BARRED B Y NEW SCHOOL HEAD
East Orange Declares Dr. Broome Aids Pupils as Well as
Parents and Tcacliers in His Department
Little boys and (Iris, pupils of the
public rchooli in this city, are wonder
lug whether they aro going to hate
school ns much or tooro after the new
superintendent tabes the reins iu Ills
hands 1
For from East Orange, N. J., where
Dr. Edwin 0. Broome soon will re
blin his post an superintendent of
schools to take a position here, como
reports of radical measures taken with
school children.
Among the tabooes for the young in
that city aro "chorus girl" clothing for
girls, Joy-riding in dad's car, too
much spending money, parties on week
day evenings and a score of other
pleasures considered denr to the mod
ern lad or taenia.
Broome Has Just Bules
But tbero are some rules accredited
to Dr. Broome that will appeal to nny
boy or rirl as fair and square. One
of thnn is his insistence that parents
withhold judgment on what goes wrong
with their children in school until both
sides of the case have been heard.
Pnrcnt -teacher co-operation has
been one of the outstanding features
introduced by Dr. BroOtnc In the
schools of East Orange. When the
quarterly reports vere sent to the
parents, each was accompanied by n
card containing suggestions from the
children's teachers and from Dr.
Broome.
Tho primary purpose of this was to
establish closer relationship between
the teacher and the parent nnd to bring
about a continuation of Uo training
in tho home received by tho boy or
girl in the classroom.
'TlcaRe assist their progress," wrote
the school superintendent, "by knowing
tho character of the companions of your
children and the character of a motion
picture or entertainment before permit
ting the children to nttend; by having
children arrango their, parties and
dances for Friday or Saturday, rather
than during tho school week; by re
stricting tho child's attendance at mo
tion pictures nnd exciting forms of en
tertainment. Insist that children be
punctual nnd regular in attendance, nnd
see that they arc not excused except
for the most urgent reasons. "With
hold judgment regarding what happens
In school until both sides have been
heard; set aside a definite hour ot tho
day for homo study; encourage chil
dren to strengthen their weak points bb
revealed by the report card, and read
carefully all nqttccs and reports which
nrt brought home from schoolH."
Dr. Broome's rvslgnfttlon will be pre
sented Monday night to the Board of
Education of East Orange. A testimo
nial dinner will be tendered blm on
Maroh 5 by the Home nnd School As
sociation, In co-operation with tho
Board of Education.
He will take up his duties in this city
the second week of March, according to
a report received yeatcrdnv at the head
quarters of the Board of Education.

was re-erected and an addition built

"Help Wanted"
To get a derailed building boom on Ihe track agavn. I sr:
WHEN in 177G the delegates were
signing the Declaration of Inde
pendence, one of them said, "Now we
must all hang together."
"Yes," said Franklin, "for if we do not,
assuredly we shall all hanff separately."
Hanging together and pulling together
are needed now to get this derailed building
boom on the tracks again. Some business
men will do anything to help the movement,
except reduce prices. To head that procession
is somebody else's job.
Labor- is undoubtedly much more efficient
than a few months ago, and really willing now
to help push. If all materials were reduced
as much as some have been, the building
boom could begin to boom as soon r.s the frost
is out of the ground.
At our Sumter "concentration yard," in the midet
of the Southern lumber mills, wo aro steadily grinding
and filing away nt costs. This yard is a tremendous
help in building. It gives tho builder not only lowest
cost, but highest efficiency and quickest time. Time
may not seem very valuable now, but when building
really begins you will seo it differently.
Somo day you'll build. If you want tho work fin
ished on time, see that tho lumber comes from LLOYD.
