DOCTOR WAGNER
URGES COOPERATION
Crangers Hold Pomona At
Georgetown

At meeting Of the Sussex Coun-
ty Pomona held at Georgetown last
Thursday, State Commissioner of
Education, DR.. Charles A. Wagner
addressed the Changers of lower
Delaware. DR.. Wagner stated his
mission to be to see if there can t
be closer relation between the body
of grangers throughout the State,
and one of the departments of edu-
cation of which he is the head. He
expressed the belief that by the
two working in cooperative way,
good results will be obtained. DR..
Wagner wishes for all the grang-
ers OF the state to map out a fu-
ture policy; for the State Board
to do the same; for the two bodies
to then get together and see if thy
can work in harmony, for the ad-
vancement of educational inter-
ests throughout the Common
wealth.
"The school Of modern times is
not the school for greatest poten-
cy,' said DR.. Wagner, ''but it is
the press; and when | say the
press | wish to convey the idea that
1 mean the PERIODICALS, magazines
on agriculture and mechanical de-
vices, and the daily and weekly pa
pers.

he said, keep the public informed
as to what is going on, or in other
words, chronicle the history that is
being made"
The school III DR.. Wagner s opin-
ion, comes second in the educa-
tional agencies, for when their
courses are completed the educa-
ton is only begun. The school is
