FELTON,.

There will be large sale of property
in FELTON, tomorrow, Saturday afternoon,
when the trustee. Arley Mcgee, Esq, Of
Dover, will sell the real estate of VIII
liam E. Killen at public sale. This has
been advertised rather extensively and
will draw a crowd.
Everybody is getting automobiles who
possibly can in and around FELTON,. The
latest purchasers are the butchers, each
of whom have purchased automobile de-
( livery wagons.
The public schools of FELTON, start the
fall school season with excellent corps of
teachers. Many children who expected
to get into the FELTON, Public Schools
from the rural schools under the state
law which provided for payment from
the State Treasury for those who entered
the High School Department, were dis
appointed in not being able to pass the
examinations, which has to be done now
before they can enter the town schools,
at the expense of the State. This is a
disappointment TO the children, but it is !
a greater disappointment to the parents |
of these pupils; for they thought that |
rural schools were educating their child /
ren in the lower grades, as fast as were 4
the children in the town schools in the .
same grades, and this is the first realiza-
ton that they have only been getting
just what they have paid for in the sin
gle district, a lot of poor educational
work. Its too bad that such conditions
have grown up; but, the towns must not
be expected to maintain good schools for
the country children to attend free of
cost to them, while the single district
school just pinches along on the small
est amount of cost possible for running
that kind of a school. 1t is an eye
opener for the people in the country
districts.
