"The school elections generally"
comments the Milford Chronicle, "dis-
closed the fact, that the people recog-
nize the need of new school buildings
to supplant those now in use and too
small for the present requirements of
public school work. We must not lose
sight of the fact, that more children
are attending the public schools, than
ever before in the history of public
school Notwithstanding to popu-
lation. The children not only attend
more regularly, but they remain in the
schools longer than ever before. There
are more children going into the high
schools and more each year gradual
ing in the classes at the end of each
twelve years for the children. This
requires more seats, more rooms and
larger buildings than ever before. 1t
is shown each year, that the children
who have advantage of sufficient
school space to work and play in, are
getting more and better education,
therefore getting the use of the money
expended for their education; much
better than under the cramped and
insufficient school rooms, and less able
prepared teachers who We're employed
in former years-when the men and
women of today attended the schools

Splendid Progress Being Made in
Building Adequate Rural Schoolhouses
So much progress in education in
Delaware has been made in the past
two years, that those living here find
1t hard to visualize the complete pic
ture of achievement. The traveller
who has not had the opportunity to
motor through the State recently
would be surprised to see the many
new schoolhouses which are under con-
struction and will be ready to occupy
in the fall. To be definite there are
exactly 20 schools now building and
added to this there are plans for nine
others which will be begun late in the
fall and completed before cold weather
prevents building operations from pro-
ceeding. Divided into counties, New
Castle has five, Kent County, ten, and
Sussex County five new buildings un-
der construction. Some of them which
were started early this spring are
practically completed, and the cost of
the whole is estimated at upwards of
$3OO,OO0, the gift of the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association, which
is the dispensing agency of the funds
which Pierre S. dupont has provided
to advance educational standards and
equipment in the State. While most
of the new buildings are of the one
two or three-room type, there are
some that are quite imposing in ap.

Discussion as to the comparative ad-
vantages of large and small institu-
tions of learning, colleges and uni
versities, has again been aroused by
the baccalaureate address delivered by
President Gray, of Bates College, up
in Maine, an institution famous for
having one of the best undergraduate
debating teams in the country, young
men who have faced the debaters of
the British universities.
President Gray declared that the
anxiety at some institutions for huge
enrollments is reducing the quality of
the graduates. Before the war, he
added. 10000 was the numerical acme
in university enrolment, but recently
an announcement by one of the big
universities of the East-Columbia
that the student body numbered 3d.
900, was followed by a statement from
the Pacific coast that one of the Cali
fornia universities had an enrolment
of 0,000-blOwers for bigness, those
CalifOrnians. We should have thought
that they learned a lesson in that foot
ball game with Washington and JEFF
fersOn, tie game, despite the prema-
ture boasting of an easy victory for
California.
Such lists as those presented, how
ever, by the two institutions in ques-
tion are deceptive. No such unmber
of students are ever around the Uni
versities. The enrolment includes
various extension courses, night stud
les and the like, some of those enrolled
know little about the university.
President Gray says that with this
tremendous number of students recita-
tions give way to lectures, classes be-
come mobs and students having a
good time" can get their degrees by
simply employing a tutor to coach
them a short time before examina-
tion. Speaking Of the multitude, OF
course, DR.. Gray said:
Moreover, the tendency to null
tiply courses has been quite mark
ed. A university in one of our
most cultured centers announced
the other day a course for bell
hops. Why not also a course for
bootblacks?
The old education contented it
self for the most part with polish
ing the mind; it looks as if the
new education might turn to the
other extremity and take to pol
ishing shoes. Possibly the day
is at hand in the women's colleges
when chairs of manicuring and
Marcel waving will be establish
ed.
There is much food for thought i
the foregoing. AS we have said,
brings to the front the question q

The new REQ phaeton. which has

been attracting unusual attention
throughout the country. but 1t has
already been chosen as the blue rib
bon winner in an automobile beauty
contest. according to Joe Trew, OF

In competition with approximate

was awarded first prize at the Roam

The winning car was driven by Mrs
Charles Carper.
The beauty contest" which fea-

cars and a winner selected from
each group. after which the class

Only the tried and tested in me-
chaRical equipment were used dur
ing the late war, and even when the
tried and tested did not come up to
specifications. there was developed
equipment to meet the severe re-

Among the notable developments
during the war was an intechange-

signed and developed especially for
the Liberty motors. themselves
the great outstanding mechanical
achievement contributed by the
United States to the cause of the
allies.
1t is this same type of bearing

tors that has been standardized in

steam engines helped to quicken the

With the advent of the motor car
it was believed that the last word
in transportation had been found
because of its independence of such
things as schedules. time tables.

been heretofore bound. The auto
