(Syllabus by the Court.)
Appeal from Court of Chancery.
Proceedings by Marie E. Ziesel against William Ziesel. From an order advised by the Vice Chancellor, defendant appeals. Reversed.
On appeal from an order of the Court of Chancery advised by Vice Chancellor Learning, who delivered orally the following opinion:
Lewis Starr, of Camden, for appellant.
Leap, Sharpless & Way, of Camden, for respondent.
This, as will be seen, is an appeal from an order of the Court of Chancery requiring the appellant to pay for the support, maintenance, and education of his minor son, Edward Ziesel.

J., and in the early part of 1916 Mrs. Ziesel filed a bill in the Court of Chancery for the support of Edward, the minor child, and no question was raised as to the Jurisdiction of the court On July 10th of that year a decree was entered in that proceeding, awarding the care, custody, and education of Edward to Mrs. Ziesel, and requiring Dr. Ziesel to pay $5 per week to Mrs. Ziesel for his support, maintenance, and education, and leave was granted by the decree to either party to apply thereafter for such variance or modification thereof as changing circumstances might render equitable and just. In November, 1920, Mrs. Ziesel petitioned for a greater allowance, saying that Edward had attained the age of 16 years and was a "second year high school student"; that his father's income was from $10,000 to $15,000 per year; that she desired to send the boy to a preparatory school, which she named, where the board and tuition was $1,000 per year. It was on that, petition that the Court of Chancery made the order now under review, requiring Dr....
