last week a most interesting entertain

program within the limits of the hour
allotted. The music used, with the ex-
ception of the opening song of the school

or the words were written by Delaware
ans. The poems recited were about Della
Nare CT written by natives of Delaware.
All the interesting and curious facts
which make Delaware a distinctive state
were brought out in the exercise-"Cur-

butes were paid to the great men who
have fgured in american history, who
claimed Delaware for their birthplace.

Pessimists are having a hard road to
travel these days. The rank and file of
our citizens are taking keener interest
in public affairs. Education of our chill
dren is being discussed in the homes to-
day. Heretofore the training of our
children has been in great part left to
the teacher. Today in the search for bet
ter results, the parents have seen that a
cooperation Is necessary. Thus the or
ganiAaton of Parent Teacher Associa-
tions in communities alert to the needs
of the hour. Several such organization
are doing good work down the State.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION DISCUSSED.
The latest idea suggestive of this in
terest in schools is in Dover. The Bro
therhood of the Peoples Church of that
town held a debate last night, the sub
Ject of discussion being the examination
OF school children by physicians before
the several terms are begun and the pu-
pills admitted. The debate was in charge
of Chairman William Morris. Several
physicians and school teachers will talk
at the meeting. The Board of Educati tiOn
has been invited to hear the discussion.
PRACTICAL CIvICS.
Last spring Ex-senator Ball conceived
the idea that meeting of the high
school class in Civics would be benefited
by talk from a practical public man.
So ne invited the class to his home at
Falkland to meet Congressman Heald.
Mr.. Head gave them some views on
government and legislation as worked out
in the halls of Congress. The class was
so much interested that later Mr.. dupont
o. Ia n Ia tn Va n ipUt On
where they visited the Senate, House of
Representatives and the Departmental
Bureaus. Here was practical demon
stration in Cvics.
All this has aroused keener interest
in the study OF government. Last week
the Senior class attended meeting of
the City Council and saw the methods Of
procedure carried out
This is all tending toward better citi-
senship.
