VOTERS AT SCHOOL
ELECTION SUPPORT
PRESENT BOARD
Citizens Manifest Confidence
In Efficient Admins
tration

The school election for this dis
trict was held as prescribed by law
on Saturday in the High School
building.
The Board Of Education conduct
ed the election as the code requires.
No names had been filed as was the
case in the other special districts in
the county and no particular activ-
ity was manifest on the part Of the
citizens to put up ticket. The
present Board were not candidates
for reelection but the Is voters who
presented themselves at the polls,
in spite of protestations to that eff
feet, were determined to re-elect
these members. Thirteen Of the IS
ballots cast were therefore for
Messrs. Richards, Gallaher and
Gray. The other five votes were
scattering.
According to law the members
chosen at this first election serve
for one, two and three years re-
spectively, according to the num-
Der Of votes cast for each. Since
each member Of the present Board
received 13 votes, the choice Of the
one, two and three year members
will doubtless be arranged annie
ably by the men themselves, pro
vided they agree to serve.
The overwhelming vote of con
fidence in the present Board, evi
denced both by assumption on thu
part of those who did not vote tina
the present members would con
tinue to serve, and by the few vot
ing, all Of whom came for the pur
pose Of supporting these members
may induce them to continue il
office.

state that they have served contin
uosly for II years and 9 years re
spectively and that business pre-
vents their giving to school affair

Strong Faculty and Musical Program of Exceptional Quality
to be Provided this Year
for Teachers

Training School for teachers is as
definitely a part Of the State line
of defense-against ignorance, dis
interestedness in civic affairs and
their attendant results,-as the
training camp Of the army or the
navy of the Nation. The boy or
girl taught by an unframed teacher
faces future handicap from which
the State must shield him. Scores
of Delaware men and women, alive
to the need of the hour in the
school situation, are therefore
planning to enroll for work at the
State College.
Variety of Courses offered
The courses offered at the Sum
mer School this session are broader
and more varied than ever. The
faculty has been strengthened by
number Of instructors who have
established records in particular
lines of work; old courses will be
varied in order to assure no repe-
tition for students returning from
year to year, to take up the same
subjects and college credits will be
| given for the first time to students
successfully completing college
grade work.

Council Asks That
No Water be Wasted

The water and light committee
of Town Council requests that
those who use town water be as
sparing as possible in it's use until
the improvements to the system
can be installed. More. than usual
difficulty has been experienced
during the past week in providing
sufficient water for the town. One
Of the pumps was out Of commits
sion and was fixed only after con-
siderable trouble. With the pumps
in normal condition the water sup
ply is hardly adequate. With the
increased demands and the damage
to mains from heavy motor trucks
which pass in such large numbers
through the town and consequent
leaks, the tax ON the system is too
great.
There is no diminution in the
supply from the wells, the com.
mittee sttaes, but the town has out.
grown the system ana through nc
fault of any one, the expansion Of
the plant was delayed because OF
inability to secure materials anc
labor during the war period.
Bids for the extension of tht
system will be returned on june
Both and the work pushed a:
rapidly as possible after the con
tract is niaced.
