In room devoid Of furniture and
evidencing the worst kind Of want
and privation he found three small
children, the eldest hardly five years
Of age There were about six pigeons
| in the same room and elso n rat. The
rat was eating the corn that had been
thrown on the floor for the birds.
. There was no ono about the prem
iscs 20 look after the children. Mr.
Green thought their mother or father
might have been out on a brief triu
and left, but later returned 10 talk
/ to them. He found the three little
ones still alone. the pigeons huddled
i'm a corner afraid Of the rat and the
rat still gnawing away at the corr
! intended for the pigeons.
The children were too small to toll
the officer anything about themselves
or their parents or who looked after
them and he had to leave. He. Is still
working on the case and trying tc
locate the people in whose care the
] children are supposed to be. In the
meantime he has seen to IL that tn.

2,71O CHILDREN ON
PART TIME IN SCHOOLS
Unusually Large Total Used as
Argument for Erection of
More Buildings.

Figures Just compiled and now on
file in the office OF David A. Ward,
superintendent of the public schools
OF this city, show that out Of a total
of 1871 children who have registered
I'm the public schools in Wilmington
about 2,7I0 are on the platoon or part
time system. In other words, nearly
900 boys and girls are unable to find
adequate Accommodations in the schools
and are compelled to attend on part
time in order that all of them may
find places for instruction.
In this connection II is being urged
that the Board OF Education take inn
mediate steps for the building of ad-
ditional schools and by so doing not
only provide Accommodations for all the
children but also provide work for the
many unemployed men in the city
and thereby relieve the present ser
ious condition which has has been
brought about by the large number OF
bread winners who are out OF work
and who are facing the advent Of
winter with grave forebodings.
A man intensely interested In both
projects but who was reluctant to-
day TO permit the nse OF his name m
connection with the matter pointed
out that the parents of nearly 5.oe0
children on part time in the schools
are paying fun school taxes for the
education OF their boys and girls and
that in paying these taxes they right
fully expect their children 70 have the
fun Accommodations for which they ex-
pend their funds. In other words a
parent paying his school taxes wants
his boy ar girl to be permitted to at
tend the schools for the fun session
each day on the FIVE school days OF
the week and has good grounds to
object to the child's being compelled
TO attend only on part time because
there are not enough school build
ings.
1t was pointed out that this part
time, while necessary under existing
conditions, retards the child's educa.
tional progress and if continued in.
definitely viii eventually amount to /;
matter of two years or more in tn,
course of their public school educa
ton. This could be relieved. it wal
stated by the building of additiona
schools so that every boy and gir
could attend full session all the time
BY building the additional schools nov
it was further pointed out the Boar,
OF Education would be going a loni
way to relieve the unemployment
situation and it is believed would b
sustained in such a decision by publi
sentiment generally, in the estima
tion of those who have given the mat
ter much thought.
