What Il is-The Reconstruction
Commission WIS created by the 1919
Legislature TO do an intensive piece
Of child welfare work for two years,
and to make recommendations for
executive and legislative action.
Why Il is--The creation Of the COM
mission was the result OF the feeling
that organized effort must be put
forth To save mothers and babies and
Dhildron OF Delaware and improve the
health Of these groups The need for
this was shown by the appalling
stattstlns recording that Delaware was
losing f25 babies for every thousand
born, while the United States at large
was losing only % out OF every thou
sand born, and that some states and
even New York City showed infant
mortality records below o.

Special to The Evening journal
DOVER, Del, May PA movement
has been started by many Horticul-
turists OF Delaware as well as OF
Maryland. to have the time Of the an
nual meeting Of the Peninsula Horti-
cultural Society, which is always the
second or third week in January
changed to the latter part Of Novem-
Der. The reason given for the change
is, that a greater and better display
OF fruits and vegetables can be shown.

Der rather than in January, as an

such cases by paying at least part
Of the teachers salary for a certain
length Of time.
Mr.. Lloyd remarked that it only
gives a teacher an opportunity when
feeling bad to go home and stay
there a month OF so.
II was stated that the code pro
vides that when applying for relief
because of illness she must acCom-
pany the application with a physi-
clans certificate.
Mr.. Richards, legislative attorney,
stated that a membfr had asked him
to offer an amendment TO give any
school district the right to say how
many grades IL shall have.
Mr.. dupont said no single room
school can hardly attempt 10 teach
above tbs sixth grade. II would be
impracticable, he Statad, as IL is hard
enough now TO get capable teachers
to teach sixth grades and il Two more
grades were added II would mean
some would have TO suffer.
lie pointed out that nearly all dis
tricts want a high school and that
while that is commendable yet 10
would mean a great deal more ex-
pense. With only one teacher in a
single room school. Mr.. dupont said
he did not see how it would be pos.
sible for a bacher TO teach more
than six grades and give good serv~
ice.
The election and nomination OF
county boards was discussed. Mr..
Lyons suggested an amendment that
not more than one of the three oOm-
Nv board members be elected from
any one senatorial district
Mr.. Walker pointed out that while
provision is made for only three
members Of a county board 10 be
elected there Is no restriction as 70
how many a voter can vote for. In
other words. he said, II D are nom
mated voter under the present
wording Of iie code could vote for all
OF them. This will be amended 10
limit the number 10 three that car
bs voted for by one voter.
