amount the State Board pared $780,
600 then the Legislature Topped off
another $5OO,OOO, appropriating $2,-
100000. This budget includes moth
ing for transportation, which is pro-
vided for in a special appropriation of
100000 by the Legislature, which
bring the total appropriation for
school purposes to $2,100,000, or
100000 less than was appropriated
last year. In addition to this, DR..
Holloway explained there was provi-
sion in the appropriation bill forbid
ding the use of any portion of the ap- |
preparation for "debt service" the |
paying of old debts previously incur
red by school districts. The State |
Board has begun to try to solve the
problem of operating the schools of
the State on 100000 less than last
year, he said, by starting at home
by cutting out six supervisors and a
statistician-but the rest of the cut
ting must be passed on to the dis
tricts.
Getting Good Teachers is Most Vital
The most vital thing in the running
of the school is the teacher, he add
ed. He then referred to the cOntin-
gent appropriation of 100000 which
the State Board may get if certain
taxes are collected in excess of the
S2,OOO,OOO appropriation. This money,
if collected by the tax department, or
any portion of it, the State Board
proposes using to pay increments ac-
cruing to the ratings the teachers
have, but will be paid in lump sum
at the end of the year. He explained
that the Board, in the past, has been
greatly handicapped by being tied
down to the use of specific purposes,
but this years budget has been set
up so that mot less than, nor more
than" certain amounts may be devot
ed to the purposes for which they are
fixed in the budget. The principle of
the budget, he said, is that the most
important things, teachers salaries,
text books and supplies cannot be cut
down, and the capital outlay fund
cannot be used for building new
schools, but must be retained for re-
placement.
: More Money Needed for Repairs
Only $40, he explained, has been
distributed for repairs and replace
= ments to each of the school districts.
Any district desiring to exceed this
amount is authorized to bond up to 5
I per cent of the assessed value of real
! estate by a referendum vote, or it can
= wait until the end of the year to see
D if the amount set up for the whole
L State has been used, when the State
! Board will try to assist. Teachers
( and janitors' salaries remain the same
as last year, except what the teachers
t may realize from the contingent fund
n The board, hassaid, has taken care OF
the fuel situation, each district being
o empowered to purchase reasonable
r amounts of fuel. He emphasized the
fact that the length of the school
5 term is 180 days, and that the law re-
q ouires the trustees to visit the schools
in their district at least once a month
d One of the big duties of the trustees
he said, was to increase interest II
the schools. Owing to the difficult!
o in securing teachers, DR.. Hollowa!
- said the State Board this year will ac
y cept satisfactory certificates iron

sey on the same basis as DelaWar

to us, get acquainted with our
stores and business places the
better. Some citizens don't
want noise; others feel the wear

streets will be too much. But
we say let the traffic go through

little noise and wear and tear is
no hindrance to any community.
SMYRNA and towns like it need
some noise to put them on the

sible lead thru Smyrna to the
Boulevard. 1t helps advertise
our town, to say nothing of the
transient trade that more OF
less comes with it. Not a few
of our citizens think Smyrna
made an egregiOus blunder in
not recommending and urging
that the Boulevard go right thru
Main Street instead of thru the
"Whopping" section. Dover die
not make the mistake. They
saw where Milford, Georgetown
and other towns were evidently
losing out by such proposition
and waited. Now the BulevarC
approaches both ends of State
street and traffic, despite some
opposition, goes thru. A little
noise, a little wear and tear, will
be forgotten. Dover not only
wants tourists to see the bes
part of their town but They
want all the transient trad,

The average person in the
street, the householder, and the
like, wonders why there is so
much fuss about coal, why the
operators and the miners cannot
get together as other persons in
industry are forced to do. The
coal situation however concerns
the average persons far more
than most other things for coal
is necessary and must be obtain
ed. The Morning News says:
''The conference between the
operators and the miners is on
again at Atlantic City, with
both sides cautious and dis
posed to get together, SO it is re-
ported, because of public opinion
but we doubt it. If they did at
this time fear public opinion,
they would have concluded their
negotiations long ago without so
much "monkeying."
"The public, however, has
rights in this matter, and they
must be represented. When it
recalled that public opinion is
responsible for the change in
the hours Of labor of employees
in the steel industry, the opera
tors and the miners can we'll af-
ford to think thrice before that
opinion is flOuted.
Zone good point about the
conference is that neither side
feels certain about any action
that President Coolidge may
take. There is fear that the
President will interfere with
their schemes. The public vii

strike, and the consequent an

HAGENS PLAY IN
BRITISH OPEN is
AMERICAS HOPE
British Writer Says American
Menace Reappears In
Hagen's Play
BY HAROLD HILTON

TROON, Scotland, June 1.-THE
American menace to the champion
ship, which did look as though 1t
might be repulsed reappeared when
Hagen in the afternoon round of the
first days championship play Thurs
day produced the best golf he has
yet displayed at Troon.
He finished with score of 147 for
the So holes.
However, Hagen will have to beat
two great young golfers in Havers
and Whitcombe, who are playing in
best golf that / have ever seen in
the British championship tourna-
ment.
1t looks now as if one of these
young Englishmen will win. Whit
combe is a powerful player six feet
tall. and was the holder of the west
of Britain championship in 1921.
On Thursday Whitcombe not only
broke the course record, but holed
out twice in two. His golf was al
most perfect.
Against the wind, with low
straight drives, he performed won
derfully. and his mashie shots were
most deadly. Havers also had pair
of deuces to his credit. His driving,
which has been faulty in the past,
now seems to have been corrected.
Both of these young men are under
80, and it seems to have been young
mans day, for such veterans as
Herd, Taylor and Braid played I'M
certainly and disappointingly.
Hagen still showed symptoms of
the nervousness that has plagued
him since the qualifying round began
on Monday. but he appears to be re-
covering from the cramping stale
ness which handicapped him at the
start.
l believe Hagen responds to a
challenge and think that he will
buck up when he faces a stiff battle
tomorrow.
Thursday morning Hagen started
badly, being bunkered three times,
and INDUCING also in an excess of
puts. But in the afternoon he was
brilliant and his driving and iron
shots lifted his ball back into the
contest.
Hagen has steadied. Fridays fight
among the, top-notchers should pro
vide most dramatic sport.
