Newark post., 1919-08-27

may be proud, but this is no time
for lamentation or blame. Our
mistakes can be rectified; we can
jump from the thirty-third place
to the first and that without any
tremendous sacrifice.
Second - The fact of import
ance is that our new school code
is not an experiment; it is based
upon the best working factors of
educational systems in other
States. If it is put into practice
1t will produce beneficial results in
a short time.
"Third-Everything that per-
tains to education ought to be out
side of the rivalries and animos-
tiles of party politics. Any parti-
san who tries to advance his own
party interests at the expense of
the thousands of children in the
State, should be branded by the
general public as a criminal and
a traitor.
"Fourth-A defective education
al system in Delaware means a
tremendous economic loss to the
State in the future because the
children who are in the schools
today and in the years to come will
have to compete against those of
Ineighboring States where the edu-
rcational systems give the citizens
a much better equipment for sue
cess in life.
"Fifth-In spite of the new code
and P. S. du Points school building
fund, Delaware can make no ad-
vance in education worth melton
ing unless the leading citizens of
each community create an atmos-
phere of confidence in our educa-
tional processes"
