ANNUAL Inspection OF
KENT SCHOOL BUILDINGS
TooNrINUED FROM LAST WEEK. ]

The second day of the annual Spring
inspection of the school buildings of Kent
County again started from Dover, with all
the members of the County School Com
mission and Supt. James F. Carroll max
ing the trip. The first inspection was the
Dover Schools, where a new and modern
system of sewage and toilets have been
installed. There was nothing to criticise
there but the only suggestion was, he
absolute need of additional room to ac-
commodate the pupils one department
now is held in the County Building, sew
eral blocks away from the other schools.
This will be remedied during the present
year, as law was passed which enables
the Dover Board of Education to build
and supply additional rooms.
White Oak No. I46, the conditions
were not changed from last year, and no
suggestions were made.
COwgiPs Corner is in very satisfactory
condition, anG while some Improvements
could be made to the property, yet it is
in satisfactory condition.
Leipsie No. IL, was found in very much
better condition under the charge of Mr..
Knots and Miss Elsie Cantwell. The
rooms were clean, the buildings showed
care and attention by both the teachers
and the school board great change
from previous years.
Leipsie, No. IA, colored, was in good
condition.
Deisehes, Ill, needs attention from the
school committee a coat of paint would
be beneficial, and limb on tree is ruin
ing the roof Miss Ford is keeping the
school room clean and the outbuildiugs
were in good order.
Denney's Corner, No. 81, has no pump
worthy Of the name and a bad piece of
plaster in the room. Mr.. Willis, the
teacher, is maintaining very good sani-
tary conditions.
White Hall, No. ss, in Raymond's 5
Neck, is under the charge of Miss Mary
Jones, and the conditions of the school
were very good generally. The attend
ance is large, and the school needs more
new desks and seats to accommodate the
children, and the windows need arrang-
ing so that they can be dropped from the
top so as to ventilate the room properly,
without endangering the health of the
children by having to sit in draught
RaymOnd's Neck, No. 7, is taught by
Miss Baxter and the school is kept open
for nine months. The furniture is pic |
ture to look upon, and probably the aged .
clerk of the district assisted to carve the
hundreds of caractures on the desks in

How to Protect Yourself

You can wear honest shoes if you want
them-and at fair price
You can Get shoes made by the only
shoe concern in the world that tans its
own leather.
The only shoe manufacturers in this
country that tan, manufacture and sell
independent of the Hide Trust, the
Leather Trust, the Leather Jobber and
the Shoe Jobber.
Endicott johnson & Co. is the name of
this concern.
They buy their hides in the open markets
Of the world. They have the only complete
shoe-manufacturing plant in the world
"from the hide to your foot
They are the largest shoe manufacturers in
the worId-thanks to their policy of honest
shoes and their saving the shoe wearer four
profits in the price.
Endicott, johnson & Co started in the shoe
business with the fixed idea of service to the
wearer. 1t was the extreme unreliability
of Trust-tanned leather that forced them to
build their own tanneries.
Milford chronicle., 1911-04-28

his early days. Fully half the desks ars
carved and whitfield away for distance
Of an inch or more along their entire
length but, to the credit of the children
of the present day be it said, that these
defacements all bear the stamp of being
the work of by gone days This school
is in rich agricultural district, where
great droves of sheep Craze with scores
of young lambs frisking at their side ;
where sleek horses and cattle stand in
large barns well stocked even at this late
season with grain and provender, and
where the well built and large farm houses
indicate prosperity; yet, this dilapidated
furniture is kept in the public school
building. The children have far better
conditions at their homes, and it is a
shame for them to be compelled to make
use of the furniture with which the pres
ent building is supplied. Miss Baxter
keeps the interior very clean, and the re-
pairs suggested for the building at the
last inspection have been made, but it is
surprising that pride in having proper
surroundings for children to grow up un-
der has not caused the school board to
refurnish the building they are well
able to do so.
Smyrna. The town of Smyrna has
made no effort to connect its school prop
erty with the sewers and provide for the
better sanitary conditions which have
been necessary for several years past.
Probably this will be accomplished before
typhoid fever takes its toll from the chill
dren its up to the people OF Smyrna.
Smyrna colored) needs painting badly,
and it also needs a larger building, as
one department is now held in another
building at some distance from the school
building. The three rooms were in good /
sanitary condition, but the steps to the
front door were dangerous.
Clayton (colored) under the care of
Miss Cozzens was very clean, and it has
excellent furniture, much better than the
Raymond Neck School The outside J
needs painting badly.
PetersOns, No. l34, needs repairs and |
looking after by the school committee.
The SANITARY conditions were all right.
ServisOns, No. 6, is taught by Miss
Bedwell who is skeeping the school in very
conditions The porch roof
is in need of repair, the floor needs a
new board or two, and a pump is entirely
Bay View, No. 13O under the care Of
Miss Mannon was very satisfactory from
point of cleanliness. The ceiling needs
some repairs made and vestibule to the
ront door should be built this summer,
20 as to prevent the cold winds of winter
ushing into the room when ever the
loor is opened it would also afford stor-
Ige room for lunch basket, coats, etc.
Clayton. The schools of Clayton have
made rapid strides in advancement
which are noticeable even in the appear
nee of the children The school board
Milford chronicle., 1911-04-28

have made several improvements most
noticeable Of which are the metal cell
ings on the rooms on the first floor and
improved cleanliness Of grounds. Much
of the results are due to the teachers in
this school; viz: c. R. Edwards, Misses
Griffith, Rothwell and Spruance, who
encourage civic pride in the children,
which results in a care for the school
property. New metal ceilings should
be placed in the rooms on the second
story of the building.
Alley No. 2, is taught BY Miss India
Rothwell, and the conditions were only
fair as to the school room. The building
needs painting inside and out, and re-
pairs to the weather boarding and un
derpinning must be made. The water
closets were overturned, and a lack of
interest is indicated by the school board
Blaekstones, No. 1877, was clean and in
good condition. 1t is in colored school
under the charge of NJ. NJ. Beamer
BlsckstOnes, No. 1. is taught by Miss
Grace Darby and the SANITARY conditions
were good. A new vestibule has been
built to the school, coat of paint put
on and the property generally improved.
Hazels Corner, No. ia, has very good
clean conditions under the care of Miss
Clifton. Some new furniture has been
added. No suggestions.
Blaneo. No. 1873 (colored) under the
care of Miss Wilmore was in clean CON
dition, but there should be more room
in this school, and be painted inside and
out.
LOPers. No. 139 is another colored
school, but it needs nothing the old man
Loper looks after this school assiduously
aud with good effect.
Downs Chapel, No. s. Here is another
school where the teacher has made al
most all the changes outside of new win
low sashes and two new desks, vet the
appearance in the school room, in the
iOuHNS aoout tnC DuliuluSs ana uOak

ieously made comment of this particular
'oint Miss Catherine Virden is the
'oung teacher who deserves the praise,
or the conditions under which this school
vas being held, certainly were far in adj
ance of those Of last year.
Kenton, No. 9. The schools of this
prosperous Kent County town have been
eceiving attention from the local school
ommittee. New metal ceilings have
cen put up, rain spouts have been
laced on the building, which is two
tory brick, the grounds have been kept

EXPLANATION Wanted.

The Guardian Journal queries and
awaits the explanation desired
There is one fact connected with the
Bernstein letter that needs some ex-
planation. How is it that DR.. Aswell
claims to be leading a fight that is
destined to smash the administra-
ton machine, and is selected as the
proper candidate to give the famous
letters to the public?
Mr.. Bernstein as confessed is very
close to the Governor in a social and
political way, and is now supporting
Mr.. Michel for Governor, the public
would like to know why these let
ters were not conffded to Mr.. Michel
and given to him to publish? The
letters were given out to injure Hall
and if Mr.. Bernstein really thought
there was any force in them, it
seems that he would have gone first
to Michel. How is it. that an extreme
partisan like Mr.. Bernstein is found
treating in a confidential way with
Or. Aswell whom he is ostensibly
opposing?

One Hundred and Fifty Eligible.

The Picayune Baton Rouge cor
respondent says: Since the recent
examination held by the Department
of Education for parish superin-
tendents there are a total of Isl
young educators in Louisiana, a ma
jcrity of them school principals
who are eligible to hold the office OF
superintendent.
There are several parish school
boards that are now figuring upon
the selection of parish superintend-
ents. The Marks bill requires an ed
ucational and efficiency test for par
ish superintendent, just as the
school law requires one for teach
ers. No teacher can teach in the
public schools of the State unless
she has a certificate from the De-
partment of Education, and no edu-
Gator can hold the office of parish
superintendent unless he has GER
tificate of qualification from the de-
partment.
There are 100 eligibles who hold
certificates, and the parish school
boards that now have to select one
are having ample material from
which to choose.

THE MCNAMARA STAMPS
The PoStOfIice Department Bars
Them from the Mails.

Washington, Aug. 29.-With the
declaration that the Postoffice De-
partment is not acting in hostile
manner toward labor, the "McNa-
mara Stamps" the purpose of which
is to raise money for the Mcnamara
defense fund, were barred from the
mails today. It was explained by Mr..
Britt, the third assistant postmaster
general, that the order was gen.
eral one issu edbefore the arrest of
the labor leader for alleged compile
ity in dynamiting the Los Angeles
Times building and applied to all
stamps resembling government
stamps. The Mcnamara stamp, he
said, clearly comes within the gen.
eral order. Frank Morrison, secre-
tary of the American Federation of
Labor, who has been selling the
stamps in Washington, called the
action of the Postoffice Department
Oppression when he heard of it.

A CHILD RESCUED
From a Thirty-foot Well by Holding
to Rope.

It is reported from Monticello
Miss, that on Tuesday a child two
years of age was rescued after fall
ing into a 30-foot WELL When the
alarm was given out that child
was heard crying at the bottom OF
the well, which was just being
bored, party of men and women
started out to the rescue.
The we'll was so narrow that a
grown person could not go down
further than four feet. The rescuers
then got a small boy to go down
with a rope tied around him, but he
too would not go all the way down
After bringing the boy back to the
surface, one of the men began talk
ing to the baby when an answer
came. The man asked the little one
to catch on to the rope that was be-
ing lowered. The baby caught the
rope and hung to it while the res
cuers pulled it through the narrow
passageway.
No one had seen the child fall, and
only for a passerby hearing the cries
it would probably have perished in
the we'll. When the infant was
brought home to its mother the lat
ter was unconscious but after treat
ment she revived.
