Gated by Dr.. Wagner APP
proved at Meeting
MRS. R. P. ROBINSON
LEADS DISCUSSION

The proposed amendments TO the
State rural school law, which will be
taken before the Legislature in Janu-
ary' were discussed last night by
members OF the various oranges of
New Castle county. and taxpayers OF
the county. The meeting was called
by State Lecturer Mrs. Robert p. Rob.
inson, and was held at Newport. under
the auspices OF Delaware Grange.
Considering the stormy weather. the
meeting was well attended and much
interest was manifested in the dis
cussion.
Robert P. Robinson OF Delaware
Grange, was elected chairman of the
meeting and George L. Medill of West
brandywine Grange, secretary. Rem
resentatives OF tho various oranges
had been invited and many attended
as we'll as number of other taxpay-
ers OF the county. Special invitations
had been issued to those who were
thought by the grangers TO be particu-
iarly interested ia the matter.
The matter was discussed by Har-
Ney Il. Gregg. OF Newport; Or. John
Ball. OF Elsmere: Robert p. Robinson.
OF Newport; Frederick Brady. a mem.
Der OF the State school board; and Ar
thur {. Smedley, of Brandywlne hun
dred. The discussion was led by the
lecturer, Mrs. Robinson.
A resolution was unanimously pass-
ed by the grangers approving practi-
caily all of the proposed changes to
the school laws.
The changes proposed are of great
Importance. II is desired to collect
the taxes on the real value OF the
school property, while at present
taxes are computed upon the rental
value. In order TO keep a record OF
all students of the rural schools, so
that when they leave one school and
go to another. their records will fol.

yooated In the proposed amendments.

commissioner, is greatly hand capped

sired 70 be remedied He has no
permanent Office in Dover, having 70
move from one quarter to another at

for him is sought. His filing cases
are merely packing cases, and the

all over the state are following the
lead of Editor w. A. Russell, of the
Palatka News, in commemorating the
anniversary of the birth of one of the
greatest men who ever penned an edi-
toria1 in the state of Florida.
Frank L. Mayes, editor and. publisher
of the Pensacola Journal up to the
time of his death, nearly two years ago.
was another true American who "died
too young" He passed away at the age
of As, early in the year of 1914, after
a very brief illness, and his passing
was received as a bitter shock. because
all Florida knew that the state was
losing the valuable services OF one or
it's greatest and best builders. Frank
L. Mayes died when he was reaching
the zenith of his well-rounded career
as an editor, builder and power for
good, both state and nationally. No
man stood in higher regard among his
brethren of the press and it is with a
distinct feeling of sorrow that mis- pass
ing is recalled on his birthday ami
versary. Today, the state over, the
memory Of the gone-but mot t-forgotten
editor will be commemorated in In
