MANY MORE APPLICATIONS

STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
DECIDES TO TAKE no ACTION
In Addition to Smyrna and Clayton,
Newark Seeks a New Addition
Others Ask for New Addition

At a meeting Of the State Board
Of Education recently many more
applications were received for new
school buildings Or additions to
schools under the 100000 school
building program act In answer to
request of the board a communica-
ton was received from Attorney Gen
eral Switzerland explaining some sec
tions of the building program law.
It has been decided By the board to
take no action On any Of the applica-
tions for aid in connection with build
ing projects until the board has re-
ceived the assessment on property for
these districts.
The law provides that district in
order to get a school or an addition
to school, must contribute an
amount fixed by the State Board
which does not exceed ? per cent Of
the assessed value of property in the
district. 1t is understood that in dis
tricts where the districts are already
bonded UP to per cent for new
schools, as . number Of them are, the
State Board of Education may, where
it deems necessary, erect an addition
without any further contributions
from the district. Claymont and Do
Ver are two of the towns which are
bonded UP to the full amount allowed
under the law.

ed, MiddletoWn, where school il held
iii several buildings, one of which IL
an Old academy more than 100 years
old, and Delmar, which has already
authorized a bond issue for new
school, but needs state aid
Applications for additions were
made by Gumboro, Harrington, where
4 new school was built few years
ago, but has become too small; Beaver
Dam, Harbeson, Newark, where the
fine new schoolhouse is too small and
third unit is desired, and Laurel,
which has one of the largest and best
schools in tile State but needs more
room On account of it now being nee
essary to use one Of the old buildings
which was in use before the present
school was built.
The case Of the Laurel school was
especially interesting because when il
wa built numerous people III the
State declared that it was 50 large
that its construction was a waste Of
money It has been too small for
sometime.
a telegram was received from the
State Superintendent Of Schools dated
at Jackson, Miss, asking the board to
allow the students i'll high schools and
colleges to contribute toward the re-
habilitation of the schools in the
flooded area there. The board decided
to refer the matter to the different
