setting forth their views:
I'VE have filed our names as can
didates to be elected to the Milford
Board of Education on May IA,
1855, because we believe our boys
and girls are entitled to more than
the minimum three FRS" as an edu-
cational program.
1--WE endorse program which in
cludes vocational subjects, CONNER
cial instruction, manual training,
homemaking, agriculture, visual
aids, health programs, music, art,
guidance counseling, and competi-
tive sports. The educational oppor-
tunities available to all boys and
girls should be expanded rather
than curtailed. We want our chill
dren to have educational opportuni-
ties equal to those in Seaford, Do
yer, New Castle or any other Del
aware school.
"As candidates for board mem
bership, we do subscribe to the fol-
lowing:
81. We intend to maintain and, if
possible, surpass the existing high
educational standards of the Mil
ford School District.
SO. We intend to employ only
good, understanding teachers devo-
ted to the teaching of children.
80. We believe in just but firm
discipline.
Not Local Problem
"a. I'VE look upon indignation as
national and state problem and
not as local issue.
