NEGRO COLLEGE
HEAD RESIGNS
DR.. W. C. JASON TO GIVE UP WORK
AFTER TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OF
FAITHFUL SERVICE.
PLEADS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
PROFESSOR is MUCH DISAPPOINTED BE-
CAUSE The HIGH SCHOOL HASH
BEEN ESTABLISHED.

DR.. w. c. Jason, president of State
CoIlege Tor Colored Students, has
handed his resignation to the board of
trustees of the college. The resigna-
tion has not yet been accepted, but a
committee of the trustees has been ap-
pointed to select a successor, and DR..
Jason has been asked to continue un-
til a suitable selection has been made.
DR.. Jason came to State College 27
years ago, so that he has been con-
nected with the institution almost
from the start. He has shown marked
ability in the development of the in
stitutiOn and is recognized as one of
the educational leaders of the colored
race.
He is held in the highest regard by
not only members of his race but by
many white people who have come in
contact with him since his connec-
ton with State College. DR.. Jason says
he has no plans for the future.
No reason has been announced by
DR.. Jason who is of advanced years,
for resigning, but it is known that he
is greatly disappointed because of the
failure of the educational authorities
to establish in connection with the
College for COlored Students a stand
ard high school, which was authoriz-
ed by an act of the last legislature.
DR.. Jason recently sent the follow
ing letter on this subject to the State
Board of Education, which shows his
disappointment because of the high
school not having been established:
To the President and Members of the
Cfofo PnaTs6 Of TV61TookfOV,
"Gentlemen:-I had hoped that it
would not be necessary to call your
attention to the following, but present
conditions leave me no choice.
"The State Legislature at it's last |
session made provision for the estab- |.
lishment at the State College for Col
Ored Students, of a standard high |
school. Although this was not man
datory it was evidently intended by
the legislature and certainly expect
ed by the colored citizens that this
would be done without necessary de-
lay.
''I have been told repeatedly that
our work is practically of high school
grade, but that fact has never been
given official recognition. Our Board
of Trustees were ready to make any
changes required to secure such rec
Ognition whenever advised as to what
those changes should be. Nothing hap
pened.
after waiting vainly for some one
else to take the initiative I began in
August of last year to seek for a man ;
to serve as principal of the proposed l
high school. My best efforts failed to
find one with the necessary qualifica- /
tions who could be secured for the {
salary our board could pay.
Considering the Office of principal, S

EPWORTH LEAGUE NEWS

The bake given in July by the Ep-
worth League, netted the treasury
$34.20. 1t had been decided by the
league to purchase a much needed
Bible for the lower room, so the bake
was held for that purpose. 1t proved
such a success that plans were dis
cussed to make some more needful
improvements. Hence the two pulpit
chairs were reupholstered, the old
curtains were dispensed with and very
pretty material purchased and made
up into fitted curtains for the doors,
connecting the primary room with the
Sunday school room, a new pulpit
stand top was made, also a new pane
velvet scarf was bought for the stand,
Altogether the added improvements
make very attractive change. The
funds necessary for these changes
amounted to over $50 and the league
desires to thank all who helped to
make this movement successful.

The two items frequently discussed
in talking about school costs in this
State are general control and instruc-
tionaI service. Taxpayers are always
interested in seeing that the general
control or overhead" as it is some
times called, is kept low and that the
largest percentage possible of school
funds go for the main purpose Of the
schools, namely, instruction.
This analysis shows clearly that
the Delaware school system is now
meeting these requirements in that

United States for instruction is 5S.2,

time the general control or "over-
head" was kept down. Another point
of interest in this respect is that this
percentage for instruction has been
on the increase during the last three
years and is now much higher than
the average for the five years. This
means that most of the increase in
the school costs goes toward the pay
ment Of teachers which must always
be the big cost in running any school
system.

years, beginning with July 1, 1923, are
