The Army

Back to pre-war pay is . posi-
bility which may be faced by Army
officers before another twelvemonth
will have passed. The increase in
officers pay, which occurred in 1919,
will be remembered as only tempo
rary, so that by next July the ques-
tion of a reduction or a continua-
tion of the present pay of officers
will have been settled.
While a reduction in pay would
today prove a hardship to many OF
ficers, it is admitted that the pay
schedule as it now exists might be
more consistently rearranged. For
example: There are young west

ton cluster around the old walls.
The dead Of yesterday are buried

architecture reflects the sentiments
surrounding it. But there is a New
St. James-the spirit Of youth. That
the Institution may do in this day
what yesterday inspired-a new

worthy of their fathers, those living

there is no sermon in the country.

The party left two weeks ago last

dressed the Levy Court of this county
yesterday relative to the outstanding
school taxes now unpaid. He explain
ed that he had addressed the Levy
Courts of Kent and Sussex counties
on the same subject. The courts he
said had power to collect these
moneys.
The State Board, DR.. Holloway,
said had no money at this time and
it was necessary to collect the out
standing taxes in order to pay bills.
Commissioner Ball, who is school
attention of the court to the school
could purchase needed desks. Dr.
Holloway replied that $50 teacher
was the amount allowed for replace.
ments and repairs, and that: if the
county collected the taxes the Board
would have sufficient funds to carry
on it's work. The outstanding taxes
in New Castle county, he said
amount to $4,000, and in Kent
county to $4,000. The outstanding
bills of the board, the doctor said
amounted to about $4,000.
Commissioner Buckson called th'
attention ofthe court to the schoo

HIGH SCHOOL
'A1F ATHLETICS
COACH MCDONALD WHIP
PING TEAM INTO SHAPE

Although working under handi-
cap owing to injuries and the fact of
a number Of prospective varsity men
quitting after few days of practice,
Coach Mcdonald of the Newark High
School football squad is making good
headway in his work of shaping up
team.
Coach Mcdonald has hard pro-
position ahead of him this year as
Newark meets Wilmington High in
the opening game of the season in
Wilmington on Saturday, October l.
To get team in shape for this test
is going to mean much hard work
but the boys out for the team seem to
realize this fact and have been prac-
ticing faithfully!
There were a number of disap-
pointments right at the beginning
when the first practice was called. TO
begin with some of the best men of
last years team graduated in June
and did not return. Of course that
was known, but the fact that Stafford
and Walton, two of the 1920 varsity
linemen would not return was not
known until school opened. The next
hard luck that hit the squad was G.
Cornog quitting school after coming
out for practice few days. He also
had played on the varsity last year
This took away with the graduates
most of the 1920 varsity but hard
luck still followed the squad.
The next hard luck that struck the
squad was injuries TO Herbert Hen
ming who was being drilled for quar-
ter back and to Buckingham, whf
broke his collar bone. Paradee ane
Wells, two youngsters who came tt
Newark from other high schools cam'
out early and looked to be likely ma
terial but on top of all the other hare
luck they suddenly quit the squad ant
decided not to make try for tn
game.
Coach Mcdonald deserves muc'
credit under the circumstances Ior III
, manner in which he has stayed O
the job of trying to develop tear
and the indications now are that n
will turn out creditable combinatio
: notwithstanding all the handicaps.

STUDENTS ENROLL
AT UNIVERSITY
ENGINEERING AND ARTS
AND SCIENCE DEPART
MENTS SHOW IN
CREASE

Engineering continues to be the
most popular course at the University
of Delaware judging from the early
registration. This conclusion is de-
termined from an analysis of the 85
Freshmen who were favorably passed
on by the faculty at special meeting
held on Monday.
The faculty at it's meeting on Mon
day admitted 85 Freshmen for the
Freshman elias this year. Of this
number 38 have registered in the
various engineering courses as fol-
lows: Civil engineering, 12; cleo
trical, 10; mechanical, 6; chemical, B,
and 5 not specified, making total of
38.
The Arts and Science course, how
ever, is also popular as 35 of those
admitted by the faculty on Monday
have registered for that course. There
in some disappointment under all the
circumstances from the fact that only
five of the 85 students who were Of
ficially admitted at that time had
specified agriculture. Five other new
students failed to specify what course
they would take up.
This number, 85, however does not
mean that the Freshman class will be
limited to only 85 as final examina'
tions for entrance were held yester
day and today and the class at the
end of the week may be more thar
100.
In addition to the IS admitted, ap
} plications had been received earl!
, this week from about 35 others who's
= credentials had not been passed on
not including those who took the ex
aminations yesterday or today. Thi
: year the entrance requirements are L
units instead of IA as specified las
4 year, but as the standard high school
e of the state have also raised thei
n standards to Is units this should no
a make great deal of difference.
