New York, June 1.-"Glve us min

1t was back in 1851 that British
yachtsmen served this warning on
old Captain Dick Brown. who had
just sailed the America to victory
over the Aurora and 13 other Brit
ish craft.
That was sixty-nine years ago and
ever since then British yachtsmen
have been trying to win back Ameri-
cas- cup which was won by old Skip
per Brown.
When a generation had failed Sir
Thomas Upton, the tea-king of Ire
land, took up the task He has tried
four times to win the cup and spent
close to $3,000,00O upon family of
Shamrocks that have always been too
slow for Aweriean sloops.
Shamrock w, which was caugh
in mid-ocean by the declaration
war in 1914 and which narrowly es
ceped destruction by a shipyard's
fire this spring after six years stor-
age, will make the supreme effort
this summer to win back the cup.
Against either the Resolute or the
Vanltie, two American candidates

MANY CITY SCHOOLS
ARE AGE WORT"
According to Report Submitted
to the Board of Education,
Last Night.

A report of the repairs committee
read at the meeting of the Board OF
Education last night condemned some
of the Wilmington schools as age worn
buildings, i'll adapted TO the ideals of
modern education. Portions of the re-
port were as follows:
Eve wish to say that SO far as the
repairs committee is concerned the
schools are ready to be opened today,
September l3. We have made no effort
% do any work outside the buildings,
feeling that such work might be done
after the opening of the schools.
we have spent large sums of money
10 make the schools safe and habitable.
We felt that the schools should be the
brightest spot in the daily life of the
children, and should give to them an
ideal of order, cleanliness and refinement.
So far as we have been able, we have
worked toward that end, yet, despite
the painter and the carpenter, we still
have age worn buildings that are i'll
adapted TO the ideals of modern education.
a majority of our schools are prod
ucts of a generation long since passed
away and neither the painter nor the
carpenter can make them modern. We
are making an endeavor to supply the
pressing demand for more school room
by I he installation of portable buildings
and Dur yards are ready for them. Such
buildings deprive the children of play
grounds, condition which is far from
the ideal.
we sincerely hope that the Citizens
Comrnittee, which is to survey our
buildings, will keep that fact in mind
and recommend to the people Whining
ton, who own the schools and whose
children attend them, some program
which will allow us to construct modern
buildings with adequate Fairgrounds.
We feel that the citizens should
inspect the buildings, in which their
children pass 50 much of their lives,
and give to the Board of Education
the requisite money for their rehabilita-
ton. Such a recon struction is especially
needed IN the older sections of the city,
whcne the Older schools are of course
situated
we have read the report of the fire
committee of the Chamber of Com
mercR We are personally sorry that
1t WAS tabled. We feel that this COM
mittee should be invited to survey all
the schools rs nothing but good would
be accomplished by such a survey.
- FIR as our committee is concerned,
all htcrationS recommended will be
carritd out
The report of the fire committee
did not say that We do not have fire
drills, but that they should be held
FREQUENTLY. 1t Is our personal feeling
that the fire drill is more important
IN saving lives than the fire extinguisher"

itself with list of the repairs which

school. 1t WAS mentioned that there
was fire plug near the front OF the
building.
The work Of the Bureau Of Education
and that of the local citizens was out
lined in communication from the
executive committee. The citizens com
mittee would not deal with the technical
or financial end of the schools, it was
pointed Gut.
Consideration of rates of tuition for
nonresident students was introduced
by Superintendent of Schools Clifford
j. Scott. He declared that last year
was below the per capita cost of each
child. The matter wk placed in the
hands of the finance committee.
Attention was called by DIR. Banton
to the fact that in the No. A school
boiler was three feet from wooden
wall Authority to have brick wall
built behind the boilder was granted.
DIR. Beck asked for scales and a filing
cabinet for use of the physical examiner,
which made some of the members present
laugh. There was some discussion be-
tween DR.. Banton and DIR. Beck as to
which committee the purchases should
be charged. DIR. Banton declared that
if the health committee went broke it
could call on the repairs committee
for help. A motion to have the pur-
chases made by the health committee
was adopted.
Bids were received for repairs IN the
High School annex, as well as certain
improvements in other schools.
The following appointments were recon-
mended by the committee on teachers
and adopted by the board: Helen Nc
