Places Also Sought.

Who 10 to be the public printer under
the new administration:
Thls question Is agtating politicians
and members Of Congress in Washington
considerably today. Already enough men
welt known In the printing world to fill
the Office OF public printer for several
decades to come, provided each was given
four-year term OF office, have been
recommended to President Wilson for the
place, and still others bob up So far, it
Is said UPON good authority, no decision
In the matter has been reached.
The present public printer. Samuel B.
Donnelly. 1t Is said. Is DESTROYS Of re-
tanning the Office, and 1t is understood
that he has the backing Of a number Of
New YORK; democratic members Of Con-
gress for the position. If his fight for
retention Is successful. 1t is expected there
will be little change in the personnel Of
the big print shop.
Want Strong Party Man.
But it is assured that the democrats
will do all in their power to obtain this
position for a 'dyed-in- the WOOL party
man Among those who have been rec
commended to the President for Public
Printer is n. j. Lillard of Pensacola, Fla.
His name was taken to the White House
by Senator Fletcher of Florida, chair
man of the Senate committee on printing
and OF the joint printing committee OF
the two houses. Senator F1etcher's rec
ommendation will have considerable
weight, it is believed. Representative
Finley OF South Carolina, probable chair
man of the house printing committee, 1t
is understood, has no candidate to pro-
pose at this time
Other candidates for the position are
Joseph A. Arnold. who is chief of the
publications division OF the Department
of Agriculture: George p. Christie OF
the Brooklyn Eagle; William Turley OF
Tennessee, who has the backing Of Rep

For Improved Conditions at Industrial

Mr. Editor
Suppose the Workhouse at Green.

exclusive of officers. had fiftv-sever
prisoners, and the building was so over
crowded that use was necessarily made
OF double--deck ker beds, arranged like
hunks in the shanty of lumber camp.
what would you do if you were a mem
Der OF the Legislature to better such 2
condition, which obviously tended ia
impair discipline, diminish efficiency
and perhaps affect the health of the
prisoners ? You would either provide
money or more buildings, or limit the
number to be admitted, and perhaps
have a waiting list. This latter nlan
you would dismiss at once. As to tbe
money, inasmuch as the prisoners come
from all parts of the State. and All are
committed by Courts and magistrates
you would say that it was the business
OF the State to provide the money for
buildings from the current reyenue or
by borrowing it in such way as ia ais.
tribute over a term of years the burden
OF repaying the loan.
Now, the supposed problem exactly
exists at this moment respecting The
Delaware Industrial School for Girls
The only difference in fact and in
principle is that the Workbousa i q
pental Institution and the school { a
reformatory. Both receive only persons
committed to it after hearing. and botb
receive persons from al parts Of tie
State,
Obviously, then, the Legislature must
either repeal the law authorizing comit-
ments or limit the number of airfs TO
be comitted, or provide new BUILDINGS
a waiting list would be intolerabie. In

ENLARGlNG and IMPROVING PLANT.
By the Governor
Thomas W. Miller,
Secretary Of State,

The Milford Chronicle Publishing
Company has placed an order for
additional machinery and materials.
which will about double the capacity
of the Job Printing Department, and
open up a new line of work, which
is entirely new to the trade in lower
Delaware, and on the entire PENN
sula. Just as soon as the builders
can install the presses and other
machinery, a new line of printing
will be prepared, and the business
men of Milford and Delaware in
general, will have an opportunity to
get really fine work in the most
modern style of printing. New faces
of type will be added as they are de-
signed and offered to the trade. We
have always believed that there was
an opportunity for this line in the
printing trade of the Delaware and
Maryland Peninsula, and we have
made the move feeling confident
that the trade viii appreciate the
chance for new things done in a good
and attractive way. We have placed
a new engine of the most modern
pattern to drive all the machinery,
and the Office will not be second to
any of its size in the country.

WHO the man shall be, and his
ability to meet the requirements as
Commissioner of Education, is now
a question for Governor Miller to
solve, and his decision will mean
much to the future of public school
education in Delaware. That Office
was created by the legislature dur
ing its present session, and the
salary is fixed at two thousand
dollars per year +; but, it has been
questioned if the ability to bring
good results can be had for the
amount. Whoever the apointee
may be, he must be capable of do
ing things along modern educa-
tional lines. He must be able to
suggest to the State Board Of Edu-
cation plans and methods to bring
about radical and practical changes
in the public school system, so that
body may be enabled to present to
the next legislature practical plans
for betterment of the public school
system. For two years the State
Board of Education considered the
question of more modern plans for
the public school system of Della
ware, but was unable to Law before
the legislature any definite PROPOSE
tionwhich would improve the situa-
tion as it now exists, and it was
deemed the part Of economy to ere
ate a State School Commissioner
whose duty it Will be to study the
conditions, and present the needs
Of the schools to the State Board
Of Education for them to consider
aud make recommendation TO the
legislature in a concrete PROPOSE
tion. Governor Miller will have
the responsibility Of naming the
man, and he has been importuned
to appoint one from the present
corps Of County Superintendents,
but that would be a mistake not
that these men are not capable, (
but for the reason that the best
results wouldnot besecured through
their efforts, for several reasons. 4
It is very probable that a man from
state might have 70 be call
ed TO this work, and the Governor
may be relied upon to give the con
iiuons all consideration before
aking final action
Milford chronicle., 1913-04-04

The Committee of the House reported
favorably the bill for an appropriation
for buildings a sum too small for the
effective carrying out the plans. When
q larger sum was substituted, the bill
received only nineteen of the necessary
twenty-seven votes and failed of pass
age. No other opposition exists, so far
as is known to me, except as to the
amount. The negative votes came
largely from Kent and Sussex Counties,
and, therefore, the matter is brought
to your attention, because nearly one
third of the girls at the School are from
the lower Counties. 1t is possible that
the needs of the School and the plan of
the Managers have not been made clear.
and what is now urged is the ne
cessity of some adequate relief at this
present session. A full consideration
of the plan win be welcomed The
Managers, after visiting and investigat.
ing other similar Institutions. known
the kind and number of buildings, and
have even had made drawings of them
and have builders estimates. In all
this they have proceeded in a business
like way. But we fear the cause has
not been made clear. There is vet
time. Other and new enterprises have
received large appropriations, but the
old ones mustnot, therefore, beneglect-
ed. If the Legislature has already APP
propriated so much money for new IN
and if the current revenues
are not sufficient to supply the money
so imperatively needed for this School /
is there in your opinion any substantial /
reason against an issue of bonds by the |
State to meet this present need? Is |
there not an advantage in bonds, in that |
the burden of the appropriation is dis
tributed over coming years p?
Your consideration of these matters
is invited and an expression of your
views solicited. There is yet time for
this Legislature to act, even if unani-
nous consent be necessary.

The loss of human life resulting from these oc-

THERE is prevalent a general
misunderstanding as to when the
ten hour law and the child labor
law, which were enacted by the
legislature this sessions. 60 into
effect. The ten hour law takes ef-
feet July Ist, and the child labor
law at January Ist, 1914. When
the laws are read carefully, it will
be found no hardship TO confrom
to them by all who are interested.
THE legislature has enacted q
law which provides for building
good roads in Kent County. Its
provisions mainly are, that the State
will pay for half Of the roads built,
the county must pay forty per cent
and the abutting property must
pay ten per cent Of the cost. OF
this law the Morning News says
The people of Kent County are to
be congratulated upon the fact that
the legislature has passed the good
roads bill introduced into the Sen.
ate by Mr.. Walls of Smyrna. This
bill provides for a bond issue of
sIoo 600, with which roads are to
be built when sixty per cent of the
residents along a route petition for
them and the property owners agree
to pay ten per cent Of the cost of
The bill provides for
the abolition of the present road
0verseers and the appointment of
under the direction of
county engineer.
All the provisions strike us as
good, and if the county is bonded .
or SIoo,o 900 we believe that the
,itizeus will see to it that the money
5 properly employed. Under the
present method a considerable a.
Mount spent for alleged improve
nent is wasted. With the sum to
'e secured from bonds the county
hOuld be able to do much good
york, and we trust that from the
cry beginning Kent will demand
hat the built roads shall be kept
j repair and not allowed to de-
eriOrste.
In considering the bill in actual
peration-for we presume that
iovernor Miller will sign 1.-THE
uPont boulevard matter will come |
p. One Of the first roads to be ,
in Kent, weshould fancy, !
-ould be the state highway be-
yeen Smyrna and Dover or be- J
yeen Dover and Milford, depend y
lg upon which community could
Sert the greater influence with the i
evy Court. 9
If the road from Smyrna to Dover
lould be improved first, this c
ould mean practically an exten- t
on of the New Castle County t
)ad' we should have, for in i
ance, a continuous good road from I
lis city to Dover. But with un-
.rtainty surrounding the dupont t
which would ifbuilt in "
ude highway between Smyrna

ent Levy Court might hesitate ?
sfore preceding under the Walls j..
Il to improve the road between h
nyrna and Dover, for if the du- b
ont highway should be built it tC
ould almost parallel this present y !,
ate road. :,
Under the Walls bill the owners
abutting the properties are ex- S
'cted to pay something for the &
ad, and in what part OF the fo
unity the first improvement would P
