The growing interest of the local
teachers institute, composed of the
teachers of Duck Greek, Blackbird and
Kenton Hundreds, shows that those
who have the instruction of our youths
al heart ar endeavoring by all means
possible to keep abreast of the latest
methods. No subject has engaged
their attention more than Kindergar-
ten work. Some close students of pub
lie school systems regard the kinder
garten as the most important branch
OF study, because it is there that the
child obtains his first conception of
form, color and proportion. In certain
cities there are gardens connected with
the schools, where the development of
plant life through the various stages
can be observed and studied. These
are the real Kindergartens.
At other schools such gardens are
divided into small plats, so that each
pupil can have one, and again some of
the schools cultivate fields or co oper-
alive gardens, where vegetables are
raised and where the work is done col
lectively. By this means an accurate
practical knowledge is obtained by the
pupil. The child is much nearer to ma
ture than the adult, hence it is consid
cred desirable to begin nature studies
at all early age and while the children
retain their vivid imaginations. In
the Philadelphia High School scholars
gather a wonderful amount of instruc-
ton from bee hive inhabited by bees.
Botany, instead of being taught from
dried leaves and flowers pasted on
paper; and >zoology-the study of life
by gazing upon few stuffed birds
and animals, can be taught in the
fields and in the natural manner. The
child is thus developed by natural pro-
cesses- But why should not the kim
dergarten course be followed at once
by manual training in the lowest
grades, so that the child may immed-
lately begin to apply the knowledge
he has been getting? Without manual
training can the schools do justice to
the Boys? Should they not be taught
to see and do things, and to have their
hands and eyes work together in har-
mony2 And why should not manual
training be carried through every
gradei
Girls should be taught domestic sci
ence, because all women should know
how to cook, and the necessity for this
tuition is all the greater because such
a large number of girls are not taught
this useful accomplishment at home.
In connection with this sewing has
been taken up in some schools to the
great advantage of the scholars. I'm
doubte1ly, in some localities, some
''fads and frills" might be we'll dis
pensed with, but the features we have
enumerated seem as if they should be
classed as almost indispensable to tn,
modern scholar, in addition to the &C
quiring of frir education in we'll rec
ognized lines.

Tomatoes, under favorable condi-
tion, make one of the most profitable
side crops grown on the Peninsula.
The Gamers from over stocking and
the gloomy outlook were forced to
drive close bargains with the growers
last season, but the outlook is now
greatly improved, and better prices to
planters must be offered, if the can
ners are to be supplied. The market
is we'll cleaned of old stocks, and flu
lures are in increasing demand. At
current wages and cost of living, far
mers must have a substantial increase.
The general disposition on the Eas-
tern Shore is to stand out for at least
50 per ton, though here and there
growers insist upon 80. Many claim
that they would fare better in the open
market than they would by the can
ners' offer.
1t would seem advisable for growers
of different sections to exchange views
and agree on a common basis, if pos
sible, and the Gamers, too, would lose
nothing by cooperation and confer
euce with planters looking toward an
equitable compromise. Gamers and
growers are inter dependent, though
the former have now the best of the
situation by reason of limited stocks
and growing demands. 1t ought moi
to be difficult to effect fair arrange.
ment of differences, and the sooner il
is reached the better for all concerned.

With the death of William I. Fowler
there passed away one of Delaware's
m ost eccentric residents For number
OF years he lived secluded life and
was regarded as miser, but he finally
abandoned this mode of living and
went to live with Edward r. Morris, to
whom he offered all his property on
the condition that Morris should care
for him the rest of his life. This
Morris decided to do, and there was
recorded in the proper county office at
Dover such an agreement between
Fowler and Morris. Fowler's wealth
consisted mainly of bonds and
mortgages, which are very valuable.
For many years, winter and SUNNI r,
he would wear nothing butan ordinary
