PUL HELPED HER 1008, ADMISSION BY MISS McOGEY But Had to’ Have Qualifics tions First, She Says—Critics Do Not Worry Her. MeCoory, sister of Brooklyn Demo- oll top desk Miss Margaret J John H. MeCooey, ¢ratic Teader, sat ut her ip her new office in the Board of Eda- cation Building yesterday with a pile of school papers in front of her and vases of American Beauties and chryt- anthemums surrounding her. She was deep in the study of school prob- Jems from the point of view of a newly elected member of the Board of Superintendents, and neither erit!- eism nor protest from without the 69th Street zone worried her. “Of course it takes political favor to get a job like this or any dtler job,"" cémmented the relative of the Brooklyn ‘boss,’ referring to attacks made upon the board's selection of a politician's sistef to fill the vacancy caused by the death sev months ago of Mrs. Grace Strachan Forsythe. “Political pull helped me, but you have to have something besides pull. You have to have qualifications ficst before you are considered eligible, and you have to have ability. I think T may say that my qualifications were deemed sufficient or my name would not have been suggested. Time will show whether the ability is there or not." Miss McCooey has dignity and re- serve without austerity. Her glance is quick, penetrating and appraising, and her smile is friendly. She looks capable, calm and judicial. A refer- ence to published attacks on her appointment to a position which brings her a yearly salary of $8,250 instead of the $4,750 she received as prineip4l of a Brooklyn school caused er eyes to flash. ‘‘All those remarks Ba criticisms have been made by persons who know nothing about the Board of Education. Therefore I am not worried and [ shall pay no atten- tion to the attacks. It's going to take all my time and attention to do the work I have before me. “YT have made no special plans be- cause it is better thorou to fa- miliarize yourselt with the work and the situation first before making sug- gestions. And | um not a person to offer suggestions unless 1 am con- vinced they s for the better. I shall be in ch e of the extensive activities of tae school, which will include the continuation und evening schools, ! education, vacation schools und playgrounds. recreation centres, athletic centres and lectures, All of which without the schools, or the regular courses, “T feel that this work is going to help tremendously in making good clt- izens and in developing democracy, You can't have good citizens unless you have healthy boys and girls. When I find a boy who tsn't getting on as he shoud, who is inattentive or interested In things he shouldn't be, I tell him to go and swing from the top of a door if there is nothing else to help him exercise. Exercise ts a wholesome antidote for much that re- tards a boy's best develorment. I am STOEL Behe Tee Nips 8p GAY BOY O° NIGHTS [DEAD MAN STALLS |; WAS TRUCK DRIVER; BR. 7.

Every kind of outdoor pastime will be offered. including skiing, snow-shoeing, skat- ing and hockey, and experts will teach those not proficient in winter sports.

It is not known how he got on the tracks but the police think the Col he committed suicide Conductor Joseph Poff felt the cars run over something and pulled the emergency brake cord. Trainmen ex- plored under the train with lanterns and saw the man's feet. Sergt. Joseph Reichert and Pollceman Michael Kelly of the Bridge Squad came up and, after braving the third rail in an effort to extricate the body, sent for an ambulance and an emergency crew. When Dr. Mendelsohn of Gouve- neur Hospital arrived he also ran the risk of the third rail by crawling under the train but only succeeded in learning that the victim was dead. By that time the power had been shut off for the work of the wrecking crew. Meanwhile shivering passengers on the stalled train cnd on the trains that were piling up rapidly behind it were clamoring to be let off, but the police would not allow it. To add to the confusion, theatre and other crowds were increasing at the stations served by the blocked trains, both on the Manhattan and Brooklyn sides. The stations at Essex and Canal Streets, and the Bowery, Manhattan, were jammed to the limit, and re- serves from the Clinton Street Sta- tion were sent to prevent panic. The police found that only one exit was open at the Essex Street station, and persons in the crowd who wanted to \ Ve could not get throngh (6 reach Capt MeKetae ordered alt exits opened and sent for detectives to guard asuinst pickpockets.

Here they were litt better off, because all the trolleys were overcrowded, Along the line, at all Brooklyn eta- tions, there were similar scenes dur- ing the two hours it required to jack up the train, extricate the body and turn on the power again.
