"The State Board of Education
estimates that, with the earnest CO.
operation of the General Assembly
of the State of Delaware and the
Governor of the State of Delaware,
this plan of total desegregation of
the public schools of the State of
Delaware will become effective on
or before the fall term of 1870.
Part One will in the meanwhile be
in operation"
Provisions of the short-term plan
are:
/. Registration of Negro pupils
desiring to transfer and enroll in
white schools in the district in
which they live, beginning Sep
tember, 1861, and thereafter. The
Department of Public Instruction
would conduct registration for
state board unit schools "at a date
to be established" In special school
districts, superintendent will con-
duct similar registration.
2. Transfers are subject to "the
usual processing of the school sys-
tenn. Factors involved here are
adequacy of the facilities of the
receiving district" and ''such rules
and regulations as relate to the ca
pabilities of the pupils desiring to
be transferred" These include
scholastic attainments and "the
geographical location" of both pu-
pills and facilities.
3. In present districts with both
white and Negro schools, attend
ance areas are to be established
for each school ION a raciaIly nom
discriminatory basis" Pupils de-
string transfers are to apply to the

Some older people take pride in
their appearance, especially in
care OF hair, so several girls
washed and set hair. Several
helped older people to celebrate
spe cial occasions such as
Christmas, Easter and birth
days.
Other ways of helping friends
who lived alone and needed help
in daily activities were cleaning
the house. raking or moving
lawn. washing windows, hanging
curtains, gathering vegetables,
pruning shubbery, bring in water
and fire wood, etc.
The result of this project has
been most rewarding. The girls
have benefited from their re-
lationships with elderly people
and have grown up considerably
in their attitude toward older
people. The project has been
mutually beneficial. they agree.
Older people feel the impor-
lance of visit, kind word
and an understanding heart, and
the girls say "it is hard to know
whether our older friends or the
