A GOOD WOMAN GONE.

r + there is anything in the gospel of doing
i good, in the gospel of practical charity
and there s-and if the story of the Good Sa-
marian has live application to-day-and we be
lieve it has-AIrs Ellen G.. Wogan, the police
matron who died the other day has gone to
long and blessed reward.
What a sacrificing life she led, and what good
she must have accomplished. She was brought into
close touch with misery, with misfortune that is
seen so much as matter of course at the police
station that those connected with it sometimes
become callous and unmoved.
Some years ago it was deemed advisable to
have police matron, position that has become
one of the most important connected with the
force Mrs Wogan filled that place and filled
it well. Much of her good work did not see the
light of day, but it was impressed on the hearts
OF those whom she looked after and comforted
and for whom she made life trihe brighter The
little children will miss her and the poor will
miss her
No one can tell how much good this woman
did, how many homes she helped The chill
dren who have been made happier on Christmas
Dav will miss Mrs Wogan. Much of the work
in connection with the Police Christmas tree
devolved upon her, but she found pleasure in it.
Verify, it NAV be said of her that she rests from
her labors and her works do follow her.

"PRAcrIcALo EDUcATIoN.

A CCORDING to the Milford Chronicle, in
all of Kent county there are but two boys
to graduate from the high school departments OF
the public schools for the year ending this
month. In all the schools where there are
graduating classes they are composed exclu-
sivey of girls, except in two-Ilarrington and
Smyrna
The Chronicle thinks that this proves conclu-
sivey that the public schools are not offering
educational facilities acceptable to the boys
especially The Chronicle calls the situation
unusual, but we are under the impression that
girls have always outnumbered the boys
in the graduating classes of the high schools IF
Delaware towns
1t is proper. saws the Chronicle, to offer
classical courses for such pupils as wish to 90
to college. but these courses should be elective
From the figures. however. it seems that but
small percentage of pupils in the high schools Of
the towns expect to enter colleges The bow
and girl of the public school must have practical
opportunity TO learn that which will be of use
to them in living the life Of Delaware, be it on
the farm in the shop, in business generally.
a change in the course of'study to meet these
requirements might he made, as that is what the
Chronicle obviously has in mind but we doubt
whether such change would result in a larger
percentage of boys staying in school.
The time spent in high schools with the
present courses Of study is not wastet<by any
means as the education and knowledge gained
is merely foundation useful to a youth what
ever his life work may be-
Many boys dislike to GO to school and on
one pretext or another abandon their studies rs
soon as possible Sometimes they are forced to
quit before finishing high school studies
because they have to support themselves but in
other instances boys whose parents are well
able to put them through the high school prefer
going TO work to attending school In after
wears they will regret their lack of an early edu-
cation. They will realize then that they should
have attended school for as many years as poss-
ible They will try to make up for their neglect
ed opportunities. MANY a young man with a
little more education than he possesses would
be able to get along better in the world
However, the complaint that the public
schools do not give practical instruction is OF
long standing and it would do no harm for the
school authorities to adjust the studies to meet
these complaints.
