The Reason Boys Leave School Figure.
Point To Latin As The Cause

The Board OF Education is studying
the question of how to make the
schools of Newark most effective for
the benefit of the scholars that go out
from them into life. This question has
been brought to the attention of the
members cf the Board by many of the
citizens OF the town who want to know
II studies tending to prepare for busi-
ness and commercial life could not be
introduced into the schools. The mem
bers of the Board have taken the mat
ter up seriously and after an interview
with the. new principal appointed a
committee with Mr.. Friedel as chair
man to investigate the whole subject
and to report to the Board This com
mittee reported last week at the
Boards meeting and produced some
very interesting facts and suggestions.
The Elkton High School and also
the Chesapeake City High Schools each
graduated c'ass i'll the commercial
course tins year. and the graduates are
hndne no difficulty in securing posi-.
tiOns.
|. lhls course, which includes the busi-
ness course and stenLgraphy and type
writing and banking, is introduced
after the second year in the High
School. Thus all the scholars take
the same course up to the end of the
second year in the High School. At
the beginning OF the third year OF the
High School the regular High School
course and the Commercial course
are parallel. These two courses Oc-
cupy the third and fourth years of the
High School.

college graduate and an ardent &dvc-
cate Of the classics as a training power
told the committee that he was oi the
| opinion that the next few years would
see great change i'll Our pubic school
work, and that the commercial course
was going To play an important part
in it.
The report oi the committee was
thoroughly discussed by the members
OF the BoGrd, and it seemed to be the
general opinion that steps should be
taken looking to the introduction of
the full commercial course in our
schools and that this year should be a
transitional year. carrying on such
preparatory work as would be neces-

he would be willing to put forth extra
work during the year in order to rea-

1t would seem that this is particular
~ an opportune time to consider such
course--it is evident that an addi-
tlOnal teacher must soon be added to

BOARD OF EDUCATION
FILLS VACANCIES
Miss Mabel V. Jaquette Succeeds Mis-.
MacSorley- Salaries Of Teachers
To Be Increased

The Board OF Education met last
evening and elected teachers for the
ensuing year
Miss Mabel V. Jaquette was elected
as first assistant in the High School
to fill the vacancy OF Miss MacSorley,
resigned. Cecil Watts was reelected
as second assistant In the lower
grades, Miss Jennie Smith and Miss
Anna Zebley were elected.
The Board authorized Edward l..
Richards to supervise the laying of
pavements along the school property
on Delaware avenue in accordance
with the requirements OF Council
1t was expressed as the general opin-
ion of the Board that teachers proving
themselves faithful and competent
have their salaries annually increased
by S25 per annum until the minimum
of $50 per month is reached This
arose out of the fact that the Board
found it was losing some of its best
teachers because Of more tempting Of
fers elsewhere, and that it was difficult
to get applications from competent
and experienced teachers at the salar-
les paid. Some who had applied with
drew their applications when it was
learned that the salary was so low.

JEDEL COMPANY TO
ERECT LARGE PLANT
Large Properly To Be Developed.
Company Will Build Houses
For EMPLOYEES

The \. Jedel Company, manufactur
ers OF hre-work novelties. whose plant
at the old Depot was recently DESTROY
ed by ilre, are making preparations for
the erection of a new plant much larp-
er than the one on the Jex property.
They have purchased the farm be-
longing to William J. Barnard on
Depot Road leading to Cooch's
Bridge, and will build the new plant
there. This gives them much more
room ardIsenchance to carry out their
plans.
Although the details have not been
completed so that full statement can
be given, it has been settled that the
buildings will be erected on the stream
running through the property and the
water power will he used to some ex.
tent i'll its operation. The plant will
be much larger than the one burned.
and 1t is expected to be in running
operation by the end of the ycsr with
a force OF 200 men. As the work pro-
crosses. the force viii be increased
Asideirom the plant itself. it is the
intention OF the company to develop
the whole property. They will erect
dwellings, for their employees on the
part facing the macadamized road.
This will likely lead to a develop
incnt of that section. The finished
product from the plant will be trans
ferred to the gallroad by auto trucks.
The property ard location has many
advantages for such an industry. With
the prospects the Company had with
its short time of operation before the
fire it leads Newark to build great
hopes IN this n2w plant and many are
giving the members OF the firm en-
couragement.
A full account oi the project will be
given as soon as all details are cont
