SCHOOL CONDITIONS BAD
Rev. Carlisle L. Hubbard, of Whining
ton Flags 'Stingy Taxpayers Who
Bend Politicians to Their Will

Bend Politicians to Their Will
Conditions in the public schools of
Wilmington and the State were des-
cribed as shameful" by Rev. Carlisle
l.. Hubbard in the course of a sermon
on righteous America" delivered for
the special benefit of about 125 MEM
bers of the Patriotic Order Sons of
America, at St. PauPs M. E. Church.
Wilmington, Sunday night. He de-
clared that appropriations that were
needed just to do the necessary things
for the public schools, are cut in half,
"just because our politicians bend to
the will of 'stingy taxpayers
"The only way to get rid of stin-
gy taxpayer" he said, ''is to kill him."
"No, l don't mean it just that way"
he added, 81 guess we will just have to
let him die a natural DEATH"
How are you going to handle this
question on the stingy taxpayer" he
asked.
"Did you ever think that when. you
vote against a better school, you are
voting for bigger tax? No nation
of illiterates can be great; no nation
of illiterates can be strong; no nation
of illiterates can be free. A tyrant
can swing his whip on the backs Of
an illiterate people"
"The public school SYSTEM" he said,
"is the foundation stone of moral
character and greatness, and the only
hope for the future of America. Will
mington City Council and the Legisla-
ture, he stated, Topped off about so
per cent. of the appropriations for
public schools because they were
"afraid the stingy taxpayers will put
up howl"
Referring to the coming election for
new school boards, DR.. Hubbard de-
clared the people should elect the men
and women best equipped to run the
schools for the next year. He said
the people should insist that Whining
ton City Council and the State Legis-
lature give the public schools all the
money they need. He described the
pay of the teachers as a miserable
pittance" compared with the qualifica-
tions necessary as part of the equip
ment of an efficient teacher.
DIR. Hubbard, in opening his sermon
declared that america can read hel
history without blushing," but "wher
the War Department published its lis
of slackers, it should have published
list of the profteers." "The onl!
trouble is" he said, "Where would the!
get the paper?"
