building and one-half the cost of equip
ment and maintenance, while the State
pays the other half of the cost, the amount
not to exceed a specified sum in any given
year for any one school. The school must
be officially approved by the State Board
of Education before it can receive any
money. The sum of $50, 900 has been
authorized by law for the year.
In brief, the State will give money for
the equipment and maintenance of ap-
proved vocational schools on a dollar
for-dollar basis, in proportion to the
amount spent by the local community
out of funds raised by local taxation.
If Delaware will adopt similar plan,
our boys and girls will be fitted for the
duties of citizenship, and the earning ca
pacity of the next generation be greatly
benefited.

Public Schools +. J. Hardesty, when he
proposed that Sussex County should
build an agricultural school, where our
boys and girls could be educated especially
in agriculture and its co-relative interests.
We have law that requires teaching of
agriculture in the public schools, but the
trouble has been to find any one capable
and the equipment for teaching along
those lines. Let the county take up the
thought and consider it we'll, and by
establishing a school for agricultural
training in Sussex county, our boys and
girls will have the advantage of working
along the lines familiar with their every
day life. Under present conditions the
experimental farm at Newark is doing
fine work, but it is far away from the
everyday boys and girls of Sussex County
and under entirely different conditions
as to soil, climate and general practices
of agriculture as practiced in the largest
part of agricultural Delaware. We belive
that a school with the object of training
along the lines of agriculture and its
interests, will be splendid thing for all
the people. Will the practical agricul-
turists of the lower end ofthe state assist
n working out this idea? We hope they
will, and at least, let the question be
literally discussed pro and con.

FROM every side expressions of ap
Proval have been made by the people O.
Delaware to the writer in the suggestion
that sign boards should be placed at each
cross-road, or fork in a road, indicating
the distance and direction to the next
town, or point of local interest. This
is a necessity in these days of so much
travel, and it can be supplied with so
little cost to the county, town or district,
that it is surprising that these signs have
not been placed along the roadways of
Delaware long ago. The automobile
driver, as we'll as drivers of the horse
drawn vehicles, would find comfort in
these signs, and we hope that the Levy
Courtman of each district will take this
little addition to public comfort as one
OF his own especial duties. If each
garage IN the several towns will make
these signs, and erect them as directors
to that especial garage, it will bring in
more than their small cost several times
over during one season, and its good
business at that.

IN the much discussed problem Of pub

New Jersey, has forged to the front, ant
has placed in effect vocational schools
which represent the best beginnings yet
made toward vocational training by the
State, and it has been approved by the
Legislature of that State by liberal sup
port from the State treasury.
The New Jersey plan provides that any
school district, whether city, town. town
ship or borough, as we'll as any county,
may start vocational schools and get State
money for their support. Separate schools
may be organized, or departments estab-
lished in existing schools, according to
local convenience. The thorough prac
Of the plan may be seen from
he recommendations for efficient mem
1ers of advisory boards for the vocational
ichools. If the training is for the indus

IN condemning two school houses in
Kent County last week, the School
Commission of that county has taken a
step which should have been made
several years ago. There are many
school rooms in other parts of the state
where the crowded conditions are almost
a menace to the public health, and with
as much leniency as it is possible to grant
on subject where the children of our own
homes are the ones to suffer by it, we
hope that the parents of every school
house will visit the place where their
children are sent to study each day, and
see for themselves the close atmosphere.
and conditions their little ones are COM
peeled to endure to get an education. |
Every school should be visited BY the
mothers as often as once each month
during the school year, and when the
sanitary conditions are not what they
should be, that mother should have a
heart-to-heart talk with the fellow she
feeds and sleeps with, and who is re-
sponsible for the school conditions. Let
the women have the ballot, if for only /
the one reason, that it will benefit the !
conditions of public schools and the l

No reason for the cessation of hosttl-

Up to a quarter past the fighting
had not been renewed. The tenth day
Of the civil war in the capital found
virtually no change in the positions of
the antagonists, but it was understood
that the federals had received REIN
forcements.
1t was thought that the break in
the battle meant merely change of
tactics by the federal commander. 1t
was stated in authoritative quarters
that truce had been arranged

ORGANIZATIONS DISBAND.
With sickness and famine confront
ing the people of Mexico City, In con-
sequence of street fighting, the White
and Red Cross organizations have been
disbanded owing to the internal politi-
cal intrigues. Ambassador Wilson has
established an embassy relief organ
ization.
One rebel battery has been placed
in a position west of Nizza street,
within a block of the United States
embassy and another four blocks east
of the embassy.
Up to 9 O'Clock, however, these bat
teries, as well as the federal cannon,
had maintained silence and everybody
in the vicinity waited in anxious an
ticipation for what was to take place.
BUT LITTLE DAMAGE
Although the federal firing was Wig
orous throughout yesterday, Ambassa-
dor Wilson reports he was unable to
discover that it had inflicted any dam
age to the citadel although much
damage was done to other buildings
and many people were killed.
Mexican federal troops were last
night withdrawn from all exposed
points and concentrated near the ma
ttonal palace which has been placed
in charge of General Blanquet's COM
mand, according to state department
report today.
About 10 O'clock the firing became
hotter and the big guns of the rebels
at the arsenal were brought into play
on the national palace with a fierce
fire.
FORCES BEGIN TO DESERT.
The situation of the government
forces became so critical that one
strong detachment of federal troops re-
tired from the capital before noon and
marched in the direction of Cuerna-
vaca, 40 miles to the southwark.
Desultory cannon firing from both
the rebel and federal positions was
still in progress at noon. The belief
however was gaining ground that a
settlement of some kind would be
reached before night

mus was found lying on the ground by
Officer Clark, who sent him to the po-
lice station, but he left there shortly
afterwards. departing for the fort be-
