Kent County Levy Court.

At the regular meeting Of the
Levy Court on Tuesday of last
week, the question of providing
concrete drinking fountains along
the public road for the refreshment
of man and beast came before the
court on a proposition from S. H.
Derby of WoOdside, endorsed by
Commissioner George +. GoOden.
Delaware has no such running
fountains for the relief Of the beasts
of burden and travel along the
market roads. In this case Mr..
Derby will maintain the water sup
ply from his pipes, if the county
will pay SIS for the foun n. The
court will probably estal h this
one as an experiment.
The matter of a new public road
to Woodland Beach, Delaware 5
Bav summer resort, and which is
now entirely cut off from the main
land and is virtually an island, since
the public road was washed away
bv high tides was freely discussed
and a committee will report the
probable cost of the reconstruction.
Commissioner Truax stated that
the improvement would cost, s. 600.
John c. Hawkins, who had survey
ed the road known as the old Fra
land road, estimated that the cost
or maintaining height of sixteen
inches above high water mark
would be $4,000 exclusive of the
bridge. Several Woodland Beach
citizens were present.
Carl Fleming, an engineer repre-
senting the railroad company sub
mitted a proposition to the Levy
Court which the court accepted. It
was that the railroad company
would build a bridge at Wyoming
across the public road at what is
known as Liudale's bridge, provided
the county would maintain it. Speci-
fcations were submitted for a per
manent concrete-steel structure.
Denny Moore was appointed a
road overseer for the First district.

were allowed by the Levy Court as

Why Boys Drop Out.

BOYS, an investigation by the
Sage Fund in 752 cities and towns
shows, drop out Of school more than
girls. The first grade begins in
these places with 100 boys to %
girls. By the eighth grade there
are "a boys to 2S girls.
Two things have come. Three
quarters in both sexes have dropped
out for one thing but, second, the
girls who began in minority end
in a majority. Nearly half are gone
by the fifth grade, when only IS
boys and So girls are left of the 100
boys and 90 girls who started.
This is the case here. In 1908
there were 100 boys to 90 girls in
the first grade. In the eighth grade
there are left about IS girls to 10
bows. Mr.. Leonard P. Ayres, who
conducted the Sage investigation,
finds that this is because more boys
than girls take two years to do a
grade.
The large number of women
teachers who have less sympathy
with boys is suggested as a reason.
This has little to do with it. Boys
dropped out when there were more
men teachers. Women keep boys
I'D to their work in early years bet
ter than men. They understand
mothering better.
Boys drop out because they less
easily Weld to discipline. They get
into more scrapes. They are physic-
ally more active. They yearn for
exercise. Intellectually, they de-
velope more slowly. Later, when
original work is wanted, the boy
pulls ahead. In any 100 boys there
are also more old sticks who do not
pile easily in the corded wood of a
school course.
Give the boys more Fairgrounds :;
change the last four grades so that
manual training and physical action
are called tor, studies that count in
wage earning and life, and increase
the teachers so that special aid and
help can be given to the boy who is
dull, different or cratic and the
boys will stay as long ass the girls.
The high school system in this
city proves this. The Girls High
is one-half bigger than the Central
High, or 1886 girls and 1912 boys;
but all the high and manual train
ing schools closed 1908 with 447o
BOYS and 41I2 girls, or 348 more
BOYS, because manual training
courses hold the boys. In the high
schools of the country there are in
stead 81 girls to 43 boys.
The moral is clear-add play
make over the course in the lower
grades and increase the teachers so
as to hold the boys. When this is
done boys will no longer be drop
ping out, discouraged because they
take two years to do one years
work, uneasy from the lack of action
and feeling they are learning little
that counts.-Philadelphia Press.
