Mr. Croop's record in the Newark schools is well known by the patrons of Newark. Under his guidance many new departments were added to the school system, among them vocational agricultural, home making and others. His work was further marked in New- ark by the improvement of several departments such as the science de- partment of the high school, which he organized, and .to which he brought Mr. Davis, the present head of the science department. The physical training department, to which he brought Mr. Babcoek, and also the drawing and music departments, which departments are known by their records since Mr. Croop came to town. Mr. Croop's resignation as superin- tendent of the Western Wayne District is already in the hands of the County Clerk to take effect. September 16.

If, after reaching this third stripe, the driver fails to \stop look and listen,\ he will he given one' more chance to save himself. To this end, a final warning is to be painted across the pavement that ought to stop any, except a blind driver. This last signal will be 2 feet wide and will be painted with white and black diagonal bars, similar to the markings on railroad gates, and it will be located 25 feet from the nearest track, which, if the driver is not running beyond the legal rate of speed, will give him opportun- ity to stop Before reaching the track. It is hoped by the commission that this new warning device will serve to reduce the number of grade crossing accidents. It is believed that it \will save lives that would otherwise be sacrificed during the long period that must elapse before all grade crossings can be eliminated in this state.
