School Every Day in
Year Seen by Educator

San Diego.-SchOol for "a hours
per day, seven days a week and
50 weeks each year, was predicted
here recently by Hubert S. Upjohn,
superintendent of schools of Long
Beach. in addressing southern Cal
ifornia educators on what school
changes are necessary to meet the
changing social order?"
He predicted that the school year
will be divided into three seasons
three months In farm school where
children learn to grow things; three
months city school where they
learn of city life and Industrial pro-
duction and the other six months In
book learning.
"Such a plan will be better for
children" he said, because 1t
shields them from contact with irri-
table parents, and gives parents
more time for bridge and other pur-
suits of their fancy"

SEEK LICENSE FROM ALL

The first Statewide canvass OF
business and commercial enterpris-
es operating in Delaware has been
commenced by the State Tax De
partment, it was learned recently.
This survey is expected to result
in a compilation of all the business
houses operating in Delaware.
Authorized representatives of the
department familiar with mer-
chants, manufacturers and occupa-
tional tax laws are visiting all the
business establishments to determ-
inc whether or not a license is re-
quired by the method by which
the business is operated In cases
where it is determined a particu-
lar license is necessary, instruc-
tions are left with the proprietor
or manager to call at the Whining
ton Office. State Revenue Collector
Wharton has begun a similar can
vass in the lower counties of the
State. After completion of this
work in Wilmington, the examin-
ing squad will check up through
out the county and assist him in
the remainder of the State. All
occupational licenses were due and
payable, according to the law re-
Gently passed by the Legislature,
in the month of June. Beginning
with July, graduated penalties
must be added to the cost of the
license These reach a maximum
of 25 per cent in September. The
high percentage of delinquents
shown to date is ascribed by the
Tax Department to ignorance of
the law in most cases. Thirty-one
per cent of the business houses
visited have failed to obtain proper
license or licenses. Although no
difficulty is anticipated by the De
partment after notice has been
given by its representative to
those who have failed to obtain IL
cense. attention was called to the
delinquent penalties provided by
law in addition to the specific per-
centage penalties. The statute
renders the operator of a business
without license guilty of a misde-
meanor punishable by a fine of not
more than $500 or by imprison-
ment of not more than two years
