QUOTES X ON EDUCATION

Mr.. Editor: Isn't there mem
Der of the College Faculty or the
local Board Of Education who will
give his views on education? Mod
esty prompts Mr.. Washburn to
style himself as one of the common
people while Mrs. Dawson pleads
only as a housewife and mother.
Let's hear from these College
men. / know it s vacation but their
salary runs all the year. Where
are the champions (what s the fem,
inine for champion) of culture in
the New-Century Club?
AS spur to action, ! submit the
following quotation:
"There was an idea in the olden
time-and it is not yet dead-that
whoever was educated ought not to
work-that he should use his head
and not his hands. Graduates of
colleges were ashamed to be found
engaged in manual labor, in plow-
ing fields. in sowing or gathering
grain. To this manly kind Of in
dependence they preferred the gar.
ret and the precarious existence of
an unappreciated poet, borrowing
their money from their friends, and
their ideas from the dead.
"The educated regarded the use
full as degrading-they were will
ing to stain their souls to keep their
hands white.
"The object Of all education
should be to increase the usefulness
of man-usefulness to himself and
others. Every human being should
be taught that his first duty is to
take care of himself, and to be self
respecting he must be self-support-
ing. - ! f'F
''To live on the labor of others.
either by force which enslaves, or
by the cunning which robs, or by
borrowing or begging, is wholly
dishonorable Every man should
be taught some useful art. His
hands should be educated as well
as his head. He should be taught
to deal with Nlings as they are
with life as it is. This would give a
feeling of independence. which is
the firmest foundation Of honor or
character. Every man knowing
that he is useful admires himself. y

POLITICS

The recent announcements il
the political world have added
zest to the local State campaign
and the action of the Republican
convention Of nest Tuesday will
be watched with more han usual
interest. The ticket will be sup
ported or resented just in proper
tion to the personnel of the ticket
named and the clearness OF the
platform adopted.
Never in the history If the
party in this State has it been 50
vital that strong ticket be
named. No cand date should let
his personal ambitions stand in
the way of party success. In fact,
no true Republican whose name
has been mentioned us a candidate
will take any personal part in the
convention. Rather will he urge
simply an expression of the :iudg-
ment of the delegates and gladly
abide their decision. The at
tempt to pledge delegates to one
man at the sacrifice Of the whole
ticket and party success should be
strongly resented by the delegates
as it will be by the voters at large.
To date there is not enough pub
licity Of the actions of party work
ers. ESDecially is this true local
ly. Visitors at this office, who
take no active interest in politics
other than to Loyalty support the
ticket, are expressing dissatisfac-
ton at the silence on political mat
ters. Readers of The Post expect
to find local political news and
party leaders here would do well
for party success by consenting to
acquaint the voters with more de-
tails of the campaign.

EDUCATIONAL ARTICLES

The article on Education, by
Mr.. Washburn, in answer to Mrs.
Dawson, appearing in another col
umn, will likely bring out '!e-
Tense by others Of the cultural
trend. We join Mr.. Washburn in
our request that Mrs. Dawson give
III more detail the working Of the
Montessori method.
In the Peoples Column will be
noted a request for some of orr
professional educators to give
their views. With a wide discus
sion Of these educational matters
public opinion would be aroused.
And this is just what is needed
get the people to thinking.
Some of our High School teach
ers should take part in this discus
sion and add to the general good.
Throw away this modesty of not
wishing to appear in public print

REPUBLICAN AT SEA

Editor Newark Post, Dear Sir:
OF late years, in this representa-
tive district, both the Republican
and Democratic parties have nom
mated candidates for representa-
tive in the General Assembly
without any regard for their fit
ness, in fact seemingly in spite of
their untitness. This condition
should not continue to obtain; !;
men of force and ability must be
sent to Dover to secure for this
district the consideration to which
we are entitled, and to place be-
fore the Legislature in sympa-
thetic and just manner the needs
of Delaware College.
We assume that the Republican
partys will nominate, as usual, a
weak sister, and therefore the only:
hope left, is, that the Democrats
will make good selection Of their
candidate; for the immediate pres
ent, owing to the withdrawal of
Mr.. Hossinger, they seem to be
without one.
If the assumption as to the Re-
publican nominee may be accept
ed, the writer, as life long Re-
publican, suggests to the Demo-
Gratis of this district the name of
David G. Rose, as a broad minded,
aggressive. and able man, who
would represent us as we need to
be represented once again, and a
Democrat to whose support we
can guarantee fifty Republican
votes.
Mr.. Rose, if nominated. will 20
to Dover, and he will bring back to
this district what we are entitled
to receive. He is tried and true, a
worker and a leader.
We hope the better element will
control this nomination and nomi.

SOME SOUND POLITICAL ADVICE
Elitssial psessstsd by Pest reader

We do not presume to advise our
readers as to how they should vote,
that is, as to the person for whom
they should vote, or the party with
which they should be affiliated. We
have no hesitation in discussing at
the proper time the underlying
principles of government, but the
particular method of applying
these principles in either case is the
job of the reader and not ours. For
this he is responsible and not we.
None the less We think we are com.
petent, from long observation and
a good deal Of experience in dealing
with men, to make some suggestions
that will add to the peace of mind
of our readers and contribute tc
the public welfare. This advice
will be mainly in the form OF
"dont'a.''
Don't believe word you hear Of
read rejecting on the private lif'
OF any candidate from the presi
dent down. The story may possibl!
be true; but there is a strong pos
slbllty that ninety-nine times on

to investigate. We have made it
rule for nearly forty years to trea
