Tucker, one of the .oountv's best known men, is stricken with the disease. The worst feature of tha disease at Grand Glaize, Mrs Spitzer says, is an accompanying sore thro2t among the patients. One of Mrs. Spitzer's patients, Ed. DaY's who resides across the river, died Sunday from tuberculosis. He leaves several motherless chil3rsn. The county nurse says there is great need of county hospital O. some in s4itu5ion where tubercular patients should be cared for.

only act upon the policies which the
State commissioner of education in
itiated; but in the amended bill the
State Board is supreme in matters of
education and the State commissioner
is simply the executive officer of that
board.
"The original bill provided for the
conveyance of all school property to
the county board. The amended bill
allows all of the districts to hold title
to the property as they do now but in
order to get State aid it is necessary
for these districts to accept the super
vision and management of the State
Board, and a limited time is given to
the special districts to accept the su-
pervision of the State Board. This
will undoubtedly insure the unifcation
of all State education.
"These are two important amend
ments to the bill. The other amend
ments were simply minor matters
which concerned the wording of GER
tain paragraphs"

Caleb E. Burchenal, the well-known
Wilmington lawyer who was much in
terested in the New Code take a
rosy view of the step forward in the
improvement of educational facilities
in Delaware. "In my opinion" he
said, in discussing it, "the new code is
the greatest piece of constructive leg
islation which has been enacted in re-
cent years.
"The two great outstanding feat
ures of the code are, first, that it pro-
vides State supervision of education,
which fixes the minimum standards of
education in our State through the
State Board, and, second, it provides
equal opportunities of education of all
children of the State.
"The State Board not only fixes
the standard of education, but also the
standard of school buildings and san
itary requirements for the entire
State, including the City of Whining
ton. The State Board also fixes the
standard of qualifications for teachers.
This gives to the State Board the
power to insure to the State, capable
and efficient teachers, good buildings
with proper sanitary conditions, and
the power to arrange the minimum
amount of educational requirements
of the children of the State.
"The special district and county
boards arrange for the appointment
of teachers passing the examination
provided by the State Board, and also
the supervision of the teaching force,
and provide for the consolidation of
the schools.
'The Board must either build an
elementary school within two miles of
every child in the State, or provide
transportation for the child to school
which is distant more than two miles.
1t further states high school must be
brought within three miles of every
child of the State or the Board must
provide transportation to the child
living more than three miles from a
high school.
"This will be of very great advan-
tage to the country people of the
State, some Of whom live a long dis
tance from high school advantages.
These school advantages will undoub-
tedly increase the salability of real
estate in Delaware and enhance the
value of farm properties, and thereby
increase the wealth of the State. 1t
is a great sacrifice to the poorer
people of our State to do without the
earning power of child, as many of
them do not own a horse or bicycle
and do not have the means to hire the
same, it is impossible for their child
rem to get high school education
under the old system.
"The code does away with the old
scholarship system and provides free
educational opportunities for every
child of the State through the high
school and even through Delaware
College, if it is desired to go through
Delaware College.
"The code also requires that every
child must attend school 1SO days
every year until he is ID years of age
and if he has not passed the sixth
grade, he must attend school 100 day!
in the year until he is 16 or until h,
makes the sixth grade; if he is not EN-
ployed he must attend school ever!
day until he has passed the sixth
grade. This will decrease the litter
acy of the State.

affect it in any essential particular II

TOWNSEND ENTERTAINS MANY
Largest Crowd In History of Town
Witness Airplane Exhibit and Hear
Victory Loan Appeal-QuOta Sure

Townsend, May GA Victory Lib
erty Loan meeting was held in Town
send, Saturday afternoon. Mrs. w.
Harman Reynolds, chairman for Ap-
poquinimink hundred, presided over
the meeting. The school children
marched and sang patriotic songs, in
structed by Miss Ethelwyn Maloney;
a four-minute speech was given by
Margaret Hill, High School girl,
her subject was: "Why You Should
Buy Victory Liberty Bonds;" Gilbert
Hayden, Jr., of the Grammar School,
recited THE Kaiser, Called the Devil
on the Phone" An airplane operated
by Lieut.. Schofeld, flew over the
town and did wonderful stunts, such
as loop-the-loop, split tail spin, and
other dangerous things, but did not
land because there was not a field
near town that was available. Private
Longacre, of the 59th Field Artillery,
who had been "over the top" in three
big battles, been gassed and wounded,
made a speech which was enjoyed by
all. Mr.. Caleb Burchenal, attorney
at law, of Wilmington, one of our
most able speakers, told the people
why they should buy Victory Liberty
Bonds. After hearing Mr.. Burche-
nal, those who had not bought bonds
had something to think about, and we
| feel that it will not be long before
every one will be wearing a Victory
button. After Mr.. Burchenal had fin
ished his speech, Mrs. George Whit
took and w. Harman Reynolds, well
known merchant of Townsend, assist
ed in the selling of bonds by spotting
the buyers, and calling out the names
and amount of subscriptions, as the
Red Cross girls and other solicitors
brought them to the platform. Mr..
Reynolds closed his store, as far as
business was concerned, and gave the
ladies the entire use of his Office,
porches and yards, which were
thronged with people who came for
miles. Some of the older residents Of
the town said there were more people
in Townsend than was ever seen be-
fore at a public gathering. The
music was furnished by the Elkton
Jazz band, who were very liberal with
their patriotic selections, which were
enjoyed by all. The chairman stated
she was very well pleased with the
subscriptions for the afternoon, which
