SCHOOL SYSTEM
NEEDS REVISING
County Superintendent Says
Rural Schools Should
Have One Head
THINKS METHOD OF
TAXATION UNJUST

Professor A. r. spaid. superinten-
dent of the rural schools of New Cas-
tie county. is of the opinion that the
present method of school supervision
is antiouated. unfair and not calculat-
ed to produce the best results in the
education of the children OF the coun-
ty. 1t is Mr.. Spaid's idea to have
the system centralized under one head,
rather than have the 110 schools of
the county managed by 40 commits
sions. according to the present method.
AS an evidence of the weakness of
thes ystem. Mr.. SDaid has been unable
after six months effort. to have the no
school clorks comply with the provl-
sions of the compulsory school law
passed by the last Legislature. the
clerks not being strictly accountable
to the county superintendent for the
general conduct of their offices. but
to the school commissioners of the re-
spective districts.
This derelction 0f duty on the part
of the clerks has prevented Mr.. Spaid
from performing his duties in man
ner satisfactory to himself, and
emphasizes the need Of a new system
of county school management, accord
ing to Mr.. Spaid
The compulsory school law. how
ever. gives Mr.. Spaid authority to en-
force its provisions, and unless the
school clerks comply with the law
within few DAYS the county super
intendent viii take steps TO compel
them to furnish him the information
set forth in the law.
Method Of Taxation is Unjust
Under the general county school law
each district appoints its own teachers
and conducts all other affairs of the
school. That the best general results
NAV be obtained Mr.. Snaid thinks
there should be one governing body
and head for the county schools JUS
as there is one governing body and
head for the Wilmington schools.
bill providing for this Capitalization oi
the county school system was passed
bv the House at the last meeting o
the General Assembly. but was de.
feated in the Senate because Il pro
vided for an equalization of the schoo
tax IN the county. To-day the tax Z.
levied on the rental value of property
and stock. for instance: The man wh'
owns a farm Of the value Of 5000
from which he gets $500 a year rental
pays Approximately 81 school Ia,
yearly. while the tenant OF the farm
If he owns stock on the place TO tn,
value of $500. pays approximately 81
school tax annually. Mr.. Spaid con
tends this system of taxation foi
school purposes is unjust. and favorl
a system OF taxation for school per
poses in the county like that which
prevails in this city. He IS Of th'
opinion that If such n school system
as he has in mind could be adopted
better grade of teachers would b,
obtained. better schools provided and
the Der cent Of initerates in Delaware
reduced greatly.

furnish the star act of the program
at the Garrick Theatre this week. The
piece is particularly rich in its sing

three scenes, and judging from yes

repeat the hit made at the Alhambra
Theatre, New York, last week The

hearty reception. Dixon, Bowers and
Dixon contribute a wholesome bit of
comedy. -Four young girls who figure

features Of the entire bill is presented
by Hampton Del-Ruth and Company.

Revision of the Tariff.

The time approaches for another
presidential election, and the republi-
cans see distractions ahead which may
bring disaster and defeat to their party
if not removed. Therefore Senator
Spooner has been directed to make a
strong plea for tariff revision In a
brief tilt with Senator Aldrich, recent
ly, Spooner was cross-questioned and
said that he had always been pro-
tectionist, but that he was not so
blinded by his devotion to that prinei-
pie that he failed to see that many of
the schedules were so high that they
were detrimental rather than beneficial
to the country's general prosperity.
1t is strange that Senator Spooner
has not seen this before.
Doesn't it look as if the pressure is
becoming so strong from the people in
favor of tariff reform that the benefic-
iaries of the robber tariff feel that stir
must be. made to keep the republican
party in power, hence Spooner's sud-
den conversion to the principles of
tariff reform. If the republican party
will bring about a decent revision of
the tariff before the next presidential
election, it will be entitled to some
credit. If it does not, but just bowls
to divert the attention of the voter, it
should be voted out of existence.
Spooner has been silent too long on
this vital question to be able now to in
spire any great amount of confidence
in his sincerity.
