Extra Money Is Needed
COUNCIL WILL
CONSIDER INCREASE

City Council, meeting as commit
tee Of the whole last night, was visited
by delegation from the Delaware As
sociation of College Women, who
urged that the Board of Public Educa-
tons estimate for expenditures for
the next fiscal year be allowed. The
representatives of the association
presented figures in support of their
arguments and the representatives
were promised that the matter would
be given careful consideration By
Council.
The Board of Education has asked for
nearly 100000 more the coming year
than was allowed last year. Miss Mary
Mather. one of the delegation, said the
delegation was proud that the women of
Delaware had their own college and they
desired that the secondary schools KEEP
pace with the educational movement M
the State and bring TO higher plane
the public educational system
Miss Mather said they believe that il
the school assessment is not sufficient
to meet the needs, some plan should be
devised whereby money could be taker
from the other assessment. and she SAID
she would be willing TO pay more taxes
IL the additional money could be devoted
to the benefit of the school children.
Miss Mather voiced the willingness ol
the association which she represented tS
assist the city officials in any way pos
| sble in helping the schools and She
| spoke about the economies the house
keepers could practice in order TO hell
in the conservation of the citys re
sources that this saving might be ap
] piled TO the school system.
/ Miss Jeanette Eckman, another
| speaker. laid emphasis on the santa
tion and the janitor service saying
the ianitors are not paid enough 10
insure the best care and attention to
the school buildings. She quoted sta
tistics showing how far below other
cities Wilmington is in providing
money for its public schools.
Councilman Stover wanted to know
/ If the women are familiar with all
conditions in the public school sys
tom, and they said they thought they
are as they have given the subject spe-
cial attention. He asked if conditions
have not caused a lack Of confidence
in the management Of the schools. but
Miss Eckman replied that lack OF
confidence probably has aroused
greater interest in the matter.
Council will consider the matter al
a conference when the budgets Of th'
various city departments will be dis
cussed and acted upon
