A PROGRESSIVE SUNDAY
SCHOOL

Evidently the officers Of the New
ark Presbyterian Sunday school
are determined to have live. up
to-date school. Arrangements have
been made to establish the graded
system, which has the endorsement
Of Sabbath school experts. All the
needed materials for this system
have been secured, and by the first
Of the new year will be put in oper-
alton. During the first quarter the
members of the infant class will
study the graded system pertaining
to that part Of the second year
Thus they will have in language
within their comprehension sacred
history, illustrated by nature, and
some of the mechanical parts to be
done in their homes. The small
scholars, ranging between the siN
and nine years Of age, are under
the supervision Of Miss Anna G
Smith, assisted by Miss Alice Penn

A TOWN HALL.

For several years there has been
considerable discussion relative to
improving our fire fighting appara-
tuS. Lack of funds has. Of course.
been the bone Of contention. This
last summer the officers Of the To-
cal company decided to hold a car
nival. Fighting all sorts of opposi-
ton and Encouragement at the be-
ginning. a spirit Of enthusiasm
spread over the town with the re-
suit that the tiremen hold the rec
ord for the greatest carnival or
public entertainment ever held III
Newark. Not only was it a sue
cess from a social standpoint and
general good time, but the net pro-
ceeds far exceeded anything ever
held in Newark.
The question has now been raised
whether it would not be better to
buy land on Main street, erect a
building in keeping with the
growth of the town. Of course
this money belongs to the firemen
to invest as they deem best.
Without entering into the sub
ject of new engine which some
claim would be Of no great ad-
vantage when our water supply is
taken into consideration, or on the
other hand firemen's hall, which
others hold is an unnecessary ex-
pense. No discussion but merely
as a suggestion. A Town Building
for Newark centrally located on
Main street.
First hoor-A main entrance
leading to second floor. On one
side room for fire equipment. On
the other side, Public Reading
Room and recreation room, with
Town Library in the rear. Also it
might be we'll for secretary and
treasurer of Council TO have his Of
flee here for the convenience of the
citizens.
On the second floor we will have
the reading room and pool room for
the exclusive use Of the firemen. The
Newt Century Club can have perma-
nent quarters. Then there would
be the Town Council chambers and
Board Of Trade rooms. A room to
be used as a citizens hall. where
popular lectures, entertainments
could be given Everybody would
feel welcome because it would be
theirs.
The whole building to be under
the supervision Of committee
composed of representatives of
Council, Fire Company, New-Cen-
tury Club and Board Of Trade.
Just as a suggestion, let there be
a display in Council chamber of
the products manufactured in
Newark
A wild dream and who would
pay for it? Let s see. The fire.
men want a building, the Century
Club wants a building, the Hose
House could be sold and that
money appropriated. The churches
see the need of Public Reading
Room. All Of them would join
This would be a wise move for il
would then be undenominational
And Newark would have a building
that would be Of credit and Of use
A Board of Trade can get this
thing started.
Is it worth while?

LETTER FROM TREASURER.

Newark Board of Trade, New
ark Delaware, November 7, 1911.
Editor Newark Post. Dear Sir :
In answer to your letter to me as
published in the Post. will say that
no money has been paid into the
treasury since the original cOntri-
buttons were made. The funds col
lected were used to employ a spec
ialist on publicity. to issue a book
let, to place signs along the rail
roads. to purchase land for the
American Machine Co., and to meet
other expenses of the Board. These
expenses took all and more than the
amount collected. leaving a deficit
which | am informed was paid by
the president.
While I believe that the Board
is entitled to credit for part at
least Of Newark s improvement,
still much more could be done to
make and keep this the best town
in the State.
Very truly yours,
Edward w. Cooch,

LETTERS TO EDITOR
New Liauor Ordinance

To the Editor of The ge-Herald.
 Regardless of the radical ordinance adopted by the city commissioners, taboo ing illicit storage, or sale of intoxicant- ing liquors, are they not transgressing the federal constitution when they de- mand that citizen must notify the chief of police upon the reception of a package of whisky, either interstate or intrastate, when shipment Is made into a voiced, legal territory?
 Suppose l, as a private citizen, should receive package of whisky from friend in Kalamazoo, Mich, for my own private use, is it necessary for me to notify the chief of police or his lieutenants, that I have received notice from transpor- tation lines of the arrival of package of liquors and desire him to pass on its purity ultimate legal use. etc?
 Do the commissioners of Birmingham intend to impose such hardship upon honest, law abiding citizens of this or any other community in order to carry out their plan of suppression of illicit sales of intoxicants, thereby enabling them to reduce much needed increased police force?
 These are questions which many Bir- mingham citizens desire answered.

PEACE RE|GNS IN GERMANY Quarrels Forgotten and the Future Is Closed Book RUSSIA PROGRESSING Retirement of Baron Conrad Von Hoetzendorf Deeply Annoys Ger

 Abroad in Turkey
By FREDERICK WERNER

Berlin, December 26.-(Special.)-The peace of Christmas has settled down over Germany and all quarrels, from the heat ed debates on the Morocco agreement in the reichstag and the more personal quar- rels on a thousand election platforms. to the quarrels between the present and fu- ture Kaiser, are buried temporarily.
 Germany will enter the near year, a week from now, without any of the per sistent rumors of changes in. the cabinet having materialized. A short time ago it was said everywhere that the Kaiser had decided to throw overheard the chum of his students days at Bonn, Chancellor Von Bethmann-Holweg in favor of his close friend Admiral Won Tirpitz, who navy, to the chancellorship, but although nnvy, othe chancellorship. but although the Kaiser may ultimately have to listen tr public clamor and select a scapegoal for the bunder of permitting France tc acquire Morocco in return for some thou sand square miles of uninhabitable Afri can swamps. it is at present absolutely useless to speculate on what may happen for the future is a closed book.
 Everything depends on whether the government will secure a majority in the coming reichstag' elections, for slowly and reluctantly Germany is approaching mod ern parliamentarism.
 Speaking of the elections, the new reich stag will probably include that very rare thing. namely, a member who has oncc been minister The man in 4ouestiOn is Count PosadowskyWe Wehner. who wa, minister of the interior in Prince Beulow': cEancellorship. He has lived in retire nlent for some years. but has now yielded to the request of no less than four parties and will contest Bielefeld for the conser vatives.
 In Russia political evolution has mad, remarkable progress during the year which Is about to end, a fact which 1. ] made evident by the increasing fearless
