STATE SCHOOLS TO AID FRANCE
Local Sentiment in Each Community
to be Agitated to Help Build Two
High School Buildings in France

Under the direction of the French
Restoration Fund, which numbers on
It's committee many of the most prom
inent representatives of France and
America, it has been proposed to pre-
sent Marshal Foch, on his coming vis-
1t to this country, with a large and
beautiful medal, and with a fund col
lected by the school children of this
country to be used in building two sup
erb High School in the devastated re-
gion of France, to be known as the
Observation-Disclosures" and the
och-Pershing" High Schools. Dupli-
Gates of the medals are also to be pre-
sented to President Harding and TO
General Pershing. This project COM
mends itself at once as worth while
manne rof showing our friendly senti-
ments toward our noble ally in the
war. 1t music prove an inspiration
and blessing to the war-torn section
in which 5000 schools were ruthlessly
demolished. H. V. Holloway, of Do
yer, State Superintendent of Public
instruction in boosting this worthy
campaign says: ain order that we OF
Delaware may not be behind our sis

troops under Lafayette, and the

agree. So one is delighted to learn
that the energetic subcommittee
have even thus early fixed upon sew
eral excellent recommendations
'The free employment bureau,
whose adoption by all cities of $4,000
or more is urged, and which Whining
ton is to have at once, should be a
permanent institution. In the inter
ludes of high prosperity it is needed,
too, for the people out of work who
hopefully seek out the private agen-
cies in the endeavor to get on their feet
are the very ones who are too sensi-
tive to claim help of charities. A
feeless employment service, on the
other hand, they would use.
"Only an undue slende1ness of the
treasury should hinder State, county
or city, at time like this, from put
ting through long contemplated i'm
provements, or even authorizing new
ones for the benefit of citizens both
rich and poor-the former gaining
convenience and the latter jobs. New
roads should be built, old ones made
better. Sanitary works should be
overhauled or expanded. School
grounds and buildings should be i'm
proved, and new schools should be
built.
Concerning a third recommends
ton of the conference committees
there may be more of question. AL
though it is infinitely better that many
should have some work at less pa!
than that the few should keep thei
jobs at the old wages, yet the wage
of good many workers, halved, ar,
apt to be sadly insufficient to suppor
family, and in such cases the ancien
proverb about the loaf is cold comfort
AS an emergency measure, the half
time system for large employers ha
"a thousand merits. We have said i
previous discussion that dreaC
growing into hopelessness, double
the terrible hardships of unemplOy
ment, breaking down the worker
self-respect, injuring his future alon
with his today. The man who
keeping on at his old job and "manag
ing somehow" on less wages for
time is a far less pitiable creatul
than the hunter of free meal lines"

Now that the prospect of ever hav-
a town sprinkler seems remote, why
not start better system of cleaning
streets. In Newark, this state, and in
many towns and cities, street cleaning
is done early in the morning before
traffic begins to stir. This daily clean
ing keeps the streets in good condi-
ton and makes a sprinkler unneces-
sary. Since Council must protect its
tarvia streets by not allowing a too
free use of water, it would seem that
a systematic plan of daily cleaning
should be the next best thing. Let US
hope Council will give this matter
better and more thorough attention.

In the appointment of Col. George

partment, Governor Denney has made
an excellent choice. Col. Sparks was
a member of the Revenue and Taxa
tion Commission which, after much
study and investigation, prepared a
report that led to the reform of Della
wares taxation system. His work on
that commission and his public service
generally have made him one of the
best-informed men in the State on

enforcement of the law are the two
qualities that are required in the ad-
ministration of the State Tax Depart
ment. Col. Sparks, no doubt, may be
depended upon to conduct the depart
ment in such a manner as to satisfy
every citizen that the burdens of the
State tax are being imposed equitably

By remarkable vote the German
Reichstag has ratified the treaty Of
peace between the United States and
Germany. Only the Communists, who
are considerable in number voted
against ratification. An overwhelm-
ing majority favored it.
The opposition of the Communists
was, of course, expected. But lined
up for the treaty were the junker ele-
inent and the moderate and radical
parties. If there was any intention to
embarrass the Ebert government those
opposed to it concluded that the op-
portunity was not afforded by the
treaty of peace. Indeed, there ap-
pears to have been far less opposition
than was manifested in Germany
when the regular treaty with the Al
lies was ratified. 1t is satisfactory all
around to know that the Reichsta2
has acted in good faith. The only
thing left now is for the United State;

At last a movement from an unex-

wives are going ol { strike, that is,

Debaucheries, lawlessness and cor
ruption, rivaling those which preceded
the fall of Rome, are present in this
nation, according to DIR. Joseph Kraus-
kopf, in a Rosh Hshonash sermon at
the Temple Kenseth Israel, Broad and
Columbia avenue, Philadelphia, on the
occasion of the Jewish New Year. DR..
Krauskopf fayed the Dempsey-Car-
pentier prize fight and deplored the
Arbuckle case as illustrations of the
dangers of too great prosperity. Cele-
brating the dawn of the Jewish year
5,682, Dr. Krauskopf said there was
no cause for alarm over evidences of
lesser prosperity, which really is the
greater blessing. In part he said:
at is not because of lesser business
prosperity that we should be appre-
hensive of the future, but because of
our lesser religion. In this fear the
preacher stands not alone. The vices
and crimes and corruptions that have
been rampant in our midst for some
time have given rise to loud outcries
of alarm, even among people who have
hitherto been regarded furthest re-
moved from the profession of preach
er.
"We knew of immoralities, lawless-
ness, corruption, crime, fostering on
the very surface of even our so-called
good society, that fully rival those
that preceded the decline and fall of
Rome, OF that led on the revolution of
France. We know that divorce suits
literally swamp our courts, that the
martial tie for constantly increasing
numbers has lost its sanctity, that life
and property have ceased to be invol-
able, that corruption honeycombs oui
politics.
"We have lived to see a revival Of
the gladiatorial shows of ancient
Rome, brutal, bloody prize fight, il
which one man knocked another sense
less, for an enormous sum of money

mission price as high as $50 each, at

and debaucheries that would hav
seemed incredible before the Rosco

"We have lived to see hundreds
thousands of laboring people walkir
in idleness, when there is plenty
work awaiting them, if they wou
but listen to reason, and accept wal
commensurate with the paying-pow
of the people.
"Our moral decline antedates t

ing to unprecedented prosperity, pc
