of $4,000 and Fine
Prospects
p. S. DUPONT GIVES
SUBSTANTIALAID

ing OF the state College for Coiorci
Students. located near Dover. issued
today by the Delaware School Aux
iliary. Association. shows that the
institution has total assets OF over
$4,000
This statement Is believed to be
the first ever called to the attention
Of the public In issuing it DR.. JOS
eph II. Odell, president Of the Auxil-
larry, made the following explana-
tion concerning the college 'itself
and its work;
1T is a matter OF surprise to a
great many well-informed citizens
Of Delaware that there is a State in
stitution for colored children situ-
ated near Dover While the college
has been in existence for many
years state appropriations have not
been sufficiently large to put the
buildings in good condition and also
carry on the educational work.
1T was at the request Of the
Federal government through Or. r.
p. Claxton. Of the Bureau Of Edu-
cation. that the Delaware School
Auxiliary Association began to in
terest itself in the institution. Every
thing that Is being done there Is
with the approval OF the board OF
trustees appointed by the Governor.
OF which Henry p. Cannon OF
Bridgeville Is the president.
The Delaware School Auxiliary
Association has recently completed
a sewage system and a disposal
plant that will take care OF any IA
3 ture growth in the college. II has
also renovated all OF the existing
buildings. putting in adequate sani-
! itary arrangements. A new class
I building is In course OF construction
and p. s. DUPONT is refurnishing all
the bedrooms and sitting rooms
throughout.
Perhaps It is general knowledse
that enrolment at the college runs
somewhat over 100 students and
that they have an academic cours,
as well as vocational subjects as az.
riculture. domestic science and me-
chanical arts.
1T is doubtful. however. whethe
the financial standing Of the col
lege has ever been called to the at
tention OF the general public. Johi
b. Hutton. its treasurer. reports tina
for the fiscal year ending July
1921. the schools assets total owe
$4,000. During the twelve month
OF the fiscal year it received an in
come Of $4,000. and with very care
ful management showed only a smal
4 ~ mT
period. Mr.. Hutton reports the ea
penses OF the year as follows.
Farm department. S10.292.Sc
educational department. $13,449.5-
boarding, s15,522.72.
The deficit Of $500 mentione
above resulted after liberal writ
r offs for depreciation against a
n buildings. machinery. farm animal
% and miscellaneous equipment. Tn
y showing speaks well for the capab
{ and successful attention given TO th
e many phases at the colleges opera
= tions.
