gigantic project for the better care

definite steps toword this end were
taken yesterday afternoon at a con-
ference held between the members OF
the city board. of the State Board OF
Education and of the Delaware State
School Auxiliary and as a result of
this meeting there was developed a
spirit of cooperation which all con-
cerned admit will be OF the greatest
value and assistance to the general
work throughout the state in con-
nection with the aim to improve the
schools generally.
After discussing the subject at some
length DR.. Victor ID. Washburn moved
