He reviewed the revelations re-

He reviewed the revelations re-
garding illiteracy set forth by the
draft boards Of the country and
the awakening that has resulted in
a decided impetus to educational
projects as evidenced by the Tow
ner Bill now in Congress appro-
priating 100 millions to drive out
illiteracy and by the action of
Delaware's legislature in appro-
priating $4,000 for its American
ization program. The necessity for
cooperation revealed in an illumin-
ating way as a result of war
activities made it evident that no
locality can be law unto itself.
Particularly is this true with re-
gard to education, for the moral
and material welfare of the State
depends so vitally on this. Even
the large cities are being brought
to see that their school systems
hitherto considered a unit, must be
considered a part Of the state sys-
tenn as in the case Of New York
which recently refused to grant a
salary increase provided by the
state law. The city was informed
in no uncertain terms that her
schools we're part Of the state sys-
tenn and that the state law was ap-
plicable to her.
He assured the Board that there
was no intention on the part of the
State Board to penalize any dis
trict wich elected to stay out for
by so doing the children would be
the ones who would suffer and GER
tainly there is no disposition to
punish them.
With regard to the status of a
district electing to stay out, DR..
Spaid said he would rather present
q fair view Of the reasons why
Newark should adopt the Code and
ask for cooperation in the establish
ment Of an efficient State system.
Since all of the districts with the
exception of Newark and Will
mington have accepted and since
State system will eventually
come, he urged adoption now in
order that the district might have
the distinction Of coming in to work
with the rest Of the State. This is
the day Of big things and staying
out does not place community in
an enviable position.
PRESENT BUILDINGS NOT TO BE
CONDEMNED
He could not see, he said, how
the district could possibly lose by
adoption. In fact actual figures
show that there would be a decided
Newark post., 1919-07-02

gain. The fear that the present
buildings would be condemned i'm
fediately is entirely unfounded.
Most of the districts have been for
years facing the necessity Of build
ing, Newark among the number as
the local Board unanimously
agreed. The State Board will not
enforce any harsh measures or ex-
pect the impossible. The Code
does, however, make a wise pro-
vision giving them supervision over
buildings to be put up in the
future.
He told Of the plans already
submitted by New Castle and
Dover for making temporary ar
rangements until needed buildings
can be provided. Numerous plans
for building and for consolidation
we're enumerated which he said
would never have been considered
under the old system.
He urged a fair trial of the sys-
TEN for year and expressed the
hope that Newark would move up
with the other districts and take
its place in the line of progress.
The possibility of consolidation
of districts in the vicinity Of Cooch
was considered in its probable
bearing on the local situation-the
possibility of attracting pupils
from outside districts thus cutting
of the revenue which under the
Code covers the actual cost of
educating each pupil as fixed by
the district; and the probable loss
of revenue now received from the
College for equipment and for ex-
pert teachers to supervise teacher
training.
Questions were asked freely by
the Board with reguard to con-
demnation Of buildings, certifica-
ton of teachers and taxes. A cent
was DR.. Spald'S estimate OF the
difference the Code would make one
way or the other and he proved
conclusively by comparison with
Pennsylvania rates that the talk Of
high taxes at present is all "bosh. y
He compared the actual cost of an
education with the amount paid by
the parent and proved by actual
figures that taxes paid all one s life
would hardly pay the interest on
the investment, to say nothing OF
the principal.
AS to misapprehension concern,
ing teachers certificates he assured
the Board that teacher now Civ.
ing satisfactory service need have
no fear of being turned out for a

Meets With Board at Their
Request Friday Evening
At the invitation of the local
School Board, Arthur r. Spaid,
State Commissioner of Education
met with them on Friday evening
to explain the provisions of the
School Code.
He outlined briefly the steps in
the formation of a State ssytem Of
education and stated the purpose
of the Code in providing equaelity
of opportunity for every child from
the kindergarten through college,
with the kind Of training that will
best fit him to take his place in the
world. To illustrate, he stated that
SO per cent of the girls enrolled in
any school, subsequently married.
Homemaking is therefore logically
a vitality necessary subject in the
school curriculum for every girl.

stand taken in refusing to enter in

by the attempt to better admitted
ly bad school conditions is not an
enviable one.
NOT PART OF COUNTY SYSTEM
To a question regarding rever-
sion Of the district to county con-
troll in the event of non-acceptance
Mr.. Ridgely replied that the dis
trict will not be part of the coun-
ty system under county supervi-
sion. To question as to what posi-
ton the district occupies in that
case, he said he did not know; that
the whole plan was constructed on
the assumption that it would be ac-
cepted, otherwise the Newark
schools would be in what he termed
"the twilight zone. ~
CODE GROWS IN POPULARITY
County Superintendent Wilbur
H. Jump expressed his gratifica-
tion that the Code is growing in
popularity. In Kent County 100
per cent Of the special districts
have accepted and all Incorporated
districts with the exception of Eel
ton whose civic pride balks at the
idea of giving up her high school
grades.
The acceptance by Georgetown
on Thursday by a 6-3 vote made
Sussex 100 per cent with regard to
special districts.
In New Castle County all had
accepted but twO-Newark and
Wilmington. He cleared up several
points with regard to certifcation
of teachers, giving assurance that
no teacher now filling a position
creditably has been legislated out
of office, and that nothing had been
done to discredit anyone who has
served the State faithfully in the
past.
FINANCES DISCUSSED
The matter of taxation and
finances were gone into thoroughly
He showed how in the past the
district had lost money by educat-
ing children from outside districts
at zoe a day and how under the
Code the actual cost Of educating
these children would be paid to the
district. The increase in the num-
Der admitted and the consequent
increase in revenue to. the district,
the new basis of attendance as a
determining factor in the amount
of State appropriation received
were discussed. A tentative budget
for next year based on figures
furnished by Harvey Hoffecker,
secretary to the Board Of Educa-
ton, was put upon a blackboard
It showed an approximate income
Of $33, SIT and an approximate ex,
penditure of $29,126 leaving about
$4,391 to be applied to the school
Indebtedness.
The fact was brought out that
the School Board has this year paiC
$4,000 on the debt.
Before adjournment a motion
was made and carried unanimous
ly, requesting the Board Of Educa
ton to adopt the Code.

The value of a State diploma and
the assured credit for the sale OF
bonds in the event Of building if
the district accepts the Code were
also dwelt upon and assurance
given that the part of the Board
just now is to stir up sentiment in
favor of a new building. He paid
an eloquent tribute to the members
Of the State Board whose chief aim
for the State is that Of service.
, DECIDE ON REFERENDUM
At the close of the conference,
DR.. Spaid expressed a desire to
know the Board s decision before
leaving town and receounted his
experience at Lewes which accept
ed the Code unanimously after
such a meeting.
He withdrew from the room and
after some discussion the School
Board informed him that they had
decided to put the matter up to
the people and let referendum

MEMPHIAN SAYS YANKS
KIND TO BOCHE WOMEN

Maj. Percy Perkins. a Memphis ply
stefan in the famous 42d (Rainbow d.
vlsion) Of the American expeditionary
force, is probably by now on the high
seas homeward bound after some
unique experiences, told in a letter re-
ceived Friday by United States Mar
shall Stanley H. Trezevant.
The letter was written from Brussels
Just after Maj. Perkins had left Ger
man soil. He said the boches were
sorry to see the Americans leave, as
contrary to their expectations. they
Jared better at the hands Of the dough-
boys than they did under Prussian
rule, 1t was a matter or common re-
mark that the Americans treatment
OF women in the occupied area Is kind
lier and in every way more respectful
than that Of the Germans themselves,
the letter said.
Belgium is already recovering greatly
from. the Hun devastation, Maj, Perkins
writes, and Brussels is now a gayer
ten Just after a visit to the famous
field of the battle OF Waterloo.
Maj. Perkins sole regret was his in
ability to return again to the Argonne
forest and locate tho grave OF Roy
Trezevant, brother of Stanley Treze-
want, who fell in the terrific fighting
in that region. Efforts SO far to locate
the spot or recove any effects of the
fallen soldier have failed.
On the arrival OF his unit, the head
quarters company, nth sanitary train,
Mai. Perkins will be sent to Camp Lee,
Va, to be mustered out, from which
place he will return to resume his med
lcal practice in Memphis. Maj. Per-
kins received his promotion from a cap
tainship while abroad. He enlisted in
the national guard and saw service
along the Mexican border before being
sent overseas.

Labor Leader Weeps as He
Sets Foot Again on

NEW YORK, April 11.-Samuel Com

GRAFTON Of Labor. came ashore last night
from the steamship Rotterdam, which
brought him back from France with
THE other members Of the American
delegation to the international LABOR
conference which framed e oovenant
to govern affairs of labor throughout
The veteran leader had expected to
spend the night aboard the ship, which
did not dock until morning, but came
back on the cutter with immigration
sons that his wife was Ill and that he
should see her as soon as possible,
They did not tell him that their mother
had suffered a paralyuo stroke several

When assured that 1t was the south

tears, exclaiming:
"My own land. Thank God"
Mr.. Gompers was i'll when he boarded
the ship at Plymouth, but his health
improved greatly during the voyage and
he was able to make three patriotic ad-
dresses to the 2,23S troops and the $40
civilian officers on board. In his last
talk he denounced vigorously the re-
marks through an interpreter by C..
Zilbourg, secretary of war in the Ker-
ensky cabinet in Russia.
The labor leader declared the Rus
sian had shown pronounced Bolshevik
tendencies, and as q consequence the
immigration authorities decided last
night to hold zilbourg at Ellis island
for further investigation.
Mr.. Gompers refused to discuss his
mission abroad, but said he might make
a statement later. He said that on
the way over the labor delegates had
received by wireless an invitation to
attend a luncheon to be given in their
honor Saturday by the National Civic
federation. The invitation was accept
ed on condition hat it did not inter-
fere with other arrangements made for
them.
Other members of the commission
who came with Mr.. Gompers were

E"NDEAVORERSFOR
+. VICTORY LOAN

The Christian Endeavor societies of
the United States have pledged them
selves to buy 81, 900, 900 worth Of the
new Victory loan bonds. Karl Leh-
mann, Of Chattanooga, Southern states
secretary of the Christian Endeavor,
will announce the plan of campaign at
the Friday evening session of the Mem
phis district convention, which con-
yened at the Linden Avenue Christian
church Friday morning for a two-day
session, Each Endeavor society will be
urged to buy at least a $50 bond. Should
each of the $4,000 societies do so, the
total amount of Victory bonds pur-
chased would reach 81, 900, 900, but to be
conservative, the society has set as its
goal 81, 900, 900,
Another patriotic movement that the
Endeavorers have taken up is the Boy
Scouts organization. The society win
stand solidly behind the Boy Scouts
avenue through which the returned SOL
der may turn his training to peace
time service to the great advantage OF
the younger generation, the church and
the nation, Sunday, May 4, has been
designated Boy Scout day, and will be
observed appropriately by Christian En-
deavor societies throughout the land.
The Christian Endeavor sent 1000 OF
its young men into the army, and ap-
proximately 100 Of them made the SUI
preme sacrifice, The first war cross
Issued by the French government to an
American went to a member of the
Christian Endeavor, according to MIR,
Lehman.
The attendance at the convention Is
very gratifying to the district officers,
which reflects the great interest In the
society found generally over the coun-
try. For the first three months Of 1919
a new society was organized every
seven and one-half hours, in the
Southern states alone, a record never
before approached. The goal of the
Southern states this year is 1000 new
societies.
A banner will be presented to the
society sending the largest delegation to
the convention. This will be awarded
Friday night and there Is keen rivalry
for the honor, The annual election OF
officers will also be held at that time,
and delegates named to represent the
district at the state convention at Nash
Vile, and the international conference
at Buffalo, N, Y, The district presi-
dent, o. c. Lomax, will deliver his an
nual address, and addresses will be
made by DR.. E. e. George, general sec
rotary of the Memphis Y. NJ. c. A.: the
Rev. ]. L. Price, Of Bolton college: War
rem Newsum, slate president, and. Karl
Lehman.
Two hours were spent Friday after
noon demonstrating new entertainment
features with which to enliven the social
activities of the society. This was one
of the most enjoyable features of the
day, Following the morning session the
delegates were guests of the Memphis
Christian Endeavor union for luncheon,
served at the church.
