impossible to extend the privilege
to the school. This might be for the
best in most cases, but the fact that
Delaware is al State College, sup
ported by the State for the benefit

us to believe it is not asking too
much Of the College officials. .i

PEOPLES COLUMN

To the Secretary of the Board Of
Health: | am as conscientious as
any other citizen of Newark in
abiding by the town laws. / own
property in town limits, well i'm
proved, that is, if a cess-pooI may
be considered one of 'the modern
improvements. Usually, l spend
twenty dollars each year, occasion
ally more than that sum to keep
said Improvement in 'sani-
tary" condition.
However, after abiding by the
ruling of the Board of Health and
paying out so much Of good money,
| am forced to conclude that the
best way to keep cess-pools in good
condition is never to have them
cleaned. The more frequently
they are cleaned, the more quick
ly they overflow, as they readily
become filled with surface water.
Now, my property is only one in
great number, and from many
other people have l heard the same
reports. One citizen. an authority
in town affairs, able to pay for the
work and willing to do so, was
heard to say that he considered it
useless. There is no doubt but
that the surface ground around
improved properties in Newark is
contaminated, and the man who
was at one time the fortunate own
er Of a well Of good, pure water re-
bells at the ruling of the Board of
Health which demands that his
well shall be closed. And there
is no doubt that he is less able, as
a rule, to provide himself with
town water than is the owner Of
the improved property to pay his
share Of a sewer system.
This condition throughout the
town is causing the most surprised
and unfavorable comments from
visitors, but that is not the vital
point. Assuredly, the Board Of
Health is following the line Of least
resistance, in ordering such work
done when it seems /. be needed.
but collection of back-door
dumping pools is not going to solve
the question Of a healthful town.
It is bungling attempt at sani-
tary conditions, with the resultant
disappointment. X.
Sports at the Newark High
School have always been lacking.
Although this may be due in part
to want of spirit in the school, that
is not the entire explanation. 1t is
difficult to select winning team
from small student body. We
have had an Athletic Association
in the High School for only three
years. At first we had baseball
team. Last year there was some talk
