Whnt the eovs Thouuht.

A prominent educator, talking TO q
class IN an elementary school he had
visited, decided to illustrate q point he
was making by a problem in long divi-
sion. the intricacies Of which the class
had just mastered. He put down the
necessary figures and then said
"Now. let us see how many times
this number win go into the other. Let
us try six" He tried six. and, as he
Intended. six wouldn't do. "Wel let's
try Eve. then" he said Five was all
right, and he went ahead with his talk.
On his way home that evening he
overlook two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversation:
Say. Bill, did a long whiskered.
baldheaded old feller come into your
room todayf'
yep" replied Bill
-And did he talk TO your
"Yep," said Bill
swell. so be did 10 us. but the fun

chump stumped himself on an example

WOULD SOLVE
PAVING TROUBLE

James b. Clarkson, president of the
Police Commission, is interested in
the matter Of improving the streets
OF Wilmington and offers a sugges-
tion which many think IS good.
I'VE have reached point IN our
street paving" said Mr.. Clarkson,
where something Will have TO be
done soon 10 take care Of our neces-
sary Improvements. AS the proposed
plan OF charging one-third Of the cost
of the street paving TO the abutting
property has met with considerable
opposition. I have thought that a more
equitable plan would be to make a
special street improvement tax for
street purposes only"
Mr.. Clarkson thinks this system
would be an equitable one. An as
sessment of three mills dollar on
the S52.000.000 Of assessed valuation IN
Wilmington would mean S150.0O0 an
nually Each property holder then
would pay his or her share of street
paving expenses.
