Hon. John w. Rollins
Speaks On Education

In my first three talks in this
series | discussed our 1860 Re-
publican State Platform, my pro-
gram on finances to get the state
out of the red, reapportionment,
and corruption in government.
This time | will speak of Educa-
ton in Delaware.
Education is the concern of
every alert parent, grandparent
and citizens of our State. All of
us, I'm sure, are thankful for the
many devoted and dedicated peo-
pie in the field of education. Some
one had to teach Jefferson, some
one had to teach Lincoln, someone
had to teach you, and someone had
to teach me- Will today's children
who grow up to lead this country
be equal to the many challenges
they will face? / believe they will
if we get to work and solve some
of the problems which exist in
education today.
We have the resources and the
brains in Delaware to make this
state outstanding in the field of
education.

Traditionally held at the County

attracts many visitors to pictur-
esque Georgetown.

this years observance, which will
most likely include a parade, OK
roast, chicken barbecue and an adj
dress by prominent speaker as
well as the appearance of success

from all over the county gathered
in Georgetown on that day to learn
the results and to greet the sue
ceSSful candidates.

tory of Delaware, published in

others interested in Delaware's
past, has this to say about Re

immemorial, is to hold high carni-
val on the day when the results
of a general election are announ-
ced. On this Returns Day the Off

sheriff presiding. meets at George
town at twelve o'clock noon. But
early in the morning people from
all parts of the county, and even
from Maryland, may be seen CON-
ing to the cOunty-seat, some walk
ing, others on horseback, and still
others in wagons and carts drawn
by one or more oxen. by an OK and
horse, an OK and mule, or sew
eral oxen and horse, the vehicle
being gaily decorated with bright
colors or flags. Often this crowd
presents a motley appearance,
some being dressed. in costumes
which were used in primitive
times, and others purposely ar
raging themselves in an outlandish
manner to give more zest to the
spirit of the occasion.

come to town and are met by a
