In all the virtuous protests
against the social evil now being
made by the ministers and law and
order society in Philadelphia, we
have watched closely for some sug-
gestion as to how the evil may be
eradicated; or, at least, controlled.
The evil exists in every city; so
does robbery, murder and other
crimes occur, and the enforcement
of the law does not check or effect
ually stop these crimes; but enforc-
ing the laws provided for the ex-
termination of the social evil, has
heretofore only scattered it into
other parts of a city or town, and
has not stopped the trouble. This
has been the case in the large and
small cities and towns. The Off
cials will gladly welcome sugges-
tions as to how to completely erad-
icate the evil, or even control it
without scattering it into districts
of frespectability. 1t is largely true
that the women in that class of life
in the large cities, are largely re-
cruited from the smaller towns, and
this fact is made clear by investi-
cation of facts in towns of this
Peninsula as well as in others. IfI
half the effort were made to pro-
vide controlling regulations that
ire made to condemn the officials

How Rural Consolidation Works for a
DelaWarean.

Mr.. EDITOR:-
Complying with your request for facts and
suggestions relative to the "ConsOli dation OF
Public Schools" as we have experienced re-
sults,I am inclined to think that the best way
Ofimpressing the public with the value OF the
scheme, is to state definitely what has been
accomplished by It In other localities; and In
localities that are no better adapted to its
adoption than yours.
suppose that you combine the three schools
in Sussex county with which am familiar,
(having resided near there when living in
Delaware) known as the Calhoun. the slaugh.
ter Neck and the Prime Hook Neck schools
into one centrally located school, You Will
be able to by so doing gather into one school
at least two hundred pupils-if not at drst,
certainly in very short time. With this
number thoroughly graded school with four
large rooms and four teachers VIII be formed.
J he transportation will lTsquire three wagons
with = capacity Of about twenty-five pupils
each; one to START at say about the Joseph
Calhoun place; one at about the John Camp
bell place,and the other at the Thomas Roach
place, south OF Poplar Woods" These veg
Ons 70 follow the route OF greatest convent
enee TO the greatest number; always giving
preference to the smaller children and having
theronte made subject to changes at the dis
erection Of the School Board.
These three wagons will be able TO carry all
who will be at too great distance from school
to walk. 1t should not be expected that the
wagon should go to the home OF each pupil;
but that some be expected to walk as much
as mile to join the wagon, or even greater
distance to reach the school house. The pur-
pose Of the scheme Is not to transport all Of
the pupils to school, but only those who are
at two great distance to go afoot.
The reason have outlined this plan is be.
cause we here In Wheatland, wyoming, are
doing practically the same thing; only we
are carrying them as much as six miles; at
least twice as far as you would be required to
do. AS TO the advantages to be gained, they
are many. We hnd that the average attend.
ance OF pupils is IS per cent, as against rs per
cent and less when they are not transported. /
A good reason must be given why child does |
not go when called for. The children are as
much under the control Of the driver while |
In the wagon, as they are under the teacher
when IN school. Beth are employed and gov
,rned By the School Board Much depends

WE respectfully suggest to the
many wealthy ladies of the town of
Milford, that there is a great pub
lie benefaction in their power, which
would perpetuate their memory
forever, and bless the public with
opportunities for mental improve
ment; and, at the same time beau
tify the town that should be their
pride, by building and endowing a
public library. Should this idea
not strike them favorably, we sug-
gest that a handsome fountain, at
which man and beast would be
benefited and the town beauti6ed,
could be located in the plaza oppo-
site the Pres byterian church;
point of the greatest public view
and utility. A large bronze statue
of the late DR.. Clark, paymaster in
the U. S. Mayor of Ex-Governor
Burton; the late General Torbert;
or ex-G Governor Causey and a dozen
others that can be named, would be
fitting subjects. There are many
women without children to leave
their wealth to, who could found
library and endow it, or erect
statue and fountain to their own or
their relatives memory, that will
make the town of Milford more

Since January 9th snow, blow and freeze
have succeeded each other without break.
Snow-drifts have blocked the roads and our mails
have been carried to Frankford on horseback.
Some call this an "old fashioned winter" Is this
really So or is it only certain periods of our life
that witness these changes? Certainly this has
been the most severe winter in the memory of the
oldest inhabitant, or our own memory since child
hood but in those days we sometimes received no
mails for two weeks. and when one is missed for
a day now, it seems as if the world had stopped.

FROM Bridgeville and other peach
growing centres of the Delaware
peninsula, reports are coming that
the peach crop for this year has
been blasted. This may, or may
not, prove to be a fact as we re-
member that in the winter of I9o2-3
the same reports were current just
after an extreme low temperature,
and, although the buds ap }eared
brown at the time of investigation,
yet in 1898 there was the greatest
crop of peaches that the Delaware
and Maryland peninsula ever pro-
duced. OF course it is not encour-
aging when experienced men like
Oliver Newton, of Bridgeville, de-
clare that the crop is blasted, but
we have had some experience in
peach culture, and have found that
the very best theories and opinions
go astray. Unless some more ser
ious weather than we have already
experienced this winter is in store,
we believe that there will be some
money coming this way from the
peach crop in August. Let us
hope so, anyway.

education, but he has found constant
opportunity for improving it and even
now, with, his innumerable enterprises,
he manages to put aside some time each
day for study. In what he undertakes
he is always thoro, as is shown by his
adeptness in shorthand and typewriting,
which he undertook as necessity for
business affairs in desert towns. His
charity is widespread, but seldom heard
