CONSOLIDATION Of
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
BETTER SERVICE WILL BE SECURED
BY THE CHANGE.
Scholars From the Small Schools Will
Get the Advantage Of the Graded
SChOOls-The Cost Of Schools
Smaller.

The WicOmico News, of Salisbury,
last week, said:
Much time was speht by the School
Board Friday in considering the con-
sOlidatiOn of small schools in the
county. The matter was discussed in
all its phases, and the conclusion was
reached that the benefits to accrue to
the pupils would be many, and would
outweigh all the objections urged by
parents. In the first place, the small
school is not wanted by the best teach
ers because Of the small salary attached,
and in consequence the school Is sup.
piled often by a teacher who is not up
in the best methods of instruction. In
the second place, the expense Of the
small school is too great for the results
attained. The per capita cost is much
greater in small than in large schools.
In the third place, few pupils of small
schools are incOnvenienced by being
transferred to larger and better schools,
some of which are graded. All these
things were considered by the Board,
and it was the unanimous opinion that
it would be to the advantage of all
concerned to consolidate small schools
in all parts Of the county. Acting upon
this conclusion the Board, Friday, or
dered Nelson's School in ROckawslk
ing closed, the pupils to be absorbed
by Hebron, Charity, and Rockawalk-
ing; Deep Branch school was also dis
the majority of the pupils to
go to Tyaskin, graded school,"

friends of public education desired the

To submit Bids for New Steamer.

Plans and specifications are about
completed for the new steamer and il
is expected that the same will be sub
mitted to the contractors for bids in a
week or ten days. There are few con-
tractors that know that the boat is to
be built and they have already esti-
mated partially on the boat. The direc-
tors OF the stock ompanylare pushing
the matter as fast as possible and it is
evident that the construction of the
boat will be begun about the last Of
August or the first of September. 1t
may be of interest to those who are not
already familiar with the details of the
boat to be to give the dimensions of the
same. The steamer will be 130 feet over
all, 26 feet beam and 20 foot hold. 1t
is estimated that there will be about 20
good comfortable state rooms. There
is some stock that is not yet taken and
the directors would like to have the
subscriptions Of any who are interested
in steamer for this locality.

Delaware Banks May Pay Interest.

A campaign will probably be begun
in this State to have all banks pay in-
terest on deposits, either those subject
to checks or to notification before with
drawal. Two opposition banks now
established at Harrington are already
paying interest but nearly all the banks
Of the State are doing increasing busi-
ness without allowing any interest
whatever. The banks Of Chestertown,
Md, appear to have given the matter
Of paying interest on deposits a thor
ough trial, with remarkable satisfae-
tory results. The directors Of the Kent
County Savings Bank of ChestertOwn,
at their semi-annual meeting, after pay
ing an interest Of 4 per cent. on all
savings accounts and all ether expenses
for the past six months, declared a
semi annual dividend of 3 per cent, and
then carried 1898 to undivided profits.
This made the banks undivided pro.
fits about SIS, 600.

Encourage Home Talent.

That Milford has the best boys base
ball team in the State is unquestioned
and the fact should be a source Of pride
to every citizen whether he be base
ball enthusiast or not in fact there
should be an increase of enthusiasm for
these boys as they need the help Of the
entire town and community and they
justly deserve it. With all credit to all
preceding teams that Milford has had
it would seem that these young boys,
amateurs, playing games Of prOfes-
siOnal order, should be encouraged to
the extent that they continue to develop
in this national support, so that in two
or three years Milford can have team
largely composed Of home boys that
can successfully compete witha any hired
team in the State the city Of Whining
ton not excepted. The best encourage
ment is for the business men Of the
town to make it point to attend the
games and contribute to the financial
support of the team and would sug-
gest that perhaps the greater rencOurage-
ment to the boys would be the large at.
tendance Of the ladies. Last season
there was. large crowds at each game
played on the Milford grounds and it
can be safely said that the games this
year which are being played by these
school boys are equal to any played
here by the former hired teams. So re-
member, and do net say, "well they
are only boys and cannot play ball"
But just see them once and beconvinced
that the people Of Milford are getting
good base ball without much expense
and then give the boys what they are
entitled to your hearty support.
