ASR IT. AND ANSWER IT!
N' th^ir consideration of th© educa/tlona.1 problem Jn
i
Delaware, there are certain members of the Legis
lature who seem to delight in getting as far away from
the farts as possible and To pay more attention to Im
mediate non-ea«ential« than to fundamental essential«.
Therefore, it seems to us that, for it« own credit, the
Legislature as a body should welcome both general and

less bludgeoning of the State Board of Education.
If the children of our State are to be educated prop
If an efficient educational system Is to function prop
erly, Jt must be administered properly.
And behind both the system and its administration
there muet be an adequate amount of money for the
work.
If thé legislators will be guided in their av ion by
those three fundamental facts, they will not go far
wrong.
Here is a ltttl© contribution of information that it
will pay any .member of the Senate or the Houee to
read and digest:
More than 1.7«0,00fl boys and girls In the United
/States drop out of school each year between the fourth
and eighth grades, and Delaware supplias it« full quota
to that stupendous number.
This is the statement of A. N. Farmer, of the
Brotherhood of American Yeomen. He add« that out
of every 1,000 pupils entering rhe first grade only 680
survive in school to the eighth grade, and only 140
reach the fourth year of high school.
Recent figures issued by the Federal Board of Voca
tional Training showed the population of school *g<
between 6 and 20—numbers 33,260,870
373,975 were returned as attending school and 11,
Of these 21.
For the ages 10, 11, 12 and 13. combined, 686,000
boys and girls were out of school, while, for the same
four ages, 8,000,000 were in school.
At the 14-year mark the abandonment of school In
creases rapidly. Fpr the ages of 14 and 15 combined
the "out of school" boys and girts nui. ber 783.500. Of
the 16-year-old children 971,000 were eut of school and
1,000,000 were Jn school, an almost even break. Of the
17 -year-olds, 1,200,000 w»te out of sohoo], against
642,000 in school, almost two to one.
•'It Is a serious social condition," Mr. Farmer con
tinues, "when we have nearly 12.000,000 between the
ages of 5 and 20 years who are not in school of whom
approximately 3,000.000 are of the ages 14, 15, 16 and
17 years and nearly 6.000,000 in the ages 18. 19 and 20.
The bulk of these children who leave school so early
drift into the first Jobs available and land tn blind
alley' occupations. They are fitted for nothing In par
ticular and become
zensllip."
Each member of our Legislature should llsk himself
this question: ,
•Ts it my duty to do the best I esn or the worst I can
for the children of school-going age In Delaware?"
And then, let him answer the question for himself
and raise his voice and cast hi» vote in accord with
that answer. •

PUSH THIS PRAISEWORTHY PROJE<T
T1THOUT doubt the most significant change made
bj*social welfare worker» in Wilmington ln their
method came when they adopted the preventive In
the corrective point of view. A few decades
stead of
ago tlie object was to reform the poor criminal, place
the Wayward boy or girl in a house of correction. To
day the whole aim ts to prevent and anticipate crime
and delinquency. Porticularty with children the motto
is, "Get them before they go wrong."
Anyone who has had any experience w1t)j children,
especially the younger boys, know» that their outstand
ing trait Is activity. The boy from eight to fourteen
years of age 1« always doing something. He may think
occasionally but he Is on th© move always. There is no
such thing as keeping a normal boy idle. Hls nenoq«
structure demands action. It Is only a question of
what form his activity will take.
Wlthln recent years th# movement for orranlzed and
directed play for children has reached a place of su
preme importance. It has been found unsafe to leave
a gang of city boys and girt« to suggest to themeelve#
the proper sorts of play and recreation. There always
appear the few «pecked apples to «poll th# whole bar
rel. And, at th» same time, it has been learned that
children will respond to proper suggestion with regard
to beneficial recreation. It is only a question of which
presents itself to him with the stronger tug, the di
rected, equipped neighborhood playground, or the
leader of hls gang with forceful and frequently evil in
tent The neighborhood association with its equipped
playground and play directors haa proven its value the
country oveT.
One of euch associations 1n this city thst has been
doing work of inestimable benefit is the Pine Nelgh
borhood Association. This association, with Its head
quarters at Fourth and Pine streets, jg t n one of the
moet congested, districts of the city. If you look for
place» for children to play. Horse-drawn and motor
traffic Is very heavy in the streets of this section, and
the presence of grade railroad tracks and many trolley
lines make it physically unsafe for children to play ln
the streets. The outdoor playground takes fairly good
care of the Summer needs of the children, but right
now, in the winter time, conditions are not so good.
The Pine Neighborhood Association Is in immediate
need of >1,000 to fix up the children's indoor winter
field .house according-to plan* drawn up by the super
Intendent of the Park Board. A group of prominent
altizens has gone over the situation and endorsed the
movement to eecure this monfy. The endorsing com
mittee «fates that H believes the object la entirely com
mendable and call« upon citizens generally to lend *
helping hand.

gift dollars ripen Into aotual performance for good by

When the railways were returned to private opera

subsequently were granted by th. Railroad Labor
Board. Therefore the government continued th# guar

at >686,0*0.000 the amount that the government will
have to pay the railway companies to reimburse them

guaranteed the "standard return" will be about
>52,000,000 a month. The country'« first experience
with government operation of its'railroad* has been
an expensive one for everybody but moet expensive of
all for the taxpayer».
With those fact» and figure* before him to giv« de
tailed point to hls own bitter experience, no Intelligent
Delawarean can fail to commend the Republican ad
ministration in restoring the railways to private
trol. The chief handicap suffered since then by the
private control has been that most of the railways
which were fine going concerns when the Democrats
took them over were wrecks, or nearly wreck«, when
the restoration was made.

Miss Lockwood ln her examina
tion before the committee gave fig
ures to «how that the work bf such
organizations a« tit« Child Welfare
Comm isson has greatly reduced the
death rate of mothers in child birth
{throughout the United States and
; that there has also been a consider
able reduction bf such deaths in
Delaware. In Wilmington
Lockwood said in 1919 the infant
mortality rate up to the age of one
year was 136 per thousand and in
1921 it had been reduced to 89 per
thousand. She said the Child Wel
fare Commission and -other agencies
responsible for thi« reduction
in Infant death rate.
Figures for t1to past year, she
said, would probably »how a further
decrease. The fact that poor peo
pie have been going to the health
centers and getting the best of at
tention. she added, has helped to
bring about this reduction. ,

"That this work was a liability to

the commission has done in hls com

Miss Lock-wood said she favored j
the Governor's recommendation for
