our legislative committee to present
bill to the 1887 session of the legis-
lature designed to protect teachers
from discharge for political, relig-
iOus, personal, or other unjust rea-
sons. Such a law should not pre-
vent the dismissal of teachers for
physical incapacity, incompetence,

In 1885 is urged in another resOlu-

vides that "a concerted effort be
made by these committees (retire-

governor of the State and the 1887
Delaware State Legislature in enact
ing a suitable retirement law for the
teachers of the State" Attention is
called to the Federal Social Secnr-
