Rapid Transit Measure Subject
of Communication to Com
pany and Utilities Commis-
sion
PERSISTENT REPORTS
HE DOES NOT APPROVE
Rumors as to One Cause for
Delay in Washington Re-
Gently Revived-None OF
Parties Ready Today to
Make Public Contents OF
MiSSiVe

Governor Pinkham today sent to the
public utilities commission and TO the
Rapid Transit q Land Company .
long communication dealing with the
Rapid Transit's franchise extension
bill, passed by the last Legislature and
now before Congress for ratification.
The exact contents OF the communi,
cation had not been made public at
the time the Star Bulletin went to
press. There have been persistent rti-
mors for several weeks, particularly
since ii has become known that the
governor was looking into Rapid Tran
sit matters through II. Goodlng Field.
the expert accountant, that the gov
ernor might withhold his approval
from the street railway company's
franchise extension bill.
The communications It was learned
at the office of the public utilities
Ieommission, were forwarded BY ne
governor late this morning and had
Just been received. Acting Chairman
Williams Of the utilities commission
had had no opportunity to read the
governors letter when seen by the
Star-B Bulletin this morning
That the raissive Is regarded
as of much importance by tie Rapid
Transit Company might be gathered
from a statement by L. Tenney Peck.
president of the street railway COM
pany. When seen By the star-BuIle-
tin he said:
81 have just received the governors
communication and have had no
chance to read It. A meeting Of the
directors Of the company win be can-
ed for o'clock tomorrow morning 70
consider it,
Mr.. Peck felt that in advance OF this
meeting he was not at liberty TO give
out the contents Of the letter. Gov
ernor Pinkham wishes the letter 70
be made public, II at all. through the
recipients.
For some time the unexplained and
repeated delays in the progress OF the
Rapid Transit oil IN washington have
caused much comment locally. Sew
eral weeks ago 1t was rumored that
one thing holding the bin was the lack
Of express approval on the part Of the
governor. When It became known that
the governor was making an inyestiga-
tion Of Rapid Transit affairs, Including
finances, the runnors revived that the
chief executive intends to withhold his
approval Of the bill as it Is pending
in Washington now.

Cultivation and fertilization Oh un,
irrigated plantations formed the sub
iect of discussion throughout the en-.
tire morning session today of the Ha,
waiian Sugar Planters Association
G. F. Eckart, chairman of the com.
mittee on the subject, led the debate
so effectively as to draw the thanks
of President Dowsett at the close for

ing punctually at o'clock the sitting
continued until 11:50, when recess
was taken to 1:30 this afternoon, at
which time irrigated plantations will
be considered under the same topics
as unirrigated.
A large amount of attention was
given to the question of stripping
cane on unirrigated plantations, Mr..
Eckart taking the ground that there
vas nothing to be gained from the
practise.
Managers John IT. Moir, John Hind,
Alex. Morrison, John A. Scott, J. M.

question, which ms much divided as
to stripping at all, a second stripping
and the relation of labor and trans
portation to the practise.
George r. Ewart, retired planter,
said there had been tests of the ques-
tion made in Fiji as well as here, also
that a planter in Peru abandoned
stripping 80 years ago.
DIR. H. L. Lyon of the experiment
station was called ON to tell about the
experiments in Fiji, where he said
that only one test out of 80 favored
the stripping of cane. There was a

Junior Engineers On
Inspection Trip

On Thursday, May Z, the Junior
class in mechanical and electrical
engineering, through the courtesy
of Mr.. Ritz, superintendent OF the
American Fibre Company, visited
the plant of that company at New
ark. The plant is operated almost
wholly by electricity. Current IS
furnished by two direct-current
generators, ,-one direct-coupled to
small high-speed slide valve en-
CINE and the other driven by belt.
The classes examined with interest
the complete switchboard OF the
plant. Besides the ammeters, volt
meters, and circuit breakers, were
ammeters which told at a glance
lust how much current each motor
in the plant was using. The classes
also examined in detail a long
stroke slow-speed Corliss engine,
paying particular attention to the
construction and OPERATING OF the
Corliss valve mechanism, and a
large compound engine such as is
used in many modern power plants.

FROM VESTRY
New Rector At St. Thomas

At a meeting of the vestry Of st.

ing a unanimous call was extended
to the Rev. w. G. Haupt of North
East. Nd. The action Of the vestry
was confirmed by Bishop Kinsman
this afternoon, and arrangements
are being made for the installation
services, to be held next Sunday
morning. Mr.. Haupt was rector Of
the church at North East. but re-
signed about year ago to accept
a call to Reading, Pa. This he was
forced to resign on account Of i'll
health. The fact that the rector
has received three calls within the
last three weeks, two Of which
were unanimous, argues well for
the good fortune Of st. Thomas in
securing such an able man.
The public is cordially invited to
the special service next Sunday
morning at which Bishop Kinsman
will preside.

NEWARK A GENERATION AGO
The Growth Of the Public School

A generation ago it was the Gus
tom Of every ambitious parent to
ignore the public schools, and place
his child in some reputable private
school. Newark was favored as the
seat Of one Of the finest private
schools Of the time, Of a reputation
which attracted pupils from the en-
tire Delmarvia peninsula. The
story of the passing Of the old
academies and the growth Of the
public schools and the state col
leges, is one that applies to all
parts Of the nation. A short sketch
f the development Of our local pub
lie schools may, however, prove in
teresting.
In Newark, as in other towns
throughout Delaware, free schools
We're not thought Of as a source Of
the purest Americanism, but rather
merely as provisions for the indi-
gent. The name by which acts in
reference in maintenance Of these
schools were known Pauper
Bills" illustrates the sentiment that
prevailed, in regard to them.
Previous to the year 1874, provi-
sion was made in the free schools of
! Newark for the most elementary
education only. The annual meet
ing of the taxpayers in April
1874, marks the rise of the public
school. At this meeting voters of
districts Numbers 80 and Al agreed
to consolidate, and thus laid the
foundation for the graded school of
the present day. The old brick
building now used by W. r. Pow
ell as an icecream factory became
the school for the more advanced
pupils, and that of district No. 80
now the Kappa Alpha fraternity
house, the school for the primary
grades. The plan seemed satisfac.
tory from the start, for the minutes
of the Board in 1875 describe the
examination Of the school, attend.
ed by the commissioners and many
citizens, as highly creditable. The
number of pupils enrolled was 141
In September 1875, the grades
were reorganized and the grammar
school created, the second story OF
School No. 80 being fitted up fol
the purpose. Miss Lizzie Wilson
became teacher Of the grammar
Miss Sallie Lumb Mrs. Isaac Hol
ston) teacher of the intermediate
and Miss L. Gilmour, teacher of the
primary department.
With the improved courses and
grading the enrolment increased
until the year 1879, when it became
evident that the present quarters
were inadequate. After hot
fight between factions of the towns.
people a resolution was adopted
and a committee appointed tc
memorabilia the Legislature in
order to obtain authority to issue a
loan for the purpose Of building q
new schoolhouse. At the annual
meeting in April 1884, E. L. Gil
mour, James Lockhart and w. D.
Mackey were named committee tc
help the commissioners G. G. King
William Homewood and William
Dean in the selection of a suitable
place for the new school. The
buildings formerly used were solo
to s. M. Donnell and John b
Lewis, and land for the new build
ing on Main street purchased from
the Albert G.. Lewis estate
School opened in the new build
ing in September 1886. 1t was di
