Arthur J. Sturgis, of the clothing firm
of S. N. Culver & Company, will be mar
ried on Feb. .uary 28 to Miss Maud Hall

wedding trip, Mr. and Mrs. Sturgis will
reside in Delmar.
Miss Maude Hayman arrived home on
Thursday from Albuquerque, New Mexi-
co, where she went with the hope of be-
ing cured of tuberculosis She stood the
long trip to Delaware well, anditis hoped
that she will yet improve. Her brother
in-law, Claude R. Phillips, went to New
Mexico after her, and accompanied her
home.
After March l, the Pennsylvania rail
road mileage books will not be accepted
for passage over the New York, Philadel-
phia and Norfolk railroad between Delmar
and Norfolk. This will be decided in
convenience to the hundreds of travelling
men who use both roads.
United States Senator Henry A du-
Pont has favored his constituents in his
section with the annual distribution OF
garden seeds The collection this year
consists mainly of lima beans, radishes
and lettuce.
H. Lester Marvil, a former Delmar
citizen, now located in Georgia, writes
home that they have had very little cold
weather in the South this winter. They
enjoyed fresh Strawberries in; Georgia
last week. Men have been going coat
less most all winter. A Georgia farmer
has gathered four crops from his land
within the last year and most of them
gather three without any effort, he says.
The First National Bank of Delmar,
is not affected by the recent order of the
comptroller of the currency to the effect
that national banks must confne their
directors to residents of the town in
which the bank is located. Ali of the
directors of the local bank are Delmar
residents.
A number of car inspectors have been
transferred to an office built for their use
about mile south of the depot Many
of the freight trains are now stored in
the new yard located there, and it will
be the duty of these inspectors to look
after freight trains only.

were postponed.
When the cases of Jackson Poore and
Leroy Jones, both of near Harrington.
came to trial for the highway robbery
of Arthur Holden, it was discovered
that the plaintiff had himself skipped.
He was recently indicted for the unlaw-
ful sale of liquor. A forthwith capias
was issued.
Robert Jacobs, the Milford negro who
was held on the charge of assaulting a
small child, was released without an in
dictment. 1t is stated that the state
considered the evidence on which they
based their case as very weak.
Henry Flamer, charged with enticing
away his young gsister-in-law and assault
ing her, appeared with his bondsmen
and filed the necessary affidavit for a
continuance of the case. The reason
given for wanting a continuance was
that material witness could not be OBJ
tanned at this time. The case will come
up at the April term of court.
William Breckinbridge, who proved to
the satisfaction of the court previous
good reputation, and his first Offense,
was given two months Imprisonment in

governor to call a special session of the
Legislature to give him authority to ex-
tend his boulevard to Delmar. There
was much rivarly between Delmar and
Selbyville last year as to which should
be the southern terminus of the boulevard
and local citizens were disappointed when
it was decided that it would be built to
Selbyville.
There is no doubt but that the promi-
nent people of this community are heartily
in favor of the boulevard and will do all
they can to get it built here. The people
of Salisbury are all anxious that the
boulevard should be extened to Delmar,
and have said that they would build a
road from Salisbury to Delmar, distance
of six miles, to connect with du Pont
boulevard.

held in Wilmington last week, it
was shown by one plan that by
another college, installing
instructors in the new
buildings and at the same time util-
ize the present corps of instructors
now at Delaware College, the State
could work out the problem and
pay no more money annually than
we are now paying to Normal
Schools in other states to educate
limited number of persons each
year. Of course the buildings
would have to be built either by a
bond issue, or some other expendi-
ture of the public money. We can
see no reason why all the institu-
tions of learning should be located
at the smallest end of Delaware.
Why not erect the building at
Milford or even Dover? New Cas-
tie county has even the insane
asylum and the workhouse, so let
the lower counties have an oppOr-
tunity to educate our girls without
sending them away off into the
little neck of the State.

THE more we think over the ques-
tiOn, the less reason we can dis
cover why objection should be made
against the recall and referendum
in Delaware. It would work no
hardship to any official capable of
discharging the duties of his Office,
and if the official were not compe-
tent, he should be recalled any
way. The people after all gener-
ally play fair, and the man who
performs the duty assigned to him
need have no fear of recall vote.

CHRONICLE WELL LIKED.

We were in receipt of another letter
recently from George c. Fields of New
York State, and the letter voices this
opinion of many of our readers who
daily write US of their regards for the
Chronicle. The letter follows
Port Chester, N. Y. Jan. 80, 1912.
Milford Chronicle, Milford, Del.
Gentlemen Enclosed fined $1.O0
for renewal of my subscription to the
Chronicle. Your paper is fine. 1t has

going on in both Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties. Sometime may be a resident in

Milford chronicle., 1912-02-23

THE fact is pressed home in
Kent and Sussex counties more
and more each year, that the man
agement of our public roads must
be taken out of the hands of the
levy courts, and be placed into a
Department of roads, which shall
be under the direct control of a
competent road building, engineer.
The money to be expended for
building roads should be appor-
toned to the various districts, and
theonly part the Levy Court should
have in the entire work is to fix the
amount of taxes to be levied, see
that they are collected,an that the
money is properly expended by the
Department of Roads. That de-
partment should be compelled to
maintain throughout the entire year
experienced men, with sufficient
machinery and teams to do the
work we'll and promptly, after plans
made and given to them in blue
print form, and have it understood,
that any failure to make good will
be followed by instant dismissal
from that departments employ.
Then the taxpayers will see prac-
teal results from their money ex-
pended, and the annual spring thaw
of roads will have no terror for
those who use the highways. Take
the roads out of politics, by taking
them away from the levy courts,
and get results in your own favor.

A cordial invitation is extended to the
public to attend this meeting.
The Association of Principals and High
School Teachers of Delaware at its sec
ond annual meeting again desires to urge
upon the intelligent citizenship of this
State, and especially upon the Board of
Education, the absolute necessity of
granting a fair and reasonable method of
certifying teachers, if the best interests
of our schools are to be conserved.
We herewith reaffirm our belief in the
justice of the following propositions as
stated at our last annual meeting.
First, That permanent certificates
should be granted to teachers who have
held the fve-year certificate and who
have taught ten years;
Second, That the permanent certif
Gates of other States be accepted at their
face value in Delaware;
Third, That college and normal school
graduates of successful experience be
permanently certified
Fourth, That properly protected per
manent certificate be issued by State law
available to all, irrespective of scholastic
advantages, who have qualified them
selves for the same.
This Association further declares that
in its Judgment permanent certificates
,an be revoked only for lapse in charac-
.er or because of incompetency, and that
10 certificate requiring periodic exanina-
ions to insure its validity is permanent
n the sense in which that term is used
IL intelligent educational circles.
We ask the State Board and all other
PERSONS interested in public education in
Delaware to cooperate with us in our
forts to secure from the next Legisla-
ure certifying law that will embody
he above propositions and that will give
he teachers of Delaware the same status
njoyed by the teachers in nearly every
ther progressive State in the union

LABOR generally all over Della
ware and Maryland has had to have
an increase in pay,and the farmers
have felt this item in the past, but
they must reconcile themselves to
the fact that labor will be yet higher,
and never lower, just in proportion
as the values of other things in
crease. Farm labor is performed
more economically today than it
was in the last part of the century
Just gone. Machinery has made
this possible, and machinery will
make more advancement in the fu-
ture, but the farmers must advance
with the appliances. His brain
must be capable of evolving new
methods of farming, of planting, Of
saving seeds, of rotation of crops
and of soil economy. These are
the things which enter into the
problem of successful farming. Ed
is only a means to an end.
Business enterprise, industry and
close application must be combined
to bring success.

HIGHER education for our wo-
men has interested the people of
Wilmington so far as to have meet
ings for the discussions of the plans
as to how this greatly needed pub
lie school branch of our educa-
tional system can be worked out.
It seems that the Trustees of Della
ware College are not in sympathy
with the suggestion to have CO.
education again established at that
institution, but the general public
are willing to hear any suggestion,
Just so the advantage Of higher ed
ucation for our women is made an

you know that is not so" He said,
''Yes, it is so; but / tell you what we
