governmental expenditures in the
near future? This question is no
doubt on the lips of many. The
burden of taxation caused by the
world war has borne heavily upon
us all and il has been the earnest
desire of the government to reduce
this burden to the minimum con
s.stent with a proper functioning Of
the Federal services. We have seen
however, that approximately two
thirds collected go to pay certain
nxed charges. over the expenditure
Of which there can be exercised little
or no administrative control.
After deducting these items there
Is left. as has been shown, approx
mateiy one billion dollars, out of
which these normal operating ex-
penses OF the government must be
paid. 1t is against this group of
EXPENDITURES that the retreDchment
policy of the government has been
directed.
"A reduction in expenditures
would undoubtedly result from a re-
organization Of the departm snts and
establishments upon a more scien-
tific basis but we cannot look 10 this

duction in cost OF government opera

FAVORS as WEEK
SCHOOL Term.
DR.. Ward Would Cut Down
Vacation to About Four
Weeks
GIVE EDUCATION
QUICKER, HE SAYS

DR.. David A. Ward superintend-
ent Of public schools. in the course
of an address in Silverbrook NJ. r.
church last night in connection
with the observance Of Education
Week. advocated a forty-eight week
school term for Wilmington, such as
is now in operation IN Newark,
n. j., and a number OF other cities
throughout the country.
DR.. Ward explained last night
that there are many advantages in
the system over the present school
term OF about 40 weeks. First, It
would eliminate long vacation per-
iods, It would keep the pupils Off the
streets where they spend most OF
their vacation time, and would en-
able them to secure an education in
a shorter period of time.
In academic circles. Mr.. Ward said,
80 weeks is considered a normal
years school work. Under the as
week plan the school year 10 gener-
ally divided into four periods of IL
weeks each; OF, expressing II in an
other way three 12-week periods
would ordinarily constitute a nor
NAL school year.
Ambitious pupils could thus take
advantage OF the extra tweive-week
period to shorten the time It would
otherwise take TO complete the
school course On the other hand,
II the parents OF school children
wished to go TO Florida. Bermuda
or Cuba, as come of them do. they
could take rheir children with them
during one of the twelve-week Pc
RODS, and tho children could still
put in the thirty-six weeks normal
course OF study.
Mcmbers of the Board OF Educs-
don have several times oroached
tha sub1sct. but as yet no formal ao-
ton has been taken.
afr. Ward commended that all boys
or girls are entitled to an educa-
ton suf1oient % enable them 10
make a living. A boy, he said,
should have more than the tech
n ioue, he should have a vocational
training TO bring out his latent tall
ents.
In asrznsny Dr. Ward pointed
vut. every man twenty years Of age
kne a trade IN addition TO an educs-
aon. In America, he said, a boy is
sntttsed to as much.
he contracted the advantages OF
rood schools as compared with bad
schools. He said the schools of
w,imin stsn are providing education
Tor adults. and explained the Ameri-
sanitation work and Development OF
the p1atgon system. He said the
xrssesrt nsed at this time Is new
