beginning. Under the supervision of
Principal C. w. W. Schantz, Smyrna

future before it. The work has been

A worthy institution of Delaware is
the State Fair which opened near Will
mlngton on Monday and will continue
until Friday evening. It is Fair
Week, gala occasion for Whining
tonians and for the people of the sur
rounding territory. This exhibition
under Fred Brady and his committee
has been becoming better and better
as the years go on. From a humble
start it has progressed until it is now
among the best of them. The nro-
moters of the fair took hold when the
prospects were not bright. There
was no exhibition of the kind in the
state. Interest in fairs among Della
ware people had apparently lapsed
But the founders of the county meet
ing OF which the present fair is the
outcome had grit. They believed in
the educational and in the recreation
al value of fair, and they had faith
that the people would support it. This
faith has been justified A great
rallying point the fair grounds will be.
The exhibits will be fine and the
sports will be all that could be de-
sired. Make the week, family reun-
ion week.

manager and not permit him to carry
out his own ideas.
One point about the Portsmouth
plan is that in looking for talent the
authorities did not hesitate to go be-
yond the limits of the city.
In the decision of Portsmouth there
is an inspiration worth while for all
cities and towns. We have for some
time felt that a three commission sys-
tenn and the employment of a town
manager would be good for Smyrna.
Then the Council could look to one
man for results as he would employ
all help and run the town on busi-
ness-like principles. The saving in
waste and ineficiency would go a long
way in paying his salary. 1t is some
thing for Smyrna to think about.

RURAL SCHOOLS UP COUNTRY
Opened Yesterday With a Total En-
rOIlment of 4,2OO

All of the rural schools in New
Castle county, outside the special
school districts, opened their doors
yesterday morning for the fall term,
with indications of an enrolment
equal to, if not larger than last year.
This years enrolment is estimated at
over 4,20O pupils, but until the COM
plete figures are received by the
County Board of Education, the ac-
tual enrolment for the first day will
not be known. OF the 152 teachers
required on the county staff, the board
was only % short on opening day,
and there were only five classes with
out teachers. County Superintendent
w. H. Jump was confident these va
cancies would be supplied quickly.
Three county supervisors, Miss Ina
Barnes, Miss Ruby Miller and Miss
Ruth Jones have been busy for sew
eral days assisting the county super
intendent in preparing for the open
ing, and nearly all necessary supplies
have been delivered to the various
schools. AS usual, on opening day,
only one session was held to arrange
the preliminaries for the actual be-
ginning of study. The school build
ings have been thoroughly renovated
and necessary repairs made. 1t is be-
lieved they were never in better con-
ditiOn for the reception of pupils.
Three new bus lines have been pro-
vided to transport pupils to and from
their homes, making a total of seven
now in service in the county, The eff
ficiency and economy effected by the
use of motor buses as an aid to con-
sOlidatiOn and better educational fa-
cilities for rural school pupils is be-
coming so evident, opposition thereto
is rapidly disappearing. The many
points of advantage over the old sys-
tenn where the pupil was compelled to
trOd country roads in all kinds of
weather are becoming more and more
