Apart from the democratic nature
OF our Constitution and the genera,
character and tone OF her body OF
laws. the best index OF the life OF
an American commonwealth and the
service she IS rendering the nation
IS her system OF free schools. be-
leve that the future greatness and
prosperity OF the State depends
largely upon education.
We have every reason TO be proud
Of the recent achievements and
present standing OF our State Uni
yersity The last session Of the Gem
eral Assembly changed the corpor-
ate title OF our first educational IN
stitution from Delaware College 20
the University OF Delaware. at pres
ent including chiefly the Woman's
College, the College Of Agriculture
and the College OF Arts and Sciences
with its many departments. The
University OF Delaware has since
been admitted to the Association Of
American Universities. The aim and
policy OF the board OF trustees Is not
70 build a big institution, but one
that is great in her educational
standing and achievement. The sue
cessful outcome OF the campaign
for a memorial library building

campus, for the use OF the various

years thoroughly renovated her
buildings and grounds at an expense

that every bed at the College f. oc-

vided. The insistence Of the United
states Government, which contrib
utes TO the support Of the State Col
lege, IS to conduct an institution
giving a thoroughly practical educa-
ton to our colored youth, Develop
ing Independent expert artisans and
craftsmen in the common industries
and arts OF the State. The College
now owns a farm OF about two hun
bred acres which may prove to be
too large an area for practical use

would recommend that the board OF

I regard the service OF this Boar
as one OF constantly increasing i'm
portancs and value.
The last Legislature broadened
the scope OF It's work by providing
a yearly fund OF $1,000 for the
study and eradication OF poultry
diseases. The poultry industry OF
Delaware is more important than Is
generally supposed and Is second
only TO the corn crop in value. the
annual production amounting to
about $4,000. 900. I advise an in
crease 10 $1,000. annually for the
continuance OF this work that more
vaccine may be distributed for the
cure OF poultry disease, and a wider
study OF the problem.
The establishment OF a Bureau
OF Markets Is new branch OF the
work and has proven itself .valu-
able help TO the farmer. This
work should go on and I recommend
an annual increase OF $4,000, maxi
ing the appropriation $1,000 instead
of $4,000. I regard this increase as
necessary n this service Is TO be

The laboratory established At

splendid results for the farmer and

delinquent children from all parts
OF the State. The court has asked
$40, 900 from the State for this pur-

benefits 1 feel that they should con-
tribute $4,000 each and the State
the remaining $4,000. and that the
future cost OF maintenance. which
would probably be $4,000 annually,
would be betrayed equally by the
city. New Castle county and the
state.

recommend that this building pro

attention when tits presented 10 the

This commission received q main
tenance appropriation OF $4,000

Highway Department

The Department has under its con-
troll two hundred and sixty-four
miles of road. The average cost OF
maintenance Is about $3.50 per mile.
II will therefore be seen that once
our highway system Is completed. il
can be maintained at very small
cost.
I believe a great majority Of the
people OF this state want to see the
good road program continued. I
know of nothing done in recent
years that has meant so much 20
practically all the people OF the
State. The laws now in existence
with a few slight changes. are suffi-
cient to take care OF the cost, and a
comparatively small portion Of 1t is
borne directly by the peopie.
Evening journal., 1923-01-03

The Highway Department has
done splendid work during the past
two years. Fifty-elght miles
OF road were constructed dur
ing the year 1921 at an average
cost OF $40 900 per mile. and seventy
six miles were constructed during
the year 1929 at an average cost OF
$4,000 per mile. The cost OF sur
veys, preparing plans and designs
and furnishing engineers for super
vising the work has been five and
one-half per cent. Of the construction
cost. In Pennsylvania and Mary
land this same cost Is seven per cent.
The Highway Commission and the
Engineering Department are to be
congratulated upon this showing.
