The question asked Noruulk‘s
new Superintendent of Schools.
John Lund, yesterday was: "What
is wrong with the Norwalk school
system?"
It brought back the
reply:
"I am staiting off looking for
what is light. and will ltt what is
wrong evidence itself later on."
Seated in his office yesterday aft-
ernoon. a resident of Norwalk for
only two weeks. Mr. Lund discussed
the local schools. loser-verily he
expressed his opinion on what he
may do in the next year. by way of
instituting any changes.
Pitlfnl Condition.
He realizes the inadequatencss of
equipment at the present time. The
shortage of space in the local hirl‘
school, he described as a. pitiful
condition. Favorlng practical edu-
cation. a booster of Student. partici-
pation in varied affairs. he said that
cramped conditions will greatly
hamper the general instruction of
students.
If facilities were at hand. he said.
that he would conduct weekly as-
semblics in the ‘high school so tho
the students might enjoy varied pro-
immediate
grams. including education and en-
tertalnmcnt.
Dances?
“Dances?" he replied. In his
opinion there is nothing better than
social functions of this nature. "Of
course." he said "local conditions
may oftentimes prove to be such
that atInlrs of this kind need be
curbed. but I am heartily in favor

U. s. Won’t Fly Dirigible

Secretary Wilbur Declines Proposal of Zeppelin
Expert—Not Safe, Is His Opinion
SAN FRANCISCO July lit—(AP).
It is inadvisable at the present time
for the United States to join with
Germany in 11 dirigiblo expedition to
tho Ntirth Polo next Spring. Secre-
tory of the Now Curtis D. Wilbur
said here yesterday when informed
such a subject had been suggested
by Dr. Hugo Eckcncr. the German
Zeppelin expert. .
The plan. as outlined to Mr. Wil-
bur proposcd that each country fly
its own airship. the two keeping in
constant touch with and supplemen-
ting each other.
"The opinion of Dr. Eckencr who
brought our own naval dirigible Los
Angelcs from Germany to the Unit-
ed statcs. is entitled to great re-
spect" Secretary Wilbur said, “and
there is no doubt that the use of two
diriglbles instead of one for such a
project would be very desirable.
“However. at the present time the
United States Navy has no intention
.of making any commitments toward
a. dirigible polar flight. We will first
await. the report of the present
lilacliilllan expedition on Arctic con-
ditions bcforc considering such a
project.
“While Inflated with helium the
lifting power of the navy's dirlgiblcs
is lessened and consequently the
amount of gasoline carried is less
and the range of action is accord-
ingly decreased" the Secretary said.
Another complication. he pointed
out. was that the accumulation of
snow and ice on the ships would
materially increase their weight.
"We would not be willing to risk
a polar expedition with a lighter
than-air machine until some of the
factorilly solved" he stated.

Need of Bath Houses
Big Problem at Beach
Would-be Bathers Linetfiip All 'Last Sunday
Waiting for Chance to Undress
Norwalk residents have shown this
summer that they appreciate Calf
Pasture Beach Park.
Large crowds have visited the
beach all during the present season
and on week-ends record crowds
jam the beach.
It is estimated that on a fair
Saturday or Sunday more than 5,000
people and about 2.000 automobiles
visit the beach.
The greatest problem at the pres-
ent time scents to be the need of
more bath houses. Last Sunday
bothers were lined up all during
the day waiting to get a bath house.
A new baseball diamond was add-
ed to the improvements at the Park
this year. The diamond has proven
very popular and is in use every
day.
The new headquarters of the Life
Guards is under construction at the
present time and will be completed
Ill the near future.
It is hoped that by next summer
the city will be able to add to the
present number of bath houses, so
that the large numbers of bothers
can be accommodated.

of the finest beaches on Long Island
