For the year IoII-1e12 the
schools of Delaware will not receive
over SI9o per district. Owing to
the defeat Of the Free Text Book
bill, the city of Wilmington asked
that the number of teachers be fixed
at 200 instead Of at 165 for the
purpose Of basis for appropriating
olmoney. This was done; with
the result that the money for the
single districts throughout the state
will have to be cut down in order
to meet the advance in the number
OF teachers in Wilmington. Had
the Free Text Book bill been
passed and become law, the city
OF Wilmington would have received
$4,000 more than it had previously,
and the schools would have received
about $1,000 more for each teacher
employed in addition to the actual
cost OF books purchased. Allowing :
for the money which will be given /
to the city Of Wilmington, this will r
necessitate that each school shall Y

COOPERATE IN CAN FACTOY
Coed Manager Is of More Importance for Success Than Any Other
 One Factor.

Cooperative canning factories are in Minnesota. Some have been fail ures and some have been successes. The principal causes of failure have been the inability of the stockholders to stick together when conditions seemed adverse, and incompetent man. agement, writes A. R. Kohler in the Farm, Stock and Home A good man. ager for such concern is more i'm portant for it's success than any other one factor. Dissolution of membership Is very apt to follow a case of poor management. It has been stated by canners that where factories are prop erly managed and the goods well sold, which latter has not been a difficult problem, there Is no reason why there should not be a good profit in the busi- ness.
 One cooperative cannery returned 15 per cent. on its investment to the stockholders this year after several thousand dollars had been reserved from the profits for a sinking fund.
 
 years, but had not been able to give any dividends to it's stockholders the first two years. They stuck together, however, and through the lessons of their first two years experience were enabled to do well enough to return a good profit this year, as above noted. They put out a frst-class ,,11 that they never sent a carload to any dealer but that they received second order from him.
 One of the troubles with a co-opera- tive canning company is apt to lie in the lack of adequate regulations that will result in the product being brought to the factory in it's proper stage of development. It seems diff cult to get the stockholder who has, for instance, a few acres of corn. to bring 1t In when it Is in it's prime, if he has some other work on hand which he thinks Is more important. If the factory Is to put up first-class product, however, 1t must have regu- lations whereby the members will be forced to bring in the corn in Its proper stage of development Canning factories usually accomplish this by having man for that special purpose, who goes out among the growers and examines their fields, and leaves instructions as to when the corn shall be picked and delivered. Peas should also be examined in the field by some competent person, and instructions left as to when they should be de- livered.
