mony on Saturday
COMING DAY

After the formal Inauguration on
Saturday, DR.. William S. Carlson,
twentieth president of the Univer-
sity of Delaware, assumed his posi-
tion officially on Monday. At that

tion (which will give intelligent di-
rection to the forces of democ-
racy." DR.. Carlson, 40 year old
former dean at the University of

Federal Judge Hugh M. Morris, a
University of Delaware graduate
and president of the Board of Trus-
tees. Among those present at the
inaugural were Gov. Walter w.
Bacon, Lieut.-Gen. Eugene Rey-
bold, Federal Judge Richard S.
Rodney and Senator c. Douglass
Buck. DR.. Carlson, in accepting
the keys to the university and the
charter and bylaws of the corpora
tion from Judge Morris, declared
that democracy cannot become
static but must move forward if it
is to live. Therein lies democ-
racy's challenge to education" he
stated, stressing the need for a
system which will reward intellect
and extend the training provided
for the creative talent of our
youth. Judge Morris in his talk
outlined Delaware's heritage and
the contributions to national de-
velopment made by natives of this
state from the days of Caesar Rod
ney to the present. Saturday also

With just little more than
week to go in the hotly debated
campaign, both political parties are
busy planning and executing wide
ly varied activities to fully ac-
quaint the voters of Kent County

paign. The Democrats have been
holding a series of mass meetings
throughout the county, at which
the various candidates and other
speakers have addressed groups on
matters pertaining to the platform.
The Republicans, in direct contrast
have concentrated on making per-
sonal contact with as many of the
voters as possible through individ-
uals in the party. They are now
engaged in working through each
area without holding large meet
ings.
Candidates Active
Political work on both sides has
reached high peak as they seize
every opportunity to present their

LOCAL SCHOOL
TO BE VISITED
Education Important to Win
ming of Peace, According
to George w. Wright
U. S. EDUCATION WEEK

The week of November 10 is
American Education Week, spon-
sored jointly by the National Edu-
cation Association and the Amer
lean Legion, announced Mr.. George
w. Wright, Superintendent of
Schools, today. In continuing Mr..
Wright said, parents, patrons, and
friends of education are urged to
visit the Schools any day, between
the hours of 9 a. m. and 3 p. M,
Monday through Friday, during
this week. 1t is a fearful and diff
fcult task to win a war. The win
ming of the peace will be no easier.
This nation of ours, this America
the Beautiful, this land of industry
and science and fertile fields, has
proved to all the world its awe
some might. We must keep our
might right where it is right and
make it right where it is wrong,
not only in our relations to the ma
tions of the world but to every
single individual within our nation.
Need For Education
To win the peace either at home
or abroad will require universal
ly well educated people devoted to
a great ideal, that of promoting
the general welfare, of seeking the
common good, and of practicing
the Golden Rule. There is no al
tentative in a world where the
power of the atom has ben releas-
ed. Every child in our country de-
serves fair start in life, including
an educational opportunity that
will develop his talents to the full
est. Failure to provide such an
opportunity to all the children of
the nation is tragic in its conse-
uuellCtS.
8 Million Without Schooling
Totalitariian governments give
the people no voice in government,
no personal freedom. In our coun-
try most people make their own
decisions, but in far too many cas-
es they do not have enough educa-
ton to do so wisely. Of the alults
in the Nation 25 years of age or
over, 3 million have never gone to
school at all; 13 per cent have not
completed the fourth grade! 56 per
cent have only an eighth-grade ed
ucation or less; rs per cent have
not completed high school. Amer
leans cannot afford to permit these
conditions to continue. Many peo-
pie with little formal education are
among our best citizens, but, in
general areas of educational neg
lect are fertile soil for discomfort,
degradation, and demagoguery.
Good schools cost money, but we
spend considerably less for educa-
ton than for beverage alcohol and
only a fourth of what is spent for
transportation.
Democracy and our modern econ
omy would perish without educa-
ton. The money we spend for ed
ucation is an investment. The
three RS are imperative in modern
life and they still occupy larger
part of the school time than any
thing else. Preparation for citizen
ship, preparation for work, and the
enrichment of the lives of all the
people are other purposes of the
schools which need to become uni
versally effective.
To Hold Union Service
Visit your schools the week of
November 10. The public is invit-
ed to attend a Union Service in
itiating American Education Week
and commemorating Armistice Day
which will be held in the school
auditorium at 8 p. M, Sunday, No
vember 10. The full program will
appear next week.

hostess strategy to prepare serve
yourself refreshments ahead of

your guests a choice of games such
as Monopoly or a card game like
: Make a Million or Crossword Lexi-
con as an alternative to bridge. It's
thoughtful. too. to serve decaffein-
