Aug. 16--(UP)-Acre upon acre Of
dead Ash today covered the farm
lands of South Jersey, after mil
lions of moss bunkers, carried in
from the sea on tide, became
stranded in Stone Harbor canal

The moss bunkers, which are us

bay seven miles from Cape May
courthouse. Yesterday hordes of
them swan up the canal and when
the tide reeeded the schools were
left high and dry in the narrow
canal.
Farmers arrived with trucks,
shovels and pitchforks and began
hauling the dead fish to their
farms. Pleasure boats and fishing
craft were tied up because it was
impossible to move out of the
canal. Iti.was estimated that APP
proximately 10000, 900 fish had
persisted. Authorities said it would
take a week to remove them.

Consultations OF
Schools Predicted
New School Law Opens Road For
Further. Consultations In
Many Small Districts
MARTIN TELLS OF PLAN

Raleigh.-Many more consolida-
tons of small schools over the
State will be accomplished under
the new school machinery law that
could have been achieved under
the former law and hundreds OF
small districts will be eliminated
and the pupils transported to bet
ter buildings and teachers, Leroy
Martin, secretary of the State
School Commission, said.
The plan will be to set up dis
tricts on the high school basis, each
district having a high school and
each district having one commit
tee, handling the affairs of the one
or more elementary schools in the
district, as we'll as the high school,
Mr.. Martin said. He pointed out
the advantage of one COMMITTEES
scattered over the district having
charge of all schools in the district,
high and elementary. Also, there
will be advantage in having one
superintendent or principal over all
of these schools, the elementary
units all being feeders to the high
school unit topping the district
system. The courses of study and
methods of teaching in the ele-
mentary schools would be under
direction of the high school head,
he said.
One county, with 4o-odd dis
tricts at present, has mapped out
a plan for a consolidation into nine
districts, each having OF expected
to have in the completed program.
a high school to top off the dis
trict. Until the high school is pro-
vided in each district, pupils may
be transported to high schools in
other districts, he pointed out.
Eliminating many local boards
will also eliminate much of the
local school trouble, it is believed.
