DOWN STATE SCHOOLS
ARE SHORT OF MONEY

A dispatch from Dover to-day says:
The public schools throughout lower
Delaware have had to close their doors
because Of insuniclency Of the appro-
priatiOn for free schools. Even In the
larger towns Of Laurel Milford and
Harrington the impoverished condition
Of school funds has caused a shutting
on Of all educational advantages to the
young.
In former years all the receipts from
liquor licenses and other sources We're
turned into the school fund by the
state treasurer. but for the past season
the state has tried to make the schools
exc out an existence on 100000 a year
for the entire state. The result mas
been felt at its most severe extent this
year, when. ever since April /, school
commissioners have tried to piece out
so that they could at least give eight
months Of schooling instead Of ten.
THE effect OF this deterioration In
school affairs" says Professor c. G.
Tindall, superintendent of free
schools, ''is that many of the schools
which should have three teachers are
working along with only two. each
teacher being compelled to instruct
sixty or seventy pupils-a bad invest
ment for the state, the teacher and the
pupils. Teachers who have been com
pelled to quit at the end of eight
months and whose livelihood has thus
been cut of. have been forced TO ge
other employment, and this means hal
a farmer and only half a teacher" Pro.
fessor Tindall suggests an increase Oi
$4,000 as an absolute necessity.
