THE Every Evening has struck
the centre Of the whole matter as
to the numerous disorders which
are reported from the towns Of this
Peninsula from time, when it says:
No doubt a careful investigation
would reveal the fact that disorder
in dOwnState towns is largely due
to failure to properly enforce the
law. With the laws against disor-
der promptly and vigorously en-
forced, in either licensed or prohi-
bition communities, there would be
far less occasion to complain of
disorder on Saturday nights or any
other nights. "
1t is a well known fact in Mil
ford, and we are sure that it applies
equally apt to all other towns, that
there is a general reluctance on the
citizens part, to make complaint,
backed by proper affidavits, for the
punishment of the offenders. If
the peace and comfort of any COM
munity is disturbed by disorderly
conduct, drunken acts, or brawling
of whatsoever character, it is the
duty ofevery citizen to see that
warrant is sworn out for the arrest
Of the offenders, and placed in the
hands Of the officers for service. It'll
is an impossibility for any city,
town, or county to have police,
constables or other peace officers on |
every spot in the county or town,
to preserve the peace; hence it is a
duty of every man, woman or re-
sponsible person to enforce the
laws. The private citizen has a
duty to perform, and simply be-
cause there is a policeman, or
member Of city council, or a con-
stable residing in the district, they
are not freed from any responsible
ity. If the private home is annoy
ed make proper complaint and aft
davits that the trouble can be rem
edied If the place of business is
subject to annoyance by loafers,
make complaint and ask for arrest
Of those offending; when the police
are not present to do this, then
make the proper warrant, and the
trouble is solved promptly. Don't
kick because the peace is not pre-
served, but rather do your part to-
wards aiding to aid the police de-
oartment. We believe that all per.
sons who appear on the streets in a
drunken condition, no matter
they are brawling or not,
should be promptly arrested
md fined for the offence. No man
" woman has the right to offend
he moral sensibilities of the public
~ presenting themselves on the
,ublic highways in a nude, drunk
n, or other manner offensive to the
morals Of any community. When /

THAT there is a very deep feeling
prevalent among the people OF
Delaware, that we are not getting
the best results from our public
schools is evident, and in our opin-
ion it has just foundation for exis-
tance. In the past there has been
tendancy to arrange the corricu-
lum of the public schools with the
view, that graduates from the high
schools may enter a college. To a
great extent this object has over-
shadowed the main purpose for
which public schools should be
maintained. 1t is a fact, that not
one-half of one per cent of the
children who start in the public
schools ever graduate from the
twelve year course laid out for
them. Then what is the reason for
this In our opinion the object
aimed at is at the root Of the ques-
tions. In the past, the State
Board of Education has been drawn
into mistakes by its advisors, and
by those who were more or less led
into a mistaken line for public edu-
cation by their own interests. Our
friend Robert G Houston, in his
paper last week editorially consid-
ered this matter, and he has said so
much that is german to the situa-
tion by stating facts, that we re-
produce the editorial that his
thoughts may have a wider field.
He says
The time is drawing near when !
the public schools Of our towns will !
close for the year. Most of our
country schools have already clos
ed. Announcements are being
made of the commencement exer-
cises of many of our public schools. |
It will soon be school election day, |
and the attention of our citizens |
should be directed to public school
affairs.
Few of us seem to realize the i'm
portance of our public schools.
The voters elect the school Com !
missioners and the latter elect the /
teacher, and the teacher runs the
school as best he or she can under
the direction Of the Superintendent,
without much help or encourage
meut from the parents or other per
sons in the Districts. If the par
ents believe the teacher is a good
one they seem satisfied to let the
teacher make out as best he or she
can. The children are sent to
school promptly, assistance render
ed, if possible, to the child in the
of studies and there the
of the parent seems to close.
In fact, as has been said, less at
tentiou is paid to the child in school
than is ordinarily paid to the an
Imals on the farm If we have a
prize porker, a fine colt, or a fine
cow, or an unusually fourishing
crop, we are likely to visit them t
very often and devote great deal 1
IF time and attention thereto, but
ew parents visit the schools in
heir District and we have known
where the parent did not !
now their own child's teacher. 1t
