A BROADER SYSTEM.

Delaware needs broader system all
around but it is Of her schools that we
would write to-day. In some commu-
mites the man who is not to the manor
born is prescribed politically. This is a
mistake. 1t is that within man that
should decide his qualifications, not
the place of his birth. We would not
make the least unjust criticism upon
our State or our people for there is
much in the history Of Delaware of
which every citizen may be proud
and the writer is loyal to the Dia-
mond State. In matters of education
especially, there has been a conserva-
tism however, that has not done our
people justice. The tax in many school
districts is three or four times the
amount it is in an adjacent district be-
cause the well-to-do and the politicians
mite and have transferred within their
borders their neighbors to reduce their
own taxation. It is the old story-the
strong are strengthened and the weak
are made weaker. This is but inciden-
tai yet it shows the need for a broader
system, a liberality that forgets selfish
ness.
Our people are contending for better
things and it is well. There are those
who favor compulsory education and
they are making not little stir in that
direction. Such agitation can but de-
velop facts and upon the true condi-
tion of affairs should our school system
be based. The TRANSCRIPT gives
space this week to the able paper read
before the Constitutional Convention
by Prof. Spaid, editor of our Round
Table. All will not agree with all his
arguments, that is not to be expected,
but few will not acknowledge their
force generally. 1t seems rather odd
that from conservative Virginia the
professor should come to Delaware to
tell Us Of our educational defects, the
yankee does that for US occasionally,
but the time has come to consider the
best thing to be done for the future of
the children Of Delaware. Prof. Spaid
is practical man, at the head one of
the most successful schools in the State
and his recommendations have weight.
We feel that nothing ismore important
to the future of State than its public
schools. The friends of better edu-
cation are doing a good work, and
petty criticism will not weigh against

PROTECTING THE FARMER.

The United States Agricultural Depart
ment is doing a great deal of hard work
to save the farmer from being fooled and
defrauded in the purchase Of seeds. At
tention should be called to this in order
that the efforts of the Government may
be properly appreciated by the people
they are trying to serve, and in order that
farmers may be able to profit by the work
performed.
In some recent seed Investigations 1t
was discovered that thousands of pounds,
probably tons. of grass and clover seed
are annually shipped into the country
which are mixed with those of many
kinds of injurious weeds. Not only are
the old pests of the field thus sown and
spread, but new varieties of nuisances are
being introduced. Paying hign prices for
this trash would be bad enough, but this
is not the worst of it: the weeds once es-
tablished on the farms are very difficult
to eradicate and they become perm
injury to the land.
Another evil which the seed investiga-
ton is trying 10 mitigate is the trick of
selling as novelties and at fancy prices
seeds that are either worthless or some old
variety that may be bought for far less
money and are in no sense novelties, al
though they may not be known in the
localities where they are advertised.

TWO NAVAL REFORMS.

There are two ways in which tt is likely
our navy will be improved under the new
administration. Secretary Long has ex-
pressed an intention to reorganize the
personnel of the service and very much
needed change has been pointed out by
Mr.. Henry W. Cramp OF the great Phila-
delphia firm of ship builders which will no
doubt be given attention by the Naval
Department.
The intention of changing the person
mel is not a reflection on The officers and
men now handling Uncle Sans war
ships. Their bravery and efficiency is
not questioned; but there are mum bers of
foreigners in the fleet and the contem M
pla Led change is to replace these with
Americans. 1t is not claimed that fer.
eigrers are not good sailors and cour-
ageous. for they could not hold their
places if they did not know their bust.
ness, and on some notable occasions they
have shown genuine heroism, but never
lheess it is believed naive Americans
would be batter.
The benefits are expected to come from
the experience proved fact that the Ameri-
cans make the best saiiors-chiefly from
superior quickness in learning and acting.
1t is claimed that the American seaman
will have at his fingers ends in months
time what it will take the foreigner a
year to learn. From some peculiarities
of ancestry and OF climate he also is faster
on his feet and will execute an order
while an English sailor is thinking about
it,
Aside from these reasons there is Ques-
tion OF national pride in having our ships
manned by our own countrymen. There
can be no doubt that, however brave
and honorable the foreigners might be,
yet in time of war the crew of a ship might
be put to some supreme test that only
valor sustained by patriotism could bear.
Love of country would be stimulus to
courage and an inspiration to quick
thought in time of crisis which no mere
will-power on the part OF the foreigner
could take the place Of
The improvement that Mr.. Cramps
criticism suggests is that ample provision
be made for the rapid armament OF our
great swift ocean steamers 80 they could
be used in case OF the sudden declaration
of war. 1t is true that some of the great
liners are now under contract that per-
mits the Government to SO use them if
war arose. but there exists no provision
for supplying them with modern guns.
Mr.. Cramp says it would tax the re-
sources of the Washington gun-factory 20
turn out guns in numbers sufficient TO
make these ships midable, even II they
had years notice. In striking contrast
to this is England's preparations for using
her traffic steamers for war purposes. In
forty-eight hours time she can turn one
of them into dangerous, armed cruiser,
equipped with rapid-firing guns and ma.
chine rifles.
