IN another column we publish a
letter that has been sent out by the
Children's Aid Society, of New
York, to those in Delaware who
have recently applied for children
to adopt. In this letter there is a
holding of the mirror up to nature,
and it forcefully calls attention to
the real motive that people should
have in adopting orphans and rais-
ing them to man or woman estate.
The society rightfully places great
value upon the opportunity to edu-
cate these children and the inten-
ton of those who adopt them to
give them opportunity to get at
least a common school education,
that they may be fitted to climb up
the ladder of life. The Society
does not expect that these children
shall be educated for doctors, or for
any especial profession, but that
they shall have the advantage of
the public schools equally with
other children in more fortunate
circumstances. This is right. There
are many who would adopt an or
phan with the unexpressed purpose
of making it a slave until its legal
freedom is reached; at least so far
as the laws of the land would per-
NIT them. We are sorry that the
placing of those children has been
checked and turned elsewhere, be-
cause of the apparent small value
of education held by the many who |
would take them; but we believe
that the day is not far distant when
there will be new era in public
education in all parts of Delaware,
and especially In the rural schools.

PIanninr ones Life WORK.

It is foolish to plan house which
will collapse the moment you stop
working on It When you lay plan
for the object of your toll, take in the
entire range Of life-tOday, tomorrow,
the rainy day, old age and the life be-
yond the grave, for there is such life.
What is the use Of toiling all day for
what will not keep overnight? What
is the use Of working a lifetime to get
nothing which you can use in an eter-
nifty of living yet to come? What shall
It profit man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul? Then
take a broad view of life, with its
needs and opportunities, and plan your
work right from the very start. Plan
such a life work as God, whose you
are, whether you acknowledge it or
not, can be pleased with and can use in
his own great plan for you and for the
rest OF mankind.-Rev. DR.. Robert r.
white, Presbyterian, New York.

PRIME HOOK NECK.

1t was last Saturday night. They
were all gathered at the little coun-
try store as usual to tell yarns,
smoke and chew tobacco. There
was Uncle Tom, Uncle Sam, Uncle
Dick and Uncle Harry, with several
others. Ali were seated around
the stove talking, when in came
"Uncle Bill" he was carrying a
bag which appeared to contain a
swapping turtle. He put the bag
on the floor and seated himself to
talk with the others. Presently
one grew curious and picking up
the bag said, whose snapper is
this +" WhereupOn Uncle Bill re-
piled, 'it is mine," and the subject
was dropped. The clerk finally
took the supposed turtle, weighed
1t and paid Uncle Bill for it; and,
not wishing any one to get bitten,
the clerk put the bag aside until
those present had gone home, when
he was going to put the turtle in
box. Uncle Bill seeing the joke,
went home without the bag. Folks
say when he got home his wife
thought he was drunk. He Just
fell right down and laughed until
be couldn't laugh no more, and af-
ter he got his mouth straight said,
"Ho no | ho don't you know
hey all thought that hogs jowl |

'nough to make him laugh, don't

upon the selection OF the driver, as to the
moral atmosphere OF the wagon We aim o
make that high, and have sofar Succeeded
well. The fights and disturbances kat so fre-
quently occur going and coming from school,
are largely done away with. as the driver is
given authority to quell any disturbance that
may be started.
Wehave people living four miles from town,
and only one mile from good country school.
who are clubbing together and sending their
children to town at their own expense In a
covered wagon, and they are glad to have the
privilege OF doing so, as the advantages Of a
graded school are so apparent TO them.
II Is not necessary for me to explain the ad-
vantages further; as all excepting the barna-
cles, of which heard so much when in Sus-
sex6 agree that there is no more comparison
between the old and the new schools, than
there is between the stage coach and the linn
tied express; however, both were good in
their day-and have had their day.
We have had our schools out here graded
only three years, and there were those who
opposed 1t, because the grading carried with
It the ''eentralizatlOn' idea. Ifthere are any
oppOn ents now, they are hard to find. They
are actually ashamed that they did oppose It,
and admit It when they consider results.
A boy sixteen years old, or more, is the
driver. A good gentle team, harness and
feed are contracted for with farmer who
has such boy. Since the character OF the
boy is so important, the School Board adver-
tises TO give the contract to the lowest respOn-
sible bidder all else being equal.
The district has bHilt for the purpose good
heavy spring wagons, with bed fourteen feet
long; With cushioned seats on each side like
an omnibus, at a cost Ofsl6O. The driver sits
outside in front, but he may enter from his
seat II necessary. we have an oil stove for
the wagon, but is seldom needed, as il is usu-
ally comfortable when filled with children.
They enjoy the ride,snd when any one speaks
about reverting to the old method. there is
trouble at oEee.
1t costs us sixty dollars per month to main /
tain school, and we have the children
brought into town for thirty dollars. Our
taxpayers like it; we need fewer teachers, and |
get better ones.
Our teachers do not favor consolidation,
because it curtails The number Of teachers re-
luired; but they recognize its worth and do
lOt oppose it. +. K. DAVIS,
