Newark post., 1919-06-04

The fact that Newark is slow to
accept the provisions of the New
School Code is occus1oning much
comment in out of town circles
where the name Of the town is as
sociated with the centre of things
educational. Much surprise is ex-
pressed that this undoubted CEN
tire for higher education which in
the opinion of many should be in
the van guard in this vital matter
lags behind.
The result of investigation and
interview with individual members
of the Board proves conclusively
that they sincerely desire to do
whatever is best for the school and
for the town.
Phinias Morris, principal of the
school expressed himself as heart
ily in favor of the Code but stated
that he had taken no very active
part in discussions, because he
considered that it was a matter to
be decided entirely by the School
Board and not within his jurisdic-
tion unless his opinion should be
asked by them.
Opinions secured from George
L. Medill, member of the County
Board, from Superintendent Jump
and other officials high in educa-
tional circles brought to light the
following with regard to accept
ance or rejection of the Code.
Special districts such as Will
mington, Newark and New Castle
would have under the Code local
self control,-subject to the juris-
! diction of the State Board, appoint
ment of trustees and teachers and
collection of taxes.
They would receive from the
State S2400 for the high school
approximately $50 for each pupil
sent to the high school from ad.
joining districts, making a revenue
of about $4,000 here; about $3.50
yearly for each pupil in the ele.
mentary grades which would
amount to nearly S4500; the State
appropriation based on attendance
and enrolment which will prob
ably be nearly $500 per teacher, {
total of $4,000 here and an appor.
tionment under the Smith-Hughes
Act of not less than SL4O0, making
grand total of about S18,500.
Mr.. Medill made a special point
Of the fact that Newark woulC
have under the new Code an op
portunity to become the education
al centre for the adjoining dis
tricts, while failure to come int
the system will probably mean tha'
a central high school may be erect
ed at some other point for the &C
comodation of pupils from othel
districts.
The district has for some time
been facing the necessity for erect
ing new building and must con
tinue to face it whether the Cod

is accepted or not. Under the Code
State aid as enumerated above
would be abailable. "In addition
to this" said Mr.. Medill, "a pro-
gressive growing town like New
ark should feel some pride to be
in line with the educational polio
les of the State. In this connection
let me add that Middletown at the
County Board meeting held early
this week asked to be allowed to
qualify as a special district in
order to secure the privileges at
tendant thereto"
The benefits accruing to the
rising generation in the matter of
better equipment and better teach
ers was the point uppermost in the
minds of Superintendent Jump and
Mr.. Medill.
Failure to accept the provisions
of the Code may mean, in the opin-
ion of the officials, the loss of all
the above mentioned revenue since
the school will be in effect a priv
ate school cut off entirely from the
State revenue and from State
supervision.

Immediate Effect

To a question relative to pro-
visions for equipment, sanitary
conditions, ETC., next year, the an
swer was that the matter would be
decided by the State Board which
would undoubtedly give every op-
portunity to districts where con-
iditions are not ideal.
The immediate state revenue
would be greater and the taxes
therefore no higher.

no limitation exists in the matter,
the policy of the governor has been

AS Affecting Teachers

1t means according to Mr.. Jump
that teachers in these districts can
not calim a year taught in such a
district as part of the experience
necessary to secure the S100 in
crease provided by the Code after
two years. of school work.
Since the Code is the only pro-
vision in the school laws guaran-
teeing a salary increase based on
experience progressive teachers
will consider seriously the matter
of teaching in these districts and
be exceedingly hard to secure. If
the certificate of teacher should
expire during the time taught in
such a school, it is probable that
no renewal can be granted since
the school will not be considered
public school.
