STATE EDUCATION BOARD
no HEAR BUILDING NEEDS

A report showing new bull
ding requirements for the
State Board Of Education will
be presented by Superinten-
dent Fl. v. Holloway at a
meeting Of the board in Dover
today. A request for this in
formation was made by the
board at its last meeting in
an informal discussion of
school needs.
Several special school dis
tricts, particularly Milford
and Dover, have been asking
for new buildings. In addition
a new administration building
is favored by DR.. Holloway.
One of the things to be TAX
en- into consideration by the
board is the decreasing sur
plus in the school fund, due to
the expenditures of the board
being in excess of the income
for the past several years.

A VITAL POINT
Tommyrot! It's no more tyr
amy to expect teachers to take
oaths of allegiance than it is to
demand that gentlemen shall wear
pants over their union suits.
There are certain social gestures
required of all normal people.
Harmonious human society is
based upon such gestures. Wear
ing pants is one of them. TAX.
ing an Oath of Allegiance is an
other.
A person may be modest with
out wearing pants-and loyal
without taking the Oath. But why
not accept the simple symbol or
ceremony which is universally &C
cepted? Why all this revolt
against the Status Quo-particu'
larly in a Teacher?
A teacher, by her very choice
of profession, gives her life to
serve that Status Quo. She earns
her three squares by training
youngsters to honor and observe
it. No one makes her do this
If she doesn't like living or teach

GSTRUE hope is based on energy of char
l. acter. A strong mind always hopes,
and has always cause to hope, because 1t knows
the mutability of human affairs, and how slight
a circumstance may change the whole source OF
events such spirit, too, rests upon itself; it
is not confined to partial views or to one par
ticular object. And if at last all should be
lost it has saved itself-VONKNEBEL.'
To work in the present and keep hope alive
in the future is the destiny of man. Hope to
our daily lives is what the beautiful sky is to
the earth, with it's recurring sunrise and sunset,
and the beauty of the clouds.
The Greek Thales, father of Philosophy
as we know it, who lived more than $500
years ago. said: 'Hope is the poor mans
bread" 1t is more than the poor mans
bread, it is the rich mans incentive, the poor
mans consolation, the greatest comfort of all
the human race.
Hope is another word for courage, both mean
that their possessor refuses to confess defeat.
When Goethe wrote: "Courage lost, every
thing lost better thou vert never born" he
might well have used "hope" instead of courage.
For when hope is lost, everything is lost.

sion grinding millions idle, fortunes swept away,

Journeys
MADRID

If you are tired of the sights
and delights of Paris, London, Ber-
lin or Vienna, we would advise you
to make the journey to Madrid
and tarry a while. You'll find the
beauty of old Madrid and the
charm of the new part of the city
will yield you a new delight and
lots of worth while sightseeing.
The old town has some glorious
architecture. A glorious perspective
is furnished by the imposing mass
of the palace and the cupola OF
San Francisco el Grande against
the foliage of the Campo del Moro,
the garden of the former royal pal
ace, and the Castilian plain. Every
where are old streets and squares
each with some link of the Madrid
of the BourbonS and HapsbUrgS.
The Plaza de la Villa, the Plaza
Mayor, the crowded Gale de To
ledo all keep alive picturesque old
Madrid with it's flamboyant beauty.
The Plaza de la Villa has the
Tore de los Lujanes, the Casa de
CisneroS and the lovely town
hall. Then there is the Plaza de
la Republica also with its build
ings and Statuary.
In the center of the modern city
there are still vestiges of old Mad
rid. Now, with the extension OF
the town the old Puerta de Alcala
is right in the town. In the Gale
de Alcala and the. Gran Via bust
ness and amusements are centered
and the whole district teens with
animation and charm, tinged with
old world beauty. This district is
framed by the Retro, beautiful
park that provides a leafy setting
| for the new town.
