ovERwoHK IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A writer in medicine periodical, con-
WINGED that overwork in the public school
room and excessive study at home are
undermiDg the health of thousands of
children, urges its professional readers to
call halt. He believes that physicians
should recognize this cause of illness in
children more frequently than they do
now and, with the assistance of parents
bring ABOUT reform in the number of
hours of school sessions and in the work
at home required of the boys and girls.
1t is undoubtedly true that in their eager
ness to "make records school authorit-
les are always in danger of overworking
rather than underwriting their pupils.
There is ever the temptation to permit
the brightest scholars in class to set the
rate of progress for all, and to spur the
duIards to a speed which they cannot
maintain by normal efforts, At tthe same
time it is difficult to accept the theory
that American educational authorities
are following the forcing methods preya-
lent in Germany, as has been asserted,
the system which renders the poor little
sufferers SO neurasthenic that d even
leads TO suicide.

OBITUARY
GEORGE LINDSEY COCHRAN

Seldom has it been our duty to record
SO sudden death as that Of George Lind
sey Cochran who departed this life at the
Howard Hospital in Philadelphia, at $50
o'clock on Tuesday night of this week, in
the 34th year Of his age. Deceased who was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Cochran
of this town, was taken i'll on Wednesday
of last week and DR.. D. w. Lewis was
called in and his condition was at once
discovered to be serious and specialist
came her on Thursday, when it was de-
cided best to have him in hospital in
case an operation was necessary. On
Friday morning be was taken to the hos
pital and on Sunday at noon an operation
was performed, but complication OF dis
eases gave little hope, and he died as
stated above. Mr. Cochran was one OF
our best-known and most popular busi-
ness men; full of life and energy, and his
death was a great shock to this entire
community.
In 1904 he was married to Miss Edith
Derrickson, one of our accomplished
young ladies, and their lives had been ex-
ceedingIy-happy until separated by his
untimely death. -
1t was the writer's good fortune to have
known Mr.. Cochran long and we'll, and
we only knew him to esteem him more
highly as the years passed by, and to-day
we miss his kindly smile and friendly
greeting; we long in vain to hear the ring
of his jovial laughter, and to feel again
his iovial presence. In the midst OF such
sorrow how cold and impotent are words,
and how doubly deep would be the grief
over the grave, did not the rainbow OF
Christian hope span the dark gulf be-
tween time and eternity, and such pure,
bright lives inspire the belief that there
is better world beyond.
To the broken-hearted wife, father,
mother, sisters and brother, who sit in
sorrow where his footsteps shall never
again find echo, We extend our SYM
pathy. May the peace that passeth all
understanding come to them from One
who cares for US all.
The body was brought to Middletown
on :he noon train Wednesday, and the
funeral took place from his late residence
Friday afternoon, at o'clock; interment
being made in Forest cemetery. The
pall-bearers were: Howard A. Pool, W.
B. Wilson, ]. P. Algier, John S. Crouch,
James T. Shalcross, Jr., and Lucien
Green.

LETTER TO J. F. DEAKYEE
Middletown, Del.

Dear Sir: A certain paint-mannfacture
advertised Waldorf-Astoria painted
throughout with my paint" A part oi
the basement was SO painted; not satisfac
tory; painted Devoe next time.
There's certain paint, big concern,
very proud and ambitious, that hated tc
see SO big job of another paint; so il
went for that business.
That former paint was about two-thirdG
not paint, but this proud and ambitious
paint was only about one-third not paint,
1t succeeded in getting trial: 25 gallons,
kits Of gallons each.
When the painter had used one kit, he
called the manager; net satisfactory; Of
the kits returned. A paint, one-third moi
paint, is not good-enough to displace De
voc.
This was several years ago. That proud
and ambitious is better now, it is nearer
honest; it isn't short-measure at all and
only Is per cent adulterated. It's a
pretty good paint now; Is or IA gallons ol
it goes as far as 10 of Devoe.
Judge l D Fairchild owns two houses
alike in Lufkin, Texas. M Torrence
painted both houses, one Devoe, and the
other with that proud and ambitious
Acknowledgment paint. 1t took
154 gallons Devoe and % gallons of the
pround ami ambitious paint.
It takes pretty-good paint to disturb
Deyoe.
Yours truly
