How TO Make Towns.

To be live, up tO-date pro-
gressive business town and take
advantage of every new and
good thing that comes along the
merchant and business men gen
orally must cultivate and always
have friendly feeling for one
different opinions politically or
religiOusly from you is no rea-
son you should hold yourself
alOOf from him. Remember al
ways that his friendship is worth
more to you than is opinions. In
friendship there is harmony,
and in harmony there is
strength. One man alone can
not build up town, nor can half
of its citizens do so when the
other half oppose them. 1t may
be a bitter pill to pull in the
same harness with your neighbOr
up the street, but nine to one if
you pull with him awhile you will
than you thought for, and if you
both are pulling to accomplish
the same good end in this way
you will quicker become ac-
quainted with his good qualities,
like him better, and soon over
look his faults. If you spend
day after day in looking after
your business, and never take
any interest in public meetings
and public enterprises, you will
shut yourself up from the out
side world, become a stranger to
those around you: lose sight of
and take no interest in what is
becoming of your town and soon
you will notice that it is on the
decline and you will cuss your
height bOrS for it and they will
abuse you, and as long as the
matter thus drifts along you will
find that they are bettered in no
way.

IF the State has the right to
tax the people to educate the
children of the State,' says
Pres. G.. E. Vawter of the Miller
school, then it surely should use
the money in that way which will
give the State the results. 1t
should educate our children to-
ward what they have to do in
life, not away from it. There is
no denying the fact that our
present scholastic education
tends to draw our children away
from industrial pursuits. Surely
the object OF public education
should be to enable our children
to become good, useful, honest,
loyal citizens, and to equip them
for the life work that lies before
them'

Delaware College.

One of the objections that has
been urged to the project Of remov-
ing Delaware College from Newark
to Wilmington was that it would
tnjure the morals of the stuGents.
Professor Eugene w. Manning, who
has devoted much time and atten-
ton to the project, recently wrote
to President Charles w. Eliot, seek
ing an expression of his opinion as
to the moral effect on the students
OF removing the college to Winning
ton. He has received a reply from
Jerome D. Greene, secretary to
President Eliot, saying:
president Eliot directs me to
say that in his opinion there woulIl
be no menace to the morals Of stu
dents in the State College in its IL
mo7al to Wilmington. Indeed it is
improbable that mere srcIuSiOn Of
fers as good moral safeguard as is
found in the steady unfolding OF
high ideals Of character il II normal
community such as most Of the
students would enter 1T The END #

The view that it would harm the
morals Of the stulent5 To briag
them to Wilmington. is not con-
plimentary to Wilmington, and suy-
gests that this must he even Il dan
gerous place to those to the mauner
born. The very suggestion Of tine
latter point indicates how fOotess
is the particular reason under con-
slderatloE. What oar Young men
need, as President Eliot hints, is
not SO much to be preserved from
temptation, rs to be encouraged t.
seek high ideals. President Eliot
has been president cl Harvard since
1859 and has therefore hcId thtt
high place in education in America
for thirty~hve years. Ills words
come with high Authority. Is II

plished we shall have better and
safer market than the present. Bank
clearings are showing smaller gains
than last year. Railroad earnings
OF course make good comparisons
with 1901, for traffic is heavyand
equipment is overtaxed, but net
earnings are often showing signifi-
cant losses, not including the coal
roads, which suffered severely from
the strike. As previously stated,
the high cost of labor and raw ma
terials is materially swelling the ex-
pense ratio of the railroads; and,
when business falls back to normal
proportions, less will be spent for
improvements and wages will have
to come down and dividends be re-

Del, in 1858, and that city is still
his home and working-place. His
house and studios there are several,

illustrators and has always a help
ing word and hand for the young
artists.
