Mrs. Dyke on "Geography "

"Geography' was the subject of
an interesting lecture by Mrs. Els
tella Darrah Dyke before the
Primary Teachers Association
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Dyke
was until recently connected with
the Leland Stanford Jr., University
at California.
Mrs. Dyke read reproductions of
excursion work written by Mime
sofa and California children, and
some interesting papers descriptive
of the visit Of some public school
children to the museum of the Le-
land Stanford University in answer
to the question of what most inter-
ested them. Some of the papers
were quite amusing and others
showed thought along the right
lines. Three years ago Mrs. Dyke
compiled answers from seven hun
dred children in San Mateo county,
California, and seven hundred in
st. Paul. to the question, What
person that you have heard of
would YOU most like to resemble?"
Why These were Incorporated
into The Ideals of Children and
are an exceedingly interesting story
of the child-mind. The earliest
ideals are found universally in the
home life of the child. while child
ren. above twelve years, find theirs
often in historical personages.
Goodness is the quality that APP
peals to the greatest number as the
cause for emulation. The incor-
poratlon into geography and his.
tory of the human side Of life was
made of apparent necessity to Mrs
Dyke as the result of her research
into the ideals children set for
themselves.

TIE Every Evening eulogizes the
honesty Of the Democratic Election
COMMISSIONER 10 Kentucky, who
awarded the certific ates OF election
TO Taylor. the Republican, instead
OF Goebel, the Democratic nominee.
The action was unexpected, yet as
honest men they could do nothing
else and preserve their own reputa-
ton. The Every Evening makes
fhia an occasion to eulogize the
Democrats and after uniustly re-
fectins on the Republicans for their
courae in the Electoral Commission,
which made Rutherford b. Hayes
President, and the decision OF con-
tested election cases in the House
OF Representatives, proceeds togive
an untruthful statement u the ac-
tion Of a Democratic Board of Can
vas, going behind the returns to
correct errors that elected the
Democratic candidate for sheriff
instead of the Republican. The
Democrats and not the Republicans
were responsible tor the muddle in
regard to the election of sheriff.
The late VIM. G. Whiteley and VIM.
Smith of New ark, frustrated the
attempt OF a number of the Demo-
rrats to return Purnal ]. Lynch as
sheriff instead of James Martin,
and the other case was the effort to
count out VIM. r. Finn and give
the certificate Of election to James
B. Toman. For this conspiracy,
ten Of these honest Democrats were
sentenced to pay fine Of 500 each.
TLen again, the honest Democrats
OF Kent county refused to count the
votes OF several districts, which
would have elected the Republicans
to the Legislature and to the State
Convention. AS a resultof this dis.
honest act, the Democrats were en-
abled to control the Convention and
the Legislature and send General
Kenney to the United States Senate.
The Every Evening should refresh
its memory before it undertakes to
talk about Democratic honesty.

1t amount to nyhow? He has man

want to say that Kent county will
be harder TO hold at the next cleo
ton for Mr., Addicks than ever.
Wilmington will give him smaller
vote than at any election since his
advent into Delaware politics. The
people are sick and tired Of the
Union Republican leaders of Ken.
and New Castls counties. But the
people will not follow Postmaster
Browne. The time has arrived tor

of bribe of half million. Mon
nett is his name, attorney general
