THERE are people in this world who
take special enjoyment in the trouble

sorry to say, are generally OF the fenii-

nothing else but to gloat over others
misery, though they would spurn the no
ton that they were doiHg aught but
sympathizing" with an unhappy fellow
being. There are human vultures that
somehow scent disaster, and directly
trouble looms up ahead they begin hut-
tering around anxiously waiting for the
denouement in which they can figure as
the friendly counsellor and c0nfdante
who, nine times out of ten, rushes off di-
rectly from the home Of the afflicted to
retail elsewhere every detail IN the
graphic fashion which makes a gossip of
This sort SO popular in the circle that
thinks bit of scandal the per lection of

joint and the other below the knee. A

and then on to Milford, where DR.. c. w.
Marshall was taken on board and rapidly
carried to Lincoln also These two sur

son of poor widow, but not the only

IN these DAYS of much talk regarding
progressive womanhood aud the higher
education of the fair sex it is well once
in awhile to pause and note what sort OF
influence this higher nental development
has upou a woman's actions, where do
mesticily aud marriage are concerned
10 one who undoubtedly believes that a
woman should know all that she can
possibly store up III her pretty head it is
evidently and pleasantly SO, too, that the
higher education of women has FROM the
start shown tendency TO disincline
those who take college courses toward
early and imprudent marriages. Wisdom
and precautiou apparently have come
hand in hand to take possession of the
fair ones heart aud brain A recent
canvass Of college graduates is said to
have shown that while 90 per cent. Of
uou-college woman become wives, only
Is per cent. Of college graduates resign
their lives into the keeping of husbands.
From other sources it is learned that
those who marry do not swell the lists Of
invalid wives; neither do so per cent. Of
the children born to them figure in NOR
tal;tv tables, as is the ghasilv fact with
the everyday woman's children College
women are not apt to marry a man 10
save him, and thus insure for children
morally weak or vicious fathers; neither
does love ~ in a cottage appear 10 her
finer or more winsome than the sell-re-
specting Independence of the bread-win
ming positions that are now withir her
reach. Years ago some conservative men
bad the perspieacity to realize aud the
courage TO state that fuller life for woman
meant the lessening of her interest in
marriage Che only profession our fore
mothers had been permitted 10 cousider1
and that she would be harder to please
and more deliberate IN der choice That
the prophecies have come TO pass is mat

Seqf0Jd, DEL, November 9, 1895.
TO THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE FREE
SCHOOLS "F SUSSEX COUNTY:
GENTLEMEN 1T has long been the
popular idea that the School Commits
sioners should be induce d, III some man
ner, to attend our annual Institutes
Every man, whatever his condition in life,
should strive to arrive at a more perfect
system. He owes it to himself, to his
neighbor, to his State and Nation, 10
reach as high an intellectual and moral
standard as possible. Every man that
has an important function to perform rel
alive TO the public school, should see to it
that that function is performed in the best
possible manner, Hence for the e6ihca-
ton of our school commissioners, as well
as teachers, the Twenty First Annual
Institute for sussex county has been ar
ranged 1t will be held in Dorsey Hall
Milford, Del, December 4th, Sth, 9th aud
7.h. and all school commissioners should
strive to he present, at least. one day OF
lis session. Great preparation has been
made, and it promises TO be one Of the
1ely best Institutes that WAS ever held IN
this Stale
INSTITUTES ARE GREAT EDUCATORS
Therefore, should the presence Of onr
school commissioners be secured the
cause Of popular education in this county
would receive more attention in the fu.
inrs FROM the masses of the people and
relieve to very great extent the burdens
now so onerous to the teacher. II is true
that a great deal Of the embarrassment
under which teacher labors from year
10 year grows out ofthe fact tina. many of
oar school boards do not make prop er
study Of our great educational system.
School commissioners are looked upon
AS men interested IN education, and WHO
have the welfare Of the children OF their
district at heart Therefore they should,
it possible attend our county institutes
and thus grow in the knowledge with the
teachers, Of what advancement we are
capable Of making in our great educa
iioual work also be the more able 10
judge Of the fitness aud qualification Of
teacher, etc
PROF. HtNRY noucK WILL SPEAK

pared address in Windsor Hall, Milford
on Thursday afternoon, December 5th.to

PERTAINING as well as exceedingly insiruc-
tive All school boards should altend The
