Diversion of School
Boards Funds
MERELY ASKING FOR
BIDS NOW, HE SAYS

"T'he Wilmington Board OF Educa-
tion has no intention Of using any
OF the funds appropriated for
plumbing and sanitation in the pub
lie schools for the purchase Of grafo-
nolas and pianos" says George
Rommell. Sr, president OF the board.
He added that the discussion and
protests against the diversion OF the
boards funds are premature"
When asked why he consd-
cred such discussion prema-
ture, in view of the motion passed
by the Board to ask for bids for
these musical instruments. when the
only funds at the disposal of the
Board were those remaining TO the
credit of the Fuel and Janitors' ac-
count. Mr. Rommel said; Il think
It was premature because the ques-
ton as to where the funds would
come from, is a matter we would
have TO thresh out at our next
meeting. after bids have been re-
ceived.
LAS far as I know" Mr.. Rommel
said no such transfer has been
made. or will be made"
II have been quoted" he said, las
having said that the sum OF $4,000
would have no affect upon the tax
rate. This is not true, as there is
now only the sum OF $4,000 remain
ing to the credit OF the fuel and jan
itors account" This Mr. Rommel
stated. will all be required for the
completion OF the plumbing and san
itary work for which it was appro-
priatcd before the expiration os the
current year.

ley. member OF the board. before

that he held sworn aflidavits show
ing that the portable pianos the
board proposes purchasing have been
stored for several months. waiting

said would also be threshcd out al

his only capital, he started out to
win his way in the world. The
first thing that the young graduate
needed was money. He obtained
the situation of instructor in one
of the public schools in Worcester,
which was then a town of only a
few hundred people. His ardent,
intense nature found school teach
ing a slow business at best. In
some Of his moods he was heartily
sick of it, he felt the stir Of larger
ambitions; he thirsted for a wider
sphere Of action. While teaching
school young Adams also studied
law. When he was admitted to the
practice of law he declared with
firm resolution never to commit
any meanness OF injustice in the
practice Of the law. Adams de-
voted himself to his profession
with great vigor and rose rapidly
in public esteem. The young law
yer eagerly espoused the cause Of
the Colonists when the British
Government began its career Of
aggression upon them. He de-
nounced the Stamp Act and other
measures Of taxation. He soon
became a leading advocate of in
dependence, and throughout the
Revolutionary War, devoted his
great talents to the interests Of
the Colonists. He became one Of
the early builders of the Republic
and succeeded Washington to the

TOHN ADAMS was born in the
present town of Quincy, Massa-
y chusetts. His father was a
farmer of moderate means, a
worthy, industrious man, toiling
early and late for the very frugal
support which such labor could fur
nish his family. The father was
anxious that his son should have
a good education and enter a pro-
fession, but John Adams was not
fond Of his books. He liked out
door life more than the seclusion Of
the study. When the son was about
fourteen years Of age, the father
insisted that he must decide what
business he intended to follow.
One evening the son declared he
wished TO become a farmer. The
next morning at an early hour,
John was with his hoe in the field.
After several days Of hard labor
John decided to go back to his
books. There was a very good
school in the town and young
Adams laid aside his hoe for the
grammar. Later he entered Har-
ward College, and it was a great
effort for his father to support
him while there for he found it
necessary to add to his labors as a
farmer the occupation Of a shoe
maker TO meet the expenses Of the
household. When John graduated
at twenty years Of age, he consid-
cred he had received all the sup
port he could expect from his
father; and, with his education as
