Apparently we were defeated
Two votes in the Senate were lack
ing to pass the school building pro-
gram after it had already passed
the House of Representatives In
reality we are far from defeated. We
have made education the first duty
of the state in the minds of a vast
majority Of its people"
School Building ObjectiVes
He thus stated the school build
ing objectives:
First: We wished to make dem
OnstratiOn of practically every type
of school required in Delaware from
the one room rural negro school
through various types of consolidate
ed schools to the great city struc-
lures that would house from 1900
to 1,700 pupils. This has been accom-
plished.
Second: We planned to build
school houses which would conserve
the eyesight, the general health and
the safety of the pupils.
Third: We endeavored to make
our buildings so attractive that tea
chers would not only be proud to
use them but find therein. inspira-
tion for obtaining the best results
from the pupils.
Fourth: We have tried to get
true balance between first costs and
annual maintenance. Our school
houses could have been built more
cheaply, but the annual repair bill
for the succeeding 40 years would
have mounted higher year by year.
He commended the cooperation of
the architect, James o. Betelle of
Guilbert and Betelle as Showing
fine instinct for the necessities of
Delaware"

terfering with their good, and that
is the custom of allowing a team to
leave the school early in the after
noon to go to neighbOring or dis
tant town to play a game of ball.
Quite frequently the group includes
not only players but others who are
interested. This custom is frequent
ly fostered and encouraged by local
fans and newspaper correspondents,
all of whom are friends of the
school and would not do it any harm
except thOughtlessly.
Another custom which interferes
with school work is the practice of
going to a basket ball game on an
evening which precedes the school
day. In the nature of things the
crowd is larger and gets home late
This robs young people of their re-
quired and customary rest and ser
iously depletes the energy which
they should put upon their next
days work.
"As I said at the beginning, can
not believe that the tax payers and
clear thinking people of a commun-
ity can justify such interference
with proper functioning of the insti-
tuition for which they pay a great
deal of money and to remedy the
situation I propose for the school
people of the State three PROPOSE
tions:
First: Ball games must be played
only on Saturdays and holidays.
Second: Basket ball games must
be played only on evenings which do
not precede school days.
Third: Base ball games if played
on school days must not begin ear
lier than p. m.
Think these matters over seri-
Ously; talk them over freely with
any who would be interested; and
if you care to, write to this depart
ment concerning what you think
would be the proper decision on
these three propositions.

makes a concentrated solution.
1t should be applied to the greens
of golf links, lawns and meadows
by means of a sprinkler.
Experiments made with this lar
vacide so far have proved that its
proper application results in a 80
per cent. mortality rate of the
"grubs," according to Hr. Hornig.
Beetles ON Increase
The beetles are now in a cocoon
state and during the first week of
June they will emerge from the
pupae in great swarms and cover
large area in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and northern Delaware. De-
spite the fact that State and Federal
authorities have wager war on them
for about seven years, their number
increases every year. The Federal
Government has obtained some sue
cess in it's fight on the pests through
the introduction Of Japanese para
sites which feed on the beetle, but
these parasites have just begun to
ravage the beetle and it is too early
yet to expect very effective results.
AS yet none of the pests have been
found in lower Delaware. but it will
be only through careful watchful-
ness that they will be kept from
spreading to this section of the state.

which makes the state income tax
law conform to the Federal law will
bring in S264,OOO additional revenue
to the state. This was an amount
sufficient to pay the interest and
sinking fund on the $2,000,000 bond
issue asked and put about $4,000
additional each year into the state
treasury. If the law works out this
way, and it is generally believed
that it will, then the state, when
the two fiscal years have rolled
around before another appropriation
is made available for schools, should
have more than a half million dol
lars in the treasury than it would
have had if the school building pro-
gram had not bee advocated.
In other words the agitation over
the construction of new schools will
probably result in giving the state
over half a million dollars revenue
in the next two years which it would
not have had but for the school agi-
tation. It is pointed out that the
state has received the benefit even
though the children did not get the
schools.
