DAVID A. WARD.

The Board of Education has Very
wisely given David A. Ward. the new
superintendent of schools. almost un-
limited authority in conducting the
affairs Of our schools. This is only
right. for IL we expect an efficient adj
lninistration. we must place in the
superintendent's hands the means
and in this case the means is carte
blanche 10 administer his. department

best. Z The board. by vesting this au-
thorIty in Mr.. Ward. SO much as serves
notice upon all concerned that the
school, system lis to remain out of poll
tics. which news will be pleasing to
those who have at heart the efficiency
Of the schools.
We like the manner in which Mr..
Ward accepted the authority given
him. Said he in part, TO the board
members:
Ability to render efficient service
is the only basis on which appoint
ments can be made in any department
OF the schools / might say. gentle
men, that moral rectitude is a prime
essential for rendering efficient SER
vice in the schools. This. applies
equally in every department. since
all employees OF the school system
must come in contact with the chill
dren, either directly or indirectly. in
school or out OF school. Hence, COM
rnendable conduct is vital matter for
consideration either in the appoint
ment or retention of employees"
That is a confession Of faith which
receives the endorsement OF all persons
who realize the influence of good and
evil over the plastic minds of chill
dren. We believe that Mr.. Ward will
ind a school personnel, from jani-
tors to principals, above the average
both from the standpoint of morals
and efficiency. And we may depend
upon him to see that ii remains So
Mr.. Ward rightly says that ''moral
rectrude is prime essential for rem
dering efficient service in the schools .a
Just as one bad apple will spoil
barrel of good ones. If we may use
honely illustration. just so will one
improper school employe have a detri-
mental influence upon every child, an
be easily eradicated.

this Delaware product. and the ad-

pay for itself hundred fold and bring
to Delaware farmers and growers a

OF tho country to absorb all tho can

bination OF qualities. that make the
cantaloupes from this State so vastly
superior to all others of the species.
Delaware once grew the finest and
best peaches that ever ripened under
Gods blue skies. but she failed to make
the most OF her opportunities in that
direction either in marketing or adj.

Many farmers in the State who
have brought their melons TO the at

for them this season and this assures
a profit almost greater. all things con-
sidered. than any other crop grown
out of Dclawsres splendid soil.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
 WILL BE CONTINUED

OLYMPIA, Wash, April ? (by As. sociated Press) ).-School boys of the state of Washington will continue to receive physical education because one boy has a large chest expansion.
 A bill to abolish physical training was passed by the lower house of the recent Washington legislature and it looked as if it would pass the senate. When it came up, Senator D. V. Northland of Yakima clinched his argument against it by declaring his son has two and one half inch chest expansion due to gymnastic training in the public schools. The bill was defeated.
