years. and where his mother and two sis
tiers now reside.
His public life began in 1891. when he
was appointed secretary of state by Gov.
Reynolds. He resigned this office in 1898
upon being appointed by the governor
an associate justice of the Delaware
courts, which included membership in the
supreme court. He remained the bench
until 1897, when a new constitution for the
state was adopted and he was retired. Since
that time he has been practicing law in
Wilmington with his brother, Josiah Mar
vel, under the firm name of Marvel & Mar
vel. Josiah Marvel married Mary j. Jack
son, daughter of eX-Representative William
H.. Jackson, the millionaire, of Salisbury,
Md.
Ex-Judge Marvel graduated from Prince
ton University in 1873, and subsequently
took two years course at Harvard Law
School. He began the practice of law at
Georgetown, Del, in 1879. Shortly after

schools and <drafted many amendments to
the school laws Of Delaware. While ed
ttor OF the Sussex Journal he began the adj
vocacy of establishing public schools for
negroes by assigning to them their share
of the school funds. He wrote probably

ject which created considerable commotion

ing of the committee of the board of di-
rectors of the Y. NJ. c. A, which has
charge of the department, which was held
during the past week. reports were pre-
sented showing that the summer had been
spent profitably by the leaders in summer
camp and at summer conferences which
combined little work with much play and
that the leaders were ready to enter upon
the winter activities with renewed zeal. At
the same meeting the tentative plans for
the winter were talked over, and they in
clude many things which will attract boys
and prove both entertaining and profitable
According to the reports submitted to the
committee. twenty-one boys were in camp

Supplementary Work.
An effort will be made by the persons in
charge of the educational department of
the boys work to discover the needs edu-
cationally in this city of those who are in
cluded in the system and to do a supple
mentary work. An important step to be
taken along this same line will be the Or
ganzation of supplementary educational
clubs, such as an orchestra, camera club,
handicraft club, a first aid to the injured
club, etc.
During the winter the social work in the
boys department will be turned over to a
proper committee of boys and co-opera-
tive committee of men, who shall have
general charge of the social life within and
without the building.
The gymnasium will be the scene of ac-
tivities throughout the winter, and outside
of the regular classes for employed boys
many other attractions will be inaugurated.
The members will be trained for strong
work in gymnastfc and athletic lines. The
idea of sport for sports sake and a love
of clean sport will be stimulated In all.
One of the plans which will be worked
out will be the securing of a permanent
camp for Washington .oys.
