PROF. BROOKS, who is to have
charge of the Public Schools of
Milford during the coming school
year, has moved here this week,
and from now on until re-opening
of the schools, he will devote his
attention to the conditions and re-
quirements of the various depart
ments. This policy has been fol-
lowed by his predecessors, and
every aid to place the schools on
an advanced basis will be accorded
him by the Board of education.
Parents should make it point to
have their children attend school
on the first day it opens, as it ena-
bles the principal to grade and
classify the schools to better adj
vantage.

THE Sussex County Levy Court
was in session last Tuesday and
will meet again on August Goth.
The New York firm that bid 1924
for the $4,000 four per cent. re-
funding loan, has raised an objec-
ton to the-wording of the act au-
thorizing the loan, on the grounds
that the bonds are not guaranteed
exemption from taxation. This is
merely technical, and it is not un-
usual for such objections to be
raised. There is no serious objec-
ton, as the party signifed their
willingness to take the bonds at
1904. The Levy Courts attorney
has been in New York this week
attending to this business.

ious- accident at Rehoboth this
week, when the wheels of a carriage
were cut off by a locomotive at a
grade crossing, emphasizes the alb
solute necessity that all public
thoroughfares that have almost
constant travel over them, should
have the grade-crossing danger
eliminated, T railroad compan-
ed this in the large
now applying the
IS of the second-class.
Only this week the P. w. & B. rail
road, through its attorney, gave
notice of its intention to elevate its
track through the city of Whining
ton, and there is no doubt but what
III the near future the same plans
will be adopted for the larger
towns; at least, grade crossings
will be eliminated where possible
THE colored people of Milford
are in a very unpleasant situation
as regards to a public school. Here
tofore they have rented a building
for school purposes, but that is in
adequate to the demands for seat
ing capacity for the children now
in the district; which is composed
of all of Cedar Creek, in Sussex,
and very large part of the Tenth
election district of Kent county. In
this district there are about zoo
children of school age, and the prob
lem now before the colored people
is, how to get a school building at
once. The Sussex County Board
of School Commissioners have con-
sidered this situation, and purpose
giving aid to the extent of five
hundred dollars; and without ques-
ton the Kent County School Com
ission will give similar aid; but
the law compels the colored dis.
tricts to raise one dollar for every
two dollars of State aid given, and
this will be serious tax on the
colored people. In addition to this
they must own the land on which
the building stands-so it is a ser
ious matter which should be looked
after by the friends of education
We have many rich women of Mil
ford, who can we'll afford to con
tribute the building lot for thes,
people; and such an act would b,
a beautiful act of charity which
would have its effect in the future
by aiding intelligence and thereb,

the community. We have hear,

give in this direction, and any feel
