by the ingenuity and cleverness of
the "get-up." One young married
woman whose apparent absence
caused much concern to her family
and friends was later discovered

TEACHERS ASSOCIA-
TION AIMS TO DE-
VELOP INITIATIVE
Many From Local Schools to
Attend Organization Meet
ing at Dover

The organization committee for the
State Teachers Association is rapid
ly perfecting plans, f-r rne State
meeting to be held in Dover, Noven-
Der u ard q. Most ~ the local tea
chers viii! attend, the State Board OF
Education having granted permission
to close school on the 21st. Delaware
is one of the few States m the Union
which has not such al. organization
and in view of its progressive edu"
cationa! policies is convinced that she
should take this step. The organiza
tion cha rman said yesterday:
zone of the features of the meeting
of the State Teachers Association, at
Dover, on November q and %, is the
holding of sectional meetings-pri-
mary, grammar and high. Through
discussion of carefully selected topics
bearing on the specific interests of
the group, selection will be made of "a
topic for group work during the en-
suing year. At the next annual meet
ing reports Of progress on the work
of these groups will be made.
The plan is one of the essentials
H. the success of the work. 1t means
that the teachers themselves. are map
ping out work which they who are
closest to the needs of the children
feel is essential to the well-being of
the schools. 1t means, further, that
teacher, supervisor, superintendent,
have a chance to\get together to dis
cues needs that the teacher feels. In
ether words, work is to be done on the
initiative of the worker.
The association hopes by working
in closest cooperation with the var.
ious boards Of education and officers
ci the system to add vital element
to the forces already at work for the
educational interest of the state. The
Ilti'1ate goal of the association Is
Letter schools, and the schools ar,

Only a Case of
Misunderstanding


farmer of Sussex county, on pay
ing school taxes on his farm, this
week at Georgetown, believed he
was somewhat imposed upon be-
cause the amount was higher than
the school tax for the previous
year. Naturally, he gave express
sion to his dissatisfaction in dis
cussing the matter.
In the course Of an interview
with one of his friends, the con-
versation trended into an analysis
of the situation, but not with the
purpose of either condemning or
approving the new School Code,
which did not enter into the con-
sideration then. 1t developed that
this farmer had three children at
tending public school, and is de-
sirous of having them secure as
good an education as is possible
within the reach of his limited
financial resources. 1t was figured
out that the education of his child
rem during the ensuing school
year, based on the amount of his
school tax, would cost less than
five dollars for each child. There
upon, without any suggestion or
urging, this school taxable arrived
at the conclusion that he was get
ting his children educated at a
reasonable charge in taxes, espec-
tally in view of the improved me-
thods, and therefore better results,
that are promised by the new
School Code, and the probability
that the school taxes will become
, less in amount in the future.
This is only one incident, but it
is both significant and encourage
ing. 1t indicates plainly that there
is a great deal of mistaken opposi-
tion to the new code, based upon
a lock of knowledge of the real
situation, and upon too ready an
acceptance of all the charges that
have been so freely advanced by
the opposition. Clear understand
ing, resulting from careful con-
sideration and accurate analysis,
surely will bring about better
understanding.
Also, more important than all
else, much will depend upon the
manner in which the new scohol
code is administered, and in re-
spect of this essential, it is graft
flying to note that the State Board
of Education is acting with good
Judgment and discretion. The
members of this important body are
disposed to inaugurate all the new
requirements in a manner that will
create the lesat possible amount OF
dissatisfaction at the outset, ane
will serve to commend the new
system rather than feed the fires
of opposition. BY adherence tt
this policy, which will do much t.
secure assent to a fair trial, in
stead of continuing unreasonable
opposition, the people may fully
realize what the new School Code
is before the time for the sittin.
of the next Legislature. Thel
they will intelligently realize wha
their future policy should be.

this morning shortly after 8 o'clock

While the death of this venerable

Judge Bearden was four times elect

Coal DeHDered
To COnsignees
Upon ArriDdl

The fuel situation, although still Sc
rious, appeared somewhat brighter in
Columbia today than in several weeks.
Orders have been received by rail
roads here permitting coal cons.gn-
ments to local industries to be deliv-
cred to consignees, provided they are
in classes from / to inclusive. For
the past several weeks considerable
coal has been@held up here subject to
orders of the regional coal committee.
Yesterday twelve cars of coal were
delivered to phosphate plants in the
county, and today twelve more ears
were delivered. Although many man
ufacturng industries are operating on
a hand to mouth" basis as the result
of the coal situation, suspension has
not yet been necessary in but few in
stances.
1t is believed here that the resump-
tion of work in the mines, and the
proximity of Columbia 10 the miles
will now guarantee continued opera
ton.
