SCHOOL BOARD ORDERS A
NEW EXAMINATION TEST
PUPILS MUST ATTAIN AVERAGE
OF IS IN EVERY BRANCH
And Department and Attendance Must
Be Maintained at 90 Per Cent in
Order to Be Exempt.

In order to procure better efficiency
at the Smyrna Public Schools, the
directors at a meeting held recently
decided to make some changes in the
examination tests ann have promul-
gated rule that pupils must here
after attain an average of IS per
cent in each study in order to be ex-
empt from examination and that an
average of 80 per Get must be main
tanned in attendance and department.
Heretofore pupils getting general
or term average of 85 per cent were
excused from examinations in which
case a high average in some branch
of study would pull them through
when in some other branch of study
they did not make the required
mark. The resolution passed by the
Board of Directors is as follows
"For promotion or graduation there
pnust be a general average of rs per
cent in all studies, not Including
promptness, attendance or deport-
ment, provided that no study shall
fall below 60 per cent. The Prin-
cipal shall use his discretion as to
whether or not a pupil falling below
70 per cent in contingent sub iect,
shall repeat the work or part of it.
Where it is possible a pupil will be
allowed to progress in his successful
branches. Examinations shall count
once and class work three times. A
pupil will be exempt from examina.
tion in any subject in which he has
made 85 per cent in class work, in.
cluding written tests, provided thai
no student shall be exempt from ex
amintion in any subject whose con
duct, promptness or attendance ha.
fallen below 80 per cent

Farmers In Sussex Indignant Over
Lack of Interest Shown.
The charge was made Saturday in
a prominent Republican newspaper
that if the Levy Court of Sussex
County continues to prevent the cleo
tion of. a good roads engineer, the
members may be impeached by the
Legislature. Oranges took up the
matter and discussed it freely and
with it the question of just where
the Kent county Levy Court would
land in its refusal to put into opera
tion the Soper Good Roads law of
Kent county. Fruitland Grange, of
Camden, adopted, this resolution !:
Resolved, That Eruitland Grange
requests the Levy Court of Kent
county to put the. Soper Good Roads
law into operation.

TO STOP PRINTING ENVELOPES
Government Will Probably Discontinue
Printing Business Cards.

The Government will probably dis
continue the practice of printing
stamped envelopes with the cards of
business firms in the corner. For
several years past the printers
unions throughout the comntry have
been laboring to that end, claiming
that it was an invasion of their field,
and forced private firms to enter
into competition with the Federal
government. 1t is stated that the
House Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads will include in its regular
appropriation bill for the department
provision declaring that the
practice shall cease. The government
at present has a contract with a
Dayton, o., printing firm to do their
work, and at its expiration it is
probable no further contracts will be
made.

PennsY Agrees To Expend ST. 100000

In Improvements Including Better
Road and Some Modern Stations
By vote of Ill, 1877, in favor and
none against, the Delaware Railroad
was yesterday leased for 100 years to
the Pennsylvania Railroad, outright.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, through
its Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington branch, of which its president,
James McCrea, is president, will pay
in r4turn an annual rental of $406, 264,
as dividends to the stockholders or a
guaranteed dividend to the sharehold-
ers of eight per centum. and will
maintain and conduct the prosperous
Delaware property Eat the highest
point of efficiency" While it forms
no part of the covenant, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, which, through its
P, B. and W. division owns a ma.
jority of the stock of the Delaware
Railroad Company, tacitly agreed to
spend the 81, 400, 900 accumulation of
the Delaware Railroad on permanent
improvements track, new sta
tions, new bridges and stone ballast
ing. AS further inducement to the
acceptance of the lease, also, the
majority stockholders pennsylvania
INTEREST," agreed to an increase of
capital stock and an extra allotment
! to all shareholders of seventy nor
cent increase in their holdings, or
a stock dividend of seventy per CEN
tum. The Board of Directors is also
to declare twenty per centum exa
traOrdinary cash dividend. The mi
nority stockholders, through Otho
Nowland, chairman of their commit
tee finally yielded to the plan, saying
that it was the best consideration
they could get. 1t is believed the
surrenders made for the good of the
service will have far reaching effect
and IN Smyrna more hope>is felt re.
garding this particular locality. The
Peanut Roaster" is far from being
perfection, even though a trailer is
promised and then too Smyrna needs
a modern and better station will
up-to-date conveniences. The presen
box arrangement is an eye-sore tt
the town and of no credit to tn,
Railroad Company. Better conditions
and better service is now hoped for
