Only a short time back there was
a general hue and cry about tuber-
culosis at the workhouse at Green
bank, and claims that the prisoners
were infected and dying from this
disease, but for some reason there
is not even a ripple upon the serene
minds of those who were so anxious
to have that institution investigated.
Either the alleged conditions have
been corrected and the afflicted
cured, or the public mind has lost
interest in what should be a vital
subject connected with the work
house management. Probably much
of the agitation along this line was
the result of hysterical statements,
and a normal condition now pre-
walls.

That there are many children
who simply can not memorize the
instruction they receive in the
schools, no one familiar with the
actual conditions will deny, but it
is also true, that the same children
when shown actual work, or visual
object lessons of the same subject
taught by verbal instruction, they
are capable of understanding, and
even able to instruct others as to
the knowledge of facts. This we'll
known fact has caused the great in
ventOr, Thomas A. Edison, to spend
millions of money and years Of his
time to develop a system by which
the moving picture films can be
made one of the greatest of educa-
tional factors in the public schools.
We believe in this idea firmly, and
from personal experience have seen
it demonstrated in a crude way. In
a few years hence all the large
schools will be using moving pic
ture films as part of the process Of
the children.

Thy City Of Wilmington seems
to have the opportunity to get some
thing for nothing a condition which
seldom comes to a municipality, bv
having the Federal Government
pump the dredged material from the
Delaware River channel into the
marsh and shallow water along the
river front. This will require the
completion Of a bulkhead which
was startf d several years ago by the
United States, but which was stop
ped by reason that private parties
would have received all the land so
made from the dredged materials.
Now when the city is made the
beneficiary to the extent of nearly
two thousand feet of river front.
and a wide boulevard to the land
from the present city front, there is
howl sent up that the city is be-
ing robbed and private parties will
make millions 1t is ever thus when
any public improvement is made;
there is always some one to object.
Wilmington will be the beneficiary
if the new built land does 90 into
private hands, as the taxable prop
erty will bring revenue to the city.
and produce cash where nothing is
coming in now, and would not for
a hundred years. A river front
though will not build Wilmington |
1t will be a benefit of course, but
until the railroads see the advantage
Of exploiting the river front of that
city, its development will be slow.
But now is the golden time to get
he front on the Delaware.

ALL kinds Of arguments have
been made as to why President Taft
should be renOminated, but the sit
uatiOn has been sized up in a con-
crete way which is clear and under
standable in the following article by
Jake Sykes, of Jefferson county,
Pa. He thinks that the country
should stand by Roosevelt and
nominate Taft"
1T is like this he said, "and
you can't get around it. Roosevelt
knows what to do when in a box.
They got him in a snarl in the
PHILIPPINES, but he knew what to do;
he sent Taft out, and Taft fixed it
up nicely. Then things went wrong
in Cuba, and Teddy sent Taft down
and he smoothed it out. T. R. stole
a piece of land about Panama, and
he wanted folks to think he got it
honestly, and he sent Taft down.
Taft fixed it up until it looked half
decent. Roosevelt was President
and he got the Republican party and
the country in mess, and he put
his man Taft in to fix this, too, and
it is devil of an undertaking, and |
no fellow could get through with it |
under eight years, so think We
ought to stick to Teddy and give
his man Taft four more years to
finish the Job"

The hearing of the appeal in the
boulevard case before the Judges
sitting as a Supreme Court has been
set for June 18th next, when the
constitutionality of the law will be
passed upon. Delaware would re-
ceive fully twenty thousand dollars
this summer and fall from tourists
alone if the boulevard were com
pleted now, and the farmers them
selves would be hauling their pro-
duce to market independent of the
MISUNDERSTANDING freight trains,
and thus saving thousands of dol
lars for themselves by the loss re-
from fast freight" trains
getting in to city markets after the
market hours were over. Nine peo-
pie out of ten in lower Delaware
believe the most serious opposition
to the construction of this splendid |
road, comes from those interested |
in the Delaware Railroad. How far
hey may be right, or wrong, will
not be made public.
