There was no denying the efficiency

during which the Tigers were accump-

the Browns to two hits and did not
allow base on balls. Both the hits

CONDUCT OF RURAL SCHOOLS

r JUDGING by the comments in some of our
State exchanges there is considerable
dissatisfaction over the way in which the rural
schools are managed There is complaint, which
is probably we'll founded that the voters take
but little interest in the election of school COM
missioners and that, as a consequence, men not
fitted for those responsible positions are often
chosen to direct the schools.
1t is said ibat the persons who have no in
terest in the schools are usually present at cleo
tions prepared to vote against any and all i'm
provements either in the methods of teaching in
the schools or in the school buildings themselves
Improvements are thus thwarted because cit
liens who really should favor progress in educa-
tional methods hold aloof and fail to perform
their duties. When it is remembered that the
public school course is all the instruction that
the vast majority of young and young
women receive, the importance of wise admin
stration of the school becomes obvious
The County School Commissioners of Kent
and Sussex are forced continually TO prod many
commissioners in an effort to have them live up
to the law. 1t is believed by some of the County
Commissioners that better results should be OBJ
tanned for the amount of money devoted to the
schools Hence the investigation of the rural
system which will be conducted by commits
sion to be appointed by the Governor under an
act passed by the last Legislature will be awaited
with much interest. Certain it is that in view
of the misgivings of those who are in position
to know the school system in the rural districts
needs a thorough overhauling. The best men
should be elected commissioners as there is no
subject which should be of more concern to
the residents of those districts than the public
schools

TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.

A CCORDING to the Milford Chronicle some
L frst-class funerals are needed in that town
to remove citizens who are always blocking the
path that leads to public Improvement. We
suppose that even so live town as Milford has
its full quota of those who do not want TO see
improvements, especially if such improvements
entail expense. Every town in Delaware has
and Wilmington is no exception. They are, as
the Chronicle says the carpers and critics who
do nothing themselves and wish to prevent 9th
ers from doing anything.
1t is the same old story. In every community
the burden of carrying on the work of improve
ment falls to a few persons. Many simply rest
and enjoy the benefits of the Improvements which
often bring money to their own Golfers. Not
content with doing nothing themselves this
class frequently attempts to reap financial
rewards from the exertions of others. Take
community which is TO have new industry or
improvement md then notice how many per-
sons who own property will put an exorbitant
price on that property if it is needed by the new
industry. And often these persons have done
noting to bring the industry to the town.
On the other hand il Is just as important that
all improvements should be under the direction
OF men of sense and judgment who do not work
injury with the improvement There is such a
thing as overriding improvements. There can
be a wise conservatism in making municipal I'M
provements as there is a wise conservatism IN
every branch of business. The fellow who goes
at thing in a head-over-hees fashion IS just as
annoying as the pull-back or the man who stands
still.

Jonas X. Smith and William B. Jones
were schoolmates and bosom friends.
At the age of twenty they entered the

Smith went into the Diapers business,
and Jones went to South America to

more capital and enlarge his business.
Jones had money and became a part
ner. So great was their faith in each
other that no papers were drawn be
yond those making 1t legal partner

everything else. The partnership con-
tinued for five years, and the firm
made money. This made at least six
teen years that they had been daily
together as boys and men, and one
would have said that each thoroughly
understood the other. One day, in

rHAr SECOND WARD AFFAIR.

OUR Democratic friends are trying to inn
~ press the community with the idea that
the scales OF justice will be handled by blind
eyed City Council when the contests to upset
the returns of the election in the Fourth Dis
trct of the Second ward come before that body
The Council is to be immaculate and quite dif-
ferent in spirit from the Kent County Board
which threw out the returns in that county some
years ago and seized control of the Constitu-
tional Convention.
The large Republican vote in the district and
the small Democratic fote are held up to public
view, but as we have frequently said the same
vote has been returned in previous elections and
the Democrats have accepted the result un-
til they think they see an opportunity to OBJ
tain two-thirds control of City Council and to
oust Mr.. Ross from the office of City Treasurer.
But II they actually do so through the decision
of a biased and partisan jury the new City
Council necessarily must be, we imagine that
the Democrats will have a fight on their hands
which will be taken 10 the courts. We do not
believe that Mr.. Ross is the sort OF man
quietly to permit himself to be ousted from an
office to which he believes he has been elected.
So far as ripping up the city departments is
concerned a great many Democrats would frown
upon such scheme, and we do not believe that
Mayor-elect Spruance if his record so far as
nerve counts for anything would be a party 10
it, But there are undoubtedly a large number
of Democrats already dissatisfied with the con-
duct Of DR. Spruance who would bring great
pressure upon him 10 rip up the departments.
These Democrats think the appointments made
by the Mayor are too classy 10 use the ex-
preston Of the streets. What are the fellows
who are working around the polls and doing
the hard labor to get if one Of the boys is not
made Water Commissioner and another not
made City Auditor? We want the good old
Democratic days OF fifteen or twenty years ago
they say, and we are going to have them by
ripping" up the departments OF know the rea-
son why.
Therefore, according to our view, if the Dem
ocrats pursue the course mapped out they will
have trouble to meet in more ways than one

HARVESTINGKENT
BIG WHEAT CROP

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del. June s-Wheat harvest
is almost completed throughout this
section. and, while the prevailing opin-
ion is that there is not more than two
thirds of a crop. yet there is some very
good wheat and some exceptional
growths of straw A rust or scab
got on all the Delaware wheat during
the continued wet SPELL thus blighting
some Of the heads. where the dollar"
wheat was growing.
The farm owned by DR.. Moore of
FELTON, has produced some of the most
remarkable wheat In Delaware. James
Morris. the tenant Of the place, which
is situated about two miles west of
FELTON,, has finished reaping his crop,
which in some places was nearly ak
feet high. G. L. Jester. who drove
his binder has brought to Dover a
stand Of wheat Of both the Fulcaste
and Russian red varieties taken from
this field. The wheat stocks are lied
to a long stick and measure within
an inch or two of six feet in height
from the lowest root to the topmosi
beard.
In the neiGhborhood Of Middletowr
it is predicted that there will be a full
crop Of wheat this year. and that the
continued clear, dry weather has en-.
abled the farmers to get the harvest
ing done with most favorable condi.
tions.
The country roads are full of thresh
ing engine and harvesting outfits and
some Of the farmers want to catch AT
early market as soon as their whea
can be properly cured and stored
while others intend TO hold awhile
Some have already sold their whea
to spectators on an agreement a
over dollar a bushel.
