Board Of Education.
Dover Index.

Dover Index
We note the appointment and or
ganization of the State Board of Edu-
cation provided for by law passed
at the last session of the Legislature.
We are pleased 10 commend the
Governor for bls selections Of the
members of the New Board We are
acquainted with most of the members
and believe them good men and the
public schools should be greatly
helped by such a Board. There are
many things that this Board can do
in the interests of education and we
understand that it's powers are such
that it can introduce many needed
reforms.
The State has long needed a real
live State Board Of Education that
can and will systematize and as a
central head regulate and shape the
public schools. We hope for much
from the new Board.

A Clean Town.

Dover's new railroad station Is as
suming shape when some idea of it's
beauty and accommodations can be
appreciated. and other improvements
are adding to the attractiveness of
the town. No one denies that Dover
is a beautiful town. but we want to
be recognized as a clean town too and
we believe the council Is trying 20
bring this about. The citizens can
help, In fact little can be done without
a general concert of action Clean
streets, clean stores, clean alleys and
yards, screened manure piles at sta
bles, and many other things in that
line will make the town look better,

COMPLAINT ABOUT THE RAILROAD.

&HE DOVER DELAwAREAN fears that the
i new station which the Delaware Railroad
COMPANY is building at Dover will not be adequate
10 the demands OF the State capital II will have
to wait 10 sec.
This is surprising news to us as we had sup
rosed that the new station would meet all the
needs Of the travelling public al the State capi-
ta and that il would please the people.
The Delawarean also cracks at the Pennsylvania
railroad station in this city. II calls the Whining
ton station 'moustroSity" and says that there is
mixtures OF growls and ridcules about il the
part of those who use IT, including some railroad
employees.
The nadequscy Of the Wilmington station is
notorious, continues the Delawareau, "and every
every time he has occasion 10 catch fairly popu-
lar south bound train in Wilmington
The chief criticism have heard is that very
often the cars going the lower part of the State
arc intentionally crowded. but Wilmington is
rather pleased with the station, think
The Dover newspaper also makes general at
tack on the railroad company and wants to know,
when will our people wake up and do things"
During the last session Of the Legislature. as
the Delawarean may recall, an effort was made
TO have created State Public Utilities Commits
sion which would deal with all questions arising
in connection with the railroad companies
We do not recall, although we are subject TO
correction that The Delswarean was very strong
IN urging the enactment of such law As a mat

OF two of the weekly newspapers mentioned the
matter. Certainly they did not manifest much in

We presume that from now until the next Leg
islature there will be kicking and prumbline on
the part OF shippers and others about the railroad

COMPETENT ROAD WORK

PY continuing the agitation for proper method
~ of caring for the roads Of Kent county
something good will be accomplished
The Dover Index is opposed to raising more
money for road Improvements if the money is TO
be spent by the overseers. The money now be-
ing spent It adds, is partly wasted with patch
work roads.
This is sensible view 10 take. The care Of the
roads should be in charge Of competent road
builders as The Index says. II should not be

of the latter from their position
inspired few of my brave troops
