The question of salaries paid
school teachers in the state is put
in different light by the Milford
Chronicle. In its last issue it makes
the following editorial comment:
"That teachers in the public schools
of Delaware are no better paid they
have no one to blame but them
selves. They don't ask for more
pay when making contracts to
teach, and the commissioners are
not expected to thrust more salary
upon them. The conditions as to
supply of teachers is a matter of
deep concern to those familiar with
the situation. Last summer the
superintendent of Kent county had
thirty-fve applicants for examina-
ton for certificate to teach, all of
whom had never taught before in
the public schools of Delaware, and
out of theS number twenty-five
passed. As the time for opening
the schools approached, demands
from districts all over the county
came to the superintendent, but he
was unable to send teachers to fill
these places, so to enable the
schools to open he gave re exami-
nations to those who had failed
and then qualified conditionally
twelve of the mber, and by this
method it was possible to open
some schools. This shows plainly
that the matter of salary is entirely
in the hands of the teachers them
selves, and when they demand tha
forty, or even fifty dollars per month
shall be paid to them for teaching
and refuse to teach for less, even il
the rural schools, there is no helr
for the commissioners, and the,
must pay the larger salary. 1t is
fact, that the teachers hold the Ike,
to the salary question, and w
doubt not that they will make us
of it before another school yea
opens.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AT OLD ASBURY
Something Concerning the S2l00 Improve
ments Which Have Been Going on.


George M. Stevenson, Walter o.
Hoffecker aud John W. Tucker the
all credit for the splendid manner in
which they impro we'd Asbury M. E.
Church. Most all of the work in its
detail was directed by George M. Stew
enson chairman of the Committee who
gave much of his time to personal
supervision. Rev. DIR. Watt took oc-
casion Sunday evening to refer to Mr..
Stevenson's untiring effor is which was
deeply appreciated by the congrega-
tion. The renovation which has been
going on the church for several months
includes everything that was needed.
The re-frescoing which was done by
Otto M. DuBrau of Baltimore was the
most extensive improvement. Under
his brush the church has come out like
unto flower which has burst into full
bloom. The work has been finely exc
outed and everything is in harmony.
The ecclesiastical coloring is finely
composed, melodious and mellow yet
enough shading introduced to give it
earnestness and character. In the
auditorium the ceiling is (according
to modern form of decoration) laid out
in one large panel of early gothic con-
ception, smaller accompanying panels
completing the fundamsnt con-
struction of decorations. Each Sec
ordsry panel has beautifully designed
and centre ornaments, which are
connected in such a manner by lines,
that the impression prevailes as if the
whole ceiling were picture with fore
and background and yet the connect
ing blendings mediate between all
parts. The principal or centre panel
has historically correct designed orna-
mentation ou. of we'll spaced root or
dado the body of the ornament grows.
and is gracefully carrying the Christ
ian cross and crown as headings. To
the mirror of the centre panel appears
an open cloud treatment. AS an archi-
tectonic cornice is placed Immediately
below the ceiling, it logically con.
cludes that the whole ceiling decora.
tion is carried by this projecting we'll
sculptured cornice. The walls are
adorned by borders and friezes
through every detail of which tht
style of corinthian and early gothi,
designing is repeated in contributor,
manner to the larger principles o
original construction, and with th
characteristic coloring going into tn
finest shading and the most delicat
nuances, the whole makes the impress
sion of classic symphonic value. On
must admit, that here has been luck
hand at work producing an artist
work of rare beauty.
? The Sunday School Room was ais
painted and frescoed the central fgur
Smyrna times., 1907-01-02

being wreath of roses which adorns
the ceiling, enclosed within panel.
All the class rooms have been painted.
This included class room Nos. and 2,
which heretofore had always been
papered. All of the epainting including
woodwork and furniture was done by
Harvey Jones of this town. The car
penter work which included the rails
ing and jacking up of the first floor,
the scaffolding and inside work was
done by Warner & Blair of Clayton.
The steeple was re slated by William
Ulich of Dover and the tin work was
done by Alfred Skinner of Clayton.
The carpets and lineoleum used in the
church were purchased of John Wana-
maker and J. Edward DeFord. There
is 100 yards of carpet used in the
church of which 400 yards were pur-
chased new this year. This included a
new carpets for the Sunday School
Room and vestibule up stairs, very
neat and beautiful designs. The pipe
organ was thoroughly over hauled and
tuned. The work done represents an
expenditure of $2100 which we under
stand has been fully subscribed for.
This was done before "Re-Opening
Day" and did not necessitate an extra
church collection so often necessary
in extensive improvements of this
kind. The church property was never
in finer condition than it is now and
friends and members of old Asbury
have every reason to be proud of the
work accomplished by Mr.. Stevenson
and his committee.

Beautiful Lake Como In the Springtime.
Here is a picture of our beautiful
Lake Como in the springtime, when
her ladyship is most charming in her
robes of dainty green, and when the
''Little Valley" nesting below the
bridges, makes picture that is a Joy
to the eye.
Beautiful is Lake Como in the springtimc of the
year,
When the ripples on its surface CLEAN like snow;
When returning birds assemble and the air is ali
a-tremble
With their singing and their winging to and fro;
When the trees that nestle round her put theil
verdant vesture on,
And smile to hear the news the breezes bring;
when the sun begins to glance on the tiny waves
that dance,
Ah. sweet is our dear Como in the Spring.
Charming is Lake Como in the springtime of th,
year,
When the morning mists are rising from the hill
When the Little Vale" is smiling with beaut,
all beguiling,
And It's tiny streams go grooming to the mill;
When the shadows and the showers only multi
ply the flowers
That the lavish hand of June will fling;
When in unfrequented ways fairy music softl
plays
All. sweet is our dear Como in the Spring.
Lovely is Lake Como in the springtime of the yea
When life. ike the year is young,
When the soul is just awaking like lily blossom
breaking,
And love words lirger on the tongue.
Echo voices from the mill creep into the memor
still,
And love dreams cluster and cling
Round the heart add round the brain. half ,
pleasure. half Of pain.
All, dearest is our Como in the SPRING
