Mrs. r. Z. Lewis Addresses Parent
Teacher Association
Mrs. R. E. Lewis, president of the
Delaware State Parent-Teacher AS
sociation, made the principal address
in the assembly hall, last Monday
evening at the monthly meeting OF
the local meeting of the Parent-Tea-
cher Association. In part she heart
lily congratulated those in charge for
having such a splendid audience
present. But at that time she did not
know the half of it. Several were
present to assist with the Assocla-
ton work but hundreds of others at
tended out of curiosity to see what
action would be taken by the local
school board in connection with the
recent trouble which came to head
following the weekly
teachers meeting held last week, at
which time, it is said Superintendent
Adam had prepared a paper which
he read to the entire faculty. At the
close of the reading he stated that
in the remarks just read he refer
red particularly to Miss Laura Belle
Kennerly and Miss Mary Kemp OF
EeQerdlSDuIS, 1u. hllSS AShhS4AJ -
the primary teacher. She resigned,
to take effect Immediately. Public
sentiment is running high and
great many citizens demanded of the
local board the resignation of Supt
Adam. This matter is entirely in the
hands of the local board and the
State Board of Education. It is be-
Iieved the local board will handle
he subject judiciously and hear the |
evidence concerning both sides be-
'ore any definite action is taken. 1t
was reported that following the
Meeting last week, which did not .
adjourn until IL p. m. that Mrs. w.
!. Kennerly had said that her daugh-
er would not teach again as long as
Mr.. Adam remained at the head of
he school.
Several more designations are ex-
Iected to follow closely behind those
llready resigned. The local board is
leaded by Jas. L. Harmstead as
president with Fred S. Bailey and P.
Mortimer Brown comprising the
Dther members of the board.
