KIDS CANDY.

Taking candy from kids" may yet
become not a sign of unspeakable mean
ness but proof of good sense and gen
uine kindness. A prominent dentist in
Boston. who urges a law forbidding the
sale of candy to children without the
written consent of their parents, is re-
ceiving much support everywhere. A
QUESTIONABLE sent to 20 leading dentists
of the country by DIR. Henry G. Harvitt
of New York city shows that thirteen
IF them are entirely opposed to candy,
with four neutral and only three favor
ing its use in moderate quantities.
Doctors who were inclined not long
ago to tolerate or recommend candy for
children are growing less enthusiastic
about it. as the manifold evils of over
indulgence show themselves. Observing
parents and teachers are beginning to
feel that children eat altogether too
much candy for the good of their diges-
ton. their temper and their physical de-
velopment.
Pure candy. simply made, is recog-
nized by nearly everybody as a fine
wholesome food and an excellent stimu-
LIANT Invaluable for many purposes, es-
peciaIly in a prohibition era. 1t is also
recognized, more and more, that candy
in undue amount, or of unduly mixed
flavors and materials, is very deleteri
Gus. Some candy manufacturers them
selves are taking note of these facts
and shaping their policy accordingly
They realize that for good candy, prop
erly smade and eaten in moderation
there will always be a good market.

Ooincident Ideas on Genoa Conference

John Spargo in at least two recent

did not think it wise for the United
States to join in the Geroa coference.
Now that President Harding has de-

seems almost as though the President
had taken Mr. Spargo's advice, as the
reasons he gives are so similar to the
objections outlined by Mr.. Spargo.

PARENT TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION MEETING
Leading State School Men Ad-
dress Enthusiastic Gathering
at Harrington.
SUPT. HOLLOWAY'S SPEECH
Says Every Community Has AS
Poor a School AS It Is Willing
to Tolerate.

Fully 800 persons attended the af-
ternOon session of the Delaware State
Parent-Teacher Association at Har-
ringtOn las, Saturday, and in all the
history of the State, it is averred.
there has never been a more enthusi-
astic and helpful meeting. All speak
ers and visitors commented on the
number of those present interested in
education, and remarked that it could
not work for anything but good for
Delaware and its schools.
Among the speakers in the after
noon session were DR.. T. R. Brown,
president of the State Board of Edu-
cation; DR.. H. V. Holloway, State su-
peryisor of Public Instruction; DR..
Richard Washburn Cooper, and Ide
G. Sergeant, of Paterson, N. J.
DR.. Brown, in his address, declared
his belief in cooperation and said it
was better to save the present school
law than to lose what we have gain
ed to date.
DR.. Holloway's speech thrilled the
meeting with its array of facts. He
urged that the meeting be careful
what they stood for, as there were so
many of them that they were quite
likely to get whatever they stood for.
Three hundred out of the eight hun
dred present were delegates, he said,
from Is different school districts.
DIR. Holloway Speaks
DR.. Holloway said in part:
Every community has as poor a
school as it is willing to tolerate, and
as good school as it is willing to
fight for. Before we consider this prob
lem further let us stop to consider
whether or not Delaware needs a
school building program.
Three years ago we made a careful
examination of our schools. The ex-
animation was made by experts who
measured them by the things which
have become standard in modern edu-
cation.
'The special districts in Delaware
in this measurement made an aver
age of 333 out of a possible 1000. The
rural schools made a score of 275 out
of possible 1000. Just eight schools
in the entire State scored over 500
points. COlOred schools scored as low
as 200 points.
Seeing the desperate straits in the
colOred schools, Mr.. P. S. dupont came
forward with his gift of 100000 for
rebuilding cOlored schools. By the
time the next legislature meets, the
colored school building program will
not be very far from completed.
800 White Teachers
There are in this State working un-
der orders of the State Board of Edu-
cation about 600 white teachers. This |
means the State Board must supply
