Dover Accepts $225,OOO
Of School Fund From

At meeting of citizens on Fri
day night it was decided that it
would be we'll to accept the offer of
the School Auxiliary Association
to provide 1926, 900 of the Pierre S.
dupont school fund for the erec-
tion of new school building here,
the special Dover school district
to issue bonds to the amount of five
percentum of the assessed value
Of the school property, S143,OOO.
1t was shown that the acceptance
of the gift would mean an increase
for a few years Of the school tax
rate from 55 cents on the one hun
dred dollars to 81 or S1.10. 1t was
pointed out that the tax would be
less than the rate in the Caesar
Rodney Consolidated district of
Camden and Wyoming, which is
S1.27 and had not been less than
S1.20 since it became a consoli-
dated district. The vote to accept
was made unanimous.

The designers will make every
effort to turn the medals out at
top speed, it is understood. 1t will
be necessary to engrave each mans
name on the individual medals,
which will take some time. Mr.

committee counts on the distribu.
tion of about 5000 medals, although
there were probably 10000 mer
and women from this State in the
service. 1t is impossible to locate
them all at this time. The extra

''Y" OFFERS SCHOL-
ARSHIPS TO EX-
SERVICE MEN
National War Work Council
Will Make Awards In
Feb. or Sept.

The National War Work Council
of the Y. M. C. A. has recently re-
solved upon a new departure in
its policy which will involve the
distribution of about $4,000 schol-
arships throughout the United
States, in technical schools, bust
ness colleges, Y. M. C. A. schools,
colleges and universities. Stu
dents in Delaware Colleges are ELI
gible to share in the benifit of the
scholarships allotted to the state
of Delaware.
The organization of the work of
allotting these scholarships is be-
ing pushed rapidly SO that they
may take effect at the beginning
of the second semester. Men who
can show a certificate of honorable
discharge from any branch of the
service, including the S. A. T. c.,
are eligible to receive a scholar
ship. The provision is intended
particularly for men whose service
in army or navy interrupted their
schooling, or in some way has
made it difficult to carry out their
educational plans. The income of
the scholarships will be proper
toned to the need of the recipient
up to $500, and it IS the policy to
extend the benefit of the educa.
tional fund to as many men as
possible. The scholarship award
ed now will take effect in Febru
ary or next September, according
to circumstances, and will run fol
one year. They will be renewable
Fullest publicity will soon bt
given to the conditions, and appli
cations should be made immediate
ly. Each will be considered on it
merits regardless of priority. Th'
. appointments to collegiate scholar
: ships from Delaware will be mad
! by an Interstate Committee, OF
: which DR.. K. r. Greenfield ha
: been asked to serve. Application
should be made directly to the sec
: retary of this committee, DR.. Davi,
, Garrett Smith, 406 Continenta

They should be made upon Form

pose. DR.. Greenfield is expecting
{ to receive a supply of these form
in the near future; and student
who are in doubt about their eli
gibility or who wish to talk owe
these scholarships are advised t.

The first carload of colony bricks
was loaded at the Colony siding Mon
day. for Florein, La.
This is the beginning of the brick
industry. While several thousands
of brick have already been sold and
hauled away. this is the first solid

being put in to carry the mud to the
pug-mill, which is elevated over the
brick machine. This machinery is now
ready for operation. and brick max
ing will be begun in earnest. The In
stallation of all this machinery will
eliminate great deal of hard work
and increase the production many
fold.
