REHOBOTH SCHOOL PLAN

Superintendent Of. Rehoboth
Schools DR.. J. A. Vansant this week
discussed with some 200 persons
mostly parents-the pros and cons
of the much-talked about school
redistricting problem here in the
high school auditorium.
The officials said it seemed to
him that few knew of the implica-
tions of the plan which would Join
the Lewes, Milton and Rehoboth
areas. Thus, he told them, his pri-
mary purpose was to present both
the advantages and disadvantages.
Among the former, DR.. Vansant
explained, was that of accredita-
ton. Of the three schools only
Lewes has an accredited high
school. He said that larger schools
USUALLY have a better chance to
achieve this rating.
He also said another advantage
afforded by the proposed change
would be that of greater services
and diversification He said that
consolidation could make possible
the addition of such courses as art
and agriculture.
On the other hand, the speaker
told the attentive group, problems
to be faced are many Among those
he listed were increased local taxes
multiplied transportation difficult
ties, "losoi Of opportunity for tran
sported students to take part in the
extra curricular activities and a
.lessening of contract between pupil
teacher and parent.
DR.. Vansant said that under the
new plan the bonded Indebtedness
Of all schools would be taken over
by the new school district. This he
pointed out might put heavy tax
lead Gu an area which has a light
one.

In popular music, too much appeal at

la Vie en- Rose" has been offered
to the American public under two titles.
and in two translations, but the popular
title is the French one, rare sort Of

Life Is Rosy" is about as close as one

title. evidently.
A love song, of course, but not in the
saccharine American manner. Somehow
when we Americans sing love songs. we
tend to make them as mushy as pos
sible, just as we make our praise Of the
Old Home State somewhat silly, when
we stand at State society meetings and
sing of our faithfulness to the place
where we were born.
