SENTIMENT AT
SCHOOL MEETING
FAVORS BOND ISSUE
Continued from Page y
Explains Need of New Building


In response to a request voiced
by Mr.. Ellison, for a statement
concerning the condition Of the
buildings now in use, Superin-
tendent j. Herbert Ovens told of
the congestion, the poor lighting,
the inadequacy of the High
School building in particular. He
called attention, by way of illus
tration, to the room in which, the
meeting was held. Crude braces
support the ceiling which last
year threatened ito collapse. Win
dows in the two short sides Of the
room furnish insufficient light
which must be augmented by
electric lights placed in such
fashion as to produce many
shadows. The ideal plan, he
stated, endorsed by experts in
school architecture, is to have all
light enter from one side Of the
building, the windows being con-
tinuous.
The room is filled to- capacity
and the means Of ventilation are
entirely inadequate, a statement
which those present could heartily
endorse. The heating system, he
said, is worm out and should be
replaced. $58 has been spent so
far this year for repairs.
The rooms in all three build
inlgs are overcrowded, necessitat-
ing the use of chairs; one more
teacher is needed in the Grammar
School and larger teaching staff
in the High School. No labora-
tories are provided for work in
science and no adequate equip
ment. Following this statement
Dr.. T. F. Manns remarked that
this lack of facility for adequate
training of the Delaware youths
is the reason why so few positions
of this kind in the State are filled
by Delaware teachers.
County Bond Issue Does not
Affect Local District
Fear that the million dollar
bond issue recently voted by the
county would also affect Newark
was dispelled by George L. Medil
who explained that the locaI
school district is separate tas
unit. Changes in the law with
respect to Special Districts dis
solving to become a part Of the
County system were also explain
ed. Mr.. Medill stated that in al
probability the tuition of the
children sent here by the county
would cover the interest on the
bonds, which he explained will de
crease yearly as the bonds are
retired.
This will naturally diminish
the tax rate each year.
Tells Why Referendum Was
Called Now
The reason for calling for tht
referendum at this time was ex
planned in letter from the Della
ware School Auxiliary Associa
- tion which R. S. Gallaher asket
,. the chairman to read. This state'

COLLEGE DRAMATIC
CLUB PLAYS A SUCCESS
Stage Curtains Gift of Friends
Dedicated Friday
Evening

Evening
Both those who understood
French and those who did not
were enthusiastic in their appre-
ciation and enjoyment of the
French play, lies Romanesques"
given by the Women's College
Dramatic Club last Friday even
ing at Wolf Hall. The beauty of
the costumes and of the scenery
as we'll as the technique of the
players was the source of much
pleasure to those who understood
not a word of the play.
"The Man Who Married a
Dumb Wife," the play in English,
was realistically portrayed by
particularly well-chosen cast.
Miss Margaret Foster in the
character of the jucge, displayed
unusual dramatic talent and
elected much praise for the man.
ner in which she portrayed the
part of the loving husband op-
pressed by his beautiful wife's in
ability to speak; and later the
harassed judge driven mad by the
incessant chatter of his better
half after her speech was re-
stored. Miss Helen Fisher as the
wife also made decided hit,
portraying that difficult character
with remarkable fidelity to truth.
Miss Elizabeth Taylor as the
sympathetic lawyer friend; Miss
Edith Leonard as the dignified
physician of impressive bearing !;
Miss Emma Dayett as the surgeon
with a formidable array of i'm
plements of war, and Louise Jack
con as the apothecary displayed
unusual cleverness in their re-
spective characters. Miss Hannah
Hollingsworth as the clerk, and
Miss Marion Rodney as the SER
want, gave faithful and highly
humorous portrayals of those
parts. Miss Winifred Hanchett as
the ward of the sympathetic
friend, made a charming mada-
moiselle who quite won the heart
of the judge.
The scenery used in the produc-
tion was built by George E. Brin-
ton, DR.. F. M. X. Foster and E. c.
VanKeuren. This was decorated
by a committee of Students assist
ed by Miss Rachel Taylor of the
art department. The curtains re-
Gently purchased from Elk Mills
were dedicated for this produc.
tion. They consist of three sep,
arate parts, a huge stationary
curtain above and two sliding
curtains. These may also ibe uset
in the Hilarium at Women's Col
lege.
The lighting effects were ar
> ranged and regulated by Mr.

RAILROADS ASK RATE IN
 CREASE ADVANCED

| PHoENIX, Aug. 27.-Now that the interstate commerce commissAn has granted the railroads blanket in crease Of 25 per cent on interstate freight and passenger rates, which will go into effect today, railroads in Arizona are anxious to secure the same increase on intra-state business, that is. business originated in and carried on wholly within the state.
 Application to make this increase has been on file with the Arizona cor porat!cn commission for some time. and the hearing was set originally for the railroads appeared before the commission and asked for the near ing, to be set ahead to September 3. Their request was granted.
 Y ;h.s is permitted in Arizona it will mean that freight rates will be advanced 56 per cent oyer pre- war rates. l. will mean also an advance in passenger fares from four to five cents per mile on through lines and an advance of from five cents to six and one half cents per mile on the Globe division
 |; is the opinion of Commissioner Jones that the most serious effect of any further advance in freight rates would be to the mining industry of the state Huge quantities of low grade ore are now transported be. tween Arizona mining and smelling points. With the margin of profit small in the handling Of these ores it would take but a very slight aa- vance, he says, to throw matters out Of gear and totally destroy great industry which is supporting thor sands Of workers.
 The matter vas laid before :he interstate commerce commission by Nevada. Ne@ Mexico and Arizona. and has been set for hearing on Sep tember 22 A that time evidence  Will be producel in an effort to show ;ha, the four cent rate is unjust and discriminatory Figures will be sub mltted showing the revenues of the roads and comparison with reye. nues or other mountain states where conditions ar- similar but where tha s2ses are lower.
