STATE ADVANCING ALONG
EDUCATIONAL LINES

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Jan. 2S.-At the educational
conference held here yesterday by the
Women's Club OF Delaware, with Mrs
Grice, a member Of the Philadelphia
Board of Education. and state superin-
tendents spaid. Carroll and Brooks, many
new points were brought out by the inves-
tigation Of compulsory education in Della
ware.
It was found that.
one year ago. Delaware was thirty-third
in literacy in the roll of states, even half
wild Oklahoma being ahead. That the at
tendance at both white and negro schools
was increased from 25 to 50 per centum.
That the enrolment Of the colored
schools has increased Is 1-5 per cent.
That in ten years at this rate. the old
illterste generation having passed away
and all the new generation Of adults COM
ing up the position Of Delaware in regard
10 literacy will be far in the lead.
That the law is not sweeping insofar as
colored children arc concerned was DEM
onstrated by the reports. as only pupils
being within two miles of schoolhouss
are compelled to go.

Editorial
Opinion
Man Who Dsrss.

Kansas City Star.
The man whose career means deeds. re-
sults-the man who does things-is not
afraid to risk mistakes. He of whom it
can be said: He has never made seri-
Gus error Of judgment-his record is flaw
less" will be found to be one who has
done little or nothing worth while. He is
so cautious in contemplating a move that
he hardly dares to make it before its
possible effect has been minimized or lost.
Guarding himself against the reproach OF
public failures, he denies himself the sat-
isfaction Of work we'll done. 1t Is his habit
to study a situation until the time for ac-
ton has passed. He shrinks from respon-
sibility, as he fears criticism. He is sway
ed by the supercaution that goes with a
futile mediocrity.
The other type of man investigates. de-
cides and does. Criticism and the chance
Of ridicule are ignored by him. Between
action and hesitation he chooses action
every time. When 1t comes to taking a
chance or waiting to see what will hap
pen he takes the chance. He would rather
risk a mistake than do nothing. He is
willing to listen to both sides and then
acts on his own judgment, welcoming the
responsibility. If he meets with failure he
does the best thing possible to amend II.
II he is successful he gathers new hope in
dealing with the next problem. That's the
American spirit.

REoRGANIzING THE NAVY.

n order to promote the efficiency Of the navy.
\ both in war and in peace, complete re-
Organization Of the Navy Department has been
effected
The details were worked out by special board
consisting OF the two former secretaries of the
navy, William ii. Moody and Paul Morton
Judge Aston G. Dayton, of West Virginia who
was prominent member of the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs before his elevation to the
bench and FIVE rear adniras OF the navy. They
have been approved by the President and have
now been communicated in the form of an official
order to the various navy yards of the country,
and all others interested
The main purpose of the scheme was to reas-
sign the duty Of the various bureaus of the de-
partment SO 10 prevent duplication of work.
and to keep it under the direct supervision of
specially qualified officers and to create for the
navy what will practically be general staff SINH
lar 70 that in the army.
This latter will continue TO be known as the
General Board, but its importance will be in
creased. so that all the greater interests of the
navy and personnel, including the making OF
plans for war the planning of cruises, the assign
ment Of ships to stations, etc will be under lis
charge. This board will consist of the admiral
of the navy the chief of the bureau of NAVIGATION
president of the naval war college chief intsIl;-
gence officer, member of the board OF inspec-
tion and survey the naval aide to the assistant
secretary. and three of the MOST efficient line Of

ATTACHMENT
IS UPHELD

In Superior Court to-day interesting
points Of law were involved IN an attach
ment case involving s7e.S2 which J. j.
Golden had earned while employed at the
p, b. anP w. round house. 1t appeared
that Siegler and Swayne had secured a
Judgment against Dougherty and Golden
some years ago. Last fall Mr.. Golden
worked for the railroad company. and
William f. Kurtz attorney for Siegler
and Swayne. attempted to attach his
wages, but the railroad company refused
to pay Golden. Golden then sued the rail-
road company and got judgment before
Magistrate Broman. Mr.. Kurtk attached
the judgment and the sheriff made the
attachment in the name OF Andrew c..
Gray, attorney, and paying clerk for the
company. and Mr. Gray accepted service.
John L. Lynn attorney for Golden,
claimed that the attachment had not been
properly made. The court, however. de-
cided otherwise.

A SCHEME THAT WILL FAIL.

T is improbable that the suggestion made
= some time ago that the convicts OF Kent
and Sussex counties should be returned to the
jails at Georgetown and Dover will be seriously
considered. The plan has been exposed as that
of some small fry politicians who want the change
made so that they can get little patronage to
distribute
The newspapers OF the lower counties are Of
one mind in obiectng to such change. The
Dover News which has kept a sharp eye on our
State institutions and which has sometimes been
too caustic in its criticisms of them opposes any
change in caring for convicts. 1t says in effect
that the keeping of prisoners in deness makes
anarchists out of them and does not reform them.
1t describes the scheme TO change the prison
methods brutal and useless"
The commitment Of prisoners't to the worlShouse
at Greenbank was a step forward. That institu-
ton is we believe we'll managed. The trustees
are trying TO perform their duties TO the satsfac-
tion Of the taxpayers and arc constantly looking
around to what improvement can be made.

POLICE LOOKING
FOR BAD BOYS

The police have learned that David
Dubois, at the southeast corner of
Seventh and Jefferson streets. was the
man who caught two boys near his
gas slot meter and was holding them
for the police, when a crowd sur
rounded him and he was forced to let
the lads go. The police believe Du-
Bois' story and say that the boys hood
winked the crowd by telling a sad story
OF the death of the father of one of
them and the destitute circumstances
OF his relatives. The police are now
looking for the boys.
Dubois wanted TO have one man who
was the most demonstrative one in
the crowd, arrested today, but no war
rant was issued as the authorities felt
that this man was taken in like the
rest of the crowd, with the pitiable
tale told by the youngsters.
