ROLAND DISCUSSES
REORGANIZATION
Superintendent Of Schools
Addresses High School
PIT. A. Meeting

"Americanization' was the subject
of an address by H. M. Roland,
superintendent of schools. at the
monthly meeting of the Parent
Teachers association in the New
Hanover High school auditorium yes
terday afternoon.
Miss Anne Johnson, Bible student
of the High school, led the devotional
using several passages from the
Bible an6 quotations from famous
writer's to illustrate her subject. Miss
Johnson based her talk on the com-
parison of the Children of Israel to
the peoples of Europe and Asia to-
day. She showed how the people
were prosecuted in the time of
Joshua as they are now undergoing
the same treatment in Europe and
Asia at the present.
Superintendent Roland urged the
teaching in the schools and the home
of the American way of living. He
described the teachings and plan of
government established by our fore
fathers who came to this land to
seek free government, free speech,
free churches. The democracy which
resulted from the efforts of these
early settlers was based on four
main subjects in the platform: the
home. public schools. the church and
small local community organizations.
Mr.. Roland used as an example of
lost faith and spirit, the present sit
uation in France. The French peo-
pie, especially the younger genera
ton. forgot their democracy. lost
faith and spirit in their government
and were content to spend their
time looking for thrills, jumping
from one place to another in a
round of merriment. He urged the
teaching in the home and chool of
young people the meaning of the
democracy which the founders G
this great nation fought so hard to
establish and maintain that. we
might have the right of free action.
free speech, preserve liberty n
equality that the French gave up.
He explained the American home
controls the church and the schools.
Discipline must be started in the
home when the child is young and
continue as long as the child is in
the home and under the guidance of
the parents. The task at hand is to
teach the child some sort of trade
or profession most suited to the child
and through which he might be of
help to his country. Mr.. Roland
urged the teaching of A~mericanism
through American music in the
schools, patriotism through speech,
in their actions and through the
proper respect for the flag of the
United States and above all to be
glad they are children of America.
A general business session was
held following the talk by Mr.. Ro-
land, under the direction of the
president, Mrs. ]. E. Evans.

TO MAMIE

Announcement of the death of
Miss Mary E. Wardlow came as
shock to readers of Tuesdays
Citizen.
She was one of Key Vests
finest and most highly esteemed
women. Mamie was a loyal and
sincere friend, and many will
miss her.
Of a shy and retiring DISPOSE
ton, Mamie Wardlow disliked
the limehght, /, yet B she would
have appeared to excellent adj
vantage in it. Well educated,
cultured and with a charming
personality, she graced any group
and was an asset in any position.
Had Mamie Wardlow chosen a
career in the musical world she
would have achieved success and
honors. She studied under some
of the best masters and was a
brilliant pianist. To hear her play
was rare treat to music low
erS.
AS librarian of the, Woman's
Club library, Mamie was a con-
scientious worker, always eager
and willing to help patrons Ell
Their in selecting reading matter
or in research work. Other Ii
brarians may fill the position as
efficiently, but none will ever fill
the place in the hearts of those
who knew her-a place made va
cant by Mamie's passing. She an
swered the Masters GALL,
We know not now the. reason
why ,-
She is no longer here,
But we know that God in His
great love -,
Has called her to Him there.
It's not for us to reason why
That from her we must part,
But ours to live in Faith and
Hope,
Though tleeding to the heart.
A cross. a bleeding heart, a
crown
What greater gifts are given?
Be brave, dear ones, and muir
muir not,
These are the Keys of Heaven. :.

that he and his staff had been
working up detailed plans and
studies as a preliminary in plan
ming the project and had had the
assistance of engineers of the
State Road Department in COM
piling data and other information
regarding grades and croSs-sec-
tional surveys
Later the official group view
ed the preliminary plans and
sketches showing the proposed
pipeline across the keys to Key
West. These were explained by
Mr.. Duncan.
Part of the purpose of the
visit was to enable the RFC and
WPA representatives to deter
mine the SoundneSs of the fl
nancing proposals insofar as the
self-liquidating and self-support-
ing aspects of the project are
concerned. The navy and army
are big users of water, as well as
the industries here.
While the visitors would moi
comment on the. possibility OF
final approval of the project
Monroe and Key West officials
expressed the opinion that the
examination by the Washington
experts was a step toward CON
summation of the long effort tc
bring fresh water from the main
land to Key West.
