MORE THOROUGH WORK

(School News and Edrcator)
The need of more work in the
elementary and grammar grades hal
a thorough and timely discussion in
the October School News by County
Superintendent R. {. Moore An eX-
perience as teacher principal and
superintendent in rural town and city
schools by the writer covering a
period of better than tnirty-iive years
strongly confirms Mr.. Moore's views
upon this foundation topic. Says Mr..
Moore, IF there is any time when we
should make haste slowly, il is while
the pupil Is in the elementary and
grammar grade" Well that is all
of the time below the high school,
is it not? But, how should haste be
made slowly? The proposition is akin
to the old receipt for cooking hare

too much of subject and too many

better to do one.half or two-thirds of

to skim the whole of it.
Ii is wise to return to fundamentals

AMENDMENTS
TO MARKET BILL

Special 70 THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, March 2s-Action on
the Wilmington curbstone market bill
was deferred by the Senate after
amendments had been offered by Sem
ators Monaghan and Finn. The
amendment Of Senator Monaghan pro-
vides an average license fee Of So in
stead of $40, as is specified in the orig
inal bill, and it requires a two-thirds
vote of City Council 10 pass ordinances
relating to the markets.
The amendment of Senator Finn
provides for a separate farmers and
truckers market in King street, begin
ming at Second street and continuing
as far north as possible. The termin-
alton OF this market is TO mark tho
beginning of the hucksters' market.
Another amendment offered by SEN
ator Finn increases the wagon space
from eight to ten feet, and exempts
fowl. lamb and veal from the provis-
ion requiring certain products to have
been on the farm of the dealer for
ninety days.
Although the House on Friday after
noon decided to hold a night session
the members changed their minds, and
the motion to hold such a session was
lost by q one-sided vote. Another
motion was then made to hold a ses-
sion tonight. and this was carried.

WHY NOT A DELAWARE DAYa

n Maryland they are agitating Maryland
Day." 1t is proposed to set apart day
which the State and its history are to be
considered. The school children are to think
Of nothing but Maryland and her past and pres
ent In New England it has been the custom TO
have these days and to incucatc the idea that
the Colonial history of this country is practically
the Colonial history OF the New England States.
This false notion is too much taught in our
school books on history. With the usual New
England manner of grasping at everything and
claiming everything, that section tries to eXalt
itself above its sister states.
Hence a Maryland Day" is to show that
there are some other parts of the country worth
while. 1t would not be bad idea to have
Delaware Day" We have in our history OF
these three counties very much of which we can
feel proud. Considering her size and resources,
no state has had better historical record than
Delaware What three counties can show up
finer that the three counties of Delaware?
The teachers in our schools should constantly
incucate the history Of Delaware. Times have
somewhat changed in this respect as teachers
now paying more attention to Delaware,
than formerly Time was and not long ago.
when pupil in Delaware school learned the
history of almost every other important State
but learned little about Delaware. They were
not well informed about the part that Delaware
played in the revolutionary war about our rep
resentatives in the Continental Congress. They
revolutionary war the Delaware and Maryland
line as the back bone of the Continental Army
and, for instance, that it was the Delaware and
Maryland troops at the disastrous battle of
Camden, s. c., that saved the Continental Army
under Gates from almost annihilation.
One could fill columns with reciting the eN-
poits of Delaware, even during the revolution
ary war, and then there would be to tell of the
gallant conduct of the. Delawareans during the
other wars on land and sea, and the splendid
record that Delaware made during the civil
war which has been lately called to mind by the
patriotic effort on the part of our old soldiers
TO have erected a monument to General Smyth,
Of our own city, who fell in an engagement at
the close of that struggle.
So we say Delaware Day would not be
inappropriate in our schools. We have days
commemorating our national heroes, we have
memorials to some of them. Let us be little
selfish once in a while and have a Delaware
Day. to impress upon the minds Of the rising
generation that we-have a, State that does and
should stand erect in the sisterhood of common
Wcalths.

get it.
AS was mentioned at the Board of Trade
meeting, Wilmingtons products have gone TO
all parts OF the world Think of what it will
for the city when Wilmington steel cars
arc sent to every part of the earth.
When the steel car plant is reality, we ex-
pect that the Diamond State Steel Company s
plant will be put in operation Surely the own
ers of that plant, or some other men, who real
ize the advantages of Wilmington a manu-
featuring center-and what high tribute Mr..
Barrett paid TO us when he recently spoke here
will place that factory in operation. Our other
industries will also become buster than ever.
In fact, there is no reason why any ono should
take a view other than optimistic, as regards
the immediate industrial future of the city.
With our industries humming, thousands OF
workmen will be fully employed; there will be
a demand for more houses, the business OF our
merchants will increase.
No wonder there is everything to inspire the
Board of Trade and others interested i'll the
welfare Of the city TO hopefulness and action.
All these men who are working for the adj
vancement of the city should he encouraged in
every possible way. If you are not doing your
part for your city. do not discourage or meanly
critcise those who are doing as best they can.
Every city,in these days that amounts to any
thing is pushing forward. Let us be in ad-
vance of the procession and let us work to-
gether for the progress Of Wilmington and Del

The apparatus perfected by the VIII
mington Brass Company. which has
been invented by James J. English and
John T. Lally officers OF the company,
possesses many advantages over the
apparatus heretofore used. One feature
is that one valve performing a pecu-
liar function does the operation that
formerly required seven valves. An at
tachment permits the placing of a .
l-2 inch fire hose TO the apparatus
from a fire engine or plug through
which fresh water may be played upon
a fire. This is a very desirable feat
ure as it is often necessary to play
water on a fire after chemicals have
been used.
Two tanks. in which chemicals to
form a gas are placed, constitute
the main part of the apparatus. In
each tank is an aperture for a jar in
which is placed sulphuric acid. At the
moment when the chemical is required
for the fire. these Jars are overturned
by a very ingenious appliance and the
acid mingles with the water to form
the composition that is to extinguish
the blaze. The pressure Of gas in the
tanks Is indicated and a valve is turn
ed TO the points which show just at
what stage the operation is. The jars
in which the acid is contained are of
a special composition that will not cor
rode. ~'fheir tops are opened automat-
ically. instead Of by unscrewing, as at
present.
feature also is patent
ed nozzle on the hose which goes with
the apparatus. A cock in the nozzle
prevents sticking due to corrosion

DRUGGIST FIND
ECZEMA CURE

The local druggist is naturally slow
to recommend a remedy for any dis
ease; he will make a recommendation
as a rule, only after he has been thor
ouehly convinced. For he is not look
ing merely for one sale but must have
permanently the confidence Of his GUS
toners.
Perhaps no remedy IN the druggists
stock has been more widely endorsed
by druggists themselves than the. spe-
cidc eczema cure, oil of wintergreen,
