100000 GIFT FOR SCHOOLS
THREE MODERN BUILDINGS TO
BE ERECTED IN WILMINGTON
Will House 5000 Pupils-P.S. dupont,
Thru School Auxiliary, Has Already
Given S4,OOO,OOO for New Schools


Pierre S. dupont, who, thru the
School Auxiliary, has done so much
for Delaware schools, announced last
week a gift of $8OO,OOO toward con-
struction of three modern schools to
accommodate 5000 pupils in the city
of Wilmington. Announcement of the
contribution was made to Wilmington
city council Thursday night, condi-
tional upon the city appropriating
$1,000,000 for school purposes. COun-
Gil unanimously accepted the offer and

of $1,200,000 on first and second read
ings, giving DUPONT a vote of thanks.
There are approximately $4,000
pupils in Wilmington. Of these 1900

proper. accommodations. All of the 81
city school buildings in use are anti
quated. Most of them have been con-
demned as fire traps. Portable wood
en- schools have had to be erected to
provide make shift accommodations
Mr.. dupont already has given approx
imately $4,OOO,OOO for new school
buildings in the state including $780,
900 toward erecting our fine schoo,
building in Smyrna. He also has
given $1,OOO,OOO or more to the Uni
versity of Delaware. Under terms Of

build two modern grade schools cost
ing $5OO,OOO each while Mr.. duPOn
will erect a school in the cOngesteC
southwestern section to cost 100000
In addition the Delaware School Aux
Hilary Association, which administer

The laws, rules and regulations for
school attendance in this State were
adopted at a meeting of the State
Board of Education at Dover Friday.

charge of elementary schools has been
designated by the State Board as the
person who may excuse any children
for necessary and legal absence. Or
dinary excuses may be accepted by
the teachers of the schools but eX-
cuses for agricultural and other work
and for receiving instruction else
where than. in the elementary schools
of the State, will have to be received
from the designated authority. 1t is
necessary for every parent, guardian
or other person in this State having
control of a child between the age of
seven and fourteen to send such child
to free public school each day of the
minimum school year of 100 days. The

NEED FOR HEALTH SUPERVISION
Prof. Otis P. Jefferson, Principal Clay
ton School, Calls Awakening Thru
Parent-Teachers Associations


The question of health supervision
has been a very much neglected edu-
cational work and study until recent
ly," says Prof. Otis P. jefferson, prin-
cipal of the Clayton Schools in an ar
ticle submitted to the Times for pub
llcatiOn. Surely there is no agency
more useful in improving the health
of succeeding generations and in re-
duclng the number of lives lost or hu-
man waste than our public schols. 'Tis
true our teachers must have a clear
conception of their tasks-thev must
realize implicitly the enormous human
waste at present because of little
health supervision and what steps
they must take for the DEVELOPMENT
of health supervision to enable the
masses of good yet misinformed.
people to realize the prime necessity
of such instruction-if we are to do
effective health work in the future
Other than the educational depart
ment, the health department is the
most important of any city or state
work; and if the educational depart
ment could have control of the entire
health supervision, then effective CO.
ordinate health work could and would
be done. Yet some of our well-mean-
ing friends may say, "Why waste
money and time on teaching these
'fads' and 'fancies' under any con-
trol?" They may also say that we
send our children to school to study
arithmetic, history, ETC., to get know
ledge, evidently not thinking at all
that education is a continuous process
of changing an individual from what
he is, to what we think he ought t
be, or in other words education is t.
make them socially efficient. l thinl
these questions can easily be answer
) ed by our examples and by continued
efforts and brief explanations. Whel
teachers can observe physical defect
and read the health index of children
and when our children have develope,
much physically during their schoo
life, doing far better school work wit
increased enthusiasm, then these mis-
. informed parents will say that we d
see the prime necessity for healt
work because our children are feelin
splendidly and apparently know wha
preventable steps they should take t
prevent diseases. At present, tn,
: our health work is very much neglect
ed because sentiment has not bee
