TEACHERS TO BE REIMBURSED
Those Who Attended the Summer
School at University of Delaware

Those Who Attended the Summer
School at University of Delaware
The State Superintendent of Public
Instruction has sent out notices to the
teachers who attended Summer School
and have not yet filed their applica-
tiOns for reimbursement, stating that
the first day of November will be the
latest date at which these applications
can be received. There are a number
about Smyrna who took the summer
course. The provision in this state
which allows at least large portion
of the teachers expense at Summer
School, to be paid from the State
Funds for Education, is one of the best
in force among the various states. The
teacher who takes her time during the
summer to improve her professional
standing and ability as a teacher
should be largely recompensed by the
state to which she contributes the
greatest of her professional knowledge
and training. Several states have
made provision for the payment of all
their teachers expenses at Summer
School and in previous years the
amount appropriated by the legisla-
ture has been sufficient to cover all ex-
penses of the Delaware teachers. This
year the amount was not large enough
to enable the State Department of
Public Instruction to grant complete
reimbursement resolution controlling
the method of reimbursement has been
passed by the State Board of Educa-
tion and previously published through
out the state.

weeks for holly to make wreaths for

RAILWAY TO ABANDON
ROSSLYN BRANCH LINE

Counsel for the Washington-Vir-
ginia Railway were before the State
Corporation Commission Thursday
with petition for abandoning the
Rosslyn branch of that line between
Rosslyn and Arlington junction, in
sofar as passenger service is con-
cerned. This line has proven a sick
sister" ever since its establishment,
not averaging over four passengers
a day and costing the company ap-
proximately $1,000 per year to oper-
ate. 1t is still intended to run an
occasional car to take care Of any
freight from Rosslyn to Alexandria
and intermediate points. No serious
opposition from county residents has
developed to this step. In fact, 1t Is
generally conceded that the aband-
onment of this ghost line" is step
in the direction of betterment, as the
money can be better applied to other
portions of the road.

ment would be to the Virginia COM

ject would give good. all-the-year

ginians to market their product in
the NATIONAL capital. They also
pointed out the advantages which
would accrue because OF the increased
motor traffic into Virginia.

Importance OF the highway in its re-
lation to Washington city and the
