TWO SCHOOLS CONSOLIDATE
State Board of Education Hold Inter

An agreement was reached between
the State Board of Education and the
people of Arden, suburb of Whining
ton, whereby several problems affect
ing the public school at that place,
were adjusted. The school was author
lied to employ another teacher and
supply a room in which to teach a
higher grade, in order that sixteen
children would not have to walk three
miles to Claymont to attend classes.
1t was pointed out that the law re-
quires children in the seventh and
eighth grades, must attend schools
where such grades are taught, as the
rural schools do not go above the
sixth grade. To do this, sixteen chill
dren in Arden would be compelled to
walk three miles to attend school; be-
cause the State Legislature failed t.
provide for transportation beyond {
limited amount, which was not sufi
cient. The trustees offered a site fol
the new building at Arden, and the!
