Y. M. G.. A. DIRECTORS
VOTE TO SUSPEND AC-
TIVITIES INDEFINITELY
Athletic Equipment to Be
Given to High School and
Rehabilitation Unit

Regret and disappointment were
expressed in many quarters when
the announcement was made on
Saturday that the Y. M. G.. direc-
tors at a meeting the previous
evening, had decided to suspend
all activities indefinitely.
The local branch of the associa-
tion was formed about a year ago
with Francis A. Cooch as presi-
dent. Quarters were secured in
the Armory and a trained secre-
tary, w. Paul Bebout who had
done excellent work in Trenton,
N. j., was secured to direct the
activities, which were begun Octo-
ber 2, 1919.
During the winter months, a
basketball tournament in which
the various industrial plants Of
the town together with the Amer
lean Legion and other organiza-
tions of young men participated,
excited much interest and en-
thusiasm. Sports and numerous
athletic features were planned for
Newark post., 1920-09-22

the boys of school age and much
good was accomplished.
1t soon became apparent, how
ever, that in spite of the generous
support accorded by some of the
;itizens, the unit was too small to
finance the venture. Funds for
the purchase of equipment and
for the current expenses of the
year ordinarily secured through
membership fees and donations,
had to be augmented by a carnival
given during the winter. This was
eminently successful and received
the hearty support of the towns
people, and friends of the move
ment in adjacent communities.
Even with this aid and encourage
ment the directors deemed it i'm
possible to raise sufficient funds
to maintain the work.
Mr.. Bebout resigned in May and
upon his advice and that of other
experienced "Y" workers, the di-
rectors endeavored to interest
several adjacent towns in the
movement, with the idea that the
expense of maintaining a secretary
should be borne by different COM
munities whose activities he would
direct for a part of the week.
This proposition could not be es-
tablished and the Board decided
to suspend all activities indefinite
ly. The following resolution was
therefore adopted:
"Resolved: That after a years
trial it has become evident that it
is impossible to continue the work
of the Newark Y. M. c. =, due to
lack of financial support, and
Therefore, the directors agree
to suspend indefinitely the activi-
ties of the association and to sur
render the lease on the armory,
with thanks to the State Armory
Commission for it's generosity and
to the people of the community
who in so many ways have aided
the directors in their efforts to
make the association a success"
The armory will be turned over
to the State Armory Commission
on October IL. The shuttle board
which gave enjoyment to many
during the winter and spring will
probably be loaned to the soldiers
at the Rehabilitation Unit at
Linden Hail." and some of the
athletic equipment will likely be
given to the high school.

GRESS TO RELIEVE.
TEACHER SHORTAGE
Friends Of Education to Seek
Immediate Passage Of
Smith I owner Bill

The teacher shortage remains a
menace to the public schools ac-
cording to reliminary reports made
public. today by the National Edu-
cation Association. Replies to
questionnaires sent out by the
Association have come from all
sections of the United States.
These reports show that in places
where teachers salaries have been
increased one hundred per cent or
more the situation is nearly al
ways satisfactory. But such places
are comparatively few, and in
localities where salaries have been
increased fifty per cent or less the
teacher shortage is commonly
greater than year ago. Rural
communities are hardest hit.
Signed reports from superinten-
dents of many counties indicate
that a third of their rural schools
cannot open for want of teachers.
Tens of thousands of schools will
be in charge of teachers who have
had no professional preparation
and whose academic training
barely exceeds that of the chill
dren they teach.
Relief from this serious situa-
ton, which imperils the stability
of American rural life, will be
sought from the next session of
Congress. Renewed efforts will
be made to obtain the passage of
the Smith-Towner Bill, which ere

DECREASES INFANT
DEATH RATE ONE-THIRD
Reconstruction Commission
Does Notable Work
Throughout State

The Reconstruction Commission
has issued a pamphlet regarding
the child health center and dis
pensaries operated by the COM
mission. It explains the work the
commission is doing and urges
mothers to come to it for advice
in regard to their babies.
The results Of the efforts of
this organization are shown by
the fact that the infant death rate
has been cut one-third in Will
mington during one years work
of the child health center service.
Reports from other parts Of the
State are equally gratifying.
There is still much which the
organization wishes to accom-
plish, however. Investigations by
the commission show that nearly
one thousand babies die every
year in Delaware in addition to
two hundred still-born; that many
are born without attention of ply
sician or nurse and the mothers
receive no prenatal instruction );
that they have not proper food
and care; that their surroundings
are unsanitary, and that minor
ailments and physical defects are
not given attention.
These evils would be prevented
by the continuation and extention
Of such work as the Reconstruct
tion Commission is doing, it be-
lieves. The commission makes the
indisputable statement that it is
poor economy for a State to save
dollars by wasting life and health.
The work of the commission is
supported partly by State appro-
priations and partly by private
subscription. Contributions may
be sent to the Woman's Commit
tee for Child Welfare. Money is
spent through the Reconstruction
Commission by regularly audit
ed voucher system. The finance
committee is composed of Mrs. A.
D. Warner, chairman; Mrs. James
N. Ginns, Mrs. William Coyne and
Mrs. William H. Ward
In addition to the five centers
operated in Wilmington, there are
5 at various central points
throughout the State.
Newark has a center for We'd

134 patients; Middletown one on
Thursday at 9 a. m. to 5 p. M,

tients; Georgetown, by appoint
ment, 200 patients; Seaford, 1 p.
m. to 3 p. M, 81 patients.
This makes a total of CPL pa
tients, and Newark and Seaford
centers were open only few
weeks of the year. Dispensaries
are operated in connection with
the centers.
Local committees in New Castle,
Hockessin, Yorklyn, Smyrna and
Midway have opened Child Wei.
fare Centers. The Reconstruction
Commission cooperates by fur
nishing supervision and nursing
service. All centers offer free
health service for mothers, babies
and children.
At the centers there are exami-
nations and advice for mothers,
babies and children. Trained child
welfare nurses visit homes to give
