SITS SLAVERY

A bitter cup each life must drain;
The grooming earth is cursed with pain,
And, like the scroll the angel bore
The shuddering Hebrew seer before,
O'erwrit alike without, within,
With all the woes which follow sin;
But bitterest of the ills beneath
Whose load man totters down to death,
Is that which plucks the regal crown
OF freedom from his forehe cad down,
And snatche s from his powerless hand
The sceptered sign Of self-command,
with the chain and rod
The image and the seal of God;
Till from his nature, day by day,
The many virtues fall away,
And leave him naked, blind, and mute,
The godike merging in the butte!
Whittier.

"rm WAGES OF SIM rs DEATH

never see a young man throwing away
his God-given opportunity and spending
his time in folly with sinful companions,
that / cannot trace the end from the be-
ginning. He is sowing the seeds of
shame and he will reap his harvest and
it Will be dishonor.
If such persons were so completely
separated from those who brought them
into the world that they could not inflict
trouble on the innocent, 1t would be of
less moment to those who mourn and
groan under such afflictions but II is a
fact that those who love them most are
those who suffer most, and the bitter
est of the ills is that which the family
must suffer in shame, modification, hui
initiation anu death in life.
1 never see girl filled with pride and
undutifulness to parents, going down to
misery as fast as time can roll, but
say to myself: What a pity you had
not been an untImely birth, never seeing
the light and never able to wiring your
mothers heart with sore grief and anx-
iety."
And what master is sin, and how
sin can blackmail a human soul as soon
as it catches the unwary and holds the
sinner in its clutches!
I heard a good sermon lately on the
love of Christ, who, understanding the
slavery of sin, came into the world to
pay the debt and allow the poor sinner
respite and liberty once again, because
the soul that sinneth shall surely die,
and after death comes the judgment
II there was no hereafter it would pay
we'll TO walk uprightly in the fear Of
God, and mans highest estate comes
through the blessings of a clean life and
honest conducl
1t is impossible for us to overcome all
the evil in the world, but the conscious
ness of right-thinking and right-living
will make our own burdens easier to bear
ana our example under affliction and

Some Interesting Facts About Tuskegee

AT Tuskegee there are nearly 1000
students and over $50 teachers. lhere
are two classes OF students, day
school and night school students.
The night school students work all
day at any kind of task they are called
upon to do. They receive their board,
clothing and home--they pay no tut
ton. but are paid for their labor, the
amount being placed to their credit,
so when $50 is accumulated they can
enter as day students
If you ask to pay the answer is
please go elsewhere You have to
work for an education there.
The farm consists of about 5000
acres. There are 400 head cattle,
about 500 hogs, 200 horses. great
flocks OF chickens, geese, ducks and
turkeys. 1t is the intention to raise
all food that is consumed on the place,
and manufacture all supplies. There
are wagon shops, saw mill, harness
shop, shoe shop, tailor shop, a
printing plant, a model laundry and a
canning establishment. Fine fruit and
vegetables, thousands of peach, plum
and apple trees and vast acreage OF
berries.
No prohibitive signs at Tuskegee,
except tobacco and strong drink. There
is no Harvard beer or Yale mixture at
T.skegee.
"To do your work" is the motto
there.
The order, system cleanliness, indus
try, courtesy and usefulness is what
tile institution stands for.
A noted American who visited there
says. lit is beautiful, wholesome,
sanitary place-no sink holes, no back
yards and some day other colleges vii
be patterned after the institute Il
founded by Booker Washington.

Our Agricultural Opportunity

Most excellent work is being done
by the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, connected with Delaware Col
lege, but is its service being fully az
preciated by the farmers of this State?
We doubt il this question can be an
swered in the affirmative. The science
of agriculture is coming to be recog
nized as one OF the most important
branches OF learning, and Delaware
presents fine field for practical ap-
plication OF the knowledge to be gain
ed by a careful study OF what is being
done at our Agricultural Experiment
Station. 1t is not necessary to take
course at the station i'll order to proht
by its excellent work The truth i:
that our farmer friends do not fully
realize the advantage OF system in
farm work
In an address recently delivered by
Mr.. Wllett H. Hays, Assistant Secre-
tary OF the United States Department
of Agriculture are set forth some
wholesome truths regarding education
on agricultural lines.
Speaking of wheat growing, Mr..
Hays declares that the greater part
of the country today is on a fifteen
bushel basis, with twenty-five bushel
opportunity, with other farm products
in proportion. Mr.. Hays says that the
remedy for this condition is to be
found in better systematic education
in agriculture He believes that, ex-
cept in isolated cases, the oldtime
one-room rural school house should
give away to the consolidated school,
with its ten-acre farm and in his opin-
ion the future typical consolidated
farm school will have ten-acre farm
The method OF administration OF u
school farm was treated at length by
Mr.. Hays. Broadly, for the present, il
contemplates the education of the
youth OF the agricultural sections OF
the country in the possibilities and op-
portunities OF farming-in other words
teaching them methods which will
place a tfteen-bushel acre on twenty.
tive-bushel basis. 1t is not suggested
that the consolidated school shoulo
take the place of the High School, bu
that the broadest possible culture
training for the embryo farmer is ne
cessary to his development as a sue
cessful producer. Mr.. Hays idea il
to utilize the opportunity afforded by
the rural primary school to instil into
the minds of the youth the love of tn,
land and at the same time lay the foun
dation for intelligent and profitable
operation of the farm.
Mr.. Hays suggestions are origina
and untried, but they possess feature.
which should commend them to tn.

A WORD TO WILMINGTON

IN another column is given an anaiy-
sis Of the census OF Wilmington by the
Philadelphia Press. 1t plainly shows
the healthy tendency OF our people 10
the suburbs and the country. Modern
modes OF travel have annihilated dis
tances and the office man and working
man can live in the country and reach
his work with more ease and less IN
convenience than he could even de-
csde ago. He can keep his family
and rear his children in the country
with its pleasing surroundings and ad-
vantages with the same amount OF
money, ii not less, than he can Ill the
city.
The convenences of the country
home are equal to those OF the city;
the outdoor life increases the vitality
and life is worth more with the garden
and the rest from the hustle OF city
life. A man can live at Newark and
reach his work in Wilmington with the
greatest ease. Newark has some OF
Wilmington's good folk, and when the
advantages of our town and its pleas
ant surroundings are better known,
more will come and rear their families
out here among the hills.
We will welcome them from Wal
mington and Philadelphia ,and assure
them that their children will feel the
benefit, and be better men and better
women for having lived out here III
the open air.
This is no blot on Wilmington-ir-
stead OF brooding over this, her busi-
ness men want to reach out and keep
in touch with her suburbs. Newark,
the same as many other New Castle
county towns, feel very kindly toward
" Ailmngton-and also feel that vii
ngton does not take the interest in
surrounding country that she
ould--that would be OF advantage to
er as we'll as the country-folk at
rge. The association should be
oser and Il the business interests are
pt careful the larger cities will look
Eter those interests. Philadelphia has
rawn and is drawing entirely too
huch trade from Newark. and Balti-
bore is reaching out in this direction
Our trade that is necessary to go
b the city should go to Wilmington.
