INreappointing the present super
intendents of the public schools
Governor Lea has assured to the
people of Delaware better school
system than they have ever enjoyed
before. This applies to the SUBJ
iect regardless of the fact that new
school laws are an absolute neces-
sitv. aud that rural consolidation
will Of itself work for the great ad-
vancement of the schools OF all
rural districts; but the reappoint-
ments will cause the better enforce
ment of even the old laws should
by chance no legislation be enacted
for public education. Prof Brooks
in Sussex county has poked up and
turned over the old mossbacks IN
some of the rural districts as they
never dreamed of having their at
fairs probed into for the good OF
education, and he will not rest un-
til the old broken-windowed school
rooms. almost devoid of furniture,
and operated for the benefit of the
few, and the school clerk in par
ticular, are brought out into the
bright light of public considera-
tion. A thoroughly competent
superintendent who has seen the
advantages ofrural schools in other
States, and who has the force OF
character to enforce the rules OF
the State Board of Education, such
as Prof. Brooks, can get better re-
suits from the schools than one
who is content to let the schools
drift along without anything more
than a superficial and an occasional
visit to the schools. The public is
to be congratulated in having men
like Profession Spaid,in New Castle,
Professor Carroll, in Kent, and Pro-
fessor Brooks, in Sussex, to look
after the public schools.

THE Sussex County Levy Court
is honestly attempting to have the
assessments of the various districts
equalized, and has appointed three
committees to go over the work
and to call in outside help if nee
essary. This is we'll enough and
very proper; but the fact remains
that the cause for all this trouble
remains in the method of making
the assessments, and the utter lack
of public information, which alone
will create sufficient public inter
est to have these abuses corrected.
It is no fault.of>the assessors, but
of the system we have cause to
complain. The laws on this sub
iect should be made plain and a
uniform system of publicity be
adopted. The newspaper frater'
nifty had a bill prepared for this
purpose two years ago, but it failed
TO get further than committee.
