out to vote for candidates for the local
Boards of Education at school cleo
tions, it is pretty sure sign that the
voters do not care much about schools
or education for their children.
"But, when you see them turn out
by hundreds, some districts polling
practically every one who is able to
walk, and who is entitled to vote,
then you can rest assured that the
people are interested. "In some Sec
tions of the State it has been difficult
for the people to understand that the
methods that have been evoked to i'm
prove educational standards in Della
ware have been utilized simply for the
one purpose-advancing the cause of
education. But the people appear to
become more interested and are taking
part in school elections and the con-
sideration of plans for schools and
teachers and the other activities incl
dental to the school system.
"When the State Board assumed it's
duties year ago, there were none of
the members, l believe l can safely
say, who were optimistic enough to
feel confident how things would turn
out. But we have gone through a
successful year, and we hope that
some of the biggest problems have
been started on the way to a solution
True, we still have several man-sized
jobs left for the coming year, but it's
like everything else; once a start is
made the finishing is often not so diff
fcult. During the past year we have
had to rearrange and readjust several
things that we had planned, and some
of the changes were surprising, but
if the administration of the board has
been satisfactory to a majority of the
citizens this year, l hope that next
year will find us with not so many
weighty things to determine"

AUTO ACCIDENT NEAR CAMDEN
Frank Gray Struck by Machine in
Stepping From AnOthers Path

Evidently becoming confused at the
blowing of horns from two autOmO-
biles, which caused him to step from
one side of the road to the other,
Frank Gray, of Camden, was knocked
down by the automobile operated by
son of L. S. Herman, farmer, living
between Camden and Wyoming, as the
latter was coming to Dover yesterday
morning with two crates of chickens
and sustained severe injuries which
may result in his death. Gray'S skull
was fractured and several ribs broken
besides internal injuries. Herman
picked up Gray and hustled him to
Dover where DR.. Joseph Mcdaniel
rendered treatment. The elder Her
man and his son sought the Deputy
Attorney-General's Office to explain
the unavoidable accident. After hav-
ing his wounds dressed Gray was re-
moved to his home in Camden for
further medical treatment. The Gray
family seem to have had a streak Of
bad luck. Mrs. Gray is just recover
ing from a severe scalding which she
sustained some months ago and theii
daughter was planning to go to a hos
pital for treatment within a few days

NEWARK BOND ISSUE CARRIES
Voters Agree 276 to 12S to Bond Dis
trict for $165,O00 for New School

AS a result of the vote at a special
election Saturday, Newark is assured
of a modern new school building that
will cost when entirely completed
about 100000. By a vote of 276 to
1913, residents of the Newark school
district decided to bond the district
for $165,000 towards a new school
building. The Delaware School Aux
iliary, which has charge of the P. S.
DUPONT fund, has promised to give
S$225,00 additional towards the pro-
posed new building as soon as con-
ditions are more favorable to market
securities held by the association. The
$165,000 will be used at once to build
a wing of the building. When COM
pleted the new school will house the
high, grammar and primary depart
ments. The first wing to be built with
the $165,000 will be for the high
school and probably two of the higher
grammar school grades. A new
school has been an urgent need in
Newark for some years. At the vote
Saturday every man and woman in
the school district entitled to vote at
a general election had the right to
vote. 1t was not restricted to tax
payers only as was the case when the
first referendum for a bond issue was
conducted more than year ago. But
4O4 votes in all were polled. The first
referendum for the bond issue was al
so carried, but owing to the condition
of the financial market the bonds
could not be disposed of which made
it necessary to hold the extra elections
Saturday. The ground on which the
new school will be erected was bought
about two years ago, and is located
on Academy street below Delaware
avenue.
