PIERRE DU POINT HELPS
ANOTHER SCHOOL
EContinned from first paael

LG0HttHHed from JTSt P0yEI
vania, will now have a splendid Jun
ior High School, to cost about $780,
900. They voted for bond issue OF
100000, thus meeting the condition
imposed by Pierre S. du Pont, who
gave $150,000. Mr.. du Pont has made
similar gifts in Delaware under sim
liar conditions.
The idea, as we see it, is good.
Here in Delaware our educational
system tries to give the children Of
the towns and the rural districts as
good a chance to obtain an educa-
ton, if possible, as those in the cit
les. Hence, our country schools are
being constantly improved. With
this new junior high school both par
ents and teachers and pupils will be
inspired to press forward. The edu-
cational facilities of the district will
be very much improved, ard there
will be many advantages from the
new school.
