That work is for the Supervisor and
he or she is paid for that service as
a part of the school work. Each
Supervisor should report at least
three weeks or a full month before
the schools reopen, to perform the
preliminary work of his job, so that
only the minimum hours of time
may be required to get the class
work started. The law makes the
Principal, the Clerk of the Board
of Education, and their meetings are
held each month; hence the local
Board of Education in the Special
Districts, must require the presence
of the Superintendent and Clerk at
all their sessions. Balance sheets
must be presented at each meeting
showing the expenditures and bal
ances at all times; it is an easy job
for a competent man. The members
of Boards of Education in Special
Districts have to look after the SUI
perintendents as well as the school
management. Unless practical bust
ness methods are introduced in their
management of the schools, they will
fall down on the job and the results
will all be to the loss of the children
in educational advantages, which
they are entitled to have, but are de-
prived of, because members of
boards of education have failed to
realize just how big their duties are,
or how they can best work them out.
Failure to have the school work or
ganized and ready to start the
schools, must be blamed upon mem
bers of the board of education. No
school can function or give high
standards in study work where such
conditions exist. Just where the
power is located to correct this very
important trouble in public school
work in the Special Districts, when
it is found, it may be difficult to
state; but, it is certain that the Edu-
cation Committee of the legislature
can help to correct the trouble, by
reporting favorably an amendment
to the school laws, which would per-
NIT the removal of such individuals
from the school board effected, by
the State Board of Education and
appointment of those who are capa-
BILE of performing the duties for the
best interest of the people and the
children Of Delaware.

REPORT STATE CROPS
AS PAYING GROWERS
CONTINUED from flrst pagel

load This condition acted as a
barrier to any effort of fresher
peaches to obtain fancy prices if
they were no larger than the Georgia
Belle.
Watermelons the past week proba-
bly, reached the peak of the crop.
The melons were going forward by
the carload each day, and at Laurel
in the middle of the week more than
sixty carloads were shipped one day
by raid to city markets. But what
was more encouraging, the melons
brought good prices the medium
melons selling at 25 to IS cents
apiece. One carload of unusually
fancy stuff sold at $50 a hundred, or
So cents apiece and by the carload
lot. But that was an exceptional and
selected consignment of melons.
The crop of melons, it is antici
pated, will be an average one. There
would have been more only that the
vines died during the hot spell dur
ing June, and once the time for
growing passed there was nothing
left to the growers but take their
loss.
The crop of cantaloupes this year
has been normal as far as produc-
ton goes. Prices, however, have
not been anything to brag about.
Crates were selling last week for
from $1.20 to $1.75 which would
mean three to five cents apiece--nOt
much of a price to the grower.
Sweet Potatoes, A Plenty
Sweet potato growers hope to have
one of the finest crops in many
years. Last spring, due to the I'M
usually high prices obtained for
Sweets" last fall and winter, when
because other markets were short
and other sweet potato growing
states fell off in production, while
Delaware held her own, there was
an opportunity to get fancy figures,
Delaware growers did better per-
haps than they will ever do again,

ty cents basket which was five to
ten cents less than had been antici-
pated when the crop is at its peak.
Inquiries made by w. T. Derrick
son, Director of the Bureau of Mar
kets of the State Board of Agricul-
ture, among several surrounding
states regarding tomatoes did not
elicit anything to get excited about.
Out of several score of large dealers
to whom he wrote, he received re-
plies from but few and these ap-
parently were not interested.
The Interpretation put on this in
difference was that the dealers all
over the country were expecting to
find things their own way when they
started to buy. Otherwise, the big
commission houses would be con-
tracing for the tomatoes now. They
expect, according to tomato experts
to make their own price when the
season is going strong.
AS far as the production goes, how
ever, the output this year, from all
reports will be one of the heaviest
the state has ever experienced.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very favorable, while the vibrations are
extremely stimulating. Provided spec
ulative hazards are eliminated, it is
an auspicious occasion for any enter
prise OF a business or professional
nature. as well as for public or social
functions. Any plan initiated tomor-
row will, in all probability. be success
ful it being of course. understood that
it has already received deliberate
thought and study. The signs partic-
ularly denote that salesmanship In
business will be specially favored,
while in professional life lawyers
problems will present fewer difficulties
to solve than ordinarily. Theatrical
enterprises promise, also. good results.
and any family or social reunion will
be unmarried by any unpleasantness'
Children born tomorrow will, ac-
cording TO all the indications, suffer
from many infantile ailments. This
condition can be considerably amel-
iorated by careful nutrition and
plenty OF fresh air. After passing
through this ticklish period. they will
develop along normal lines. Tempera-
mentally they will be inclined to be
rather boisterous and very demonstra-
tive. Their characters will be like open
books. and slyness and deceit will be
foreign to them. They will not be very
studious. and will be more practical
than theoretical. and, while not eXtrav
agant, will not display any signs of
thrift or frugality. They viii be more
fitted to follow some outdoor vocation
than one of a sedentary nature.
Is tomorrow your birthday? If SO,
you are dissatisfied with present con-
ditions, and are in somewhat Of
quandary as to what you had better do
IN order to provide a remedy. You are
not a quick thinker, and your mind is
not AS alert as you would wish it TO be.
1t is possible, however that if you seek
counsel and advice from .others. you
viii see things from different angle.
You are too much disposed to with
hold your confidence, and too prone TO
see only your own point OF view.
Human experience often demonstrates
that i'm relating your own difficulties TO
another, even though that other may
not pe able 10 give suitable advice, or,
for the matter of that, any advice at
