DRIVING OF FIRE APPARATUS.

While we do not say that the running
down of Mrs. Pcrnet by the Reliance
hose carrlage was duo TO carelessness
OF the fire company VIC think this the
proper time to say something about the
driving Of tho FIRE apparatus For
some time lt has heon admitted even by
french that tho horses arc driven
faster than Is necessary IN responding
10 alarms OF nre In justice to the
companies. however Il must be said
that the steam engines, trucks and
chemicals are driven by capable and
experienced drivers. In tho case of the
hose wagons il Is different. Drivers
are not employed to do this work. Con-
seouenuy this important branch Of the
service Is left to some member who
happens TO De to the engine house at
the time. often It falls to man who
IS not competent to drive spirited
animal through tho-city streets at
break-nock spced. The accident Of
Wednesday night should set the heads
OF the department to thinking about
this grave matter. Human lives are at
stake.

NEGRO EDUCATION.

For the elevation OF the negro there
must be some stimulus. as In the ele-
walton Of the white race. 1t is not
enough to place the opportunities Of
education before him; there must be
some avenue through which he can
make his knowledge specifically useful
10 himself and to others.
For IN tho last analysis education is
not an end. but a means We all have.
an object beyond tho acquisition Of
knowledge it is that having 1t we may
widen the sphere OF our influence and
place ourselves on a higher plane in

must be the inducement OF an oppor-

may not hold ONCE. II he is not to be
recognized individually or as race in
any event. what Is TO inspire him 70
lift himself TO a plane where he may
behold life in its broader aspects, but
take no part in st? What would be-
come Of the white man II placed in
this position?
Here in the North the white man has
the inducement to educate his child. in
the fact that at the end there may be
FOR that child a higher social plane. A
second inducement is that through edu-
cation he may acquire the ability te
earn a much larger remuneration thar

THE LESSON Ir cARRlEs.

The value Of persistent and never
ceasing effort is clearly Illustrated by
the announcement that to Bridgevlne
and Laurel win be awarded the fine
pianos offered to the schools OF Della
ware by The Evening Journal. other
schools entered the race, worked hard
for while but finally dropped back
and finally ceased work altogether.
It was patient and persistent effort
that makes It possible for these two
towns to secure the pianos. They not
only worked hard, but they never stop
ped working. They kept at It all the
time. The whole population Of the two
winners helpedi everybody gave a lift.
There was no holding back.
The world today is coming to con-
slider that "stickativeness" produces the
best results IN n lines Of endeavor.
More and more is this idea being in
troduced into the school system and
The Evening Journal is proud at being
able to be even a small factor In help

aware to realize that to achieve real
success persistence and energy are abb
solute essentials. Ambition may cas-
lly be misdirected but when Il is cou-
pied to system It will Inevitably win
lfe's richest rewards.
In the piano contest It was this way
Brldgevllle and Laurel did not seem tc
offer the opportunities possessed by
some other towns. yet they won. Their,
can only one reason be ascribed-th,
never-ceasing and well-directod energy
that was put into the fight. The boys
and girls Will never forget that they Sc
cured the prizes by their actual en-.
deavors-the pianos will always serv,
them as object lessons.
The Evening Journal wants to con.
gratulate the winners. They fought
hard and deserve their success.

until they reach the eighth grade.
II is criminal to insure the lives Of
children under ten. ANY child under
ten may be taken away from unfit par

to eighteen. Feeble minded children
are provided for by the state. and a
