Mr. Geo. Carter Editor The Evening
Journal:
My Dear Mr.. Carter: Permit me
to commend your recent editorials in
the Journal relative TO the school
situation in Delaware. Several things
are worthy OF note in re those edi-
torial utterances and the present sit
uation OF our Delaware school
status.
First-One could but be impressed
strongly with the constructive char
acter OF your editorials. Mere crit
icism is valueless. indeed. often
harmful. II must he evident TO all
who have followed the school ques-
tion in our State since Mr.. Pierre s.
duPont's liberal gifts OF money and
OF his time as well. that most OF the
criticism OF the school question
could be summed up in one word
knocking" There was knocking,
plenty OF II. much OF IL narrow
minded and shortsighted but very
little OF II or constructive char
acter. II is refreshing. therefore. to
read positive. wholesome. construc-
tive criticism.
One can scarcely imagine n more
regrettable phase Of a great public
question such as our educational
system is, than 10 see efforts 10 make
il a sort OF political football, to be
tossed about as il has been for those
years since an honest, capable, high
attempt vas made to put
Delaware somewhat on par with
other States in the matter OF public
education. We boast none too
proudly that we are the FIRST
STATE" What sense is there in
barking back to antiquated methods,
railing along in the good old-fash-
oned way" etc?
