NEWSPAPER
MEN ENTERTAINED
SUPERINTENDENT HOLLOWAY GIVES DINNER AT
REHOBOTH


81 hate that man" said Charles
Lamb to Coleridge. "Why," replied
Coleridge, 81 didn't know you were
acquainted with him. He is first
rate fellow" DON'T" replied
Charles, eff I did l wouldn't hate
him."
This incident told by Superinten-
dent Holloway to the newspaper men
at the dinner given them at Rehoboth
on Saturday gives a suggestion that
prompted the dinner. In order that
Education in Delaware and those di-
recting it might have the benefit of
constructive criticism based on per-
sonal observation and contact, Super
intendent Holloway invited the Press
eat with him. He asked frankly
for their support and welcomed their
comments. He expects criticism but
wants it based on facts of the present
rather than acquired prejudices OF
the past. Acquaintance gives appre-
citation of point of view.
The dinner was given at the Bel
haven, Rehoboth, to representatives
of the Delaware Press and the State
Board of Education.

Shows Disadvantages
of Country Schools

Disadvantages of the country
school child in comparison with the
city trained children was pointed out
by Professor Mabel Carney of CO.
lumbia University, following a series
of conferences with country school
superintendents from all over the ma
ton.
almost half the children of the
United States, that is 100000, at
tend one and two teacher rural
schools in buildings of the box-car
type" Prof. Carney said. "Many of
these buildings are neglected beyond
description.
"Their school term averages 1877
days year as against 1877 days
year for city children. The average
daily attendance for city school chill
dren is 80 per cent, while for country
children it is 65 per cent.
"All this is greatly complicated by
the question of child labor on the
farm. 1t is estimated that one million
and a half of country children are
engaged in farm labor to their detri-
ment and kept out of school. For this
reason illiteracy is twice as great in
rural as in urban territory"
Prof. Carney is specialist on the
Rural School problem and has made
surveys in several states of coun-
try school conditions. She has visit
ed and is we'll acquainted with Della
ware conditions.

Two new 1O-inch wells 60 feet deep
were the first operation of construc-

10000 gallons capacity. Operating
these wells are 2 centrifugal pumps

from the wells to the cistern. The
water in the cistern itself is beau

Following this two other similar

These pumps are electrically con-

pumps and 2 65-horse power motor:
for the forcing of water to the stand
