nexhfbftion. There will be the usual
parade to precede the exhibition, and
Frank Hubin has been accorded the
privilege, by Fletcher, the business
manager of the show, of leading the
parade through the streets of Pleas
antville. Frank was proud when in
formed of that fact, and he fastened
to accept this honor coming to him
entirely unsolicited. He will lead the
big parade, and after the show has
gone he will continue to Boost Pleas
antyille just as he has done in the
past years. If everybody who has an
interest in the city would join Hubin
in his boosting, what a town we would
have in a short time. AS it is, the
town is growing steadily and the
growth is a healthy one.

Summer School For
Parents Arranged
Sessions to Be Held at Ocean
City in July-Will Be of Great
Value to Parents.

Last year the New Jersey Congress
of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations introduced an innovation in
the way of summer schools for pa
rents. The idea, which was first sug-
gested by the late DR.. Sensor, for
many years director of Summer
Schools of New Jersey, was success
full beyond all hope. The demand
from many counties and associations
for an extension of the plan has de-
veloped into the following plans, to be
carried out by the Education Depart
ment of the Mothers Congress, with
whom DR.. William Alderman, director
of Summer Schools for Teachers in
New Jersey, is cooperating heartily,
assisting in the arrangements and
their execution. AS far as possible,
the regular summer school centers
have been chosen as the places for
these schools. At Ocean City, where
a six weeks summer school is held,
July II, II and 10, will be given to
parents school, work.
The forenoons will be given to OBJ
s~ervation in the school of practice, of
which Miss Sarah Whitlock, principal
of the Model School, is supervisor.
Miss Whitlock Is cooperating with
the Mothers Congress to make the
program one of great value to parents,
student-teachers and all p. 7. A. visi-
tors. 1t is expected that every P. 7.
association in the State will send
from five to ten representatives to
some one of the schools. AT the close
of these morning sessions a round
table conference will be held, with
DR.. Alderman as chairman. This will
give an opportunity for discussion of
