While IL is the plan of the State
Board of Education to consolidate
high. school areas eventually into
large centralized high schools with
probably only two or three high
schools for each county and while
that plan may eventually come
about, it is rather doubtful that any
of the children who are now in
Greenwood School or elsewhere in
Sussex County or Kent County will
attend such school. SUI b
changes come about very slowly
because public sentiment crystal
ICES slowly. People are unwilling
to give up the autonomy of their
own schools. They want to keep
their tax dollars at home, TO in
crease the value of their own prop
critics by having their own high
school and community center In
their midst, to build up their own
town and the businesses thereof As
everyone knows, the population fol-
lows the school location and the
businesses go along, too, or close
down.
Can you imagine that Bridgeville
and Harrington are ready for cen
trali4ation yet? Either may be will
ing to absorb us. but they then
would need more room and we
would have TO help pay for their
school additions.
Regardless of. when CT now a big
centralized high school comes
about, Greenwood School has a real
and immediate problem. The ele-
mentary school is splitting over in
to the high school side of the
building and crowding high school
classes into close quarters, Shall
we permit a repetition of what
happened in 1920 and 1921 and by
our own act mot by the act of
the State Board of Educationl re-
duce our school to an elementary
school?
1t is impossible at this time to
give the exact tax rate. ANY figures
we have been using thus far have
been based on a tax on real estate
alone and that would seem large.
We are working on a plan for a
capitation tax which would more
nearly equalize the tax on all per-
sons and greatly reduce the real
estate tax so that our tax will be
more nearly commensurate with
that of Bridgeville.

HISTORY OF GREENWOOD
SCHOOL



II is quite worthy OF note that
the costs involved by the construe-
ton of these first schools, as well
as their upkeep and repairs and
the salaries of the teachers, came
directly from the people of Green
wood District, without much help
from state funds or from the out
lying districts like Carlisle, Tat
man, Fishers, Adamsville and
others. These districts, which later
consolidated with rs, had their own
rural schools 10 finance.
A report of 1910 on the condition
of school finances, to be found in
DR.. Miller's office in Dover, indi-
Gates that the legislature appro-
priated S60,685 for the purchase of
text books, ETC.. for the entire state.
After the purchase of text books,
the balance was to be divided
among 237 school districts. Each
district in the state received sos.
Not much financial assistance from
the state treasury in those days,
was there? 1t is recalled that one
property owner in Greenwood a
few years lated asserted that her
school tax alone was $4,000 for
that year. Small wonder that so
or 50 years ago, teachers began
teaching for $1,000 a month and
that, as late as 1917 or 1918 many
were receiving less than $4,000 a
month.
In order to make mention of the
early alumni of the school, we
shall revert bit. The year 1908
marked the year of the first grad
uating class of Greenwood High
School. There were four gradu-
ates, namely: Nellie Hayes MRS.
Norman Collison) Frank House
man; Estella Hughes Mrs. Estella
Reynolds, now a teacher in FELTON,
SchooD Il. Mae Owens. The two
surviving members of this class,
Mrs. COLLISION and Mrs. Reynolds,
have been two of the most loyal
members of the alumni associa-
ton in their attendance at the
alumni banquet and dance held in
April of each year since its Or
ganization in 1898.
Between 1903 and 1915 inclu-
sive, there were As graduates.
There were no graduates in 1904,
1905. 1906, and 1870. OF the As
graduates of this period, "a be-
came teachers. Five of these are
still teaching. and two of the five
are In Greenwood School. One,
Mr.. Knowles. became a supervisor
in Agricultural Education in New
Jersey; another became a lawyer,
secretary of state, and later con-
gresham Some became nurses,
some became housewives. Some
of the boys became businessmen !;
others became farmers. All have
reflected credit on their birthplace

MAGAZINE SALE

The school magazine campaign,
extending 10 days between Septem-
Der % and October 20, yielded a
total Of $1.46170, with a profit
20 the school Of $415.00. The room
having TIE highest number OF
sales was that Of Mrs Elsie o.
Bier's third and fourth grades,
whose total was $2603I, with Drew
Clendaniel as highest salesman,
whose own total was $6l.03. This
group received the ice cream treat.
4 he second highest salesman was
Johnny Conway with a total OF
$b2.50. Others who sold for more
than $4,000 were Walter Outter,
David Hynson. Donna Kay Wilson,
Ruth Hollinger, Ellen Hatfield,
Billy Troyer and Emma Jean Mar
vel. The following students did all
the detail work connected with the
magazine campaign: Ruth Ann
Hatfield. Caroie Schulze, Ruth Hol-
linger, Ronnie Hatfield and Dennis
Cannon. We greatly appreciate all
that the school patrons have done
10. help in this campaign.
With the proceeds OF the maya
zine sale together with other funds
being raised by the music depart
ment. a new piano Of the spinet
type will be purchased for the mu-
sic room. This type of piano makes

Training Device
Housebreaks Cow

By NIKE RIVISE

(AnOther in a series of odd and
interesting farming inventions from
the files of the United States Patent
Office.
ONE DAIRY FARMER liked his milk
from contented cows even as you and l.
And he wanted his cattle to be sanitary
as we'll. He went to work and thought
up an idea. The idea resulted in an
ingenious contraption
To keep the stall clean at all times,
he set up a very complicated device to
keep company with the milk dispensing
animals.
The inventor claimed: 1T is known
fact (does the COW know it?) that where
pointed object is arranged closely
above the back of COW, the COW will
not be able to hump up while in the
stall. AS result the cows will have to
control themselves while in the barn"
So the farmer-inventor arranged to
have this gadget fastened to the STAN
chion and placed over the back of the
cow. 1t consisted of board of pins.
If the cow tries to hump up she will
get stuck.
She will then relax and the board of
pins will spring back into place.
Well, it's not known what the cow
psychologists think about this frustrat-
ing contraption and whether the cows
can become neurotic enough to sour
the milk. And it is not known whether
any dairyman ever took a chance with
this oriental torture board.
But the inventor from an Ohio farm
got his patent just the same on October
81, 1924.
