There Will be an Appropriate Observance
in Most Of the Schools.
Tomorrow will be Arbor and Bird Day
and it will be appropriately observed in
most of the schools OF the State. in VIII
mington some of the schools have pre-
pared special programmes in accordance
with suggestions made as TO a proper
observance of the day, and where it is
possible, there will be some tree planting.
Some of the schools are unfortunate in
not being surrounded by grounds where
trees can be planted, but some of the
teachers have overcome the difficulty
by providing boxes and flower pots, in
which seeds and shrubbery will be planted
Following are programmes in two Of
the schools, which will give a general idea
of the plan to be followed:

Much interest is manifested in the prop
ositlon to make an effort to have the
proposed new battleship named Della
ware, in honor of this State. The matter
having been brought to the attention Of
Thomas H. Savery, president Of the Board
Of Trade, in the form OF a suggestion from
Samuel NJ. Knox, a former resident of
Delaware, writing from Washington. it
is practically in the hands of the Board Of
Trade.
According to custom the Secretary
Of the Navy determines and assigns the
names OF warships. and as this is usually
done a short time after decision is
reached to build boat. II is pointed out
that immediate action will be necessary.
While the Senate committee on naval
affairs has not yet decided on the matter
Of building the boat, there is every indi-
cation that it will The House COM
mittee has taken favorable action
The intention is to make this the
largest battleship in the world. and
though the honor would come late. it
would be quite a compliment TO Della
ware to have her name carried by the
queen Of the navy. The matter Of nam
ing the boat has already been discussed
in official circles at Washington and there
is a sentiment in that city in favor of the
name Constitution, but it is believed
that with some effort Delaware can ac
complsh the desired object and have the
name of the State substituted
All but three of the States in the Unioi
are honored by having battleships name,
for them, and it is not unlikely that thu
other two will engage in the same effor
which is about TO be put forth here Tn,
two battleships authorized a year ago
the contracts for building which hav
not yet been let, have been named Mich
gan and South Carolina. They wer
named very soon after the building O
them was authorized
Officers of the Navy Department a
Washington are elated over the prospec
OF having a battleship OF greater tonnag
than any now ahoat. If the House com
mittees report is adopted the new boa
will cost S10000OO0. The tonnage
left by the committee TO the discretion q
the Secretary Of the Navy. Mr.. Bona
parte favors the construction Of a battle
ship of 10 400 tons. and 1t is likely tina
this will be the tonnage of the new vesse
| The Bureau of Construction and Repai
will go TO work on the plans for the ne'
vessel Just as soon as favorable action
| taken on the recommendations of th
| House committee. 1t will probably tax
a year to draw the plans and three yeai
to build the boat.
