CROWDED CONDITIONS
AT COLORED SCHOOL
Addition To Building Needed
Badly

Crowded conditions are reported
at the colored school, which open
ed about two weeks ago. Ninety-slx
pupils are enrolled, under the di-
rection of two teachers, Miss A. r.
Davis, and Miss c. l.. Waddleton.
The teachers report that they are
greatly handicapped in their
work by the failure of the district
to accept the offer of 1925 from the
county commissioners, on the con-
dition that they would raise a
like sum, and thus provide the
much-needed addition to the school
building. The Newark school has
been pronounced repeatedly dur
ing the last year, by Superinten,
dent Cross, the best colored schoo
under his jurisdiction. A desire
to live up to this reputation shoult
stir the colored population to
strenuous campaign to relieve con
ditions.
Miss Alice Harris, a gradual
of Washington Normal School, ha
been substituting since Octobe
fourth, for Miss Davis, who ha
been i'll at her home in Washing
ton. Miss Davis will resume he
duties on Monday.

DOCTORS FIND
SEAT OF INFECTION
Experiment AS To Method Of
Transmission


Having established the infect
ious character of poliomyelitis, or
infantile paralysis, the patholog-
ical department of Johns Hopkins
Hospital is trying to ascertain
how the germ is transmitted. 1t
has been definitely ascertained
that the seat of infection is in the
larger intestine, and that the germ
is taken into the system by the
mouth, this discovery being credit
ed to DR.. H. T. Burrows.
Transmission of the disease is
to be attempted through monkeys,
Rabbits have been used in the last
two months, and the inoculations
have been found to develop par
alysis symptoms almost identlca
with those in the human being.
DR.. Hampel has theory thai
candy, ice cream, fruit, and othel
uncooked foods that children eat
are primarily responsible TO
bringing the germ into the system
That theory will be fully teste'
when the physicians have complet
ed their transmission experiments

other citizens of Newark share his
apprehensions Surely if the sit

there is no reason for doubt on
that score, the responsible citizens
of Newark should follow up his
advice and wake up"
1t appears that the Board OF
Health has been strenuously try

the town, but there are obstruc-
tionists who want to let things stay
as they are rather than meet the
additional expense which SANTA

question primarily concerns New
ark, but, of course, the people OF
Wilmington have an interest in it,
if for no other reason from the
fact that many Wilmington boys
attend Delaware College and their
health is in danger. But even II

which follows:
Editor Wilmington Morning N Ws:
Sir-Large numbers OF the peo-
ole of Newark, Del, in terror lest
they fall victims to typhoid fever,
have had no means of safeguard
ing their health save by letting
themselves endure the discomfort,
and oftentimes illness, resulting
from incubation. A few property
owners who care more for their
nocketbooks than for the health OF
their neighbors and of themselves,
have thus terrorized the town by
onposing the effort of the Board
of Health to have the cause OF the
recent typhoid epidemic removed.
Will something be done before
next summer, or will affairs be al
lowed to drift on until, with the
return of hot weather, more pre-
ventable deaths shall have occur
