SUSSEX co. SCHOOL
ELECTIONS TOMORROW.

The annual school elections will be
held in Sussex County tomorrow
Saturday, June Both, at the various
school houses in this county, to tran
sact the business necessary and elect
the commissioners who are to serve
for the year next ensuing. In the
towns where the schools are Operat-
ing under special acts of incorpora-
tion, the law for such special cases
will apply, but in all rural and unin-
corporated schools the laws and reg
ulations of the State govern. If only
one individual, be it a man or a wO-
man, be a legal voter of the district,
should be present tomorrow, that in
dividual can, and has the absolutely
legal right to cast his or her vote for
whomsoever they may chose, and vote
whatever amount of money they may
think is necessary to conduct the
school for another year, and that vote
is as effective as it would be if every
voter in the district were present and
voted favorably to the same purpose.
The school elections will be held be-
tween the hour of two and four in the
afternoon, and as the new system of
assessment will be in effect for next |
school year, it will be necessary for
each district to elect only such men
or women as are capable of transact
ing business in a business way. The
stubborn, nOn-progressive and ignor-
ant man or woman, is not only incap-
able of transacting school business
under the new laws, but will certain
ly get the district into trouble with
the State Auditor and show them
selves up to their neighborhood for
the incompetent obstructionist they
really are; such people are trouble
makers for any district Good peo-
pie are in every district, and they
must serve the children by helping
them to the best there is to be had
in public schools and education. At
tend the school elections tomorrow,
and start right.

THE PEOPLE of Delaware have
been splendid in their response to the
call Of their country for aid in sub
scFipti0ps 20 the Red Cross and for
the Liberty Bond loan, and it shows
that the apparent evidence of lack
of patriotic spirit is largely the re-
suit of lack OF earnest effort on the
part of those who know the cOndi-
tions, but fail to aggressively pre-
sent them to the consideration of all
the people. One million dollars and
more of money from the people of
Delaware. for charity and relief work
in suffering. is a tribute of which any
state may be proud. When a total of
five dollars for each man, woman and
child in the entire state is given for
charity-not investment--the people
have patriotic fire blazing in every
breast. 1t is a duty for each and all
to give for the relief of suffering, and
for duty performed no especial praise
is needed, but when to the proportion
which should be given as a duty is so
far exceeded, as have the people of
Delaware exceeded by subscribing for
the Red Cross, then full praise is de-
served and must be accorded. Della
ware is all right when it comes to
patriotic efforts. and the men and wo-
men who have led the effort to ac-
complish this result are true Della
wareans. Thanks be to God that we
have so many Of them in the leading
work when Delaware is called to the
assistance of the country.
