~''The Delaware State Teachers Asso-
citation hereby reiteratcs it's commission
to program of service, as stated last
year, namely, service to teachers, service
to the profession, service to the state,
Its supreme purpose Is the welfare oi the
children of Delaware" ;"
For the accomplishment OF this pro-
gram it rcffiarms its allegiance to the
following principles;
To have competent, well-traned
teacher is the right Of every child in the
State.
1t is the business of the State to pro
vide equal educational opportunity to
every child within its borders, regard
less of his place of residence.
The importance of teaching demand.
the highest effort on the part OF thos'
engaged therein, not only that stand
ards of efficiency may be increased, bu
also that teaching may be recognized a
a profession in our State.
The conservation of health is the hrs
consideration of every educational pro
gram. To this end, we urge allegianc
to the program of Health Education ant
pledge our support to the agencies pro
viding medical inspection and nursln
and dental service for school children.
Ability to work with the hands as wei
as to think the with head is so deslrabi
that We commend the efforts towar
prevocational work that have been IN
stituted in this State.
The consolidation of small rura
schools, where practicable, is the solu
ton of most of the. problems of rura
education. This is particularly true y
cases where good highways are main
tanned.
Adequate supervision of rural school
is Indispensable TO the efficiency ant
should be maintained solely by tn
State.
We view with regret the shortening G
the Compulsory School Period, am
commend the work of the Delawar
School Auxiliary Association in collect
/, ! rta -
to better school attendance.
1t is the duty of every communit,
to see that the teachers are provided wit
comfortable homes.
Ample provision should be made fo
the care of teachers who have spcn
their lives in the service, by the pre-
vision on the part of the State of a II,
tirement Fund. based on sound actuari'
. principles, and we strongly urge upo
a the next General Assembly the neces IT
of providing adequate legislation there
for.
Maintenance of membership in
local Teachers Association in the Stat
Teachers Association, and IN II
National Education Association shouI
be the duty of every teacher in the Stat
= A larger place in the educational inte
70 ests of the National should be taken /
the Federal Government, and larg
support should be granted from tn
c source for the education Of all the.peopl
To this end we recommend the passal
of the Towner-Sterling Bill, now pen
> ing in Congress, or such modlhcatiC
thereof as shall be consistent with Il
J. supreme position which education shou
: hold in our National life, and herei
y request our Senators and Represent
/ tive to give this or A SIMILAR mcasul
the careful consideration which the su
lect merits.
We believe the establishment OF
code of professional ethics for the teac
ers of this State will contribute to {
harmonious working OF our education
system, and therefore recommend tn
the president of this Association appoi
committee for the drafting of such
code to be presented at our next annu
meeting.
We heartily commend the moveme
for the organization Of Home and Scho
Associations in the State, and pled
= our continued support TO the same.
