Educational Notes.

Eliza F. Teas of District No. III is
the only lady school clerk in Sussex
county During the past year, hel
school has graded the school grounds
painted the school building and put up
a nice flag. In addition to this, the
district had school for nine and one
fourth months, paying the teacher $35
per month. This is the longest school
term in the county. As many districts
find trouble in financing a seven
months term, it raises the question
why we do not have more lady clerks
The census Of the children who will
come under the provisions of the New
Compulsory School Law reveal some
interesting facts. In one district in
Sussex, there were TWO families each
of which had seven children between
the ages of seven and fourteen years.
In another district, sixteen out Of
twenty.four children were jus. two and
One.eighth miles from the schoOlhouse.
Those living over two miles from the
schoolhouse are excused from the opera
ton of the law.
Why does Delaware not have State
Normal School for training teachers?
1t is the only State OF the forty.five
that does not Each year we need at
least fifty new teachers in Sussex
county alone. This year sixteen grad
yates OF our high schOOlsl wished to
teach. We get ABOUT ten normal school
and college graduates each year.
Where are the other twenty five teach
ers to come from? There is no place to
get them except from the country
schools. Yet to put them back with
out any training in charge Of exactly
the same schools from which they have
come, is a species of educational in
breeding that spells degeneration.
Would we entrust an unframed youth
Of eighteen years with tools to build a
house? No, lumber is too valuable for
that. Yet the material the unframed
teachers deals with, is the minds and
souls of the little children. Public
sentiment is being aroused on this ques-
ton. The superintendent gets many !
letters offering almost any price for
trained, experienced teachers, yet can
not supply them. To relieve conditions
somewhat, for five or six years, there
has been maintained a Summer Train
ing School for teachers at Dover, but
ignorant, prejudiced persons, fearing
the superintendents might get some fl
nancial advantage from it, have criti-
cized it so severely, that the supeinten-
dents will probably not have any con-
nection with it in the future. Pennysl-
vanis pays a minimum salary Of $50 a
month to normal school graduates, so
we cannot hope for any relief from
there. The only solution of the problem
of obtaining qualified, competent teach
ers is to have a State Normal School.

Heavy Freight and Passenger Traffic

The steamer City Of Milford has been
carrying heavy freights all this month,
aud the passenger lists have been equal
to the travel just before the holidays.
Last Monday she was loaded with fruit
and vegetables, and carried about 100
passengers. On Thursday there was
not so many peaches on her, but the
butter beans, tomatoes and other vege.
tables made full deck load, while the
wheat numbered up the hold. There
was 125 passengers on her when she
left the wharf, and a hack load got
there too late. She left New Wharf at
"a. m, and went out past the jetty and
up the bay in a little over an hour after
ward. This makes a very pleasant day
time ride up the bay and river, and the
large lists Of passengers each trip testi-
fies to the popularity Of it.

COAST STEAMER ABOUT
City of Panama Encounters One of the
Worst Storms in History-Wind
Blows Seventy-flve Miles
an Hour

PORTLAND, Nov. 26.-The steamship
City of Panama, arriving last evening
from San Francisco, passed through one
of the worst storms in the experience of
the officers and crew of the ship w nile
off Hecla head the steamship was flooded
with high seas for twelve hours. Men
were thrown off their feet, hurled across
the deck and in many cases severely
injured.
William Murray, waiter, was picked
up by a comber and carried against the
rail with such force that every tooth
In his head was knocked out. In addi
ton to other injuries the furniture of
the steamship is ruined and the paint on
the walls has dropped off. The decks
were full of water and the state rooms
were raging torrents during the stay off
Hecla head.
1t is estimated that the wilma reached a
velocity of seventy-five miles an hour
Fortunately, the officers say, the vessel
carried no passengers.

GOOD TIME MADE
IN use. TRYOU7

Five miles in 2S minutes and So seconds
was the record made in the tryout cross
country run held at the University of
Southern California in the elimination
affair for the purpose of selecting a team
to compete with Whittier college Decem-
Der 6. The successful contestants who
finished among the first six, and who are
thereby entitled to places on the varsity
sextet in the intercollegiate race, are
Cornwell, Nordahl, Earl Croker e.
Richardson and Jeffers. The men finished
in the order designated.
The race was held over the identical
course chosen for the intercollegiate run
and was nearly five miles in length. A
mile and half were made at the univer-
sity track, two miles were recorded at the
Agricultural park circle and a scant mila
was covered in the circuitous route chosen
between the two tracks.
The men finished well, and Capt Nor
dahl had the race we'll in hand for the
first three miles. gradually weakening IN
the last mile and half. The varsity cap
tain has been suffering from a severe cold
for the past two Gays, which probably
accounted for his collapse at the close of
the grind. The time made compares
favorably with the time of the cross
country event held at Stanford last week,
and If the Quakers are in their accus-
toned stride an interesting and fast run
may be looked for.
Cornwell, the winner of the tryout, has
had very little experience at distance
running, and his showing yesterday
against seasoned runners is considered
propitious, and a good two-miler seems
assured for the track team.
Capt. Nordahl will have his sextet out
for daily runs every afternoon until the
day of the Quaker meet a week from Fri
day. The Methodists will have the ad-
vantage of being thoroughly acuuaintad
with the course to be covered on that
date, although there is about an even.

FIRST YEAR TEAM AT U. S. C.
SCORES IL POINTS
Upper Classmen Kept on Defensive
After First Five Minutes of
Play-Second Half
is Easy

In q fast exhibition of basketball the
freshman five of the University of South
ern California defeated their doughty ri
walls, the sophs, yesterday afternoon at
the university court. the score standing
II to in favor of the first year team.
Both fives have had a rather checkered
craeer so far this year, winning and los
ing games with outside teams, and the
relative strength of the rival aggregations
was shard to judge.
The first five minutes of play showed
the superior strength of the freshies. The
upper class men were forced to assume
the defensive from the start. and only by
most desperate guarding were enabled to
hole the fierce playing freshmen from
running up a one-sided score. The score
at the end of the first period was to in
favor of the freshies and in a measure
accounts for the close playing.
In the second half the first year artists
entered the play with renewed determine
ton, which quickly netted baskets. BY
excellent team work and clever goal
throwing the freshies added six more
baskets to their credit, and held the upper
class men to a couple of throws resulting
in points.
Hall, Coloneus and Haydock saved the
day to the freshies, while Osborne and
Schieber carried off the honors for the
sophs. The freshmen will now challenge
the remaining upper class teams, and will
in all probability play the sophs return
game later in the season. Lineup:
