SCORE
FOR EDUCATION
Present School Facilities Con-
demRed by M. {. Preach
erS Today

Delavare's public school system was
condemned as "antiquated. almost
helpless and ht for only Revolutions
AIRY times at the weekly meeting OF
the NJ. y. Preachers Association in
Union Churcn this morning. The as
pensions followed a paper by the Rev.
Dr. II. w. Kellogg. of Grace Church,
in which he proclaimed the lack of
sentiment for education I'm Delaware
responsible for Delaware's prominent
place. among the States noted for a
great percentage Of illteracy Of their
population. His paper was a plea for
larger salaries for Wilmington's
teachers.
A plea 70 rthe county, rather than
the present school district. as an educ
cationa lunite was made by the Rev
DR.. A. S. Mowbrayl district super
intendent, as a cure for the States
education ills. The power Of uneducat-
ed and unsympathetic persons TO keep
down the district school tax, not be-
cause they were not able TO support
a better school system in their dis
trict. but because they were too
"stingy'. was declared the prime cause
for lack OF educational facilities in
rural Delaware.
Sometimes the tax rate in one
school district viii be double that of
the adjoining district" DR.. Mowbray
complained. Home rule is carried TO
such an extent in educational matters
that IL is not possible to carry public
school education TO any extent in Della
ware. We need the county as tho
unit of administration"
Tho Rev. Dr f. 3. Short. a native
Delawarean, and formerly Of this con-
ference. now OF Salt Lake City. Utah,
enforced Dr. Mowbray's remarks by
giving his own knowledge of conditions
in school district no. 144. where he
was born. and by comparing the very
efficient public school syste moi Salt
Lake city and Utah with that Of Will
mington and of Delaware -Four famil-
les had owned most of tho land in his
school district he declared, OF which
only his father was in sympathy with
education and was willing TO bear a
tax TO support the system adequately.
Wilmington and Delaware had nothing
TO compare with the splendid edoca-
tional syste mof Utah. despite its yohth
as state and the Mormon predomina-
tion. he averred.
other speakers complained of the
inability TO obtain professional teach
ers IN rural districts because of the
law school tax rate and the consequent
small salaries for teachers In some
districts il was declared the schools
were open but four months in the
years.
The Rev. John White. Of Trinity
Church, and the Rev. Charles Poulson
of the Swedish Church. were made
members Of the association.
