SEAF0RD SCHOOLS
NEED MORE MONEY

Special to The Evening Journal.
SEAFORD. Del, June 1S.-The
Seaford special school district is
confronted with a serious problem
in school finances for another
year. according to Prof. II. Z. Stahl,
superintendent. He says the Leg
islature failed to appropriate enough
money to administer the schools
successfully for the year 1921-22
The boys and girls Of school age who
attend the Seaford school are worth
more than factories. stores and real
estate in Soaford Special School

reducing her debt by more than
two-thirds of the total. II also
made a careful study of the re-
Ources with which Germany could
)ay."
While Tardieu looks to America
and Great Britain to help France en-
force the collection of reparations,
he makes this statment, which has
particular significance, because Of
the various phases of the Japanese
and Irish questions:
Great Britain needs France as an
element Of stability and restraint in
world politics. especially-and say
it plainly-in Anglo-American rela-
tions.
yet how can we overlook that
often the past weighing upon the
present makes difficult the most es-
sential collaborations2 How can
we overlook that friction which may
arise between dominions and the
United States? How can we over
look that in the modern world ma
terial and moral effects of economic
struggles cannot be foreseen?
"And an economic struggle is
even now engaged in between the
two great branches Of the Anglo
Saxon race. British and American
shipyards are racing TO see which
can build most. In the markets Of
South America and Of the Far East
British and American firms are
struggling for supremacy.
For this healthy competition 10
remain a healthy stimulus and not
become a danger, Great Britain and
America both need France as con-
Meeting link and cempensator."
OF personal relations between Will
son, Lloyd George and Clemenceau
at the peace conference Tardieu says:
Despite Emergencies of opinion,
the personal relations between the
three men during those 40 days new
er ceased to be sincere. calm and
afectionate. May their fellow coun-
trymen never for get1t!'

confidence that organization Of the
new board would be dominated BY
the progressive membership. As
there are only seven members OF the
board, the absence of Mr.. Souder
would leave the body three to three
should matters come to a SHOW
down" with .he "old guard" element.
so that the latter would be helpless
to accomplish anything.
However, it is thought that
George Rommel Dr. John Palmer.
and DIR. Conweil Banton. the three
"Old Guardsmen," will be inclined
to work in harmony with the plans
Of the progressive majority to per-
feet an Organization satisfactory TO
all members OF the board.
Question again has been raised 10
the eligibility OF Mr.. Souder to hold
membership on both the State Board
of Education and the neA city
board. As he announced through
The Evening Journal, in event ne
shall have to drop his membership
in one body. he will retire from the
State Board and stand by the city
body. However. it is considered un-
likely that he will be obliged 10
retire at all.
The question hinges upon whether
the new State Board will have "au-
thority'' over the new City Board.
Section one Of the School Laws for
1921. instituting the new State
Board. provides for the qualifica-
tions Of its members in the follow
ing terms:
''The members OF the Board shall
be appointed solely because of their
character and fitness. but no person
shall be appointed to the Board
who is in any way subject to its au-
thority."
According to the Interpretation
placed upon this section by Governor
Denney and his advisors, while the
new State Board must apportion
and appropriate funds for the
schools Of Wilmington. it will have
no power or authority over the local
board whatever.
Hence, Mr.. Souder does not come
under the authority of the State
Board in any sense Of the word
The fact that Wilmington never
has embraced the School Code also
is cited as showing that the city does
not come within the jurisdiction Of
the state body.
A meeting OF the retiring State
Board Of Education will be held at
1890 o'clock, standard time, on Mon
day, in the State House at Dover. It
is expected IL will be the last ses-
sion Of the retiring body, unless
some unlooked-for emergency should
arise necessitating the calling OF a
special meeting before July 1.
Routine matters will be cleared
up thanks voted to persons or or
ganizations which have assisted the
board in its duties, and possibly
some recommendations made to the
new board, such as will be OF bene-
fit to the school system Of the State
and the thousands Of children which
come under ito
