County Treasurer by check upon th'
school money as deposited in the treasur,
for the public schools by the tax receiver
Delaware has suffered a waste, which j
a real loss Of money paid in tax to main
tain the schools, by the failure Of elsiidrer
to attend the schools provided for them
and the failure is in large measure tn,
result Of bad school buildings which are
either too small. or so utterly lacking in
means TO ventilate or heat them, that the
children are affected by small ailments
and so are detained from the schools. II
now takes eight years las the records
show for the children to get education
which the schools provide and they could
get in six years; and the cause for this
is largely the poor conditions ofthe school
buildings or the crowd d condition Of the
schools.
Our Delaware schools are better than
they were twenty five years ago; GER
tainly they are, but that is no reason Why
we should not have hea.thful conditions,
and get all that we pay for from our
schools. Now is the time for the people
to think this matter over, and be prepared
to resist the men who object TO any ex-
penditure of money which will pot bring
a grist to their individual pocket who
will make loud outcry against any change
in the school laws their only interest in
the matter, is, to keep from making any
change which might bring better results
for the schools and the children, because
Of the possibility of their having to pay
even one dollar more for their support. |
Of such men we have plenty, but no more
han will be found in any other State un-
Ter the the same conditions. All progress
means revolution in methods, and we
must be prepared to meet this by inform
ng ourselves with facts, and be able to
PRESENT them in contradiction, and argu-
nent for the betterment of the future of
he children and the home. After all, 4
hat is part Of the duties devolving upon
very citizen, and he or she is a success
r failure, just as these questions are
net or shirked. Let the schools be made
ealthful as well as educational mediums
Or all the people.

There are ten members Of the present
body now composing the Levy Court Of
Sussex County. which body will cease to
exist at January lst, 1917, and be sue
ceeded by three Commissioners, two Of
one political party and one OF another
political party, who will be elected at
the general elections to be held this
I coming fall. 1t is fact that the present
members of the Levy Court of Sussex
County are aspirauts for the position as a
County Commissioner. II is commenda-
bic for all men to have high aspirations,
but the men selected for these positions
must be men with sufficient training,
with mental ability, with business ac-
cumeu and with moral character to dis
charge the duties Of the position. It
must be held constant in mind, that the
man chosen must be capable Of handling
a business Of more than one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars each year. Not
one of the men now composing the Levy
Court of Sussex County, and now re-
ceiying three hundred dollars per year
as a salary, has ever had a responsibility |
even approximatting a fifth Of that
amount, and for that reason the people |
must become interested in the filing of
these three important Offices. Three
business men, three men with good COM
mon sense and with an experience in
business affairs of a wide scope, must be
elected to these places. Unless this is
is done. the hoped-for reform will fall,
aud the new condition will be no better
than the old. 1t is a well-known fact
that the efficiency of business any can
not and will not rise any higher than I
he men who are directing it. Sussex I
County had an experience in this line /
Fith the Comptrollership. It started out /
With one of the best business men Of /
sussex County as its head and installing I
# the sy stem, but by one Of the lack of d
of nominations by both [
'olitical parties, what was started on t
trict business lines, fell back to the e
rdinary line Of small country business. O
Gent County has been more fortunate in n

Yours OF 2lst inst received relative tc

| home, Milford | note you state your
/ banks are rather loathe to adopt it. This
narrowness on the part of your banks
| appears 10 me an affection of hook worm
and if YOU so desire you have my per-
mission to use my letter in the interest
of my old home community. In addition
to some of the advantages mentioned in
my letter, this Christmas Savings Fund
is a wonderful educational agency for
those unfamiliar with banking, but the
greatest good grows ont of encouraging
the habit of saving, especially among
children and the poorer working classes.
This, of course, means thrift. Every
one of my children, even INV little six
year-old grandchild, carries this Christ
mas Savings fund. Most of my em-
ployees and their children and, in fact, a
large percentage of the working people
of Salisbury have adopted this method
of laying aside something for the Christ
mas season.

its state of lethargy, / am

CHRISTMAS SAYING CLUBS.

In the neighboring town of Salisbury,
Md, the people of that town and vicini
ty, through the establishing of Christ
mas Savings Fund" received in the
month Of December last, nearly seventy
five thousand dollars as the result Of
their weekly deposits in the fund. The
plan is to deposit sum each week. and
the bank pays four per cent. interest on
the deposits at the end of the year with
the amount paid in. There are several
plans for these saving clubs to work
upon, and they have certainly been a
blessing to the people who have joined
in the efforts to save a real fund to be
used at the end of the year, for either
holiday purchases, or for charity. An
item published in the Chronicle of Dec
ember saith called forth the following
letter from Robert d. Grier, of Salisbury,
who was formerly a resident of Milford,
and who knows our people we'll Under
date of December 2sth he wrote as fol-
lows, viz

the banks of Laurel having just paid out
a little over gll 900 of the Holiday Club
Savings to the people of Laurel and sug-
gesting that it would be a good thing if
the Milford banks would start one for
1916 heartily agree with YOU in this |
and think it would be well If You would |
urge this move on the part of the banks |
of Milford. II has been thoroughly tried 4
out here in Salisbury and has proven to /
be one the greatest Christmas blessings 4
to the working people and children of
this community. This Christmas saving
fund was suggested 10 our banks four
years ago and only one the Farmer s and

to attempt 1t. The venture

big enough fool to do such thing don
blame the newspapers for taking his
money, for they may as well justify the

who has something to sell and has the
local agencies through which to sell it
can't keep out Of the newspapers.

A letter from man in New York City,
who owns real estate in Delaware, which
is published in another column Of the
Chronicle, voices a complaint that is
general wherever the old system is prac-
ticed in making the valuation of real
estate for taxation purposes. In this
particular case, it is a rebellion against
the system in Kent County, Which should
have been abolished at the last session
of the legislature, but the people must
suffer the systems, many injustices and
loss even to the county, through its
operations. The only redress the tax
payer Of Kent County has now after he
has discovered that his property is as
sessed at rate far above that of his
neighbor, or of similar property in other
parts of the county, is to pay the tax
levied to the collector for that particular
district, and then make a plea to the
Levy Court in sessions at Dover, to have
rebate allowed for such assessment; and
it is at this point the county becomes a
loser. The assessor collects the tax and
the county pays him his eight per cent
upon it, and then, repays
the amount Of the principle allowed as a
rebate upon the tax wherever such trans
actions take place. Kent county should
have a receiver of taxes and Board Of |
Assessment, and the positions should be
illed by the best men in the county. !
rhis would be the first steps towards
.etting better service than we now have.
