New Building Program

That we realize the deplorable
housing conditions Of many of the
schools in our next Legislature the
enactment of a definite school build
ing program to remedy the present
situation.
That we favor the adoption of an
adequate Teachers retirement system
and request the committee now in
charge of working out plans for such
system, to prepare bill for the
next Legislatures consideration, re
questing that body to take favorable
action.
That the Legislature be asked to so
amend the school code, Of the State
that the compulsory provision snail be
made effective by adequate penalties,
and that proper officers be provided
for the enforcement of the same.
That we, recognizing that the in
crease in the attendance Of rural dis
tricts has been due to the untiring
efforts of visiting teachers, recon-
mend that the same system be ex-
tended to the special districts.
That We recognize in the Parent
Teacher movement a great power to
bring about closer cooperation be-
tween the home and the school and
the betterment of the work done in
the schools. We also commend the
work as well as that of other organi-
cations in the program of adult edu-
cation and pledge hearty support to
the systematic effort to eliminate ill
iteracy from the State of Delaware.
This association goes on record as
favoring the setting aside of fifty
cents per pupil a year from the gen.
eral educational funds, for the pur-
pose Of athletic and physical educa-
tion equipment, since the State by
law, requires physical education to be
given, the above funds to be distribut-

DELAWARE STATE TEACHERS
WANT 100000 FOR SCHOOLS
WILL ASK THE LEGISLATURE To
TAKE AMOUNT FROM SURPLUS
Wilbur HI. Jump Superintendent of
Caesar Rodney School is Elected
President of State Association

At the closing session of the Della
ware State Education Association Fri
day afternoon a number of important
resolutions were adopted. One of the
most important of these was one to
ask the legislature to appropriate ST.
100000 from the present surplus in
the State Treasury for the purpose of
erecting school buildings which are
deemed necessary at this time. This
is one of the new school building pro
grams which has been suggested sew
eral times by various organizations in
the State.
Another resolution asks the legisla-
trre to pass law enabling any special
school district to levy tax up to 25
cents on the $1O0 of assessed valua-
tion of property for the purpose of
making school Improvements without
referendum. Numerous districts
have been compelled to defer improve
ments because the voters, at a refer
endum, refused to authorize such
special tax. 1t was also recommend
ed that the legislature make an ap-
preparation for the physical examina-
tion of each child in the public schools
of the State.

declamatory contests and recommend
that the schools put on a more com
plete program for such contests.
That we appreciate the earnest eff
forts of President w. A. Wilkinson
and the other officers of this associa-
ton in making the association the
great success it is.
That we extend our sincere thanks
to the teachers of the University of
Delaware and those of the other
schools Of the State, and Ill others
that have pledged to make this con
vention the success it has been.
The following after discussion was
also unanimously adopted:
Ask Larger Pay for Grade Teachers
"We would beg leave to ask as a
matter of right and necessity that
there be an upward revision in the
salary scale for grade teachers in
Delaware. We feel that a properly
revised scale would make the maxi
mum salary for grade teachers at
least $1,000 per annum, and that the
classification, ranging, etc., below the
maximum should be so arranged as
to offer the greatest inducement to
all Delaware teachers by professional
efforts, to attain and then maintain,
the requested maximum standard sal
ary values. We would offer the fol
lowing urgent reasons for our re-
quest:
/. More is demanded each session
of the teachers, professionally, fnan-
cially and in the sheer amount of
work to be done by them. This should
be followed by more adequate re-
compense.
2. The widening influence of the
schools activities in the community
necessitates a growing demand for
more energy on the part of the teach
er. We believe that the pay should
be commensurate with this.
8. The purchasing power Of the
dollar, having declined SO much, nee
essitates more liberal survey of the
amount given teachers which, at first
glance, is thought to be adequate
Along with this should be noted the
erroneous impression which prevails
in some quarters because of the pay
of teachers by months. At present
the pay is for ten (1O) months only,
with two months of enforced idleness,
or else, the vacation months are spent
largely in summer schools at great
to the teachers.
A. Delaware, we think, should have
as high salary standard as the
States of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. At present such is
not the case.
5. Last, but not least, Delaware
can well afford this requested increase
because of the large amount Of school
money in the State Treasury still un-
and also because Della
wares incorporation laws, filing fees,
ETC., already provide for the future a
liberal State income for schools. This
is to say nothing of the great gifts
along school lines received BY Della
ware in recent years, which naturally
make her financing obligations for
schools easier to meet"

Nptv0LUTON OF SECURITY N@7
Assignats

In order to raise funds during
the French Revolution, the new
Government seized the lands of the
clergy and nobility and, with these
lands as security, issued notes
called Assignats. These notes were
really the forerunner of the mod
ern First Mortgages and would
have been based on sound security
if the pledged lapds had really
belonged to the pledgers Un-
fortunately, the counter-revolution
overthrew the government and re-:
turned the lands to their rightful
owners.
The First Mortgage of today is
secured by land and buildings be-
longing to the individual who bor-
rows the money. and in case of
non payment can be sold to raise
the funds with which to meet the
obligation. Therefore, your money
invested in these securities is safe
and secure and available at stated
periods.
And the First Mortgages issued
BY Swartzell, Rheem & Hensey
