Great Ice Storm.

In the night and all day on Monday
last storm of character that seld jm
visits this part of Delswsr prevailed /;
and on Tuesday morning the entire
face Of the country was covered with q
beautiful coating of ice. Every bush.
shrub, wire, tree and building looked
as if a fairy's wand had made its magi-
cal touch, and when the early rays Of
Tuesdays sun set the icicles aglitter,
the scene was beautiful beyond words
to express. The electric light and tel
ephone people saw only trouble and
danger, aud the beautiful was lost on
them. Many fine shade trees were
split open, and several narrow escapes
are reported. The small feed wires
fIOm the electric light system leading
to the property Of DIR. Stanton, gave
Colonel Townsend a bad FIVE seconds
scare late at night. The wire had fallen
across the pavement, and before its
presence was discovered, he had walked
into it; but an umbrella very fortu-
nately kept the sizzling wire from max
ing contact with him. The scene on
Tuesday was one that seldom presents
itself to this part of Delaware.
The chimney on the home Of B.
Hirsch was crushed by large limb
falling upon it, and several roofs were
injured by ice laden trees falling on
them.

A WORD TO PARENTS
From the Principal Of Schools.

If this were a sermon, the text would
he. "And they all with one consent be-
gan to make excuse" Frequently
all too frequently, we receive notes from
parents. asking that pupils be excused
for reasons that are trivial, and, from a
teachers standpoint at least. entirely
insufficient. This parental indulgence
reached a climax recently in the case
of a child who received from home a
number Of excuses, ready signed, to be
filed out and presented to the teacher
whenever tardiness or absence so re-
suired. Such demoralizing leniency
finds its parallel in the foolish father
who allows his son at college unlimited
spending money.
"I.kept -- home to help me"
is a message received but too often.
Very seldom can anything less than
family sickness or the most extreme
poverty render such an excuse valid.
If it is the first, it should be detinately
stated il the second, we will recognize
the necessity, and make due allowance
for it. Still more to be condemned are
those excuses which contain no state
nent or reasons whatever. l trust the
time will soon come when we shall not
feel compelled to recognize them. Even
truapcy, believe, has been concealed
nv this careless and wholesale granting
of excuses, thus making the parent or
guardian a partner in Juvenile vicious
ness and crime. 1t is quite evident that
visits. pleasure parties, cunning trips,
and the like, are allowed to take pre-
cedenee over school duties, a condition
of things admirably adapted to make
school seem bugbear and a trouble
some necessity.
In close connection with this is a
custom which, 1 am told, prevails dur
ing the season Immediately preceding
the holidays, that Of withdrawing
pupils from the school to employ them
in stores. Against this wish to file
p,apt e7rnest protest Were the results
Ia course more tangible and OBJ
we're they as evident to the paren
hey are to the teacher, pupils woul(
no more be prevented from regular at
tendance at school than they are from
regular appearance at the dinner table
Carelessness and negligence IN tn
noints mentioned above should nee'
nothing more than mention to eliml
nate them. Persistence in these fault
could but produce the inevitable I'M
pression that the education Of a humal
being is considered secondary to none
getting and social amusements, an
that our Public School is regarded a
unworthy of faithful patronage Will
[ have nothing but contempt for tn
chronic grumbler who seizes upo
trivial pretexts for criticism, have a
ever willing ear for all just complaints
and will do all in my power to remed
them. If you are dissatisfied with ii
school. tell us why. If it meets you
approval, give it your most enthusiasm
