To the DAILY WORKER:
Dear Comrade: l had noted what
the New Leader said about the
Communist split" and also had skim
med thru or over, the long drawn-out
controversy as to whether an effort
should be made to organize a farm
er-labor party on class basis. The
one group thot the LaFollette move
ment had swallowed the material for
it, and the other group thot not. |
had also noted the unbecoming
speech of comrade TO comrade in dis
cussing the issue. But since bott
groups adhere to the Comintern, and
since the Comintern is the central au-
thority of the world-Communist move.

Of dispute. There is no split"
There are no free1ances in the Com

A "Strong, Silent Man"

This is the story of how the "strong, silent man.
in the White House met an emergency:
Warren was rejected by the senate.
Coolidge sent his name back for confirmation.
Coolidge talked with the republican senate lead
ers, heard that the appointment of Warren was i'm
possible and agreed to withdraw Warrens name.
few hours later he gave out the information
that he would insist on Warren's appointment
As this goes to press the republican leaders are
again in conference with Cal and the "strong,
silent man" may change his mind again.
Moral
Election publicity seldom has much basis in fact.

High Schools Of Delaware Graduate
Biggest Classes In States History
Students Otag 800 To Receive Their Diplomas This une Officials
Hope To Make Music Part Of The Curriculum Principals In
Four Towns To Be Replaced Before Fall Term Begins

/ One of the things which John Shil-
ling, assistant in charge of high
schools would like to see become a
part of the course in every high
| school is music instruction.
How Music Helps
Il don't mean just singing a song
or hymn at the morning assembly"
said Mr.. Shilling, "but instruction
whereby the student can sing by
note and intelligently.
There are many courses in the
high schools that could be less en-
phasized when compared to music.
OF course, 1 don't mean the funda-
mentals," he continued, "but music
is such helpful method in making
better citizens that I want to see it
a part of our course. To my mind it
is much more important than a COM
mercial course and it's a long way
ahead of many other items, that
some consider vital"
Four Principals Needed
Mr.. Shilling has important work
CuL Jul 4OA nALl lOL lllG uG4L LCIul UG-
cause there will be at least four new
principals Of high schools to pass
upon and help get started in their
uew fields. Up to this time the prin-
cipals of Dover, Laurel, BridgeVille
and Lord Baltimore high schools
have resigned and their places must
be filled.
The school trustees of these sec
tions will be presented with lists of
eligibles and their standing, and
will make a selection, which neces-
sarily must be approved by the State
Board Of Education. But one of the
places named has at this time any
idea as to who will direct the work
in higher education next year and
as a consequence the task of super
intendent of high schools assumes
an added burden.
During July and part of August
Mr.. Shilling will continue his sum-
mer studies at Columbia University
in New York City but will during
June and late in August be on the
job helping the trustees select their
school heads for the coming year.

(From Sunday Star, May 3Oth)

CFrom Sunday Star, May S0th)
High Schools of Delaware will
this June graduate the largest num-
ber of graduates in the history of
the state, outside of Wilmington. Di-
plomas for 800 young men and wO-
men will be presented which is 80
more than last year, which was con-
sidered an unusually large number.
This fact bears out the exceptional
interest that has taken root in Della
ware in the past few years and the
commendable ambition of the boys
and girls to become better educated
than their fathers and mothers
were.
4 The sessions which have practical
1y closed, because high schools are
now either holding commencement
exercises or else giving final exams
to students, has been the best, many
believe the state has ever experience
ed. During the past year a founda-
ton for the fundamentals has been
placed in the curriculum to correct
any defects that may have existed
prior thereto and which meets the
criticism of those who have said
too little attention was being paid to
"readin', ritin' and rithmetic."
Because high school instructors
have been more plentiful than the
demand has enabled the Delaware
school authorities to obtain more
proficient and better qualified in
structors, and the result has been
improved instruction. The chances
are that the coming term next fall
will witness those teachers who have
left being replaced by still more
trained and experienced instructors,
so that there will be no let up in the
steady progress made in the high
schools.
Last falls enrolment among the
high schools was a record breaker. /
Those who like to guide their pre-
dictions by the law of averages and /
cycles believe that the peak has
been reached, but others think the
swing to higher education has but |
started and they believe next fall .
will witness even a larger registra-
ton in the higher schools.

Important To LiVestOckmen Of
Glendale
I have been asked to cooperate in
the final tuberculosis drive in FL
lendale community. 1t is important
that not a single herd Of livestock
escape being tested in this drive to
entirely eradicate tubercular cattle,
and put Ellendale community on the
accredited herd lists. A few dollars
lost now will mean hundred of dol
lars gained, if we follow up this
drive and develop the live stock in
dustry in Ellendale community. You
cannot find a section better suited
to the economical production of live
stock than here within a radius of
three to five miles of Ellendale. Any
question about this drive will be
gladly answered.
Every livestock owner should get
in touch with Mr.. M. c. Vaughn,
Sussex County Agent, Georgetown,
and make sure the herds are clean,
and keep them so by buying only
livestock that we know are free from
If we cooperate in this
drive and clean up the diseased cat
tie, know we will get cooperation
from the county agent when we have
good clean cattle to sell. We will re-
ceive good prices. Please cooperate
in this final drive, and put Ellendale
on the accredited list.
