TEACHERS IN SESSION

The Delaware State Educa-
tion Convention IS now in ses-
sion at Newark. President
C. w. w. Schantz, superin-
tendent Of the S yrna
schools, is presiding. The
opening address Of President
Schantz was Dynamic Cit
izenship and Social Intelli-
gence." Commenting on the
gathering of teachers from
all parts of the State the
Morning News says:
''The general complaint to-
day is that our citizents as a
class are not interested in
public affairs so much as they
should be. The way to bring
about a change, we think, is
to begin when they are young.
Instruct the boys and girls in
citizenship and the considera-
tion of social problems. This
is highly essential for the
country with its industrial
and economic system under
going a change, the end of
which is not in sight. This
applies to the world in gener-
al. Young persons instructed
as indicated by the subjects
at the convention would not
be misled by the harangues of
demagogues.
"All sorts of problems re-
lating to the schools them
selves, teaching and the like
as we'll as the relation to the
public are being considered.
Among them will be: the
States financial status, finan-
cial support for public educa-
ton, health protection in the
community, intelligent par
enthood, background for our
thinking, student participa-
ton in school government, vo-
cational education, foreign
languages. These are but a
few of the topics. 1t al shows
that our educators are alive
concerning what is expected
of them. Surely with all these
subjects studied ard impress
ed upon the pupils the rising
generation should be fal
ahead of the present in every
way including enlightened
public duties"

all those elected. Their
friends wish them a sue

Matthews and Greenwell,
both Republicans, is given all
the more credit because they
