vided for by the law passed at the last
Legislature, which abOlishes the old
road overseers and provides for q new
system, were placed in nomination, and
William Mustard received five RepuD.

went to Mr.. Downing The Democrats
Tefrained from voting, because had they
voted it would have been possible under

decided the ballot, and the election.
The Levy Court adopted resolution
that the salary for the County Engineer
should be $500 per pear bat that could
easily have been arranged later to a
proper basis. The Court adjourned

ENFORCING COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAWS.

Superintendent James E Carroll came
to Milford on Thursday OF last week to
attend hearing before Esquire J iseph,
in which Sherry Masten and David
Miller were the defendants rs parents
OF children who had failed to attend
school after legal notice had been given
them to place these children In the
public schools Of Milford At the hear
ing each parent expressed desire to
have the children in question attend
school regularly, and promise to see
that they do so in the future. The sup.
erintendent stated that be had no desire
to make hardship for any person, but
that he is compelled to enforce the la VS.,
and was performing only his sworn
duty. A minimum fine was imposed
with the cOsts, which were promptly
paid. The perinteudent has had
cases in Smyrna, and other parts Of the
county, and they have been served in

school Laws are generally being Oh.
served all over the State.

IMPORTANT Meeting
BOARD OF EDUCATION

The State Board Of Education held
an important meeting last week, at
~ lch several matters Of importance
were acted upon. A committee com.
posed OF w. Scott Townsend OF New
Castle County, John CsrrOw Of Kent,
and Charles L. Moore Of Sussex was
appointed to tsbulate and have printed
the statistics Of the public schools Of
Delaware, for which there is q demand
from all over the United States, to com.
plete statistical tables.
AS law was passed by the last Leg
islature compelling school teachers in
al parts Of Delaware TO make and de-
liver the reports as required by law,
she Board directed that notices be sent
cut specially to each teacher that the
clerks can not pay the last months
salary due them, until this particular
report has been made and delivered TO
the proper authorities, and receipt
from them will be the authority for the
payment of the last salary due the
teacher. This will save lots OF trouble
heretofore experienced by reason Of
teachers leaving their schools without
filling up these reports ; which makes it
impossible to make up the State reports.
The enforcement Of the Compulsory
School Laws was made mandatory on
the superintendent and, as a result,
the city OF Wilmington is now active
IN that work, while the lower counties
have pretty generally observed the law
but, in a few instances, prosecutions
have had to be made.
The State Board endorsed the TWEEN
tieth century fumigation plan for fumi.
CATION and repair Of books.
