WE HAVE LIVED to see what was
he,iaved the impossible to happen in
Delaware. namely, legislation which
changes the method Of raising money
for maintaining the public schools.
From and after the present, all males
over the age of 81 years must pay not
loss than two dollars each and every
wear as a poll tax for the support OF
tbe nublic schools, regardless OF the
rate of taxation in the district in
which he may reside; and the
county assessment as made for levy
ing county taxes, shall be the basis
for levying the tax for any and all
school districts in the State of Della
ware. by which to raise money TO
conduct the public schools. The old
"rental value" system is thrown in
the discard absolutely forever and
fairness and justice in paying for
nphlic education applies to all the
people. This applies to the colored
schools as well as to the white
schools. other changes provide that
the clerks of the schooi districts
where they collect the local school
taxes. shall be bonded. For twenty
and more years the abolishing OF the
orental value" as a basis for getting
school taxes was shuttlecock Of
legislatures. but all the time it grew
in favor until the legislature just ad-
iourned wiped away this method
which has done much towards pre-
venting getting better schools for the
children of the present day. Now
let us get in line for making the
county the unit for all school man
agement-and especially for the rural
districts. Why should Delaware have
1900 school officials, when twenty-five
or less will do the work better and
more economically? All hail the
dawn of a new day in public school
education in Delaware.

THE MOTHERS pension law en-
acted by the legislature just adjourn
ed. gives to Delaware splendid
means to maintain that most sacred
of all institutions instituted for the
welfare of all mankind, and the safe
guarding of nations, THE HOME.
This law assures to the destitute
mother Of children sufficient money
for each child she may have of her
own flesh and blood, to maintain her
self and the children under one roof,
where she can care for their mental
and physical welfare, as well as their
moral training. This law is the di-
rect results Of the efforts Of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men, and sew
eral good women. who recognized the
great loss to any state by the de-
struction Of even one home, be 1t ev-
er so humble. The moral welfare
OF course is paramount Of import
ance, but the economic side of the
question is equally important to the
people at large. By maintaining the
mother and the children under one
roof. all the better results arising
from home are secured, and the
state or county is relieved from tbs
possible care Of children who will

IN PASSING a law which PROVIDES

hoard and transportation Of all the
teachers in the State of Delaware
,,bo attend the sessions of the sum-
mer schools, to be held at Newark
Delaware. for the white teachers, and
tho sessions at the State College for
colored Teachers, the legislature has
provided opportunity for training OF
teachers for the schools of Delaware
along lines which will bring better
education for the money expended oy
tho district in which these teachers
are employed. The lack of training
for pedagogical work is always eVl-
dent with teachers just starting IN
the work of public school teaching
unless they should have been stud
ents previously in normal schools OF
colleges where teachers training
courses were in vogue. This law will
nrovide better teachers. and also en-

IN FIXING the minimum salary
which any school district in Della
ware may pay for teaching in the
public schools, the legislature has
compelled recognition of the real SER
vice of school teachers to the dis
tricts in which they serve the peo-
pie. 1t is a protection of the child
rem against the cupidity of the men
who see only the dollar side of the
proposition, and who do not look to
the advantage of tine children who are
to be educated. These men probably
would be willing to act differently, If
they had a broader capacity to look
at the question of legislation and
methods of educating the children for
which they are responsible. but they
themselves lack education, and the
minimum salary they are permitted
to pay any teacher who is employed
70 teach in the public schools is
protection of the teacher, the child
rem and the community generally
From now on each school committed
