With the financial help of the Ma
tional Bureau of Education, the
National Municipal League and of
Governor Miller, this course is
now available for every child in
the public schools of the State.
Wilmington is proud not only of
having done the pioneer work in
this important field in Delaware,
but also of Superintendent Scott's
part in securing the extension of
civics instruction throughout the
city and state systems by solicit
ing help from the Bureau of Edu-
cation toward that end. A number
Of graduates of the civics depart
ment of the Wilmington High
School are now teaching in the
county schools, and wherever these
young women are to be found DR..
Dunno will find it an easy matter
to start the course he projects.
With so many failures at tn ebe-
ginning of the new year, it is ex-
tremely gratifying to Superinten-
dent Scott to know that nothing is
to interfere with his ambition and
plans for the extension of citizen
ship training into the schools in
which he is especially interested
and widely over the entire State

goes to make up their social well
fare. To make children sensitive
to governmental control through
an understanding of the meaning
of government is one Of the pri-
mary objects Of community civics.
DR.. Dunno will meet the Whining
ton teachers and those in the rural
schools in groups and inaugurate
the movement. Wherever possible
teachers with special aptitude and
interest for the work will be sell
ected. There will be public meet
ings at which the teachers and
patrons of the schools will be
asked to hear DR.. Dunno discuss
the possibilities and future of the
work in Delaware. 1t is expected
that one of these meetings will be
held under the auspices of the
Civics Alumni Association of the
Wilmington High School.
In the lower grades no text
books will be used. The teachers
will make civics one of the Vita
school subjects and correlate it in
as many ways as possible with
every other subject in the curric
ulum. DR.. Dunno has already
conducted the course he proposes
to introduce here in the schools OF

Rural Schools
And The State

Before children from the rural
district schools can enter the
graded schools in the towns, under
a new law they must pass eXamin-
atiors prescribed by the State
Board of Education. According
to the Milford Chronicle, of the 49
children in Kent county who have
just taken this examination only
eleven passed with an average of
seventy-nine. If the passing point
had been lowered to seventy only
six more children would have been
added to the list of eligibles.
The State pays twenty cents
day for each day of attendance for
the rural children at the town
schools. Under this system the
people of the rural districts have
been relieved of the additional
expense of providing for the in
struction of their children in the
town schools.
Formerly no examinations were
required. But under the new law
the State has a protection. Rural
children may go to the town
schools and be beneficiaries of the
bounty of the state, but they must
pass examinations showing that
they are qualified to receive such
instruction. Under the old method
it can be readily seen that there
was little incentive to keep the
standard Of the rural schools as
high as they should be. In fact,
according to the Chronicle, many
of the taxpayers in the rural dis
tricts did not seem to care what
sort of standard was maintained
in the country schools. They
could shift the advanced educ alton
of their children upon the shoul-
ders of an all too willing State. 1t
was an easy process by which
these rural taxpayers were reliev-
ed of the burdens of taxation that
they should carry.
The examinations have disclosed
as the Chronicle points out, the
low standard in the rural school
system. They have merely con-
frmed what has long been known
by those who have kept informed
concerning the rural schools. 1t
is short-sighted policy, we think,
this neglect of the rural schools.
Newark post., 1915-09-08

makes no laws or anything to ben
eft the land. The lessons they
are never learned-no use to ques-
ton why; the chores are left un-
finished in the Land of By-and-By.
And if YOU put things off and
say you'll do them pretty soon,
and shirk your tasks from day to
day, perhaps some afternoon
they'll take YOU off to this bad
land-no friend will heed your
cry-and there is no Tomorrow in
the Land of By-and-By.
Newark post., 1915-09-08

If parents in the rural districts
had the welfare of their children
at heart, as they should have re-
garding their education, they
would want the country schools to
be much better, even if the educa-
tion of the children should cease
when they left the country schools
