TN A RECENT number OF Good
4 Housekeeping college girls were
invited TO give their views Of the
Ideal Husband" and as might have
been anticipated they did it with gusto.
For the average woman is an expert
on that subject. and her eagerness to
discuss 1t develops at an early age.
These essays should be compiled. and

be on every young mans table. For

MoRE HousEcLEANINe.

II HE houseoleaning process goes on
4 IN Philadelphia. The Director
OF Public Safety has issued a state-
ment to the effect that policemen do
not have to join political clubs and pay
to hold their places In
deed. there is an intimation that such
clubs are regarded with disfavor.
This suggests the end of another
great abuse. Many OF the political
clubs Of Philadelphia have been mere
organizations OF grafters. The men
who have held positions were obliged
to pay heavy dues or assessments. os-
tensibly for campaign purposes, but
really a great part OF it went into the
pockets Of the local bosses
Not 10 join meant the loss Of their
Jobs, and to join meant a regular pay
ment Of a percentage of their incomes.
Besides, many of these clubs became
mere speakeasies and gambling re-
sorts that had the strongest protection
imaginabe-the bosses and the police.
Thus the guardians OF the peace
were inducted into the fraternity OF
criminality the moment they donned
their uniforms Philadelphia was rot
ten from top to bottom.
And yet nothing has been brought to
light that all the people didn't know.
An these things they have tolerated
with a cynical smile. But there is one
graitfying phase Of the affair now that
reform has begun IN earnest all Gym
ioism has disappeared, and a vast ma
jority OF the people are ready to push
IL along.

School Board Matters.
Editor OF The Evening Journal:

Editor OF The Evening Journal;
I noticed a letter in last Sundays
star about "The School Board" sign
ed by Interested" commencing as fol-
lows: 1T is a wen-lnown fact that
our public schools are today in better
condition than ever before" This
statement believe to be true and have
heard the same remarks from many
educated persons in Wilmington, and
would like to present my explanation
Of how these 'bctter" conditions were
brought about.
About four years ago the present
board OF twonty-four membors-with
the desire to get the scholars 20 study
more in each term ia order to be pro-
moted--raised the per cent for pro-
motion from 75 10 So per cent. The
result was that at the end Of the nrst
term in the High School under the IS
per cent, fifty per cent. of the boys
and forty-nve per cent OF the girls
failed I'm promotion.
The same board which raised the per
cent for promotion from as to 50. find
ing it failure, have since put it back
TO so per cent.
About four years ago the board al
most unanimously changed the Train
ing School term from one year to two
years. Under the one-year course the
Training School graduated plenty OF
teachers for our primary schools but
during the three years that the two
year course was in operation only
eight or ten teachers were graduated
from the training school each year
while we needed twcnty-onc on
twenty two new teachers, about half ol

w noticed that Every Evening. an

whole ticket, urging the people to elect
it from mayor TO council
When the Democrats promulgated
their remarkable platform baslng their
claim to the confidence and support OF
the people on the idea OF municipal
ownership we suspected that our con-
temporary was mred. but there was
no external evidence Of that fact.
Even an independent" paper knows
when 20 preserve silence, and there are
moments when the Every Evening can
say nothing in more language than any
other paper in the state.
But we had observed that our con-
temporary had asked a number OF
questions Of the Sussex Republican and
had Insisted on an answer, 50 we
thought we would give our contempo-
rary q chance to answer a few pertin-
ent questions Of ours. and thus relieve
its mind of a great burden. Conse-
duently. we asked the plain question
Of whether II believed in-ihe. principles
Of The Democratic platform: whether
It's soul crayed municipal ownership
and whether it considered that issue as
paramount or "paramounter" than free
