COLLEGE WORK
WELL UNDER WAY

II. Rodney Sharp, chairman Of
the development committee of the
trustees of Delaware College. with
Mr., hlaucer Of the firm of Day &
klauder, of Philadelphia, super,
vising architects for the college,
and two engineers connected with
the architects office, spent the
greatest part of a day, the latter
part of last week, in Newark. 60

proEement plans. One of the most
important problems that confront
the college authorities at this lime

at the head of all the sciences
and crts. at the head of clvlllza-
ton and progress, stands-not
militarism, the science that kills,
nor commerce, the science that
accumulates wealth-but agrlcu!-
ture, the mother of all industry
and the maintainer Of human
life"
That agriculture will be develop
ed throughout the United States
lust as community centers are de-
veloped and that when the two
are separated the fabric centers
are developed and that when the
two are separated the fabric or
rural life will be torn down, is the
belief of Prof. G. l. Christie, sup
erintendent agricultural extern
sion work, Purdue University,
who. in talking before the conven-
ton of the National Fertilizer AS
sociation recently, used the above
statement regarding agriculture
bv President Garfield as his text.
DO you think that we can de-
velop the country districts OF In
diana, or any other state, II we
DESTROY the rural towns? The
country storekeeper is there be-
cause they wanted him. Then tneY
found they needed blacksmith
shops. men TO handle machinery
. center whore they could get
work done. 1t was the farmer
himself who wanted the local cen
ter and he is the man that brought
it there.
I'VE are convinced that there Is
enough information in our de-
nartments of agriculture and eN-
stations if taken out
and applied on the farms to dou-
BILE the production of this couh-
try. to make the land bloom Ike i
rose. to give us the foodstutfs that
will feed our increased millions
of people in an adequate way.
The country agent Offers med
ium through which this work can
be accomplished" added Profess
sor Christie. 1T is readily seen
that the educational field is large
and that there is plenty for the
county agents to do. Again, this
work is directly helpful and pro-
ftable to all classes. Since coun-
tv agents in most cases are sup
rorted. in part at least, by public

DEIAWARE'S EDU-
CATIONAL STATUS
Recently Revealed In Cold
Figures

DR.. Charles A. Wagner, the
State Commissioner OF Education
has called attention to the report
of the Sage Foundation on the
comparative study Of the pubEc
school system in the forty-elght
states. the showing of this state IS
not fiattering to Delawareans. Inc
hest the state does is in the record
Of the number of days the schools
are open and Delaware STANDS
eleventh.
In the percentage of attendance
Delaware is forty-third and IN the
enrolment of pupils thirty-eightn.
In the amount per sl.00 OF wealth
extended for schools, Delaware Is
thirty-seventh with an average
ner child of % cents. In Okla
homa which stands first the aver
age spent per child is IS cents"
vast difference between the TWO
states. And so on with the other
items. Our only creditable snow
ing. as we have said, is IN the
length of the school term. The re
mort of the foundation is an edn-
cational survey expressed IN hg-
ures more potent than words.
Summed up it tells the story OF
the work that must be done TO
make our school system what 1t
should be. Commissioner Wag-
ner and others have courageouslE
undertaken this task. They are
making progress and they should
he encouraged. Legislation Is
needed and now is the time to pre-
pare for it.
Perhaps the most striking thing
about it all is the need disclosed
for money for operating the
schools. How this pecunlary aid
is to be secured is the question
If our schools are to be elevated
better provision should be made
for their pecuniary support. inns
can be obtained only when par
ents and others fully appreciate
the value of the school system
what it means to them ana 10
their children. This work OF IN
struction among parents is being
carried on with vigor in all parts
of the state, and the people are
responsive, but the campaign =
difficult.
There is, however, no sound
reason why Delaware should rank
so low. forty-third, in the percent
age of attendance. Lack of sutfi-
Gent revenue for the schools does
not primarily enter into the mat
ter of attendance. Neither does
any question or failure of oppor-

tunity for pupils to attend If
parents generally grasped what a
public school education means,
Delaware would not rank forty
third in the percentage, and 20
per cent of the children would not
be listed as lin no schools" The
Delaware campaign for better
schools embraces therefore not
only an Improvement in the school
machinery, but bringing home
to parents the value of a public
school education for their chill
dren.
This point is too frequently
overlooked even by those who keep
in touch with educational matters.
Much interest may be aroused ir
a call for more money, and for
better schools. There is complaint
about the school buildings not be-
ing properly equipped, about the
failure of the teachers to be we'll
paid, but infrequently is there a
look below the surface to ascer-
tain just what use is being made
by parents of the facilities that
the state is now offering to her
children.
In this competition we may say
that Commissioner Wagner has
been alert. Time and again he
has referred to the question of at.
tendance and the refusal of par.
ents to embrace the opportuni.
ties afforded by the present school,

be. If the element in our popula.

other has ignored the presen,

the error in this, Delaware should
rank much higher than it does ir

One thing can be said to the
credit of the present Carroll Coun-
ty stock law, the farmers, especially
those who have respected the law,
have plenty of good meat for a
years eating. Some of the best
meat in the history of the county
has been killed this winter. The
farmers are giving more attention
to hogs and cattle and at the pres
emit rate we will soon be shipping
out more meat than is shipped in,
a thing that ought to be done every
Carroll County Democrat.
