EDUCATIONAL METHODS
A SOCIETY COMPOSED OF PAR
ENTS, TEACHERS AND OTHERS
no pr, oprlAN-1z1rn

A SDLlElH CONFUSED OF PAR
ENTs, TEACHERS AND OTHERS
no BE ORGANIZED.
Il has recently been proposed to or
ganize an Education Society" in Will
mington. and many philosophical
citizens. including members Of the
Board OF Public Education and teach
ers In public and private schools, have
shown interest In the matter. Ass0cia-
tons similar to the one proposed are
comparatively new, but within the last
two or three. years many have been esr
tabilshed In the principal cities of the
country, and are now successfully
conducted. Philadelphia has had such
an organization for some time, while
still older are the societies in Brook
line, Mass; Denver, Col, and some
other cities.
These associations have for a field
Of work nothing less than the whole
subject of educational methods and
their application in school and at
home. In these methods there is much
that is new and not we'll understood.
While the principles Of education re-
main the same, the need Of education
becomes more imperative and its pro-
cesses become more complex from
year to year. Many even of our more
intelligent citizens are really ignorant
Of what is being done or attempted in
our schools. Sometimes in a sort OF
blind faith in the wisdom of what is
done at school, sometimes with an un-
reasonable lack of confidence, they
send their children to be educated.
Neither attitude is comfortable to the
parent or helpful to the child. Prob
ably the best work of such societies
has been accomplished in bringing ths
home and school into sympathetic re-
lationship with each other.
The plan under consideration is to
form what may perhaps be fitly named
the Wilmington Education Society. %
Meetings will be held in school houses
or in public halls. and will be open to
everybody. Well-known speakers will
sometimes address the meetings, but
an interesting feature will be the free
opportunity for discussion by parents
teachers and indeed anybody who has
suggestion to make or a question to
ask. The subjects to be discussed may
vary from Correct Habits of Home
Study" to Contagious Diseases" and
Methods Of Dusting Schoolrooms." In
other cities It has been found that dis
cussions are conducted in a tolerant
spirit, though school officers and
teachers welcome any criticism that Is
likely to lead to improvement
AS taxpayers. parents, school-w0rk-
ers. pupils, practically all the people
Of Wilmington are interested in edu-
cation, no other society can appea
to as many or as varied interests. w,
have more public spirit than is now
brought out. 1t will be the object o
the education society to gather to-
gether the forces Of that public spirit
and render it effective.

NEW TABLE LINEN.
what the sales of the Early New Yenr
VIII Display 20 the
Buyer.

Plain white linen, embroidered only
in white, is the character of all the best
new tea cloths and center pieces,
though white lace has not lost one whit
Of its popularity. From the inexpen-
sive renaissance to the most exquisite
duchess and rose point dinner tables
are resplendent, and some of the point
lace center pieces are splendid enough
to serve as the bridal handkerchief for
royal princesses. They are rather
small, and the lace is set fat on a round
or scalloped center Of finest French
batiste that is embroidered in a wreath
of white flowers.
In consequence Of this lavish use of
lace, nearly all the most informal
dinners of the past spring and
autumn have been served on bare
boards. The lace center piece. ac-
companied by plate, decanter and can
delabra doilies, is laid on the brilliantly
polished naked mahogany or dull black
oak in order to achieve the best effect,
and show just how beautiful your lace
set is. The same scheme is followed
where the board is ornamented with a
set of Mexican drawn work, and,
though the rule is all for white, some
women gild refined gold by embroidery,
in colored floss, sprays and bouquets,
both on renaissance lace and on drawn
work. The consequence is brilliant,
certainly, but scarcely so refined in ap-
pearance as the pure white.
Luncheons, suppers and midday
breakfasts are now so universally served
on the boards, with doilies only, that
the handsomest damask tablecloths are
looking for jobs on bargain counters,
and the smartest little breakfast cloth
one can use, informally and en- famille,
is large square of hemstitched linen
that is damasked all over, but not in
figures, and then richly wrought in
white Swiss embroidery.
Great attention is given to the designs
done IN this new needlework. 1t would
require too much space to describe the
Jacobean, Egyptian and Henri Deaux
patterns that are stamped on these
squares for working, and that emanate
from able artists in London and Paris.
Quite rs highly esteemed as the beauti-
full Mexican drawn work is that which
comes from Russia. tits different from
the Mexican, being done in heavy home
woven linen in the natural or half
bleached tints Of the fax.
From Russia is brought over also the
almost forgotten art of doing cut work
The patterns on the handsome linen
squares are first embroidered and then
cut out until the finished piece resem-
bles sort of superb lace. With all
these articles the owners initials are
worked in one corner Of the narrow
hem.-Chicago Chronicle.

TIMELY REMEDIES.
They VIII he Found Useful TO Those
Who Are Afflicted with
COrns.

To cure an ordinary case of chilblain.
take piece Of lemon, sprinkle fine salt
over it, and rub the feet well. A sure
cure for broken chilblains is the follow
ing: Take a quarter of pint Of oil Of
sweet almonds, one ounce of Venice tur-
pentine, three ounces of beeswax cut
into shreds; melt all together in a white
ware pot, and then put aside to cool,
stirring occasionally to prevent the
preparation from becoming too hard.
Spread this ointment on lint, and keep
the chilblains covered with it at night,
and as much Of the day as is prac-
ticable.
If you are troubled with soft corns, do
not fail to try the following treatment,
Soak the feet well at night in hot water,
in which has been dissolved few crys-
tails Of permanganate of potash. Then
dry carefully, especially between the
toes, and dust the skin in these parts
freely with a mixture of tannic acid
and boraeic acid. Next morning wash
carefully with pure soft soap and cold
water, thoroughly dry, and powder
with boracic acid.
a piece of lemon or split raisin bound
on hard corn will very often cure it.
The first application may produce sore
ness, but if treatment is persisted in a
reasonable length of time, a cure will
likely. be effected. If not, try the fol-
lowing preparation; Thirty grains of
salicylic acid and five grains of Indian
hemp, to be dissolved in half an ounce
Of collodion.
For tired and tender feet, nothing is
better than to battle the feet and legs
from five to eight minutes in hot water
in which has been dissolved handful
OF good sea salt. Rub briskly with a
coarse towel and apply slices of lemon
to the soles of the feet.
For cracked and ehapped hands and
lips: Three drachms of camphor, three
of white wax and three of spermacetti.
two ounces of sweet olive oil. Put the
ingredients into a jar. Set in a sauce
pan of boiling water and let it melt,
stirring all the time. Pour, while hot,
into little jars.-Philadelphia Press.

Care Of the skirt.

Muddy weather is always a sore trial
TO a woman wearing a nice skirt. but
she can do something to preserve it
from permanent ruin. In the first place
when returned from a muddy street
she should hang the skirt before a fire
but not too close, so that the mud may
dry quickly. When dry the mud spots
should be loosened by rubbing with the
edge of a penny, and the dust should
then be gently brushed off with brush
of moderate frmness. Too rough a
brush must not be used. especially up
on smooth-faced cloths. for it is liable
to roughen the surface. II after this
brushing the mud marks are still Wis
ible, sponge the spots with alcohol or
methylated spirits, and the material
will be left clean and unmarked. In
taking off a damp skirt be careful 10
hang it out as fiat as possible over a
chair as if thrown down carelessly in

ADDIcI1s AND MAJORITY RULE.

ADDICIIs AND MAJORITY RULE
It was Addicks who dethroned King
Caucus in Delaware. Four years ago
he had six men whom he banded to-
gether to defeat the reelection CT
Hon. Anthony Higgins to the United
States Senate. At that time those
six men were urged to recognize the
principles OF caucus and majority
rule. They, acting under the personal
instruction Of ]. Edward Addiclzs, not
only refused to go into caucus, but
by the most fragrant violation of the
principle Of majority rule ever known
in this or any other state, forced a
vacancy in the Senate, although two OF
them did finally give In and vote for
DUPONT. j. Edward Addicks must
have taken for his motto in this cam
paign, "Tmes change, and we change
with them" for now he poses before
the people as the champion and advo-
cate Of the binding effect Of eau
Gus and the virtues Of majority
rule. But his change OF front will
not avail him. His repentance comes
four years too late. He will never be
a United States senator from De,a-
ware. The vast sums OF money which
he has spent have been squan-
dered. He may squander as much
more without reaching the goal of his
ambition. It is not in the nature Oi
things that Gray should be succeeded
by Addicks or any man OF his mentai
or moral makeup.
