GORGE CARS COLLIDE
ELEVEN PEOPLE ARE MORE OR
LESS INJURED.
Passengers Have Most Miraculous
Escape From Being Thrown Into
Whirlpool Rapids.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-At least
IL people were more or less In
jured, some quite seriously, when two
cars came together head on on the
Gorge route mile north of this city.
The accident, while 1t was most serio
Gus, was the most fortunate one that
ever occurred on the Gorge railroad,
and every passenger on the two cars
had most miraculous escape from
being thrown into the whirlpool rap
ids. The cars, each with string Of
trailers, six in number, were crowded
with tourists. The northbound car
was on it's way to meet the Toronto
boat which leaves Lewiston for Tor
onto at six o'clock p. M, while the
southbound car had load of pas
sengers returning to this city.
The reason given for the accident
is that the block signal system re-
fused to work and that when the
northbound car came from back OF
the abutment of the cantilever bridge
the motorman applied his brake, but
they refused to work, and the cars
came together with terrific mom@H-
tum. the northbound car being on a
steep grade. The southbound car was
turned around at short angles and,
with its load of passengers, balanced
on the embankment, threatening any
moment to topple into the rapids, in
which case every person in it would
have been swept to death. The front
vestibules of both cars were reduced
to hndlingwood, while the rear ones
were also smashed by the weight Of
the loaded trailers.

ADDRESS OF W S. CORKRAN AT COMMENCEMENT
THE FUNCTION OF DELAWARE COLLEGE OUR SYSTEM OF STATE
PUBLIC EDUCATION

Delaware solely an agricultural col
leee: Others declare that her mission
is engineering. Some would emplia-
size the classical. and we even hear
whisperings OF commercial branches.
In the chaos of arguments proceeding
from those interested enough to eN-
press themselves we are led almost to
forget that the college must endeavor,
az far as possible, to give higher edu-
cation to all classes of people.
The stability of college depends
largely upon the mental and moral
fibre of her sons and the success which
they display in solving the intricate
problems Of our busy world. If her
sons reveal the mysteries OF the held
and forest, her standing with the iol-
lowers OF the modern plow and axe is
established. Ii they become successful
teachers, lawyers. and ministers, her
glory is magnitied wherever education,
law and the gospel are appreciated.
Ii they stand at the top OF their engi-
neering profession and the great hnan-
cial enterprises, then their alma mater
is accorded much of the credit. In all
these lines Delaware's graduates have
attained eminence. We find them
scattered throughout the Union, and
even on foreign soils, rejecting credit
upon the college which sent them forth.
No institution can prosper without
the active support OF her alumni. nat
most of Deisware's graduates appre-
ciate the training they received here,
and are heartily encouraging the work
OF the college, there can be no doubt;
for they are showing in practical way
their acknowledgment OF what the col
leee has done for them. But since the
college is small and her alumni widely
scattered, the citizens OF the State
must give their generous support 10
Justify their support the col'e"e must
offer something in return. To the citi-
zen interested in the applied sciences
the college must offer courses in engi-
neering To the man engaged IN the
development of the soil the college
must offer its aid and the benefit of
its experimentation i'll all branches OF
farming To the man inclined toward
the broader training OF the pure
sciences and languages the college
must furnish general educational
courses.
The courses are here, and it is the
privilege of the citizen to avail himself
Oi the helpful influences and encourage
his sons to grasp the opportunity
which lies So closely at their doors.
From a casual observation OF the
number oi students enrolled in the
several departments you would quite
Likely be led to believe that the ap-
piled science were the main curriculum
work: but the deeper and more com
preheHsi .S study is sure to convince
you that a mere comparison OF the
numbers enrolled is oi little value in
determining Delaware's influence upor
Newark post., 1910-06-15

For some years the function OF Della
ware College IN our system OF state
public education has been a subject OF
general discussion among the State
authorities and friends oi this institu-
ton. Our college has frequently been
subjected to severe adverse criticism,
and seldom has note of praise been
publicly sounded, yet withal she has
made remarkable strides toward the
goal OF efficiency, until TO-DAY she
proudly. though humbly, holds her
own among the best of such instltu-
tions.
For a proper understanding OF Della
ware and her work we should consider
the terms of the foundation upon which
she depends for her existence.
In 1870 the Federal government by
a grant OF public lands provided for
the establishment in each State OF a
college devoted to the teaching OF Ag-
riculture and the Mechanic Arts, and
Military Tactics. This college was
named bv our State as beneficiary and
in return the Board OF Trustees gave
to the State "a joint and equal nscr-
est in the grounds, buildings, librar-
les and vested funds OF the college
proper" Besides these provisions.
later appropriations have provided
for instruction in the various branches
of mathematical, physical, natura
and economic sciences. The income
derived from these various sources
gave Delaware new lease on life, and
her remarkable and steady develop
ment is in itself sufficient evidence OF
her worth anj position at the head OF
our State system OF public education.
Let us consider the record made by
Delaware.
Seventy-hve years ago, as a private
school she devoted her energies in
giving broad fundamental training for
business, law, medical, teaching and
the ministry. To-day her mission IS
not only to provide her graduates with
this broad general education for iu-
ture usefulness. but also to furnish
them with preparation for immediate
service in farming, engineering and
the commercial pursuits. Now she has
tbs support OF the national govern
ment and the State Of Delaware, it
cannot be denied that her influence is
contributing wonderfully toward bet
tering conditions in the State and in
aiding the youths in becoming better
local and national citizens. We realize
this all the more after looking over
the list OF Delaware's Alumni and find
ing there names that are symbolic oi
true American citizenship and the lead
ers of our public life and the profes-
sions.
Much OF the criticism that has beer
directed upon the college has arisen
from the present policy oi the institu
tion-the laying OF proportional stress
on her various courses OF instruction
Some OF our citizens would have

Way oi Christian Life" His text

emphasis on certain words of the text
First, LET. The Master did not say
shine your light. Do not let your
