NEW SCHEDULE
OF CITY RAILWAY
More Cars Early and Late,
In the Day, Too. to
Garry the Public

The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany put a new schedule into SER
vice on several OF the local lines to-
day. The improved service is ON the
Riverview line, the Delaware avenue
line and the West Eighth street line
On the Riverview line the cars are run
on the former ten-minute schedule in
stead of the 12-minute schedule which
has been in effect for several weeks.
on the Delaware avenue and West
Eighth street lines the cars are run
on a 6-minute schedule from $50 until
9 o'clock in the morning. After 8
o'clock they are operated on the g.
minute schedule as at present until
o'clock in the afternoon. when the
6-minute schedule will again iV) into
effect and will be coNtinued until Z
o'clock in the evening. After that the
S-minute schedule will be operated.
Under the present arrangements the
cars will be run between 4 and Z o'clock
in the evening on the 6-minute sche-
dule on the West Eighth street line. On
Saturdays the cars on the Delaware
avenue and West Eighth street lines
will be operated on the 6-minute sche-
dule all day.
ire improvements dit NAtWtQ as GA-
periments to see how the lines will
be patronized under the improved
schedule and to see If the warm
weather win have any effect on traf
fic. It is asserted by an official o.
the road that receipts are falling OF
and that April was the poorest month
of the year for the company.
The last car to Riverview at night
will leave Fourth and Market streets
at 1905 o'clock and Will syn all the
way to Shellpot Returning, IL will go
out West Fourth street. leaving Fourth
and Market streets at 1910 o'clock
There viii be late cars out West Eighth
street and Delaware avenue, as "a.
present.
The Improvements are the result OF
negotiations which the transportation
and navigation committee of the Boa -
Of Trade have carried on with Man
ager Hoff OF the company for some
time. The committee found the CON-
pany willing to accumulate the public
and the committee urges that the pub
lie patronize the cars as much as pos.
sible. in order that the better car ser.
vice may be maintained.
BY the changes a much better ser
vice is obtained during the early hour
OF the morning when persons are goini
TO shops and stores, and late In tn
afternoon and evening when person
are homeward bound

MAY HAVE TO
BUILD SCHOOLS
At Least Ten Will be Required
For Children Out Of
School

A weighty question is at present trou-
bling the members OF the Board OF Edu-
cation. The possibility Of the need for ten
new schools is staring the city in the face
and how to get around the problem Is
what is agitating the Board OF Education.
The need OF more public schools win be
made a necessity in the event OF the
compulsory education law being enforced;
that is II the census OF the school chill
dren Of the city is taken. as is provided in
the law, on pain Of the city losing a part
Of its State appropriation for schools
Many Do Not Attend School.
The number OF children now belonging
to the public schools is about $500 with
probably 5000 additional, attending the
parochial schools. That there are several
thousand more children in the city par-
ticularly in the outlying districts Of the
city. who do not attend school, the mem-
bers Of the Board OF Education are con-
ident Comparing figures received by
Superintendent Of Schools Twitmyer from
other cities. with the attendance Of the
schools in Wilmington, there must be at
least 5000 OF these children. Should the
children in question be made to attend
school by the provisions In the compulsory
education act the question is. where
will they be placed. There is just about
room for the number now attending schotl
and 5000 more would require. I'm the
opinion Of Mr.. Twitmyer. about ten more
schools.
The census Of the school children OF the
city must be made. under the law In the
event it is not made the State Treasurer
can withhold one-fourth of the city's state
school appropriation. Some Of the niem-
bers Of the Board of Education are won
dering whether it would not be more
profitable to lose one-fourth the State ap-
preparation than TO make the enumeration
OF the school children and be compelled 70
find place for perhaps 5000 children. With
the present finances of the board at the
low water mark little could be accom-
plished toward providing an education for
so many additional pupils.
The parochial schools might be able "a
help out. however. and In this respect,
superintendent OF Schools Twitmyer re-
Gently said that the parochial schools Of
this city we're splendid educational lnsti-
tutions.
