sociation adjourned. The place for
the next meeting will be named later
by the executive committee.
The most important matter which
came before the lawyers was the pro-
posed bill regulating the appeals to
the State Supreme court. This bill
proposes to reduce appeals to a mini
mum by refusing such appeals on
purely technical grounds except in
such cases as it shall be shown that
one or the other of the parties in in
terest shall have been injured thereby.
A few minor amendments were made
to the proposed bill, and it was re-
ferred to the special commission re-
Gently named by the governor
The first section of the bill covers
the entire field in a general way in
the following language: All courts
shall at all times disregard every er-
ror, irregularity or defect in the plead
ings and proceedings which shall not
affect the substantial rights of the
adverse party; and no final judgment
or interlocutory or final decree shall
be reversed or affected by reason of
suhc error, irregularity or defect"
Afte considerable discussion a res
0lution was adopted and submitted to
he special commission dealing with
special instructions. 1t was pointed
)ut that in many cases special in
'tructions were asked and given with
,ut argument. This resulted in many
erroneous verdicts, declared the at

WELCOME THE STATE GRANGE

Arrangement are about com
pleted for the entertainment OF
tba State Grange which meets here
nariy in December. It is hoped
the folk Of Newark will do every
thing possible to make the tonven-
tion a success. Last year, when
the Grange met at Lewes, very
fiattering reports were made OF
the hospitable reception given by
the Sussex town. Residents of
Newark are perhaps not quite so
personally interested III farm sub
ircts AS in the lower counties, but
this should in no way deter us from
irving the farmer delegates IA
right royal welcome. According
10 reports. when our ladies set out
to entertain a guest, a visit to New
ark becomes IA pleasant recollection.
We must realize, too, that the
farmers of Delaware and their
wives are becoming strong force
in the shaping Of measures leading
TO better Delaware. The Grange
is no small factor in the State.
Representing as it does, progress
sive and active citizenship, awak-
pning to realization of its power,
it promises to WELD strong infiu-
ence on legislation leading to pub
lie welfare. Questions Of varied
interests have received thought and
debate. Prominent among these.
is that Of education. The Grange
of the whole State is keyed to high
interest in this question and has
pointedIy expressed the need for
changes for betterment. Not only
is this true of the System Of Public
Schools but of Higher Education
as we'll The relation and duty OF
Delaware College to the State has,
bv the administration of the Agrl-
cultural Department, been brought
forcibly to public attention. The
Grange has realized the benefits to
be derived and has entered into a
hearty and healthy support OF the
College, Only recently has this
sense of ownership and duty tc
each other, been realized. The
Grange has reckoned well the op
portunity and is in the forefront il
strongly demanding equal chance
for the education Of their girls anc
with one accord has agreed on th'
idea of the Affiliated College witt
Delaware.
Whether all classes of our citi
zens agree with this plan or not
it's Justice must be admitted and /
is well to listen to their argument
and reckon with a force of no meal
and growing proportions.
What we want to impress IS
better acquaintance. The spirit o
the day is for a better understand
ing and healthier relationship be
tween the town and the country. b
this, we Of to-day can go far III bet

stress at Plymouth Rock or those
of strife when Lincoln introduced

that sense of gratitude, while stern
responsibilities create reverence for
the Sources Of Power.
At Christian worship, around the
table of family reunion or afoot
with Nature, in giving thanks in
individual way, is it not well to
take reckoning whether with the en-
joyment of what we have given us,
we have taken our full responsible
ity toward men and ideas? Is it
possible in the year to come, as
thoughts and good of material
worth come to us, to render a prac-
teal Thanksgiving by sharing
these with friend and stranger?

VOLUNTEER BAND.

The student Volunteer Band of
Alma college was somewhat ham
pered at the beginning of the school
year. owing TO the fact that over
half of their number were of the
graduating class and leaving college
last June. Nevertheless, those re-
naming were not discouraged and
have had several helpful meetings
and have recently welcomed a new
man to their number.
Miss Marjorie Melcher. one of the
travelling secretaries OF the Volunteer
movement, visited the Y. w. c. A.
and the Volunteer Band early in the
TALL and by her interviews with the
cabinet, missionary committee and
the Band itself, she was very helpful
and did much to encourage and in
struct the members in making the
Band and the missionary activities, as
a whole, success and showed very
clearly what the true place of mis-
sions in the college students life
should be.
There are six members and as three
of these will leave at the close OF this
year it has been deemed advisable to
elect officers now in order that they
may be better prepared to carry on
and advance the work next year. The
volunteers have done much personal
work and it is earnestly hoped that
this together with Miss Melcher's in
fuence and work while here may
bring many more members before
this year is over.
Just this last summer one of Alma's
former volunteers went as a mission
airy TO China. OF the two graduating
