ONTARIO DRYS OVERCOME LEAD; CLAIM VICTORY Rural Sections Dampen Vets Early Re-
 joicing OPEN SALOON
 NOT AT STAKE Liquor Sale In Sealed Packets Is The
 Issue
(By Leased Wire to Age.Herald)

 OTTAWA, Canada, Oct. s24, (Friday.)-Ontario stays dry
 This was established with practical certainty early Frf day morning, when the big majority established by the urban vets in the provinces vote on prohibition early Thursday night, had been wiped out by the tremendous dry margins in the rural dis tricts. The vote was the big gest in the history of the prov ince.
 With the flood of dry votes from the rural districts late in the evening lead CTS of the fight to retain the Ontario Temperance act who had practically conceded victory to the proponents of government control when their majority reached 60,000, experienced change of heart and made preparations for vic tory celebration of their own.
 Cities Go Wet
 Most of the cities voted wet by big ma ajorities, which gave the vets their early runaway leads, but the small towns and the farming areas went to the drys by tremendous margins the size of which had not even been an- ticipated by the 0rys.
 Belief was expressed by many that the result would not be known until Friday afternoon, <
 The election aroused tremendous in terest throughout Canada. In every large city in the Dominion, crowds watched bulletin boards through the night, while thousands more listened for reports over the radio. The streets of every city and town in the province were crowded by scores of thousands of the approximate million voters who had registered their opinion on the burning issue of prohibition at the polls during the day. @
 The effect of the Ontario vote will be felt by the other Canadian provinces. A wet victory was expected to give most of the other provinces, now on the fence, a push into the moist column, while a dry victory probably would have the opposite effect.
 The vote today is the sixth referen- dunn on the liquor question to be held in 30 years. The issue in today's voting is whether the sale of intoxicants un- der provincial government control shall be established or whether the Ontario act passed in 1916, shall remain in effect.
 The question of the return of the saloon, is not involved. Two questions are asked on the ballot:
 Are you in favor of the continu- ance of the Ontario Temperance aet" and Are you in favor of the sale of beverage of beer and spurious liquor in sealed packages and under government control?" Yes and No.
 The present law was enacted in 1916 as war measure and was confirmed in a plebiscite in 1919. Two years later an amendment was adopted making it il- legal to import iiQucr from wet prov inces and states.

Houston. He gave the credit for the
construction of the new school at
Houston to the efforts of Miss Eliza
beth jenkins, school supervisor, who
appealed through DR.. John B. Hutton.
of Dover, a member of the Delaware
School Auxiliary from Kent county.
DR.. R. W. Cooper, of the Delaware
School Auxiliary, presented the deed
for the building to DR.. Holloway
This building has not been built he
cause the State was not able to build
it. 1t has been given to the State of
Delaware" DR.. Cooper said, ito show
what the State should do for the edu-
cation of it's children"
DR.. Cooper told of the schools Of
two generations ago, stating that nm
til just recently, nearly all of the
school buildings in the State were
built about 1868 and nothing done to
meet the increasing need for educa-
tiOnal facilities until this time. He
said A. J. Taylor, engineer of the Del
aware School Auxiliary, built the
school on the highest standard plans
for school buildings in the United
States.
DR.. Cooper spoke in favor of phvsi
cal and health examinations in the
schools, urging the return of nurses
to the schools.
DR.. Thomas R. Brown, president of
the State Board of Education, was the
next speaker. He lauded Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierre S. du POnt for their interest in
the establishment of educational IA
cilities in the State.
He urged the patrons of the schools |
to go to the primaries in the State and
vote for candidates who stand for
good schools, good roads and good
churches so that the children of the
entire State might receive the full
benefits of the school system.
Wilbur Jump, principal of Caesar
Rodney School received the keys to
the building from DR.. Brown and told
of the responsibility of the people of
the State to give the children the
proper idea as to educational matters
so that they can pass those ideas on
to the future generations.
Ruby r. Vale, of Milford, was the
next speaker. He traced the history
of education in Delaware from about
1880. He brought out the point that
since the women have been given the
vote the conditions in the schools
Milford chronicle., 1924-04-11

have been improved a great deal be-
cause women, with their new power,
have seen that the children are given
the proper consideration in the matter
of their education. He predicted rapid
progress in the establishment of ideal
educational systems throughout the
country through the power of the wo-
mems vote.
