It turned out that she had gone in

at intervals with flashes like this:

to run the s6-called school.
One very serious objection to the pro-
posed law is that providing for county
board elected at the general election
when partisan feeling is running high.
ldealists may say and believe that in
dependent voters will see that good
men. nay the best men, are elected.
But in practice, the men to be elected
will be those who have the endorsement
of one or other of the two principal
political parties. With the appointment
of superintendent, two or more clerks,
three or more supervisors, and hundreds
of teachers to be given out, it is almost
certain that politicians will eventually
secure control of the schools. Such has
been the history of all communities
which have tried the county plan.
Indiana. Illinois, Michigan and
Minnesota all tried this plan and aban-
doned because of the politics injected
into the management. Maryland is
to-day the only state that can be point
ed to as having this plan in operation.
Possibly one of the best reasons why we
should not follow the lead of Maryland
in this particular is found in the fact
that for more than forty years, it has
been the usual thing for Cecil County,
Maryland, people to send their children
to the Middletown Schools, paying their
taxes in Maryland, and also paying our
tuition charges for the sake Of having
their children enjoy the advantages of
our schools.
Nothing was said at the meeting
Tuesday evening in reference to the in
creased cost. But in one of the tables
accompanying the report or survey, it
is stated that the total of taxes collect
ed locally from all schools, white and
colored in New Castle was in round
numbers $91, 700. Of this amount
Middletown Schools contributed about
1-l8 or 1-2O. The expense of the county
board alone is estimated at $12, 900 and
will probably be nearer $4,000. Our
share of it would be not less than 5000
or $1,000. This would increase our taxes
at least 10 cents on the 500. To this
must be added the salary to
teachers to meet the rigid requirements
Of the proposed law Of normal school
graduates for the elementary schools
and college graduates for the High
School. 1t can be conservatively stated
that our school taxes in Middletown
would be increased at least SO per cent.
