The Baltimore Sun in it's issue of
November a, characterizes the School
Code agitation in Delaware as Gan
Amazing Story" 1t says:-"We
have been so much interested in our
own local contest that few of us have
noted the school war that is going on
just over our border in Delaware.
And yet as matter of fact one of the
most curious conflicts ever staged in
this country has been in progress for
some time next door to us.
"Outside of Wilmington, and a few
other sections, it appears, Delaware's
public school system has been a
scandal and reproach to all progress
sive and intelligent citizens. Many of
the schoolhouses are dilapidated or
out of date, the teaching corps in the
country schools has been composed
largely of ignorant or unframed per-
sons, the school terms have been re-
duced to five and even three months.
"Civic pride and intelligence finally
inaugurated a reform movement and
secured the passage by the Legisla-
ture last winter of the "New School
Code" which provides for modern
schoolhouses, qualified teachers at
better salaries and longer school
terms. The new code excited little
opposition at first, but since it went
into operation in June, it has become
the burning issue in Delaware. The
farmers discovered that it would in
crease their taxes somewhat, and that
it would deprive them of the services
of their children, and many of them
have become fighting mad about it..
The question was taken into the
courts, and when the case came be-
fore the Supreme Court at Dover a
thousand farmers from the surround
ing country poured into the little
town, presumably with the intention
of seeing that the judges did their
duty. Happily for the honor of Del
aware, the judges refused to be intimi-
dated and upheld the constitutionality
of the new code, in spite of the fact
that their terms of Office expire next
year.
"The New York Sun, from whose
correspondent we CLEAN the facts Of
this extraordinary rebellion agains
education, declares that Delaware i
split into rival. camps by this issue
and that it is "now absorbing all at
tentiOn night and day in the are;
where it RACES" Some of the farm
ers swear that they will shoot tn
officials who endeavor to compel thei
children to attend school for the ful
term, and the great house of Du Pom
is once more leading rival factions.
"Of all the strikes we have had
this country, this Delaware strik
against its own children is the base!
and most sordid. We hope the Pr,
gressives Of Delaware will keep I
the fight at any cost until the benign
ed intellectual rebels have be,
rescued and redeemed from their ov
darkness and ignorance"
