FORMER GIRLS School
is OFFERED FOR sale

An effort is being made by the
board of managers of the Delaware
Industrial School for Girls to sell the
old property on the corner of Twenty
fifth and Market streets. Since the
school moved into its new quarters
at Claymont, the board has been en-
deavoring to dispose of the old prop
erty. Up TO the present time, how
ever. It has not been able to secure
the price for it that it wanted which
is $4,000.
The building, which contains thirty
single rooms. four baths and large re-
ception, living and diningrooms, takes
up an entire city block and il has
been suggested that it would make a
splendid apartment house.
Owing to the scarcity of funds
which the managers of the school now
have confronting them since the with
drawal Of the State appropriation last
year, they hope that a sale will be
effected soon, as the money is badly
needed.

DUsT.LADEN HIGH SCHOOL CORRIDORS.


XXTHLE the City Board OF Health investigating the
w sanitary condition of public schools and for
muang remedies for the defects therein should not
lose sight Of fact that the corridors and sarways
in the Wilmington High School swept while the
school is IA session. That sanitary abuse that is
fostered b. the Baynard Cooper-Janitor combination
that rules in the High School building.
1t is notorious fact that pupils transfer to classes
while the sweeping is going They walk over piles
OF dust-aden sawdust and through dust-aden atmos-
phere Our health conseryators also should keep in
mind the fact that very the High school windows
will be wedged and the pupils and their teachers will
be sewed in their clothes, hguratively like the chill
dren Of the tenemens they get no outside air as
long there is a furnace fire.
From September to June all the High School rooms
swept with the windows closed II a teacher leaves
windows open, they closed before sweeping be-
gins.
II also is notorious fact that the common drinking
still bangles from its chain In the High School and
that the number of towels allowed by the janitorial
boss of the institution for the use OF those who work
in the manual training shops is inadequate
The sweeping abuse, however Is the most serious
menace to health in this maladminstered school In
short, il is frightful example of poor housekeeping
that should bring protests from all parents who have

Venustiano Carranza has been rec
ognized as chief executive Of the de
facto government of Mexico by the
United States and six important ma
tions OF this hemisphere. Other ma
tions, including those OF Europe. are
expected to recognize Carranza With
out delay.
Francisco villa. the only formid
able opponent Of the new government
in Mexico, has been driven into So
nora. He holds portion Of that state
and a portion of Chihuahua. Guaymas,
the only seaport in villa territory, has
been seized by Carranza. An embargo
upon arms intended for Villa Will
mean that the insurgent leader must
rely upon the resources Of the coun-
try and possible victories over Car
rama for his supply of war material.
The resources of the country are all
nil, and Carranza's forces are so we'll
handled that there is little prospect
of defeat at the hands of villa. Conse-
quently Villas followers are leaving
him to some extent, and now that rec
ognition has become fact IL is likely
that these defectiOns will increase and
result in the disappearance OF Villas
organization as a national force. Ia
pata. too. has received some hard
knocks recently, having been driven
out OF Toluca and forced back toward
Morelos. He is likely to remain on
the warpath longer than villa, but he
will be forced TO coniine his activities
to a small area. Mexico as a nation
probably will soon be able to ignore
him.

test will be bitter between Fisher

large political following. 1t is dit-
ficult to reckon, however, as both
have lost prestige during the past
few years. Fisher will have to con-

Andrew l.. Fisher, x-Representative
and prominent worker in the Eastern

The meeting was held at the home
of J. Wilkins Cooch. Politically,
Senator Salisbury had delicate sit

probably does not exist IN the State.

Both Mr.. McMullin and Mr. Hos

Carranzas greatest danger now is

rangements must be made to purify
and stabilize the money of the coun-

the debts that have accumulated.
Along with this problem is the deli
cate task of reconciling the passion

amnesty without permitting new con-
spiracies to hatch inside the govern

must be erected or begun which shall

saw a great crowd of colored people
in Salisbury. Hundreds of colored
school children paraded the streets,
a most creditable industrial parade
was given and the day was one in

people. but also by the white element

with us and it is our duty to help
them, commercially and industrially,

itself The negro is part OF the
white mans burden. He must be
educated and taught the trades and
he must be shown the proper way OF
living. Such gatherings as we have
had in Salisbury this week. where

one OF the most important tasks that conronts the Car

that he is in favor of equitable satisfactory set

The United States Government perhaps will do every
thing within to assist in that work and it is
limited in Washington that the American claims will
not be urged until Carranza and his advisers had
time TO settle with the other nations along lines adop-

that Mexico may seek a loan Of from $10OOOOO00 to
