_Newark Day_: For the purpose of studying history and development of
Newark, Nov. 7, 1910, the day before Election Day, was set aside by Bd.
of Education. At the board meeting, Oct. 27, 1910, it was recommended
that principals and teachers and, whenever possible, citizens and
officials lecture to the pupils about the city in which they live. The
day before Election Day was chosen because local interest would naturally
be increased at that time.
Since then interest in the day has grown through the action of the
Schoolmen's Club, composed of men teachers, principals and educational
officials, which adopted the suggestion of Mr. Frank J. Urquhart, of the
Newark Sunday Call, to mark by tablets important historical spots in the
city.
