Examination Of Field Seed.

Under the new law samples of field
seeds have been gathered from some of
the Delaware seedsmen and have been
examined for purity and termination.
Generally speaking the seeds are up to
standard in purity, but there are few
exceptions, some of them containing
seeds of fodder, parasitic plant, and
other seeds of plantain which is a-bad
weed. In termination the results were
not quite so good. Farmers should
send samples of the seed that they buy
to the State Board of Agriculture,
Dover, for examination, especially
crimson clover seed, as 1t is reported by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture that there is good deal of poor
crimson clover seed on the market.

OUR TOWN POLICE OFFICERS

Middletown is justly proud of its fine
appearing, active and courageous Gus
tOdiOns of the peace, who are giving
the community ample protection, and
keeping the streets and sidewalks open
on congested Saturday nights and do
ing it all with little or no friction.
With the exception of that Maryland
imported row some months ago, nothing
in the nature of a public fight, or
brawl even, has occurred since Chief
Hilyard and his able assistants, 1t
Albert Ripple and officers, Ross Ham
burg and Frederick Jones have been in
charge. Good order everywhere pre-
walls, these officers using their functions
so good naturedly, and fairly. and en-
ploying tact and common sense instead
of mere brute force. Sidewalks are
kept clear. too, without arousing the
old time anger and illwill of some of the
colored people.
The citizens ought to appreciate their
services for theirs is hard task, at its
best filled with unpleasantness and
danger. Several of these officers have
heen cut and struck with deadly missiles
such as sling shots and brickbats. When
arresting drunken man, Or some des-
perate ruffian, the officer never knows
when or where the party or some friend
of his is going to use pistol or knife.
The other evening when Chief Hill
yard arrested noisy drunken man on
Main street, young colored woman
was heard by several citizens to declare
that eff it was her friend she'd shoot
the policeman.
But these police of ours don't hesitate
an instant, danger or no danger, but
promptly ''sail in" whenever any
breach of public good order calls for
their action, with the pleasing result
that the frequent riots and disturbances
of the peace, so common in some of the
towns south of US, are of rare occur
ence in our town, even when on Satur-
day evening there is sometimes a float
ing population of about 1900 on the
streets, some of them toughs from
other places.
1t was happy innovation to have a |
colored policeman added to the force,
for it has allayed much, if not all, of |
the former racial bitterness. Fred /
Jones, the eolored officer, is popular
with his own race. altho promptly and

To appreciate this fully one has only to
recall some of the shameful actions of
number of our officers brought in from
abroad. The Transcript takes pleasure
in expressing thus fully its entire ap-
probation Of the really excellent work
of these officers who are as body of
men, in every respect credit to them
selves and to our town.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Apply The State Dividends To
Encourage Attendance
OUR ONE-TEACHER SCHOOLS

The improvement of public schools
according to tables or lists of standard
requirements has made much headWay
in some states. Imminence of consoli-
dation is not a sufficient reason for not
making our one-teacher schools as good
as they may be during such years as
must elapse before we can consolidate.
Therefore, lists of requirements as to
sanitary equipment and conditions, as
to lighting, heating and ventilating, as
to attendance, teachers salaries and
| other matters, will be prepared, and
the conditions of each school will be
measured according to this list of STAN
dard requirements. Schools where con-
ditiens satisfy the requirements will be
denOminated Standard, and will be put
into class to receive extra or addi-
tional State Appropriation, and will
continue to receive such extra appropri-
alton as long as conditions it? He is
not coming again" This is an attitude
easily assumed under the circumstances.
Schools not admitted to the Standard
list on the first comparison will be given
the requirements and also to get into
the class to receive the extra appropria-
ton.
The State School Dividend is at pres
ent given to a School District if it en-
ploys teacher, has school approved
by the County School Commission,
keeps the school open 40 days in the
term, and raises at least $1OO by taxa
tion. In many cases, the states divi-
dend is larger than the amount of money
raised by the district. This shows the
states anxiety to give the child good
chance to get an education In many
districts, however, the children get to
school but little more than half of the
time. Thus the children do not get
what the state and community are pay
ing for. Therefore, a part of the states
dividend should be based on the percent
age of attendance of the children.
Suppose the states dividend were ap-
portioned, one half for the purposes
named above, and the other half on per-
centage of attendance made by the
children of the school, so that the school
should receive of this half of the appro-
priation such proportion or percentage
as was It's percentage of attendance the
previous term. Then if a school made
but so per cent. of attendance, it would
receive but so per cent of that half Of
the dividend. Thus, every day child
is out of school, the district is losing
what the state pays toward his educa-
ton. This would make every resident
and taxpayer of district take an in
terest in the children's attendance, and
every time child was seen out of
school it would be realized that every
taxpayer is suffering a money loss for
next year. A number of states appor-
ton their appropriation partly on this
basis. If men are justified in demand
ing what they pay for at the store and
in the mill, why shall not the state
stand on the same principle?
CHARLES A. WAGNER,
Secretary of the State Board of Educa-
ton.
