DeIalOare Is GroL0ing
Faster Than Alaska

continued from page one)
the last Official Decennial Census
was taken, to July L, 1857, basis
of the latest U. S. Census Bureau
provisional estimates, Delaware
enjoyed a 37.7 percent population
increase. Alaska grew So percent
in civilian population in the same
period
Inasmuch as tiny Delaware cur
rently has more than twice as
many people as giant Alaska, Del
aware's population gain of the past
seven years is actually greater
than Alaska's on a per capita basis.
Delaware, which had popula-
tion of 318,085 in the Official Cen
sus of 1850, passed the 100000
mark for the first time in early
1856 and scared to an estimated
438 900 in mid-1957.
Delaware's greatest population
gains since 1850 have apparently
Peen made in the areas outside of
the City of Wilmington, rejecting
perhaps a nationwide trend to sub
urban living. Wilmington, which
had an official 110,356 population
in 1850, had an estimated 114,857
residents a year ago, while New
Castle County, outside of the City
of Wilmington, had an estimated
population of 174,143 on July /,
1857, as compared to 109,460 for
the same area in 1850.
Substantial gains have also been
made in Delaware's lower coun-
ties: Kent County, which had 81
$40 people in 1850, had an estima-
ted $500 residents in mid-1957;
and Sussex County, which had 61,-
336 persons at the time of the last
Official Census, had an estimated
80,400 as of July 1, 1857.
Largely because of the growth
of Las Vegas and of atomic testing
facilities in the state, Nevada, ac-
cording to U. S. Census Bureau es-
Inmates, is still the fastest growing
state with an increase of 66.6 per-
cent for the seven-year period end
ing July 1, 1857. Arizona grew 51.5
percent and Florida 47.9 percent
according to estimates covering
the same period. Alaska, upon it's
admission to the Union, will still
trail Nevada in percentage of in
crease but will drop Arizona, Flo
rida and Delaware one notch in
the standings.

Schools Offering
Science, Mathematics

All junior aliG senior high schools
in Delaware, outside the City of
Wilmington, offer courses in science
and mathematics, according to a
survey made by DR.. Howard E.
Row, Assistant State Superinten-
dent in Charge of Secondary Edu-
cation. "Of greater significance" ,
says DIR. Row, sis the fact that all
of these schools offer mathematics
courses at every grade level and
all except two schools offer science
courses at every grade level" "It is
unfortunate, however, DR.. Row
continues, that over half of the
senior high schools outside the City
of Wilmington are able to offer ply
sizes and chemistry only in alter
nate years because Of the low en-
rollments in these high schools.
Larger high schools would elmin-
ate this situation and would per-
NIT the offering Of physics in the
State. .
Mathematics taught in grades z
and consists mainly Of arithmetic,
with an introduction to algebra and
geometry being offered in grade 8.
In grades nine through IL the most
commonly taught m h m tic s
courses are first and second year
algebra, plane and solid geometry,
trig0ronetry, business arithmatic,
and general mathematics.
While there seems to be some
variation in science offerings a.
mong the schools, the science
course in grade generally in
cludes instruction in fire and its
control, water power, weather,
light, and recent, energy, machines
and their uses, astronomy, clim-
ate, current dev eIopm N IS in
science. General science is offered
in grade 8; biology in grade 10;
chemistry and physics in grades IL
and IL.
The mathematics and science pic
ture in Delaware compares very
favorabIy with that of the rest of the
country. However, the establish
ment of larger high schools with
higher enrollments," concluds DR..
Row, 'would make possible more
effective programing and teacher as
signments. Many of the ills Of small
high schools can be cured only
through a program of reorgani-
zation."

Latest underpinnings news in

"fiip-top" bra that permits a girl
to change the shape and position
of her bosom. If the dress re-
quires a naturally rounded bust
line, the convertible flap of the
bra cup is worn turned up. If an
uplifted and accepted bustline is
desired, the flap is turned down,
giving more support underneath
the bust. This is bra that leads

On Teaching Mission

WASHINGTON - The
Church's right to teach
extends to moral ques-

truths, the Bishops of the
United States have declared.
"As in matters of faith she
has the right and power to
teach truth anG to distinguish
1t from heresy, so in the
fields of morals she has the
right to define virtue and to
distinguish it from sin,"' they
/. said.
The Bishops made this point
In a statement on s'The Teach
ing Mission of the Catholic

half by the Administrative
Board of the National Cath
Ollie Welfare Conference.
The statement was adopted
during the annual general
meeting of the Cardinals,
Archbishops and Bishops of
the United States, held at the
Catholic University of Amer
lea here.
The Bishops said the state
ment was issued to s'reaffirm
in the confusion of mod
ern pluralism' the traditional
right of the Church to teach.

Citing the "heavy inroads"

that there is a genuine urg-
