The readers of the Round Table will OBJ.
serve that new cut adorns our columns
this week. Principal Isaac T. Johnson and
sister being members of the Round Table,
I have thought it very appropriate to
place before our readers the picture of the
best private school in the State. With its
large corps of well-educated teachers. the
Friends School of Wilmington is eminent
ly equipped for doing work of the highest
character.
ssSome of the best teachers in the State
have received their training in this noted
school. am well acquainted with the
work of q few who are graduates of this in
stitution. Miss Mary Farquhar who has SO
successfully managed the kindergarten of
the A. 1. DUPONT school for the past two
years is graduate of Miss Ida M. Kim
balls first kindergarten training class.
Those wh0have received their training un-
der Miss Kimball have been very success
full. Miss Mabel Beecher. teacher of the
grammar grade in the DUPONT school for
two years, is a graduate of the Friends
School; SO is her sister, Miss Philomena,
who as substitute in our school for six
months, proved by her success the thor
oughness of her training. a.
know it to be a fact that Mr.. Johnson
has received several requests from differ
erent parts of the state for teachers during
the past year. A teacher that he can rec
ommend is almost certain to receive pos
ition.
Mr. Johnson, although at the head of
private school, takes great interest in the
public schools. The new catalogue of the
Friends School is very attractive and con-
tains excellent courses for those wishing to
be trained in kindergarten work or are
to teach. Those interested in
these subjects should send for catalogue.
The Friends School was built in 1873,
and is the Oldest school in Delaware, hay
ing had continuous existence Mr.. John
son has been its principal since 1881.

The Levy Court of New Castle
county this week fixed the county rate
of taxation at go cents on the $4,000.
Last year the rate was 80 cents or an
increase Of 20 per ceat. in the taxes.
OF course the argument is made that
the Sc, ,000, ,000assessment less in the
real estate of the county will reduce
the amount of the taxes. It will be
found, however, when the time comes
to pay that there has been a very ma
terial increase. Having increased the
taxes the Levy Court turned economi-
cal and cut off the appropriations for a
number of charitable institutions such
as the Ferris Industrial School, and
others. What ashame that the finances
OF the county are in such condition
to require this action! Who is respon-
siblep s., 800 are appropriated to pay
partisan collectors to collect the taxes
which the people by their votes said
County Treasurer Rettew should col
ect, and he should have been able to
do it without any extra cost to the
people but party politics runs its hands
into the peoples pockets to the ex-
tent Of the amount saved ~ from the
reformatory schools Of the county. To
what will partisan action lead? The
twelve collectors are undoubtedly very
pleasant gentlemen personally but
there is no more reason for providing
$500. 00.or 100000 offices for them at
the expense of the people than for
every other voter in the county. This
matter will go on, however, until the
people shall put right and justice be-
ore partisanship, and in the mean
while taxes will grow.

fewer Offices instead of making more offices

declines our assistance in bringing

Those who are not hampered by
their official relations are discussing
tile matter with much interest since
the new Spanish premier by his unof-

will be to recall Gen. Weyler and etfer
the Oubans sort of home rule, under
Spanish direction. ~ q,

slightest attention to this offer ana

yerished spain, viii % right along
That being the belief, everybody
wants to know what this government
intends to do. Will it try to aid Spain
by persuading Cuba to accept the OF
