OVER DEDICATION
While Preachers Are Wrang-
ling Over Affair Children
Are Out OF School
COMMISSION MAY TAKE A HAND
Building Was Ready to be Occupied
Today But Old Animosity Which
Existed Between Churches Prevented
it--Due to Misunderstanding.
speclal to I'd Evening Journal.


Milford. Oct. 1.-The Kent County
School Commission is having troubles
Of its own. or. at least its member from
Milford hundred is. in getting the coll
ored people of this town to accent in
the proper spirit their new school
building. At considerable expense to
the county, aided by contributions from
philosophical citizens and politicians
a commodious building has been erect
ed for the colored people Of these dis
tricts and IL is all ready for occupancy.
Today was set for the dedication cere-
monies. but an unexpected difficulty
has arisen. the whole trouble starting
with the animosities which have for
some time existed between the two
eolored churches OF the town.
The Rev. r. G. Waters was sent here
last March to take charge of the st.
Paul NJ. r. Church, and he started of
so enthusiastically that he engendered
the disfavor of the Bethel A. NJ. E.
Church members. headed by Pastor G.
f. Bivens. The whole thing seems to
be a misunderstanding but it has at
least had the effect OF dividing the coll
ored population and is responsible for
the postponement OF the school dedica-
ton. as neither side win agree to the
other having charge Of the school mat
ter.
just how the matter will end cannot
be seen. but the School Commission
will show a hand in affairs unless the
disgruntled ones stop their wrangling.
IN the meantime two or three hundred
children are kept out of school.
