At the meeting of the Board Of Edu-
cation last evening the relative posi-
tion of parochial schools to public
schools was discussed. Colonel l. B.
Morrow suggested that the board au-
thorize Superintendent Of Public
Schools George w. Twitmyer to con-
suit with those interested in the mat
p ter.
The question to be overcome is the
different methods of teaching used by
both branches of education. The pa
rochial schools are graded different,
and use other books than tho public
schools. and on account of this differ
ence children leave the former school
to attend the latter at the age of about
10 years, are placed it was claimed
from one to two years behind children
of the same age in the public schools.
Little children are sent to parochial
schools by Catholic mothers to receive
that training and instruction in relig-
ion which the Roman Catholic Church
endeavors to give to all its children.
and when the child has become we'll
informed in these doctrines, 1t is
placed in public school in order that
it may go through the High School, If
it so desires. 1t was said that the
system of public school teaching could
be followed in the parochial schools
and the religious instruction given as
we'll Over 1000 pupils attend the lat
ter institutions in this city, and the
schools are well conducted, but as
stated, there is a difference in the
grading.
There are eight parochial schools in
Wilmington, with an enrolment OF
about 2.200 scholars. These children
are being educated without expense To
the city, being maintained solely by the
churches in the different parishes When

matter. Bishop ]. ]. Monaghan had the

CANNOT KEEP
COAL ENOUGH
Demand for Fuel Has Never
Before Been Equalled in
This City

Possibly the most rapid sale of coal
ever experienced in this city in small
lots to private parties closed this morn
ing.
One of the big firms received 275
tons yesterday morning. At 10 o'clock
today it was gone. The coal sold for
81 a ton, and its sale is looked upon as
remarkable.
The firms have coal from the private
'colleries in separate bins, which they
sell at $8 a ton. They are not trying
to push this coal upon the market, but
when one comes for fuel the situation
is explained, and he can do as he
chooses. This coal costs the dealers 81
more than the Reading coal, therefore
the advanced price. 1t is not done to
take advantage of the situation, but
rather to help those who are in imme-
diate need of fuel
