management of all the free schools Of
the State, we meet some very import
ant problems" says the Milford
Chronicle. Problems which must be
solved by the State Board of Educa-
ton, the Boards of Education of the
Special School Districts and the peo-
pie themselves.
"The new school law is so far be-
yond any aim educators who desired
to advance public school education in
Delaware, that it seems necessary to
study and act carefully that nothing
serious shall disarrange its workings.
After a careful consideration of the
new laws, it seems that the legislature
has granted great latitude to the State
Board of Education to administer the
school laws with ample safeguard of
the expenditure of more than two mill
lions of money for public school edu-
cation in Delaware each year.
"The awakened realization of the
need for many large school buildings,
in all parts of the state, has already
caused three or four communities to
provide for buildings which at first
seem to be so large and costly, that
the communities will be swamped to
maintain them. Have no fear for this.
Churches are built which cost many
thousands of dollars, and the church
people pay for them. If this is true
of churches, then it is an easy matter
for all the people to build and support
the largest and most modern system
of public schools. We shall see the
rural schools equipped for starting ir
smaller children, whfie the great cen.
tres throughout the rural counties a:
well as the towns, will see large
handsome and highly equipped schoo
structures, to which the children will
be delivered daily, scattered and in us'
for training the children as we'll as ed
ucating them through study. Physi
cal training for every child in TIL
schools of Delaware will be an accom-
plished fact. Domestic Science train
ing will make better homes for all th
people. Manual training will develol
mel and women capable to so manag
their affairs that intelligent assistanc
will bring the doubling of producing
power. Play grounds at every schoo
with trained teachers to instruct tn
children how to exercise the bod
through play and acrobatic work, eve
for the little ones, will develop physi
cally a future citizenship, of whic
Delawareans of the next decade wi
be proud.
"Do we believe this? Yes. 1t
no dream, but even now it is GROWN
into actual fact through the startin
of the work in the more advanced pull
lie schools.
"The upheaval and agitation of tn
school question which was at high fey
er stage for two years, has accom-
plished what could not have been a,
complished without it through legi
lation, only by>this great agitation {
the free school question. The burdC
