COLUMN OF INTEREST TO
SMYRNA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
BRIEF OUTLINE ON 1.-THE OBJECT OF THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS" BY THE PRINCIPAL.
Matters of Public Schools Interest in Other
Parts of the World Made Applicable 10
Smyrna Schools Must Display Flags.

SmyT0d-SC1OOiS MUST UlSpldy rags.
In this weeks issue I will not be
able to do more than give brief out
line of my subject. But in order that
patrons and pupils may more fully ap-
preciate the school l think a clear
understanding of its object is necess-
ary.
l think there can be but one answer
to the question. The object of the
Public School is to make good citizens.
If that object is not in the mind and
on the heart of directors, teachers,
patrons, and pupils its object will not be
attained to the fullest degree possible.
AS its name implies it is a Public In
stitution, and its purpose or object
must be to serve the Public. This can
be done only as it fits for Public life
which is summed up in the expression
good citizenship.
There are then four parties to be
considered in the discussion of this
question; the directors, teachers, pa
irons and pupils. The different parts
these take in fulfilling the object of
the school will be subjects of subse-
quent papers.
There must be recognition, by all
four parties of three fold nature of
l man. Man has body, mind and soul.
He has physical, mental and spiritual
activities that must be recognized and
trained. Man not being fully devel-
oped in any one of these three natures
or activities his power to become g
good citizen is thereby lessened.
A man must have a strong physique
to do the best mental or spiritual
work. 1t is the duty of every citizer
to be a producer of wealth and no+
merely a consumer. Many produce
through their skill and strength
some through their mental product:
and others through their spiritual help

the wealth is produced a sound bod,
is necessary in the greatest production
A sound body is one that is wei
trained and disciplined in the poweI
of thought. This gives skill to tn,
muscular work, accuracy to the in

A spiritually trained man will hav

WILMINGTON CONFERENCE ACADEMY.
Al Era OF Prosperity Seems to have Opened
for this Dover Institution.

The Wilmington Conference Acad-
emy, which is regarded by some as
the light and life of Dover, and for
which the citizens generally Loyalty
subscribed nearly SO, 900 this year, re-
ceived most generous and enthusiastic
treatment at the Cristield meeting.
When Professor Cross, its principal,
who has given up the best years of his
life to the rehabiltating of the academy
asked for a few hundred dollars, say
$4OO for scholarships they gave him
5000 from the small purses of Christian
ministers. Since then enough has
been promised to Professor Cross by
laymen to raise the fund of some
worthy young men. When President
Salisbury suggested the appropriation
or annuity of 81, 900 by the Conference
each session, this, too was promptly
granted. Now Professor Cross be-
lieves that before six months have
rolled by, over 200 students will be en-
rolled in the school.
The remaining $4,000 on the $37, SOC
debt, which almost crushed the insti.
tuition, has been provided for, and will
be raised within six months by the
churches which did not pay their ap
portionment of the debt last year. Nj
Cross has already been assured of So,
900 of the debt. which will be sent t.
Dover before July 1.

STILL AuITATING SUSSEX TROLLEY.
Board of trade of Lewes Takes the Matter in
Hand and Will Hold Meeting.

A special meeting of the Board of
Trade of Lewes, was called for recently
to meet State Senator Wright, of Sea-
ford, and trolley road promoter, with
the object of discussing a trolley line
from Cambridge, Md, to Rehoboth via
Seaford, Georgetown, Milton and
Lewes. It was not possible for the
senator to come, however, and the
meeting had to be adjourned until
next week. The trolley is bound
to come to Sussex County,
and the above mentioned route has
been talked of for some time. There
are many people in Lewes who are
ready to put some capital in such an
enterprise and believe it will pay.
State Senator F. G. Maull is inter
ested in the project, and several promi
nent citizens of Milton are scheduled
to come over to the meeting. Presi
dent G. II. Maull will call a meeting
of the board again next week, at which
time the project will be formally sci
in motion.

TEDDY TALKS.
Tells Congress How to Kill Time
Till Spring.
Trust Talk Not of Kind to Cause
a Panic Or To BE Taken
Seriously.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 3.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt, in his message to
the second session of the Fifty-sev-
enth Congress, treats large num-
Der of subjects. The most import
ant topics, the tariff and the trusts,
are not reviewed with the emphasis
which characterized his first mes
sage. He invites Congress to enact
further statutes for the regulation
of trusts and also to appropriate a
fundfor the enforcement of existing
statutes dealing with the combina-
tons. His own remedy of constItu-
tional amendment he retires to the
position of last resort. After enun-
ciating his faith in protective tar
iff, he suggests two methods of par
tial revision where any particular
case seems to demand it-recipro-
city treaties and revision by Con-
gress acting on the finding Of it's
own committees or a special COM
mittee Of economic experts. A eau
tious readjustment of financial leg
islation, with a view to producing a
more elastic currency system, is
advised, but no particular plan is
suggested The administration Of
our colonial possessions is commend
ed; likewise the work of the Ameri-
can army in the Philippines. A re-
organization of the army and militia
establishments is recommended. a
further increase in the naval estab-
lishment, especially in the matter
of officers, is asked.
Republicans and Democrats in
Washington express satisfaction
with the message. The former say
it stands by the principles of the
party, while the latter assert that
the President has weakened on his
tariff revision and trusts views.

i. B. King, Democrat, was elect

day proceeded without delay to re-
move the officials named above and
fill their places with Republicans.

Orders were also made removing

as workhouse commissioner and
Esqs. S. G. Buckner and ]. f.
Dixon as poorhouse commissioners.
Sheriff L. r.. Davis was appointed
to act as treasurer, with County
Attorney Anderson as a committee
70 assist ia making settlements.
Under another order the sheriff
was empowered to collect the fran
chise taxes, which has already
caused some litigation. Esq. Buck
ner only few days ago brought d
damage suit against Sheriff Davis
for $4,000 for interfering with his
collection of franchise taxes. This
action of the court was to back up
Davis.
Some of the Democrats removed
will probably take the matter into
the courts, but the Republicans are
very jubilant over their victory.
