Make Many Recommendations.

The report submitted to the Legisla
ture by the Revenue Commission ap
/ pointed at the last session, to make rec
concentration as to means for raisin,
more revenue, is an interesting one, anC
/ it covers more than one hundred pages
Briefly the most important recommends
tons are an increase of the retail liquor
license to $500 a year, a share to 60 to the
city or town containing the saloon. The
wholesale license is recommended to be
graded according to the quantity of liquor
sold.
No State tax on trolleys is recommend
ed. The commission decided to encour-
age suburban travel
An adjustment of railroad taxes, by a
specific tax on each line is recommended.
An adjustment Of a mercantile tax is
recommended, the minimum tax to be
$40 on amounts Of purchases Of stock up
to 5000. On purchases above that
amount the tax is to be the same as at
present. [
An inheritance tax is recommended as
well as the leasing Of the States oyster

ga the many questions presented
Efthe legislature for consideration
the necessity for a Normal Schoo
for girls should be the most promi
nent. In Delaware College the
boys of our State have an oppor.
tunity to get higher education than
our public school system affords,
and in the State College at Dover
the colored boys and girls have an
opportunity to fit themselves for
entering the higher walks Of pro-
fessional life, but the girls of white
parents can get nothing above the
public school curriculum in educa-
tlonal advantages at the hands Of
the State. The bright girl Of par
ents who are unable to send her to
another State where she would be
educated, is not permitted the same.
facilities that the legislature gives
to the daughter Of colored man.
Better by by far let training of girls
for teaching be done at our home
institutions, than send them away,
The State now pays three thousand
dollars to assist girls who have par
ents able to send them to normal /
schools in other States, and it is an /
injustice to the bright girls who
would be benefit to the schools
and help to the cause Of education.
TO discriminate against them, bv
failing to provide higher school,
system in which they could fit
themselves for the many openings
for advancement 1t is from the
ranks Of the girls whose parents
are unable TO give them Nor
NAL School training, that our
school teachers are recruited. The
daughters Of parents able to send
their children tocollege, seldom, or
never, enter the field Of teaching. /
Lets give TO the girls an opportun- i
ity for educating themselves, and a
by 50 doing make the schools in
dependent and free from the neces-
sity Of calling upon the young I
women Of other States to fill the b
positions of teachers in our higher b
grades in the public schools.
