MORE SHAD
FOR THE RIVER

Dr. Evan C. Shortlidge. fish ocmmis-
sioner for Delaware. was in Washing
ton yesterday. where he conferred with
United states Fish Commissioner
Bowers relative To sending tho Gov
ernment fish boat Fish Hawk TO these
waters 10 hatch young shad and plant
thcm In the fresh waters Of the Dela-
ware River above this city.
DR.. Shortlidge sair the Fish Hawk
is now being fitted out and would arr
rive here shortly. He thought that
because of the condition Of the water
i'm the river at Marcus Hook, made
so by the oil plants there, that the
spawn would be obtained either at
Gloucester. or above Philadelphia. Ho
said he hoped that several million fish
would be Matched and planted DUR
ing the season. The young shad are
about a quarter OF an inch long when
planted and they remain in fresh
waters until they have grown TO three
and four inches In length. They then
seek the salt waters.
DR. Shortlidge said he did not think
there was any scarcity Of shad in the
Delaware. and explained the poor
catches of several years past 70 the
fact that weather conditions we're
against the fishermen. He thought
that with good weather the fishermen
would have a good season this year
DR.. Shortlidge said he did not know
where the Fish HawlS would be station
ed during the time the Matching is In
progress. It has been several years
/ since the vessel was in these waters

Of gratitude He converted Ireland to tho
faith. He filled it with sanity men and
women who even in his own day went
forth in their turn to evangelize others.
ITO celebrate it by revelry and drunken
ness is TO insult st. Patrick and the
Church. The vile caricaures OF Irishmer
sometimes put forth at this time are very
properly resented by those Of Irish blood
but none OF these is as vile and insultine

COMPULSORY
LAW UPHELD
Board Of Education Members
Feel Parents D. Not
Realize Facts
THINK COURT SUMMONS
JUSTIFIABLE UNDER LAW

, The members OF the Board Of Education
do not feel that some Of the parents who
have criticized the action OF the school
authorities IN proceeding against num-
ber OF truant children yesterday realize
the facts of the case. The authorities are
acting In compliance with the compulsory
education law which. they say demands
such action. They point out that tho law
was passed by a State legislature not
made by the Board. and that the penalty
FOR non-onforcement OF the law Is tho
withholding OF sas 600 to $4,000 per year Of
the state appropriation OF school funds.
Tho law also provides for fine or impris-
onmont for the teacher or person in par
entail relation who neglects TO enforce
compulsory education. An amendment TO
the state law, moreover. requires tho
wilmington Police Commissioners 10 CO.
operate with the Board OF Education I'M
the enforcement Of tho compulsory educe-
tion law.
Tho superintendent OF the Wilmington
schools has been acting under the direct
instruction Of the Board OF Education, In
the matter. lie says more has been done
for the truant children than the Jaw re =
quircs. The idea, the superintendent says.
is TO protect the community. It is said
that the majority Of the truant children
have been running the streets and the
airaignment nthe iCty Court now It Is
believed will save them from the worse
stigma OF the Industrial school or the
workhouse later ON.
Il was pointed out to-day that some-
thing has to be done 10 save these children
from worse things, and the authorities be-
liove the city court is the only effectiNo

Tho authorities feel that the matter is
tho best sort of an argument for iuye-

bring the children into court. but they be-
