MEDICAL EXAMINATION IN
DOVER SCHOOLS

The people of Dover have made
periodical medical examination a
part of the curriculum of the pub
lie school. The editor of the
State News" in collecting infor-
nation upon the subject, for the
benefit of his readers. received the
following letter from DR.. John p.
CARRIER. Associate Superintendent
Of public education in Philadel-
phia. under the chief. Martin G..
Brumbaugh. DR.. CARRIER writes as
follows:
We have medical inspectors who
call daily at our schools to attend
to cases Of contagious diseases and
eye. ear or throat troubles. The
only demand made upon pupils
when they first enter school is that
they shall furnish certificate Of
successful vaccination. this being a
State law.
We find the medical inspection a
Very helpful thing as it has enabled
rs to safeguard the physical wei
fare Of the pupils in a way which
We could not otherwise have ac-
c0mplished. Of course. in large
city We are able 10 provide for this
daily: in smaller places once a
week might be all that could be
practically carried out. although
as you can readily see that would
make no provision for catching up
all contagious diseases.
Within the last few years W.
have taken up the practice of en-
pert examination for the purpose
Of discovering mental detectives as
well as physical detectives. This
however, involves so much that we
have not been able up TO the pres
ent time to carry it out as fully as
we desire. The regular physician.
as you can readily understand. is
not often expert enough to discover
mental defects in a child.
shall be pleased to have You
call to see me either here or at nv
home if you care to discuss this sub
ject more fully.
Hoping that this covers the main
points on which you desire infer
nation, and wishing for your con-
tinued welfare, I am.
Sincerely. John p. CARRIER.
Associate Superintendent o.
Schools.

HIGHER EDUCATION FOR WOMEN

The above joint resolution pass.
ed by the last session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly fully explains itself
and points plainly to a present
duty.
The new State Board of Educa-
tiOn has shown a spirit of progress
iveness unheard of in Delaware Ed
ucatiOnal circles. In the short time
since its organization. the outline
Of work. given TO the public. is
most encouraging.
In the above resolution will be
seen the necessity of immediate ar
ton. In all probability. the Leg
islature will meet in special ses-
sion some time during the coming
year. Judging from the past ac-
tivities Of the board, there will be
forthcoming a full report. giving
detailed information and definite
recommendations. in compliance
with this duty imposed upon it by
the recent session.
This notice is not addressed so
much to the Board Of Education
as it is to those organizations and
citizens who are in sympathy with
the movement. Here is a chance
TO place our State in rightful po-
sition toward her girls and their
welfare
Mothers land fathers to-. col
lege women. Century Clubs.
Oranges. here is real work to do.
Let 5 give the girls chance.
The resolution shows the PROPOSE
ton before us. 1t is hoped that
every newspaper in the State will
enter into the discussion.
Give the girl a chance.

SEWER
s. The same may be said of the
sewer. Newark can hold up ,,her
head with sister towns until it
comes to the sewer question. Then
the neglect. the delay. the blinded
prejudice and the obstinate ignor-
ance in not getting together at the
last session of the Legislature is a
burning shame that reflects on
decent citizenship.
This question is coming up again
or the town is going down. The
best way to secure sewer legisla-
ton that meets the needs Of the
town is to place it in the hands of
a Board Of Trade Committee that
will do something. The Board of
Health can pass resolutions and
give advice. but it will take some
cool headed business sense to in
stall a sewer.
Whitewashing is all right. but
the lye will eat your hands if used
too much.

BOOM LOCAL TRADE.

Anyone who will take the time tC
watch the package delivery re.
cejved at the depots, will realize
that something is wrong. To see
the great number Of packages re,
ceived. one would think that the
fault was in our merchants fail,
ing to supply the needs of the 10,
cal trade. This is not true. New
ark has stores that can furnish
goods-the same goods that are
coming here by package delivery
from Philadelphia. 1t is not only
the women who are doing their
shopping from a Philadelphia bar
gain advertisement. Many Of the
men do the same thing. We have
men whose heads can be protected
only by Stetson hat. but a trip
to a nearby city is not necessary
Newark has the "Stetson. ~ The
same applies to the "Cluett' shirt.
the standard shoe and all of gents
furnishings. Not only is this true
OF wearing apparel. but even in
groceries. Boxes Of groceries are
shipped to families who make their
living in Newark and who ask the
support of local merchants. In call
ing a man to task for this. he ad-
mitted ne had never thought of it
in that light. But says he. II can
save money by it." OF course he
can. But let him give the same
$50 order to a local grocer and he
will find our local man can easily
compete with the Chestnut Street
Pure Food Display. The reason he
can't do it now, is because the
twenty dollars worth Of groceries
is dealt out and delivered in to
% cent orders, paid for, perhaps,
at the end of the month.
A grocer said recently, "Those
men buy their coal here because it
can't be sent by package and their
sugar because that there is no re-
duction by buying in lots. Yet they
accuse me Of being a poor citizen
because ! don't contribute more
literally toward functions in
which | have no personal interest
and at which | would be persona
nOn-grata. OF course in some
commodities, Newark merchants
have not the demand to warrant
keeping an assortment in stock. But
in most part, the merchants of
Newark are far above the average
country town. And it is surpris-
ing the lack Of genuine apprecia-
ton on the part Of the town resi-
dents.
Here is a chance for the Board
Of Trade. The banks should COOP
crate to hold this money in circula-
tion here. What trade is necessary
TO leave Newark, should be diverted
TO Wilmington. a closer relation
should be established with our
home city.

buy il in Wilmington" has al
ways been the motto Of the Post.
The Board Of Trade by an appeal
through the local papers and per-
sonal work can bring this about.
It might not be amiss for the
New-Century Club to read the adj
vertisements Of the local merchants
and buy accordingly. \ wave of
popular support could be started
by passing a resolution that the
ladies Of Newark do their shopping
at home and for the special things
90 to Wilmington. Suppose all the
New-Century Clubs in the State
were to say, eve shop in Della
ware. y Aside from the sentiment,
don't you see the business in such
a move? Or. suffragists, see the
politics you could play?
It's all a matter Of education
and cooperation.
Lots of our citizens never think
of this. Taking the train to do a
tiresome days shopping has be-
come a habit.
Keeping the trade in Newark is
one thing the Board of Trade can
encourage the mer-
chants.
INDUSTRIAL SIDE.
Of course when You think of :.
Board of Trade, you naturally look !
for an organization who is trying
to boom the industrial interests of
a town. This is only one feature
of the work to be done in a town
like Newark.
Aside. however. from the COM
ments made heretofore. there is
Just now need for some work of
this kind. Other towns are after
the Snider Industry which is To-
Gated here. Newark needs this
plant. The farming section has
been benefited by it. Over $780,
600 has been distributed during the
past season. Now if the Board of
Trade can get these people to
build permanently here, it will be
a big addition to our industries. 1t
means money for the farmers. It
means drawing the rural trade to
town. More business by the mer-
chants, more money for the banks.
And it would not be amiss to
keep an eye open for another small
industry. OF course we want no
mushroom growth, but we can
handle new, good substantial
concern every year.
LEGISLATIVE WORK.
The Town Charter needs revision
and no Council. however strong
and worthy, can successfully make
the necessary changes before
Legislative body Of this State and
keep peace at home. This should
be done by committee represent
ing both ins and outs.
A healthy discussion of these
changes would do good-and these
can best be carried on under the
direction Of the citizenbody in an

DENEEN'S FOES COWED;
HOUSE READY TO QUIT

Springfield, Ill, Nov. 11.--Anti-
Deneen members of the house OF
representatives are beginning to
back up on their scheme for keep
ing the special session of the legis-
lature alive. After the develop
ments Thursday, when the senate
took the unusual step OF asking tho
governor to intervene to bring the
session to a close, the house mem
bers who were not counting on such
a move began to think better OF
their proposition. There was a gem
eraI conference among the house
leaders for the purpose OF finding
out where they Will stand II the gov
ernor issues his proroguing procla-
nation.
The outcome OF this conference was
an entire change of heart. for the con-
ferees saw the point in the hints
which had been dropped in the gov
ernor's Office Thursday and knew they
were beaten. Yesterday morning telc-
grams were sent out by Speaker Ad-
kins to all the members command
ing them TO appear here on Tuesday
TO answer roll call. At that time the
house will concur with the senate's
Joint resolution for sine die adjourn
ment, thereby endeayoring TO steal the
Deneen thunder and stop him from
