A Poet in the Mining Country.

The miners are having a conven-
ton, and this draws attention to the
lot of the miners. The miners live
hard life. But their spirit is not
broken, not in Herrin, not in West
Virginia, not in other places. The
mounted constabulary in Pennsyl-
vania, cannot break them. The Ku
Klux Khan in Herin can't do much
The gunner in West Virginia have
found that they are not the only ones
who can shoot.
Carl Sandburg the great American
poet has been in the mining country
and has written what he felt when
he was there. This is how the poet
speaks Of the mining country in his
poem Pennsylvania:
/ have been in Pennsylvania,
In the Monangahela and the Hooking
Valleys.
In the blue Susquehana
On Saturday morning
l. saw the mounted constabulary
go by,
/ saw boys playing marbles.
Spring and the hills laughed.
And in places
Along the Appalachian chain,
I saw steel arms handling coal and
iron,
And saw the white caulihower faces
OF miners wives waiting for their
men to come home from the days
work.

violet

State School Board Encouraged By
Demand For Consolidated Schools
Eight Separate Localities OF Their Own Accord Ask That Modern
Plans For Improving Schools Be Followed, DR.. Thomas R.
Brown Points Out.

Prior to leaving for Cleveland, Ohio
last Saturday night, to attend the an.
Aual session of the National Educa.
tional Association, DR.. Thomas R
Brown, president of the State Board
Of Education, spoke with much graft
dcatiOn of the way in which parents
Of Delaware children, in all sections
Of the State are coming forward and
asking for improved school condi-
tions, particularly the consolidation
plan.
At the present time there are eight
sections, where the citizens have filed
petitions. In some instances they
have sent committees to Dover to dis
euss with the school officials the
chances Of having a consolidated
school erected in their section within
the next few years. All Of which
means that unless all Of these par
ents change their minds before the
legislature meets next winter there
will be a building program planned
and sought that will make the ques-
ton of new school buildings an inn
perative and important part Of the
work to be considered by the legisla-
ture.
more than a year ago." said DR..
Brown, eat the close Of the last ses-
sion Of the legislature, with its at
tending arguments about the school
moneys, there was suggested to the
board that it should urge a building
program that would eventually work
up public sentiment in its favor. But,
with the vision of the conferences
and meetings before the members of
the legislature in mind, the board de-
cided positively against any such pro-
gram at this time. We didn't believe
the people were ready for it.
Action Comes From Parents
Nov, without any suggestion from
the state board and without any move
ment on it's part to urge school con-
solidatiOn, comes these demands. |
They do not come from one particular |
section, but from every county. APP
parently the parents have been do
ing their own thinking. They have
not waited for some one to come
along and tell them what they should
do They have taken the matter in
hand and gone ahead, and this is very
pleasing to the board. 1t means that
the people as well as the board are
back Of the demand for better school
buildings and modern methods.
Another detail that is pleasing is
the willingness of the districts that
are asking consolidation to have the
new building placed wherever it will
serve the largest number. Self is be-

Mrs. w. I. Hubbard, Miss Lillian

ing submerged in the wish for better
education.
"a consolidated school, you know,
said DR.. Brown, " is where two OF
three communities agree to have one
adequate building to replace two OF
three small buildings that are behind
the times, nowadays. 1t means econ
omy and better teachers. There are
some teachers in Delaware who have
dozen pupils. Others have forty OF
more. In the consolidation plan, each
teacher would have a full quota and
there comes the>.econOmy in saving
perhaps one or two teachers salaries.
Highways Encourage Consolidation
"In the consolidation plan, too great
credit cannot be given to the splendid
highways that the state possesses. 1t
is due to these highways that it is
possible for consolidation plans to be
discussed Without these avenues Of
transportation, consolidation would
not be possible. Some Of the places
that have asked for consolidation, are
not on these improved highways, but
they are basing their appeal on the
fact that tentative roads have been
mapped out as among the future pos
sibilities of the State Highway De-
partment, so that more highways will
likely be demanded because Of the ne
cessity for children being properly
educated.
Another encouraging sign of the
interest being manifested by the par
ents, is their attitude towards present
school buildings. Without any recon-
mendatiOn from the state board,
which however has at other times,
the condition Of school
buildings, is the step taken by the
State Volunteer Firemen's Associa-
ton to visit all buildings and deter
mine those that constitute the great
est fire menace. What the result of
this investigation will mean I can
not forecast, but if nothing else
comes of it, it shows that the parents
are taking a greater interest in the
welfare and education Of their chill
lren than ever before.
There are other sections of the
state in addition to these eight, that
lave notified the board informally
hey intend to ask for consolidated
but have not presented their
'etition officially, so that within the
ear I would not be surprised if the
state Board should receive as many
more requests for buildings that
would seem to necessitate a building
