FIRST 1915 WARNING
AGAINST FLY NUISANCE
Health Department Calls Attention
of Property Owners to Maintain
ing Sanitary Conditions.

the 1915 season was issued today by
the health department.
Every spring the department calls
attention of property owners to the inn
portance of maintaining sanitary con-
ditions In order that breeding places
OF the NY may be reduced.
An early attack on the fly through
the adoption of preventive measures
VIII serve to reduce greatly the size
OF the insect population during no;
weather and thereby reduce the danger
from typhoid fever and other diseases
which the fly is active in disseminate
ing.
Special attention is directed by the
department this year to the danger OF
filthy stables. which are the largest
fly hatcheries. In its bulletin the de.
partment says:
Stables Afford Breeding Places.
THE heated season is approaching
and with 1t will come the fly. Knowing
as we do the filthy habits and the
danger from infectious germs left in
the trail of the house fly. 1t would be
well for each of us to begin now and
examine our premises to see if there
exist conditions that would afford
breeding places for this insect The
neglected stable affords a splendid
breeding place, therefore the owners
and occupants should make careful eX.
animation of their stables and imme
diately correct any defect or insani
tary condition found that would give

BE Considered
State Board of Education
Receives Three Petitions
on Subject
DISCUSS STATE
AID FOR TEACHERS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, May 19.-Three petit
tions to the State Board of Education
have been made to investigate the
feasibility Of consolidation, in accord
ance with the act of the last General
Assembly. A preliminary investiga-
ton has been ordered in each case
and a special committee on consolid-
alton Of schools has been appointed,
consisting of Professor Harry Hay
ward. Henry Ridgely and Albert
Worth.
The committee on State aid to pu-
pills preparing to teach, was instruct
ed to prepare and report a plan of
temporary assistance to all such stu
dents as have begun a course and
now find State aid discontinued.
Because the quota of nonresident
pupils for each county was left at
$50. the State Board of Education
has adopted the following regulations
in the expectation that the number
next term may be kept within the
quota. Last term the excess was 1873

paid by the State in an approved
high school must have completed all
the grades OF his home school as a
resident pupil before he can be ad-
mitted to another high school as a

sustain himself as satisfactory stu
dent in studies and department, or
payment of tuition Will be discon-
tinued for him.

high schools shall be permitted only t'

schoo) has been satisfactorily com
pleted. To meet this requirement ex
aminations of pupils who wish TO atten,
high schools in towns will be arranged
and conducted by the county superin
tendents before the opening of schools
| in the fall at one or more places IL
each county, as may be needed 10 ac
commodate the pupils. This provision
for the admission Of seventh grade
pupils TO town schools does not excuse
rural teachers and commissioners from
providing classes and work for seventh
and eighth grade pupils in their schools.
"Any refusal of teacher or Of com
missioners to provide for and conduct
these grades, brought TO the notice o.
the county superintendent OF of TN

the loss of the State dividend to the dis
trict so refusing, if request be made TO
