We Provide Them
EVERY FRIDAY

DUT sometimes, as viii be the case today,
- we provide them in more liberal array
than on other occasions For good storekeep-
ing now demands the disposal of all stocks Of
merchandise purchased for this winters use.
It is for this very reason that our Rem
nant Day" sales now include more goods that
are not remnants at all than at any period of
the winter The hour for their departure has
struck and we must, in justice to ourselves and
the waves of new spring merchandise beginning
to flow inward, reduce many prices on season
able goods in order to insure speedy sales. This
we have done in manner we are sure our pa
irons will like; for where's the person-of
means or otherwise--who does not welcome a
chance like this to buy quality merchandise IL,
in the buying, one may save money!
One must visit the Shopping Center

At special meeting of the
Board of Education held in the
High School building on Tuesday
evening, the budget for the next
school year was discussed, as
bearing upon the decision relative
to the cooperative plan proposed
by the Women's College. The
Board adopted the conservative
policy of finding the lowest pos
Sible figure for the maintenance of
the school, with the expectation of
adding as many desirable features
as the finances of the districts
would warrant.
A careful consideration of the
figures revealed the fact that even

to conform to modern standards

Public Service Reserve
Asks for Mechanics

The United States Public Service
Reserve again appeals to machin-
lists to enroll in the Reserve as the
various shipyards are reporting to
the office in the Old Federal Build

mington, Del, that the building Of
ships is being delayed account Of
the shortage of this class of me-
chanics. Every man who is a
skillful machinist. and who is
working in a non-essential in
dustry at this time should enroll
in the Reserve. either for work in
the shipyards now, or to prepare
for the great emergency which
may arise at any time in the ship
yards.
Investigation by the L. S. En-

nitions of war but rs percent OF
what it should be, and within a
short time many concerns with
pressing war work vii! require
from so to 1900 mechanics each.
Delaware is one of the states
which is in greatest need of these
skilled workers, and one difficulty
in the supplying problem is the
length of time required to learn
the machinist's trade. 1t requires
an average of three years, as
against the trade of riveter, for IN
stance, which can be learned in a
comparatively short period.
So urgent is the need for IN
creasing the ranks of mechanics II
war industries that the Public Ser
vice Reserve is making special eff
fort to recruit mechanics. Those
in Atial enterprises are
urged to enroll and their employ
ers are appealed to in the inter
est of patriotism to release a:
many men as they can possibly
spare. In some instances possibly
non-essential manufacturers are
employing machinists under con
tracts which the latter fear t
break.

THE REAL ISSUE

just 4 WOFu ABOUT lHS SSlIpV4
question with the idea of clearing
the atmosphere Of all the conflict
ing thoughts and rumorS. AS we
undertand the situation the COM
mittee ON instruction of the col
ege has made proposition 10 the
Board Of Education whereby they
offer certain material ConSldcra-
ton to the public school. III return
for certain privileges whereby
students can observe school work
rs il is found in Delaware schools
for which they are in training. To
us il appears 10 bc an opportunity
for Newark and AZ economy for
the teachers training school,
which should be carefully con-
sidered. Ii the proposition gives
any aid or advancement to New
ark the opportunity should be seiz-
ed; il not il should be turned
down. The Board Of Education
can i'll afford to help the college
however worthy the proposition
may be. but if on the other hand
what is suggested is Of advantage
to the community. certainly the
opportunity should be seized at
once.
The proposition as we view II is
only proposition, presented for
the consideration Of the Board Of
Education before il is taken up
with the trustees Of the College.
Newark schools demand attention.:
for number Of years they have
not met the standard Of today.
They have met neither the oppor-
tunity nor the needs Of this conf
munity. The Board. with whom we
sympathiEe. is faced with a ire
mendouS responsibility. Upon their
decision rests far more than is us
ually credited. CliQueS. clans.
politics. denominational p<Jud-
ices, petty jealouSieS have no part
in this discussion. The question,
larger than any Of these. is the de-
yelopment Of future American
citizens. Shame on those who,
