sentiment of the majority of the voters
of the Seventh District when l state
that Alexander M. DAILY, who has been
and is now the working secretary of
our county committee, will have the
delegation from this district in his fa-
vor for the Congressional nomination.
We Democrats here do not believe in
comforting honor upon a man whom
we know has worked against us in the
past, because some particular ticket of
the party did not suit him and whose
most active lieutenant to-day is a man
who openly intimates he will not vote
for William Jennings Bryan. We
know Mr.. DAILY, know his sentiments,
and can assure you that the voters OF
this section are with him.

The following leaflets have been is
sued to aid teachers in the public
schools in presenting nature-study
subjects to the scholars at odd times.
TO THE TEACHER:
l. How squash plant gets out of
the seed?
2. How a candle burns?
3. -Four apple twigs.
4. A children's garden.
8. Some tent-makers.
3. What is Nature-Study?
Address, Chief Clerk of College of Ag-
riculture, Ithaca, N. Y.
The foregoing principles and advice
cannot we'll be improved upon. and
they are as applicable to the teachers
of Delaware as of New York. We have
heard many Delaware teachers bear
testimony to the usefulness and inter
est in nature work in their schools but
their verdict is almost universal that
aid in methods and in materials is the
hrst essential to widespread adoption
OF this type of teaching. With this
end in view, and as no other adequate
means is at hand, this column will be
used from time to time in giving sug-
gestions that may prove of some help
TO the teachers. 1t is recognized, how
ever, at the outset that the help will
fall far short of our ideals as each ar
ticle should be illustrated with several
clear-cut illustrations. These, unfor-
tunately, cannot be made available.
