FAVORS REDPENING OF NONROE SCHOOL Lriticizes Education Board Lazhing €11 in criticism against the board of education, the school survey committee headed by former Mayor George A. Quigley, vesterdey atternoon declared against aban- donment of the Monroe school as “tommyrot,” and tacitly agreed 1o recommend reopening of the build- ing to relieve elementary school con- gestion. The Monroe building was vacated last year after the latest addition 10 the system, the Robert J. Vance school, was occupied. Claim was then made that the building was in * such a state of repair that it would be poor business to attempt to re- condition it. Members of the survey committee, some of whom are build- ers, do not agree with the school committee, and believe classrooms could be provided at low cost by making necessary repairs, they said | yesterday. “\Waste,” “Neglect,” “Carelessness” A surprise confronted the survey committee when it found abandoned furniture piled high in some of the classrooms and many desks in an- other part of the building had the appearance of having been dis- mantled. This was characterized as “downright waste,” ‘neglect” and “carelessness” on the part of the school committee. The desks are of the type used in some other schools and are satisfactory, it was claimed. Bullders on the committee agreed that plumbing, heating and lighting changes would be advisable and that some new flooring was needed, but they eonsidered the building to be of unusually strong construction and capable of repair at a cost scarcely more than that of a single new room. The Benjamin Franklin and the Israel Putnam buildings were vis- ited and were found to be filled close to capacity. Sacred Heart School Visited Although the Bacred Heart school, being a private institution, is not in- cluded in the survey planned, the building was inspected. The struc- ture and its layout impressed the committeemen .It was learned that the cost was about one-half that paid by the city for equal accom- modations. Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the church, who erected the building. was asked if he could account for the reported disparity between his building costs and those of the school board, and he answer- ‘O, the city has lots of money. SOUTH DEFINITELY IN CAMPAIGN NOW (Continued from First Page) and Smith has | both the west and been the > east, omised Many thousands turhed out and cYiecred the republican nominee in | lis two-day swing into New Jersey, | waere he preached republican pros- | perity and a rcpublican tariff. | Cheering crowds surged about his| democratic opponent as he opened | his campaign at Omaha with a| pledge of farm relief, continued {t at Qklahoma City with a denuncia- tion of “whispering” and religious | intolerance, and moved on toward | Denver, where he speaks tonight. Noteworthy Praise Some of the praise that heaped ft- clf on the two men came from noteworthy sources. After Smith had declared at Omaha for the prin- ciple of the McNary-Haugen bill, without directly accepting the bill itself, Adam McMullen, the republi- can governor of Nebraska, was moved to say that the democratic nominee was showing an increasing understanding of the farm problem. John L. Lewis, field marshal of the United Mine Workers, pronounced Hoover's Newark speech an evi- dence of keen understanding of the problems of labor. Both Smith and Hoover were promised Wisconsin positively claimed heretofore by the democrats —after the republican state conven- tion had voted down the LaFollette | delegates and endorsed Hoover. Both Use Radio Over the radio, south and east and west have had opportunity during the week to further glimpse the per- sonalities of the two nominees, and incidentally to judge between two | vastly different methods of presiden- | tial campaigning. | Those who listened to Mr. Hoo- | ver's Newark speech Monday night heard the rounded phrases of a stu- diously-prepared campaign utter ance, mustering statistics and eco- nomic arguments in neat array. de void of direct reference to the po. litical opposition, and delivered in an even vein of unbroken serious- | ness. | Those who tuned in on Governor | Smith at Omaha just 24 hours later listened to an exiemporancous po- | litical speech. worded in convention- | al manner, directly naming the re- publican nominee again and again, | alternating between serious argu- ment and langh-provoking satire. | and reaching its climax in an out-of- hand reply to a set of questions ed in a local newspaper. Hoover's method accords with the accrpted tashion of modern presi- dential campaign addresses. Smith's | is an innovation.

On both sides there has been some impa- tience in the ranka “All we can get from national headquarters is orders about organ- ization,” said the secretary of one state committee the other day, as he thumbed a pad of unfilled requisi- tions for campaign literature. “Al- ways more organization. Wet get telegrams every day asking us to designate a chairman for this and a chairman for that. What we nieed is action. A few days later the secretary of a regional committee of the other n a neighbor state, complain- “We can't talk national head- quarters into starting the camnaign. We have had too much organization and not enough campaigning. In this state the country voters get set in their opinions about this time of vear. We need speakers and litera- ture, and not so much organization.” Presumably now that the two candidates themselves have shown the way, the full current is to be switched on, and these two much- organized machine are to begin in carnest their interesting resolutions.

Fort Myers sent a doctor, two nurses and three trucks filled with sup- plies when Chief of Police C. G. Enos of that city reported that his reliet expedition had discovered 40 cases of influenza. Governor John W. Martin, who with other high officials completed a survey of the Pahokee disaster area on the eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee was authority for the statement that the whole of the Everglades was flooded. Go In Motorboat The governor's party was forced to negotiate part of its trip alorg the corpse strewn highway to Pahokee by motorboat and truck. due to flood conditions. In an offi- cial statement renewing his appeal to all Florida te contribute and speedily to the Everglade refugees, the governor described flood condi- tions as follows: “For a radius of 25 to 30 miles just back of the high ridge of lard that separates Lake Okeechoboe from the Everglades, the land | completely covered with water. “These people are unable to gct out or off this ridge of land adja- ceht to the lake house because miles | of water which surrounds on both sides and sufficient boats are not available to handle the situatien. Connors highway, the only road to this territory is under water for nine miles. The entire Evcrglades are flooded.” Describes Conditions In a statement on his return to Palm Beach the governor described the condition of which he spoke: “Toduy In traveling six miles on the road between Pahokee and Belle Glade (where the was believed to have exacted its heaviest toll in lives) 1 counted 27 corpses which had not been taken from the water. The total number of dead lying on the roadside and not yet buried but in plank coffins numbered This should be add- ed to the 537 already interred. Fif- ty-seven additional bodies were hauled out today in trucks, and to- night, four truck loads of hodies were brought from adjacent areas by boat, loaded, and sent to Palm Beach for burial. “When the water recedes and the dead are taken from uinder the debris cast up by the storm, the to- tal number who pertshea in this disaster, carefully estimated by the most reliable people living in this section, will number at least and bodies are being discovered un= der the debris and in the water hourly. x x x The area visited by me today does not begin to cover the stricken territory and I men- tion these conditions in an appeal to the people of the state of Florida. urging them to respond guickly and generously.” That the governor's appeal. to- gether with his first one made earlicr in the week, was receiving atten- tion was borne out in the reports of varions Florida cities and prof- ters of aid from the outside.

Hamlin of Camp street last evening on the occasion of their 30th wedding anniversary. The affair was part of the opening session of the fall season of the Men’s club. Mr. Hamlin, who has been president for the past three years, was in charge, entirely un- aware of the feature of the program’ involving himself and his wife. The meeting opened with a brief address by Mr. Hamlin, welcoming the members back after their tions and outlining plans for the winter, He introduced Dwight Skinner, superintendent of the New Britain Boys' club, and Peter Mc- Crann, direci : of the Boys' club fife and drum corps. The members of the drum corps were present and played seleotlons, including ‘““The Boys’ Club March™ composed by Mr. McCrann. Dominic Cartelli, runner-up in the last world’s championship marble shooting contest was introduced to the audience by a representative of the Herald and received an enthusi- astic ovation. Dominic responded With his now famous smile, which has been commented upon by news- papers all over the country. He was somewhat embarrassed when told by Mrs. L. E. Cryne of Washington, D. C. who was in the audience, that she recognized him from a photograph in a Washington paper. CUMT Knight sketches 'Em Clifford B. Knight, lecturer, hu- morist, actor and artist, who draw cartoons for the Herald, also was introduced by a Herald represent; tive, who told of Mr. Knight's ex- periences as a vaudeville and motion picture actor and radio entertainer. Mr. Knight gave a brief address on kis experiences before the Kleig lights. He delighted the audience with a dozen or more crayon sketches from life of people he had pointed out to him in the audience. He told of his carly experiences as a newspaper cartoonist and his acquaintance in this capacity with Theodore Roosevelt, Willlam J. Bryan, Lillian Russell, Alice Brady, Reginald Denny and other celebri- ties. Drawing the animated cartoons for movies, a work he did for some jtime, he said, is the hardest kind of work. Sometimes. Mr. Knight ex- plained, the mere act of the sub- Ject’s raising an arm required ten to a dozen different sketches, _He explained the effects of “Kleig blindness” and told of some acci- dents to movie actors which the .!ipublic seldom hears about. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Knight called Mr. and Mrs, Hamlin to the front of the room where he caused them to be seated under a large umbrella, Upon the query from the audlence, “What is the umbrella for?” some one called “shower” which was the signal for the showering of packages from all parts of the room upon the surprised couple, Mr. and Mrs Hamlin also received a number of telegrams and a check for $75 from the members of the congregation. A brief address of congratulation was made by Rev. Raymond N. Gilman. A solo was hurricanc | 8iven by Mrs. H. L. Gronback, ac- companied by Mrs. Oscar A. Marsh.
