"FOREIGN" POWER
Sion Correspondent.

StOn Correspondent.
DOVER, Oct. is.-John F. salisbury,
OF the Dover Delawarean, is one Of those
uncompromislng foes Of the School
Code TO whom the decision Of the Su-
preme Court means nothing. He is even
more firmly Of the opinion the code is
a bad thing and it should be gotten rid
Of by any means, other than calling an
extra session Of the Legislature
THE people don't want an extra ses-
sion Of the Legislature TO repeal the
code" said Mr.. Salisbury, because
they have become too disguised with
the Legislature TO want it hanging
around again. There are other ways
OF defeating the codes operation.
"What?'
well. from all the talk ! hear, the
people arc going TO boycott the
schools. Already men have refused TO
serve as school officials in most OF the
districts and now people won't send
their children TO school, II they fine
them. as l understand Superintendent
Spa'd has warned them he will do,
they will pay their fines as long as they
have a nickel"
The idea Of people depriving their
children OF all education in order 10
show their opposition to a law did not
strike Mr.. salisbury as a case OF pun
fishing the children rather than the sys-
lem. He said It was not only the sys-
tenn but the officials against which the
people are in rebellion
"'The schools are under foreign innu-
ence said Mr.. Salisbury. "There Is
