Yesterday
Special to THE EVENING JoURNAL4

DOVER, Del. March 2s-The State
Board Of Education. at an all-day
meeting yesterday with Governor Lea
in the chair. disposed Of the matter
FOR next years school curriculum for
the public schools of Delaware by ap-
pointing a comittee 20 systematic 1t
and report back to the board at a
special meeting on April "a.
The committee appointed consisted
Of Secretary Of State Cahall. State
Auditor Roe. Colonel Theodore Towns
end. Andrew Eliason and Everett
Hickman.
The State Board took up the matter
OF summer schools for teachers, and
discussed at length the dearth of we'll

DRYS TAKE HAND
In THE CAMPAIGN
Have Set Up a Republican
Delegate TiCketin Brandy.
wine Hundred

On the verge Of the election Of Re
publican and Democratic delegates to
the respective State conventions that
are to choose delegates for the national
conventions, the temperance forces are
preparing to inject the question OF
wet" and dry into the campaign
that is to end in November next. The
anti-license forces are going to try to
bring about not only tho nomination OF
delegates who have dry" proclivities
but they expect to cut a big figure
when It comes to the nomination OF
State and county tickets. The part
the 'drys" win play in the election of
delegates to the Republican State con-
vention on April 2. and the Democratic
convention a week later, will be not so
pronounced when compared with what
they are planning before the county
primaries and the next State conven-
tions roll around.
Already the "drys" have raised the is
sue at the Republican primaries to be
held in Brandywine hundred on Sat-
urday next and dry" ticket is in the
field there. Some Of the temperance
men say they are dissatisfied with the
nominations that were made for dele
gates to the State convention IN
Brandywine hundred, so they had an
other ticket set up. and the result Is
that there is a dry" ticket and a gem
eral ticket in the field there.
In several other districts the temper
ance men are sending around the word
quietly that $50 and So is the dry can
didate" or that 80 and So should be
cut"
Aside from this the temperance cam
paign will be renewed with addresses
in several churches throughout the
county tomorrow. This turn in the
political situation is not cheering TO
some of the candidates who had hoped
that the license question would be kept
out Of the campaign. It is evident,
however, that the temperance men
mean to exert their influence in hav-
ing men favorable to their cause nomi-
mated for the Legislature and other Of
fees If possible.
Word comes from down the State
that leaders Of both parties there have
been anticipating the injection Of the
! license" question into the campaign
The dry sentiment IS pronounced IL
lower Delaware and Il is expected thai
each candidate for the Legislature vii
be called upon to pledge himself or
that question before the primaries are
held later in the campaign in the lower
counties
Tomorrow Caleb E. Burchenai will
spend the day in Brandywine hundred
speaking at Claymont NJ. E. Church in
the morning, at Edge Moor in the af-
ternoon, and at Mt. Pleasant. near
Bellevue station, at night.
Horace G. Eastburn will speak IN
the Presbyterian Church at St Georges
at the morning service, in order to
arouse an interest in the 'no-lipense''
movement in that locality.
The Rev. John M. Arters, recently
appointed district superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon League for the penin-
sula, viii speak in Harrison Street
Church in the morning, address the
Sunday school of Brandywine M. Z.
Church in the afternoon. and preach
the evening sermon at Mt. Salem
Church.
