College Acquiring More Land

The following article appeared
in the Wilmington papers. Further
than what is said here, nothing de-
finite has been given out by Col
lege authorities.
At meeting of special COM
mittee of trustees of Delaware
College to arrange a comprehen-
sive plan for expansion of the in
stitution looking fifty years ahead,
held at the Hotel dupont this
Monday morning, options were
taken up on considerable property
between Delaware College, and the
Woman's College of Delaware, at
Newark.
Other options on certain proper
ty desired in the comprehensive
plan were not taken up, and it is
a question whether they will be be-
cause of the high prices asked for
certain tracts. 1--WE are unde-
cided whether to take up the other
options at ALL" explained a man
who attended the meeting. He
said the prices asked were consid,
cred too high on the sites not
taken today. Altogether the com
mittee had options on thirty-five
pieces of property.
Just how many properties the
committee today decided to pur
chase is not announced, but it was
stated that those taken up today
will form a continuous stretch
from Delaware College to thu
Women's College along the Depo
Road. The properties on which
the options were not taken up als'
were not announced by the com
mittee. Neither was the amoun
involved in the purchases decided
on today announced by the com
mittee, but it is understood t.
nave been considerable.
Some of the options taken up to
day would have expired mex
month, and others would have ex
pired in June. AS satisfactor,
agreements had been reached a
to prices, and as they compris
properties that can be utilized il
the comprehensive enlargement
scheme, even if no other proper
ties are secured, the committee de
cided to purchase them today. A

Heated Controversy
Concerning the Schools
ARTICLE COMMENDED AND CONDEMNED
COMMITTEE ANSWERS CRITICISM

At the request of number of
our readers, including a member
of the teaching staff, of the schools
we reprint the following article
from the Every Evening of Satur-
day, April II. 1t is understood
the majority of the teachers are
unfavorable to the article.
A spirited contest is looked for
at the school election next Satur-
day, when a successor to Rev. DR..
Joel S. Gilfillan, secretary and
treasurer of the Board of Educa-
tion for six years, will be chosen.
The New Century Club is under
stood to be much interested in this
election and Professor Firman
Thompson, who has announced his
candidacy, is looked on as favor
able to the New Century Club and
their friends. DR.. Gilfillan also
has filed his name for reelection
While there has been no open
conflict, signs of breakers ahead
have been in evidence for some
weeks, and this election will prob
ably settle the matter one way or
the other. About year ago it was
suggested by some members Of the
New Century Club that women
should be in the Board of Educa-
ton. Counsel was consulted by
the board and gave the opinion
that a woman could not be legally
elected to membership. Then the
board members informed the New
Century Club they would be glaC
to have a committee from the club
to advise them on school affairs
The club appointed committee OF
three, all wives of professors OF
Delaware College, and this com
mittee has met with the board from
time to time. While they had M
vote, they made suggestions of i'm

SAN DIEGO. Cal. aMrch H.
This is no longer a 'one-man

For the first time in many

Application for an injunction

But in that one suit, so vigor-

interests in California.
All eyes were upon Superior
Judge Sloane. His decision is be-

City Attorney Cosgrove has rec
commended an appeal to the SUI

failed to proceed further.
In summing up his decision,
Judge Sloane said
Until the city has by or
