(Communioated)
RURAL SCHOOLS OF SUSSEX co.

Mr.. Editor: Please allow me space
in your paper to write a short letter
along the lines of our Rural Schools
I in Sussex County. In doing this !
do not refer to those of Kent and New
Castle Counties, but those Of Sussex.
If the members OF the State Board
OF Education would kindly reconsider
their ruling, which requires the Rural
Schools to open on September 9, 1918,
instead of the first Monday in October,
1918, they would confer a great favor
upon the farmers OF Sussex County
II the members Of the County Board
view the ruling from the same stand
point that the farmers do. they would
readily change the date Of the opening
Of the schools to October Z. 1918.
About 80 years ago the legislature
passed a law which required all the
rural schools OF this state to open on
the first Monday in October of each
year. This is the most convenient
time for the farmers TO spare their
children, for it brings the scholastic
year, or term. between the two busy
seasons-the tomato and strawberry
crops.
There are one hundred and thirty
rural schools in Sussex county, and
each school will average fifteen child
rem that are large enough to help in
the tomato and fodder crops. Each
child will be worth 81 90 a day to his
or her parents, and one thousand, nine
hundred and fifty, the number in the
county, will be worth $4,000 for the
twenty days in September and Octo-
ber.
The State Board of Education may
argue that the places of the school
children might be substituted All l
ask Of them is to take a farm and try
it, and that will demonstrate the scar
city of help.
What these children fail to do can
not be done, and the crops, in some
instances, will have TO go to waste.
The demands for labor and the high
prices paid for it have no equal upon
the pages Of history.
The farmers must either keep their
children at home during September 10
save their crops, and thus make a
useless sacrifice of their school mon
ey, or let their crops go to waste and
send their children to school. BY
opening the schools on October 7th
will not shorten the term a single day
The teachers can get work in the
tomato factories as bookkeepers, and
receive nearly as mach as in the
school room, and their help will be a
great benefit to the canneries OF Sus-
sex county. For many years some of
the teachers of Milton have kept
books for the tomato factories.
l believe if it were put to a rising
vote for the rural schools of Sussex
county to open on October Z. 1918.
that 80 per cent, if not 100 per cent,
)f the farmers in said county would
rise simultaneously and vote unani-
nously for the above date.
/ would like TO hear through your
paper from Mr.. Spaid, Secretary Of
he Board.

CHURCH QUITS GERMAN
Only English in Oldest Lutheran Con-
ureuation West of Susquehanna.


York. Pa, March S.-The council of
Christ Lutheran church has decided
to suspend the services in the Ger
man language.
For the last 100 years German and
English services have been conduct
ed in this church, which is the oldest
Lutheran congregation west OF the
Susquehanna river.
Some months ago the pastor, Rev.
DR.. C Wenders, who has since been
registered as an enemy alien, declar-
ed that services would be conducted
in German in Christ Lutheran church
as long as he was the minister in
charge.
The resolution which suspeads the
German services states that action is
taken "for the best interests Of the
church and Sunday school. and espe-
cially the younger generation"
