NEW PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR
IS FORMALLY INSTALLED
REV. j. {. FRANKLIN INDUCTED
INTO OFFICE WITH CEREMONY
Moderator Allison, of Wilmington,
Propounds the Constitutional Ques-
tions.-1he Reception Follows

Rev. j. Edgar Franklin was on
Thursday evening last installed pastor
of the Presbyterian Church of Smyrna
The occasion was an interesting one
IN the history of the church and one
which made those present feel that a
prosperous future awaited the Pres
byterians of Smyrna. Rev. Franklin
received the office and it's attending
responsibility with deep solemnity and
while he had nothing to say with
reference to his work in Smyrna at
the impressive services of his install
lation, his first sermon as pastor of
this charge on Sunday morning was
fraught with meaning as he referred
to the work to be taken up under the
new relations. The new pastor and
his family have made a good impress
sion in our midst and not an attendant
upon his services but felt that the
church has made good choice. No
town in the Presbytery can boast of
prettier church edifice or more
comfortable manse, both of which are
free of debt. The program of in
stallation was carried out Thursday
night as previously advertised. Rev.
Alexander Allison Of Wilmington,
the moderator of the sessions, presid-
ed and propounded the constitutional
questions. Rev. Joseph Brown Turner
of Dover Presbyterian Church, preach
ed the sermon, a strong discourse
appropriate to the occasion. The
Rev, John E. Eggert, of Harrington,
gave the charge to the pastor and
the Rev. E. B. Welsh, of East Lake
Church, Wilmington, gave the charge
to the people. The services were
interspersed with singing and music
by the choir and congregation.
After the installation services an in
formal reception was rendered
Pastor Franklin and his family and
the social season that followed was
hearty in its good will and fellow
ship.

HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS
OF STATE HOLD MEETING
CONSIDER PLANS FOR IMPORT
ANT WORK AFFECTING SCHOOL S
Met in Dover Recently and Adjourned
to Hold Another Session on Sep
tember Twenty-fourth Next

1t was determined at Dover last
week, by the principals who met
there, to call for a meeting of High
School teachers of the State together
with all the principals of schools of
at least four teachers. This meeting
will take place in Dover, September.
"a, 1910. The purpose of the meet
ings of this organization will be for
conference on supervision and on
teaching of High School subjects.
In nearly all of the nearby States
and in New England they have such
organizations. From them is derived
much good by the individual member.
Conference of one teacher with
another always results in good to
both. Each may profit by the others
success or failure. At the county
Institutes where nineteen out of
twenty teachers are grammar school
teachers it would be impractical for
any considerable share of the pro-
gram to be given to High School
work. Uniformity gained by such
an organization would be greatly to
the convenience of pupils who have
to shift from one school to another.
In Massachusetts the Headmasters'
Association regulates even inter-
scholastic athletics in such way
that boy must be in good standing
in school to be on any team repre-
senting his school Not the least ad-
vantage of this organization will be
the opportunity for High School
teachers and principals to hear some
times experts in their special branch
of teaching.

Christ from the testimony of the
witnesses on both sides. The lecture
is unique in many respects, treating
the subject from legal standpoins
and carrying force of argument
that would convince the most skspti-
cal. Mr.. Handy assumes nothing,
but with the precision and logic of 8
lawyer he establishes his case to
prove the death and resurrection of
Christ, treating his hearers as a jury
and summoning his witnesses one by
one. He cross examines the soldier
at the tomb, and takes the testimony
of the apostles to prove the credibil-
ity Of the resurrection story. The
argument is original throughout, and
such as would be framed by the keea
legal mind of a jurist of thorough
training and wide experience.

CHANGERS DISCUSS GOOD

M. v. FORD OF SMYRNA GRANGE
ONE OF THE SPEAKERS
Representatives of State Oranges
From all over the State Discuss
Soper Law and Appeal to Court

OOPS' -eW ohN NpPGdi 10 OOQrT
Prior to going before the Kent
County Levy Court to urge perman-
ent improvement of the public
roads, the representatives of every
grange and farmers organization in
Kent county assembled in the Offices
of the State Board of Education yes-
terday with Pomona Master Edward
A. Evans presiding, and Secretary
Wesley Webb of the State Grange
acting as secretacy. The secretary
was requested to and did read the now
famous Soper good roads law. Chair
man Evans asked for expressions from
every grange represented so that a
concrete proposition coull be prepared
and made to the Levy Court. Mat
thew V. Ford, of Smyrna, stated that
there was objection to the borrowing
and bonding proposition because
money spent elsewhere in road i'm
proveme 1T on such large scale had
not been economically spent. There
had been such waste that there was
general trepidation and fear over the
advisability of a small rural county
like Kent becoming so involved and
then perhaps the victim of waste.
He offered in substitution to select
the traversed roads and spend what
money could be raised, outright,
without bonding. care you in favor
of raising extra money by extra
taxation?" asked Chairman Evans.
81 would say not, although there is
no clear expression on that point.
Lavinius Austin, of Milford. fav-
ored supervisor to be on the work
at all times, early and late, and see
that it was done Systematically, but
with only the moneys that could be
raised and realized without bonding
the county. The waste and difficult
ty now experienced, he declared was
because a commissioner would lay
out certain work to be done, but
could not stay with it, and the re-
suit was that it would be done all
wrong. Water could not get off and
slop and mud and soft roads were
the consequence. The grangers in
their contention with the Levy Court
finally DECIDED against borrowing
money or extra taxation for good
road purposes, and made this propo-
sition: Resolved, We hereby ask
the Levy Court to expend s25, 900 as
soon as practicable in building good
roads with the material at hand un-
der the direction of a competent en-
gineer. 90 Final action will be ta-
ken by the court on April 19.
