RETtREb CTER LONGTIME COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF INSTRUCTION. IN SERVICE OVER QUARTER CENTURY, INAUGURATED MANY REFORMS (Cape May County Gazette) At the close of business hours today, Mr. Aaron W- Hand will retire from the office of County Superintendent of Public Instruction, a position which he has creditably filled for nearh' a quarter of a century — an active period of earnest effort in behalf of the mental development of the ever-living1 rising generation. A Gazette reporter visited Mr. Hand on Tuesday and obtained some interesting figures connected with his administrationWhen he was first appointed in 1596, the total number erf teachers enjoyed in the county was 62, Cape May having eleven of these, and the only high schoolThe next largest schools were \\est Cape May and Ocean City with 4 teachers each and Court House with 3- There were 24 one-teacher schools and 9 two teacher schools. The number of districts was thirteen. There were 37 school buildings valued at approximately $67,000. There are now 50 school buildings valued at $778,464. There are now 194 teachers and li districts. Wildwood alone has 39 1 teachers; Cape May 24 and Ocean I City 25- There are six four-year ap- 1 prove 1 high schools and a county vo- 1 cational school of agriculture. There ; is also a county teachers' library containing nearly 800 volumesWhile in 1896 there were no school buildings of the modern ty*. providing adequately for light, properly distributed for heat and ventilation, there are now none in which this provision is not made, and but one which does not conform in all essential particulars with the requirements of the state's building code, and few which have not been formally p-rp roved by the State Department There is not a rural school which is not provided with proper outhouses built in accordance with the state's specifications. This is the only county in the state of which these things may be truthfully said, and it is not unlikely that it is the only one in the entire country. During Mr- Hand's administration, there have been organized for the encouragement of the schools and the development of interest on the part of pupils, the following county contests: County contest in Agriculture and household artsCounty contest in athletic sports. County high school baseball league. County contest in spellingCounty contest in high school English. These have been annual events for nine years and have had a wonderful effect in stimulating school interest and school spirit. Cape May county was undoubtedly the pioneer in the state in introducing such organizations as county affairs They have supplied incentives which have materially aided in stimulating the attention of pupils throughout the school year. In the matter of agriculture, pamphlets containing brief courses in agriculture suitable for the elementary schools, amtpiled by the vocational teachers of agriculture, have been provided for teachers and pupils and a special examination is prepared each year, a special certificate being granted to those who suecessfully pass itOur county, also, has been the | pioneer in the establishment of town- j ship teachers' clubs, which meet sev- 1 eral times a year to discuss school I matters and secure for the teachers | in the rural schools an opportunity j for counselling together, as do teach- 1 ers in cit" and borough districts, and j the larger schools. These clubs were ' organized twelve years ago and are ( valuable factors in the oounty school j system today. The second County Association of1 . District Boards of Education in the , state was organized in this conn • the first being organized in Middlesex county about a month earlier than ours- This event occurred in Decern- 1 ber, 1896, and the twenty-sixth annual meeting occurring in April last, v.-?.s one of the most interesting of the ; long series of meetings that have been heldIn nearly twenty-two yeaii of ser- , vice, Mr. Hand has received many letters of commendation from his ! . superior officers in the State Depart- \ ment of Public Instruction, and not a | single one of censure. The summer school system of New j Jersey had its beginnings at Cape May in 1907. and the idea originated i with Mr. T. D. Sensor, who was conl nected with the State Department of Public Instruction- The first sum- j mer school began as a private enterprise' and Mr. Sensor sought to in-1! terest certain cities in the proposition ; < but failed to receive the neces=*»r*- 1 . encouragement until lie reached Cape i May, Here, Mr. Hand immediately i interested himself and aided in >ocur- 1 1 ing a sufficient amount in subrcrip- I < tions to guarantee the expense fo. the 1 1 first year during which there were ■ but nine students. For the sc "ond j • and third years Mr Sensor and Mr. ■ Hand became personally respon-ible , i and borrowed sufficient money to keep ! i the school going- After this, it $>e- j 1 came self-supportinv. aided b>- . I • nual state appropri;.: of $2,000 "* tained by Senator Hand, and in 10 13 1 1 it became a part of the state's system j •

WASHINGTON ST. TO BE CONCRETED CITY COMMISSIONERS INSTRUCT i ENGINEER TO PREPARE THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. TO REPAIR SIDEWALKS At the regular meeting of the commissioners on Wednesday morning the matter of bard-surfacing Washington ■ street was brought up by the commis- ' sioner of streets, Mr. WentzelL This been a matter of some concern the inhabitants of Cape May, as is almost impassable after heavy such as we have had recently. said that it took almost the entire time of the street laboring force to take care of that one particular street, as the roads can only be scraped up to about six hours after a rain and consequently the whole force had to be put on the job. He further stated that the amount of money for the upkeep of this street makes the individual taxes as heavy a bond issue would for the purpose of hard-surfacing it. The same , thing applies to Lafayette street as regards conditions because they are , gravel roads, but it is thought , witfi the one hard-surfaced road that the traffic would be considerably less I on Lafayette street and thereby keep that street in good order at all timesThe last spring when the frost was leaving the ground automobiles went i to their hubs in red cla- making it . almost impossible for cans to operate at different points. Mr. Wentzell also recommended i that Columbia ovenue aod Hughes street between Decatur and Ocean, street from Washington to - Lafayette, Lafayette from Decatur to Jackson, Bank street from Lafayette - , to Broad, Broad street from Bank to Jackson, be hard-surfaced at this time, thereby making a complete hardI surfaced section of the renter of the ; cityOn motion of Mr. Wentzell the city engineer was instructed to prepare • plans and specifications and ascertain the approximate cost. Motion was ■ carried unanimously. The matter of the sidewalk at the ; corner of Ocean street and Columbia [ avenue was brought up and acted upon. The oondition of this sidewalk , was brought before the meeting two weeks ago and decided bv the eom- ; missioners for the city to have it fix1 ed and charge it to the owner. Upon r referring the matter to fehe city solicitor he thought it best to adverf tise for bids for the work. It was r unanimously carried that bids be received on July 18th and work is t • go on immediately. The owners have i been notified on different occasions but no heed has been taken. As is their usual custom the board : j agreed to pay fifty percent of the cost of the suits of the life guards, the i balance to be paid by the guards. , Mr. Schaeffer, a Cape May taxi • driver, was before the board request1 ing them to grant him a refund of his taxi license. Mr- Wentzell moved • that one half of it be returned to him • ^ be had already had the use of it • for one half of the year. He further | stated that it was with real pleasure ■ that he made this motion as this pars ttiular driver had been a continuous nuisance, coming to the city hall most i even- day with complaints about different onesJ. Allen Wales was reappointed city - assessor for the full term, beginning ■ July 1st, 1922. Judge James M- E. Hildreth ad- • dressed the commissioners in behalf of the Reliance Transportation Co., in regards to several busses pulling up to their stand about five or ten min1 utes before the time for the Reliance > busses to leave and taking their crowds. He brought out the fact that the ordinance specifically says that all cars carrying more than seven pas- ; sengers shall run on schedule time and stated routes. He said that the i Reliance Company advertised a sched- '' ule anfi had their stated routes and terminals and it was only right that ; they should be protected. He was "informed by the mayor that the matter would receive immediate attention and such action would be taken as was deemed necessary to remedy the trouble. The city solicitor then stated that on'** a few of the jitney cars doing business in the city held a license and very few of them displayed itThe board then ordered him to notify all of those who do not display their tags to take them out at once or such action will be taken against them as speciled in the ordinance for the enforcement of this law. L. E. Miller and Edward M. Miller, of the firm of Miller Bros., doing business at the Convention Hall, were before the board complaining about of the lessees at the Convention Hall who were infringing on their rights which were specified in their lease. Miller Bros-' lease states that they shall h^ve the exclusive right for the sale of drugs, druggists' sundries, ice cream, soda water, candies and tobaccos on the pier. They claim that Mr. Quidort sells ice cream and Mr- Cox sells ice cream and soda water. The solicitor looked up the leases for these two stores and found that the former's lease calls for a dairy lunch and Mr- Cox's calls for the sale.of butter-kist pop corn and the checking of baggage, and both leases specify that they are not to conflict with any lease previously is- 1 sued- On suggestion of the board, Miller Bros, made their protest in writing and the solicitor was instructed to take such action as was necessary to protect the city and their tenants.
