DETAILED STATEMENT
OF SCHOOL BUDGETS
Concluded from first pagel


OF books in order to cut expenses
That would be equivalent to depriving
a workman of his tools. Would they
step making repairs and let the build
ings go to rack and ruinY Would they
stop buying supplies, such as maps
I If so. they would drive teachers out
OF Delaware almost as rapidly as by
reducing salaries. No one worth her
salt is going to try to teach a lot of
children without supplies, without
books, in a school house badly in need
of repairs, when she can get S75 a
month upward in an Office, where she
is furnished good comfortable sur

few supplies and books and expected
to handle all sorts Of youngsters. Not
when town jobs as clerks, typists and
stenographers are being offered for
more money!
Enemies Of the School Code are al
ready promising to reduce expenses if
they are given control. Let them spec
ify where they would reduced What
items in the budget would they slash?
What ones would they omit? They
surely know. since they are so free
TO find fault The people have right
to know before these enemies are
given control whether these enemies
are "bluffing" or mean business. If
they mean business, let them put their
finger on the items and say, Here is
where l would cut expenses"
Surely they don't ask to have the
patient put under the influence of the
ether and placed on the operating
table before they know where they
will cut. Now is the time to make the
to find out what is wrong
and should be cut and what is right
and should be left alone.
Those papers which have been yell
ing about waste Of money surely know
what they are talking about. Now let
them come forward and show by the
budget where the money is being
wasted.
The School Code controversy has
reached that stage where wind-jam-
ming will no longer answer. Every .
thing is in the open insofar as the .
Code and its administration is con-
,erned. Let those who find fault, who
say this or that is wrong, begin to
