March Of 1861 New Castle County receiv-
ed a state appropriation for schools of
S75, Kent county $50 Sussex $50 The
speaker told of the establishment of Will
mlngton High School and of colored
schools only since 1875. BY 1890, the
speaker thought, the public schools
would be funetioning in complete form.
Permanent tenure in office should hold
IN teaching, the speaker said. High Schools
IN Delaware must be standardized, he
declared, and High School diploma in
Delaware made equal to one anywhere.
Mrs. Edward w Buckner of Balti-
more, vice-chairman of education for the
federated clubs of Maryland, spoke of
the public school as the logical school for
democracy 5 children. She urged more
acting democracy and less of acting
aristocracy. The crying need in edu-
cation, she said, is the franchise for
women.
Dean Winifred Robinson of the Women's
College at Newark declared the Iwen-
tieth Century will socialize education.
The time has come to demand excellence
of colleges. In the small State of Della
ware especially there is room only for the
best There is need of raising the standard
in the public schools. Delaware should
make OF the Teachers Training Work at
Newark unit in itself. Delaware first
was suggested by Dean Robinson rs the
inspiration for further endcavor.
Pierre ;. du Pont gave nm earnest and
comprehensive discourse on constructive
plans for Delaware schools. Every citizen
in Delaware, he said, has an opportunity
to do constructive work in regard to the
schools. A year of discussion by the com
mission Of nine men has led To constructive
plans. In this time 81 sections OF the
School Code have been changed with no
vote. Delaware must determine
how much it is willing To spend on Della
ware children.

U. 5. Gains in the Argentine Trade Not
 Losses to British,

Buenes Aires. May 29.-It is true that the United States gained the su premacy of the import trade of Ar Eentlna during the war, surpassina Nreat Britain, but the United States has not, as has been contended hv some British interests, taken this
 rade from the British while they were lighting the war, declares Dr. Julius Klein, United States Commercial at tache in Argentina.
 He quotes Argentine important sta tlStics to show that very little of this expansion trade with the United States has been at the expense of the Hritish On the other hand he says II has won from the continental coun tries of Europe, especially Germany, or Is entirely new business create by American enterprise.
 Dr. Klein has made an analytical comparison of the changes in the dis tnbutlon of Argentine import trade during the war and since, which waa published today in the Standard, a British newspaper of Buenos Aires The statistics show that during the first nine months of 1919 the United States supplied 37 per cent of Argen- tlna's imports compared with 14 per cent in 1913, while Great Brtain's share had fallen from 31 per cent to# 2l and Germany's from 16 per cent to zero.
 In only one instance was there a clear ease of transfer of predominance rem British to American interests, and that was in tin plate.
 Great Britain also lost in barbe,i wire and lead, but the American gains, says Dr. Klein, "seems to be quite as much at the American gains, says Dr Klein, "seems to be quite as much att the expense of Germany in one case and Spain in the other as they were at the cost of Great Britain The United States gained at the expense of continental exporters, particularly Germany's, in cleaned rice, sugar, print paper, cotton prints, writing pa per, dyed cotton cloth and cotton stockings, though there was some decrease shown in imports from Great Britain of the latter item.
 Clearly new factor in the Argen tine market, the commercial attGche points out, is the American automobile trade. In 1913 France, out of a total of 5000 cars imported, sent 1 800 and the United States 1900; whereas in 1917 the total number imported had
