STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
ORGANIZED AT DOVER YESTERDAY
New State Board Of Education Discuss Important Questions To
Come Before Them; Retain Present Personnel Of Admins
tratOn.

grades in Delaware last year, outside
of Wilmington, was S54.39. The cost
of educating all the students of these
Il schools where the attendance was
less than u for the past three years,
mas been upwards of $780, Some OF
the expense ran as high as S12O for
pupils.
Should the State Board of Educa-
ton, authorize the State Department
of Public instruction to proceed to
arrange for the closing Of these
schools, DR.. Holloway and his as
sistants will endeaVor to arrange for
transportation for the pupils to some
other and close by adjoining school.
If the district to which the pupil
should be assigned is crowded, 1t
may be that for q time the schools
will be operated with less attendance
than the law requires, but thtt VIII
be only an emergency. Just a. soon
as definite arrangements can be
made, the pupils would be assigned
to some other school
As the new members OF the Stato
Board is being organised there ts no
definite record Of their intentions
concerning the personnel OF the
State Department Of Education, other
than assurances received at the con-
ference last week. It Is not believed
that the new State Board Of Educa-
ton will make any changes this
year. Most Of the members are but
little conversant with school af1airs
and until they learn more about thetE
new Job, are satisfied to carry on az
things now stand. Among the items
which they will be called upon to
decide at once are those referring to
transportation schedules and regula'
tions and the necessary authorize
ton for textbooks and supplies.
Have Suggested Law
Concerning the building program
the members have the suggested law
which was proposed at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly tc
work upon as foundation, and will
undoubtedly seek to obtain the views
of the public before the convening Of
the next legislature in order to pre-
sent a bill to that body which will
meet the requirements Of the State
along lines that are either popularl5
approved or that are considered nee
essary.
On the way to Wilmington on Wed
nesday, the down-State members Oi
the new State Board Of Education
had an opportunity to view one Oi
the school buildings in the Rose Hill
district. There are now three sepa'
rate buildings used for school pur'
poses in that district which is con
sidered one of the most perplexinl
problems the State Board Of Educa'
ton has to consider. There have
been four referendums held By
means of which the promoters Of {
new school building have hoped tt
win approval of the voters of the dis
trict, but which have been defeated
The difficulty, it is stated, seems tt
revolve about the location of the new
building. Those on the west sidC
want it somewhere along the dl
Pont Boulevard, and the other fac
ton want it placed near the origina
building which is on the road tt
New Castle. This is but one of man.
knotty questions that the new STATE
Board of Education will have to as
sumo and seek to find solution

A QUICK WAY TO Make
SANDWICHES
By Mrs. Christine Frederick


The bread should be a day old so
as to have sufficient firmness. The
filling should be minced or chopped
fine and beaten into the already sof-
tened butter so that both are spread
on the bread together. The bread
should be spread before it is cut, and
the edges trimmed after the filling
and the slices are pressed together.
The sandwiches should be cut on the
diagonal, in finger slices, or shaped
with fancy cutter so as to be neat
and easy to eat. If they are desired
rolled, then the bread must be plac-
ed where it will get moist after the
sandwich is made so that it will roll
easily. Any material for filling
olives, cheese, nuts, Jams, raisins-
must be well incorporated into a
paste and with the butter so that the
filling will not come away from the
bread slices as they are eaten.
In serving a large group it is per-
haps easier to make large trays or
pIatters of salad and allow each
guest to help himself as it is passed.
With a smaller number, or for
buffet meal, it is sometimes a better
plan to arrange each plate and let it
be carried or passed to each individ-
ual guest. Use whatever system
seems to make. the service easier,
more attractive and suitable to the
particular occasion.-From The De-
signer Magazine for June.
Milford chronicle., 1926-07-02

Consolidation of the small schools
of the State outside of Wilmington
and a building program that will
come before the next General AS
sembly for its consideration, are the
two most important items which the
new State Board of Education, which
organized July 1st, will have to con-
slider.
Both of these items with which
school authorities throughout Della
ware are quite cOnversant, were dis
eassed informally at luncheon
meeting of the new State Board OF
Education held at the Hotel Du Pont
on Wednesday afternoon Of the past
week. DR.. Harry V. Holloway, State
SuDerintendent Of Public Instruc-
don. attended the meeting and took
mart In the discussion. The board met
for organization at Dover on Thurs
day, yesterday, July ].
Concerning the closing OF tne
smaller schools, DR.. Holloway told
the new members Of the State Board
OF the action taken by the present
Board of Education to clear the way
for whatever action the new board
shall take. On June IL letters were
sent to the boards Of trustees OF Il
schools in Delaware, the g1st OF
which letter was:
1.-THE school law provides that the
State Board of Education shall mol
he required to keep open any school
whose average daily attendance fol-
the past three years has been less
than twelve (12) pupils.
"a study of the records indicates
that your school comes under this
class. 1 am, therefore, writing to re-
quest you not to engage teacher to1
the coming year, until the state
Board has had opportunity to decide
whether they will apply the above
proyision of the law in your district
If YOU are in possession of facts
which would indicate an enrolment
for the coming year of as many as
Is or more children resident in your
district. who would regularly attend
YOUR school for the coming year,
should be glad if you would bring
them to my attention. In doing this
YOU should give the names Of the
children, their ages, and their school
grades"
21 Short In Attendance
These .21 schools are as follows
Sussex county-Salem, Flowers
Records, Union No. &c, Carlisle No
rs, Calhoun's, Hills No. 21, Belmouth
Godwin's, Roxana (colored).
Kent county-Raymonds, Cedar
Grove No. IA, Shorts No. 81, Carlisle

Grove No. SO.
New Castle county-State Road
Harmony No. 55, Howell's No. 5S
Oak Hill No. II, Patterson's No. 711s
Summit Bridge (colored).
DR.. Holloway explained to the new
members of the State Board the
State law and the fact that for the
past three years these 81 schools haC
failed to have sufficient attendance
to warrant their being operated. Tit
fact that each one of the pupils o
these 81 schools cost the State Boar(
of Education twice the amount o
money to educate them that it die
other pupils is one of the big rea
sons why the new State Board o
Education may decide to order th'
schools closed. The average cost o
