EDUCATION PLAN

Addressing a meeting OF voters II
the Overlook schoolhouse at Clay
mont last night Harry c.. Little. can
didate for Representative from th'
Sixth Representative district deplor-
ed the present school conditions OF
Delaware, which he said was caused
by the inequality Of the present
method of distributing school funds
Mr.. Little also said he would vote 10
repeal the SO filing fee IL elected.
The meeting was also addressed
by Charles Lister. Democratic candi-
date for Representative. Frank
Stephens, candidate for United States
Senator on the Forward party ticket
and Florence Garvin, the Forward
party candidate for State auditor.
Having been honored by being
made the Republican candidate for
the General Assembly from the Sixth
Representative district II is only fair
to you that you should know some
thing OF how l stand on issues that
are vital TO this community. OF
course being a Republican I will nat
urally work TO the best interests Of
my constituency. 1 am deeply inter
ested in the subject OF education and
firmly believe that our American
Educational system has been one Of
the strongest factors IN moulding the
destlnies of this great Republic.
There is a lot OF sentiment at
tached to the little log school house
which stood on the hill and OF the
other things which featured our edu-
cational system in years gone by:
but those things are Of the past and
not OF the present.
Delaware children are deserving
Of the best that can be given to them
in the way of school buildings and
grounds. Delaware children are de-
serving Of the best that can be given
to them in the way of equipment and
teachers. and may God speed the
day when we will have every educa-
tional essential. and when every boy
and girl will be enabled TO enjoy the
full benefits which flow from our ele-
mentary, grammar and high schools,
for TO give your boy or girl a proper
is the finest gift you can
bestow. Reverses may strip them of
possessions. riches take
wings and fly away. but nothing
short Of insanity can strip them Of
the riches with which they load their
minds in the schools and colleges.
Those riches are their very own so
long as health and life last and no
one can take them from their full
possession.
Unfortunately we DO not get
square deal in the matter Of the dis
tribution Of State finances for school
purposes in BrandywIne hundred
the amount Of taxes we
pay. And If elected It will be my
endeavor to secure for Bran
DIVINE hundred a larger proportion
Of the State revenue for our local
schools. We must demand what we
are entitled TO or we will not get It.
"A great deal has been said about
the SO fling fee and while I am OPP
posed to It and will vote to repeal It,
you must remember that this was
not wholly a Republican measure as
some of our Democratic friends I
would try to make you believe. As 4
4 matter of fact, il the Democrats in /
he last Legislature were sincerely =.
anxious to defeat It they had the OPP
)ortunity to do so. When It came up I
'or passage in the House which was
Democratic there were IS votes all
Democrats in favor Of II, and IT .
totes against 1t, all Republicans. I /
stand with those Republicans now
md will vote for its repeal Just as
hey voted against It.
You voters are going to the polls
text Tuesday to exercise the vital
light Of franchise. You must make
! choice between the Republican,
he Dem ocratic. or this year. the
party. It is only through
POLITICAL parties that we are able
o accomplish reforms and bring
bout constructive legislation either
t Washington or at Dover.
THE Republican party has al
rays been the constructive party
nd It is a matter Of history as well
s Of fact that our most prosperous
eriods have been under Republi-
an rule.
During the past year and half.
President Harding and his cabinet
ave been in charge Of the execu-
I've branch OF the Federal Govern
lent and Congress has been Repub- .
can.
Now we find the Democratic
peakers are critizing everything
nat has been accomplished under
le Presidents leadership, as inef-
Giant fyararaa ra1nAa
agant. The best answer is that the {
economies brought about by legis-
tive action amount to about a bill 7
on and a half dollars on the ex- I
enses OF the Government in the {
ear ending 1921 and saving of r
yer s30O.00O.00 for the present d
ear. (
This Is largely brought about
rough the working OF the budget c
stem which took the business /
overnment out of politics and put 4
on a strictly non-partisan and h
basis.
Il have spent practically all my
70 in the accounting profession. s
veral years of it in public ac-
uniting work. and I can see no r
