Matrimony Holding
Back Teachers
State Board Of Education Finds
Cupid Is Hard to Beat
Down

That the thought of matrimony is
causing teachers in Delaware to lack
ambition, was brought out in an in
formal discussion at the May meeting
of the State Board of Education.
1t is claimed that at the present
time there are 1874 instructors, chiefly
women, in the public schools of this
State whose thought of marriage is
causing lack of interest in their work.
Records of the instructors show
that three are 134 teachers who pos
sess the minimum standard certificate
to enable them to teach in Delaware.
Inquiry among these teachers as
to why they do not try to improve
their standing has IN most cases
ELECTED the reply, "Oh, l don't expect
to teach many years, as l hope to get
married.
Confronted with this answer the
State educators are helpless to find
way to enthuse many teachers in the
matter of improving their condition.
In the hope of improving these 134
teachers, the State Board of Educa-
ton has instituted course in reading
among the teachers, the books offered
being chosen with the idea of i'm
proving the talent of the teacher in
her work, and tests to develop
whether any advancement has been
made are made at frequent intervals.
One idea that has been discussed
by the State educators, that of cut
ting $50 from the salaries of this
class of teacher and adding this sum
to the next higher grade, was dis
missed because of the argument that
with lack Of present incentive to i'm
prove their standing, under the hope
of soon being married, such move
would tear down the morale of the in
structor.
Another plan that is being urged
by the State Board is that the teach.
ers attend the sessions of the Summer
School conducted here in Newark each
year.
Those teachers who have applied
themselves to the summer course OF
instructions have rarely failed to VIII
advancement and corresponding in
crease in salaries. This method of en-
couraging teachers to improve them
selves through suasion and added
salaries the State Board believes i:
beginning to have its effect, although
the process is slow.
Another problem which the Stat
Board is meeting through educationa
rather than arbitrary processes, il
that of school attendance. Whil
there is State law of compulsory at
tendance of so many days at school
the State Board is not attempting t
enforce it. They realize that to d
so would only antagonize the parent
with the result that perhaps the at
tendance records would be eve
poorer.

WEATHER HINDERS
Delaware Bay Fishermen Hard
Hit by Cool Season

Sturgeon fishermen, whose work
has been rearded considerably, be-
cause of the cool weather, are begin
ming to make fair catches in the Del
aware bay, but with no season such
as was first expected. There are now
about twenty-four crews fishing and
about 500 pounds of roe has been the
best their combined efforts have so
far accomplished. In previous sea-
sons the catch up until this date has
been about three times this amount.

MAINE FRUIT QUALITY
EXCEEDS QUANTITY THIS
YEAR, SAYS Mr.. YEATON

State Horticulturist G. A. Yeaton,
visited the Waterville fair Monday
as one of the judges of the fruit ex-
hibit at the Central Maine Fair. On
his return to the department., he de-
clared that the quality of fruit in
Maine this year is good.
The quality is good but the guam
tity is not so good. the crop averag-
ing about one third of the usual
amount. Therefore, exhibits at the
fairs will not be as large as in form
or years but at Waterville, all sec
tons of the State were represented"
When asked whether oxford did
not have the largest apple crop, he
replied that it did but he didn't want
to say too much as he had practically
inaugurated the apple industry in
that county. Mr.. Yeaton then dis
played three wonderful pictures
showing conditions Of apple trees in
Oxford county this spring. one
showed a single tree standing in
field by itself that had been well
cared for in that it produced sew
en- barrels of apples for seven con-
secutive years which Mr.. Yeaton
stated is very nearly record. Last
year six barrels of graded and one
barrel of number one fruit were
picked.
Fifty barrels of apples in seven
years from one tree is not bad de-
clared Mr. Yeaton. "At an average
price of 500 the owner got a good
return on his investment"

Dancing Continues
At Island Park

In years past. it has been the gen
eral opinion, that Labor Day closed
the summer season at all amusement
resorts, this being formed more from
the fall opening of the schools, rather
than the weather. so this year, Mr.
Spaulding, who has had such wonder
full success at the dancing pavilion,
has bowed to the many requests from
his patrons this season, to continue
the dancing as usual, on Monday
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday
nights. Realizing as everyone must
that the month of September is the
most beautiful in all the year es-
pccially on the shores Of Lake Cob
hossee, even bigger patronage is look
cd for at the Park, than during the
mid season. SO if YOU love dancing
love good music, love beautiful sur
roundinCs and love your wife or
sweetheart, bring them out to Island
Park on any of the dance nights, and
she will have such good time, that
YOU will make yourself solid for the
rest of the winter and the long cold
months ahead.-Adv.
