COUNTY TO PAY
EDUCATION BILL
342 Children From Rural
Districts Study in City
Schools
WON'T DISPENSE
WITH BUS SERVICE

Arrangements for payment by the
New Castle County Board of Educa-
tion for tuition given children Of the
county in the public schools Of the
city were made at a conference yes
terday afternoon.
The conference was held in the
rooms Of the county board in the
Public Building and was attended
by Dr. Clifford J. Scott, superintend-
ent Of the city schools; NJ Howard
Jester. secretary Of the City Board:
George b. Medill. president Of the
County Board. and Wilbur II. Jump,
county superintendent.
There now are 2O1 pupils from the
county attending the Wilmington
High School. and 141 receiving in
struction in the city grammar
schools, or a total Of 342. Payment
is made by the county at the rate of
$50 for each High School pupil and
$50 for each grammar school pupil.
The arrangement, superintendent
Jump said today. was Of mutual ben
eft. The county has no high school
IN the vicinity of Wilmington, and a
number of its grammar schools are
overcrowded. The tuition rates arc
figured at cost.
In addition to paying for the tuf-
ton of rural pupils. the county
board also provides for their trans
portation, individually. by trolley or
train, and not by the county buses.
The buses are used entirely for
transporting rural pupils to and
from their homes and the various
consolidated schools of the county.
A published statement that the
County Board intends selling its
motor buses was denied by Mr.
Jump as ridiculous misstatement
OF fact"

real friendship exists between q per-
sons two personalities; sometimes
the contrary, which explains the rea-
son for a man hating himself"

waking States" he says. the more
