Farmers Picnic in Sussex

Sussex farmers are developing real
community spirit, and a very prac-
tical advantage is to follow to the
farmers themselves and to the State.
No one can read of the picnic held by
the Sussex County Grange and Farm
Bureau, with the speeches by author
tiles on planting and marketing crops,
and the other excellent items on the
program, without feeling sense of
progress, and also the expectation
that those of us who live in towns are
going to buy directly from the farmer
the good things which can be pro-
duced better by Delaware farmers on
Delaware soil than anywhere else.
1t is a smiling comment oftimes
that Sons of Delaware never tire of
extolling the virtues of the Diamond
State. And the boast is we'll founded
and being practically proved every
passing year. Rich as the State is
in its history and glorious deeds of
the past, the agricultural interests
and possibilities are just being real
lzed. The farmers are making his
tory every day. The Garden Spot of
our dreams is fast becoming reality.

whereby the State Board would be
willing to proceed with the work as
planned by them for the advancement
and upbuilding Of the schools of this
State.
"The State Board has no money
with which to extend or improve the
housing conditions of the public
schools of the State and it is only by
working in harmony with and solicit
ing the aid of the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association that anything
can be done looking to that end. l do
not know whether it was for lack of
action or action contrary to their
wishes that caused them to take this
step.
GAS far as l am concerned l hope
that some action will be taken. by the
State Board asking the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association to re-
consider this action as 1 feel the work
they are doing is a most wonderful
help to the educational and physical
condition of our schools. l do not
think the work of P. S. du Pont has
been appreciated to the extent it
should be.

modest in their suggestions and only
ask to be allowed to do the most good

MIR. Holloway Explains;
Says Files Do Not Contain
DR.. Odell's Statement

When Secretary Holloway of the
State Board of Education was asked
today about the first point in DR..
Joseph H. Odell's letter of August %,
concerning an offer to build rural
schools to the value of approximately
$3OO,OOO and present them completed
and equipped to the State Depart
ment of Education and certain special
school districts, he replied that he had
gone over his files and was unable to
find any such statement, but remem-
bered that DR.. Odell referred to a
tabulation in his office containing
list of schools which he had the board
of trustees of the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association pass upon be-
fore vacation. This list, however,
was never received by the State De-
partment, Mr.. Holloway declared.

ranged beforehand that a group from
one of the two lower counties was to
have the pleasure of putting him for
ward.
By this we do not mean to condone
the action of the Sussex delegates
who bolted. We condemn that action.
We believe that the majority should
rule in party MEETINGS just as it does
In general elections. This is certainly
not the time for defections from the
party's ranks. Instead of leaving the
committee room, the boilers should
have presented their side to the COM
mitteemen, made strong plea for
their points, and then accepted the
ruling of the majority.
But the Sussex countians did no
such thing. In their impetuousness
they shouted "lets Co." and 60 they
did.
There are many things which we
could say about this transaction, but
we believe that harmony is the first
need of the Democratic party, and we
are willing to do our share by omit
ting caustic criticisms which we could
level at various groups in the party
which participated in the meeting.
But we wish to suggest that Satur-
days debacle proves that Every
Evenings position on Democratic
party politics has been sound. We
would recall to mind the fact that
within the past few weeks we have
time and again called upon all con-
cerned to get together and agree upon
man who would be acceptable to ALL
Every Evenings advice went un-
needed; the steam roller was pulled
out, and at the last moment the
Sussex men threw a monkey wrench
into its works. :. Even the novice in
politics can recognize the moral in
Saturdays happenings.

We cannot proceed on this basis be-
cause our overhead charges would be
out of all proportion to the amount
of construction undertaken.
2. We have offered to continue the
work of pupil enrolment and turn
all of the results over to the State
without cost. Pupil enrolment ties
in very closely both with the attend
ance campaign and with medical and
dental examinations of school pupils.
For the last named-medical and
dental work-we have available S1S,-
900, which, with the amounts furnish
ed by the Child Welfare Commission,
the American Red Cross and the Del
ware Anti-Tuberculosis Society would
make it possible to safeguard the
health and improve the school pro-
gress of the pupils of the State. We
regard these three phases of work as
inter-related and that the value of
any one of them is greatly lessened if
all are not put into effect at once.
8. You have our written assurance
that everything we do is to be done
under the authority and subject to
the direction of the State Department
of Instruction, and that in no way do
we wish or contemplate any weaken

ly, there are certain things needed for
education progress in Delaware, and
your board does not possess the
money or facilities with which to do
them. We have offered what you
lack and we have offered it in SYM
pathetic and cooperative spirit, and
we have received little beyond delays
or rebuffs in return.
l am enclosing our check for $4,6O1
to the order of the State Department
of Public Instruction, the itemized
amounts being as follows:
For additional supervisors in the
white schools not provided for by the
Legislature, $3301; for additional
supervisors for colored schools per
our letter of August 3, 1921, $500;
balance due on FELTON, Academy to be
used for repairs to the building,
$1,000. Total S46O1.
With the receipt of this check I
must notify you that our relationships
are closed. Of course, you may make
formal appeal to the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association that
ne wrelationship be formed that I
will place such appeal before it's
members.
Our charter and deeds of trust do
not confine US to expenditures for
rural schools; at our discretion we
can divert our funds into other chan
nels, within the limits of the State,

At Dover yesterday Dr. H. V.
Holloway, secretary of the State
Board of Education to whom DR..
Odells letter was addressed, gave out
for publication copies Of two letters
which he said he had written to the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
tion and mailed to that association
Monday afternoon as a result of the
meeting of the State Board in Will
mington on Saturday. These letters
deal with matters that DR.. Odell
mentioned in his letter. One of DR..
Holloway's letters to the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association follows:
81 am pleased to inform you that
the State Board of Education at its
meeting in Wilmington Saturday
adopted unanimously the following
resolution:
"Resolved, That the State Board of
Education hereby approves the enroll
ment-attendance campaign that was
in effect for the year 1920-1921 and
requests that the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association continue it's
work in tabulating the results of such
investigation for the benefit of the
State Board of Education and under
its direction for the year 1921-1922."
Continuing, this letter says: 81 was
ot %nl %0 IL L.. Il
School Auxiliary Association for an
appropriation sufficient to cover the
salary and necessary travelling ex-
penses of four visiting teachers, one
for New Castle county, one for Kent
county, and two for Sussex county,
who should assist the schools of the
State as such and by getting the find
ings of the School Auxiliary Associa-
tion in regard to attendance before
the people of the respective school
districts"
In the second letter, DR.. Holloway
said the shortness of time at the
meeting last Saturday prevented the
State Board of Education from tax
ing up the plans relative to medical
inspection in the schools. He added, |
however, that since the meeting he
and DR.. Thomas R. Brown, president
of the State Board, had gone over
his report (evidently meaning a re-
port from the School Auxiliary Asso-
ciation) and that the things they de-
sired had been made possible by the
various organizations mentioned in
the report. The letter suggested
some follow-up work in this line in
Kent county.
When DR.. Odell's letter was brought
to the attention of Ellwood Souder, a
of the State Board of Educa-
ton, he said: 81 was chagrined to
read that they have had any occasion
to sever their connection with the
State Board of Education. AS far as
personally am concerned, 1 am and
have always been willing to sit up all
night, if necessary, in order, to bring
