KENT LEVY COURT MEETING.
Action on New School Code Still De-
ferred to Get Legal OpiniOn-De-
lay May Affect Our School.

Kent County's Levy Court, in adj
Joulned session, yesterday, heard
report from the committee, consisting
OF Messrs. Waldman, Woodruff and
Ford, who awaited on Governor Town
send and requested him to ask the
Court of this State for an opinion as
to the constitutionality of the new
School Code, before the Kent County
Court should either adopt or reject
the code. The reply from the Cover
nor, as presented by the committee.
was to the effect that as several opin-
ions had already been given by prom
lnent attorneys of the State as to the
validity of the code, he saw no iusti-
fable reason why he should ask the
Court for an opinion. As MANY tax
payers of their respective districts
were opposed to the code and so in
formed the Levy Court, the commits
sloners felt they could do nothing
else than seek all the legal advice
possible, as Wilmington is doing, be-
fore accepting or rejecting the meas
ure. At the afternoon session of the
Court, motion was made and carried
that the Attorney General of the
State be asked for written opinion
as to the validity of the code. the
same to be submitted to the Kent
County Levy Court at its next ad-
'journed meeting, August 26. The fail
ure of the Levy Court to accept the
code is complicating matters and
with the reopening of the schools
few weeks hence, great concern is
being manifested in many parts of the
county as to what effect the delav
will have on the schools for the COM
ing year.

Delaware College Summer School,
after six-weeks' session, closed at
noon, Friday, at Newark. More than
200 teachers from all parts of the
State who had been attending the
school left for their homes to enjoy
a rest before resuming to teaching
next month. The school from every
point of view, has been the most sue
cessful ever held in this State. The
students enrolled are better prepared
from year to year, and it is a fact
that those of this years school, on a
whole, were better prepared than in
the past and seemed to take more in
terest in their work. The courses
were probably better than in previous
years and the lecture course, which
was made a special feature, was a
great success and gave the students
an opportunity to hear some of the
best educators of the country. The
faculty was one of the strongest the
school has ever had. Much credit for
the success of the school is due DR..
Samuel C. Mitchell, president; Pro-
fessor Wilkinson, director; Professor
Mary E. Rich, dean of women; and, in
fact, every. member of the faculty.
