ROME CITY AND DELHI
To the Editor of the Star
Some maliciOusly inclined party has
lately taken pleasure in wilfully misstnting
the condition of the Delhi Station School
No. 6, in regard to its financial condition.
Of the many schools in Hamilton County,
the Delhi Station School No. is one of the
very few that has succeeded in raising its
standard to that of the schools of Cincin-
natl. For ten years past it has been the
constant effort of every Board of Directors
of the school to make the school grades
in all respects equal to the city schools.
For at least four or five years past this
has been accomplished. During this time
all the branches that are taught in the va
rious grades of the District and Interme-
diate Schools of the city have been regu-
Iarly and efficiently taught in the Delhi
Station School. Families that move from
Cincinnati to cur district place their chill
dren in the same studies and in the same
grades that they left when leaving the city
scholars passing through the Delhi
School go to the Woodward and Hughes
High Schools for examination the same as
scholars in the city
Included in the branches regularly taught
are music, drawing and the German Ian
guage. Under the efficient management of
the four teachers of the school our Scholars
have made good progress in their studies.
During this time the school building has
on three occasions been enlarged and addi-
tional lots of ground purchased to give
room for the Improvement, new desks of
the most approved pattern have been pur
chased for one room, and other expenses
incurred not necessary 10 mention. With
all these improvements and expenditures
the School Board will close the school
year in August, 1879, with a deficit
of only two hundred and thirty-one dol
lars and fifty-four cents 1921 5il This is
the sum total of its entire Indebtedness
and all this Indebtedness will be more than
wiped out during the coming school year.
Our citizens think that to grow from an
ungraded infant school, with one teacher
in one room, TO graded school with four
teachers in four rooms, cOmprehending all
the branches of the District and Intermedi-
ate Schools Of Cincinnati, and at the same
time purchasing the real estate for the
school-house, and building the school-house
in ten years, and having only $23l "a deficit
in the Treasury, is doing about as well as
could be desired. We would like to ask
how many schools in Hamilton County
have done as much? NELSON SAYLER.
There will be meeting at Delhi Station
this evening to make preparations for a
suitable celebration of the Fourth.
