Irrespective of environment, the
cloister of the Mount would have been
a delight to the eye, but, upheld in
mid air, with the sky so near and the
sands so far below, 1t seemed more an
inspiration of fancy than. work of

ored columns of granite appeared too
thin for tangible weight; the tympan's
sculptured designs, fanciful as the
carvings in some palace of a poets

successful financially and otherwise.
The students that expect to take
part in the intersehoIastic debates this
spring should begin to get busy There
is some splendid talent for these con
tests in the Vinita school and they
should organize and bring all honors
to their school Get together
The time is getting ripe for the agi-
tation for the track and field meet to
begin. This event should be brought
to Vinita this spring and the stu
dents will have to get busy and bring
it here This meet will not only be
a good thing for the school but will
bring a large number of out of town
visitors to the city. This is the proper
place for it and let's have it here. The
track athletes should also be getting
in trim to carry off everything this
year. Some larger schools may enter
and make this the deciding event of
the state.
The classes in music continue to
make splendid progress.
The mid-year examinations come the
last two days of this week. New
! classes are to be organized next Mon
day and so this will be an awful bad
time to flunk-you might join new
class.
The superintendent and faculty are
making hard fight on the mid-week
social functions among the students
They think that this is the cause OF
the poor work that a few have been
doing.
The basketball boys expect a hard
contest Friday night when they meet

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The students are beginning to take
interest in the success of their basket
ball teams and it is believed and hoped
that the lack of enthusiasm shown In
the last game with Neosho will never
be repeated. The association went sew
eral dollars in the hole on these con.
tests needlessly The students as a
body did practically no advertising per

the crowd that did attend. These

just as the football games did and
there are just as great honors at stake

"and at times, I could not bear to stand
on my feet. The doctor said would
never be any better. and that I would
have to have an operation, or would
have cancer

ated on me, but got no better. They
said medicines would do me no good,

corsets laced in moderation are not
only healthful, but a positive boon
to the gentler sex. j.,
While this may seem somewhat
foreign to the subject of card play
ing, it is, however, to show that IN
passing judgement upon anything
even on religious grounds, one
should go no further than st. Paul
went in enjoining moderation IN
all things. And playing cards for
club prizes, such as has been Gus
tomary in Newark, / earnestly
maintain is a harmless diversion
that in no way can affect detrimen-
tally the morals or the welfare OF
the community,

work which has too little place for
rational mental relaxation. The
Good Samaritan kind Of Christian
ity is often manifested by card
players and the men and women
who are the "salt of the earth, y
who promote practical religion, are
often good players when they meet
in social hours with others who
need relaxation.
The appeal Of the local clergy is
we'll enough, but it calls attention
to the fact that excessive card play
ing is much more frequently ofici-
ally condemned by the clergy than
is the forcing Of little children into
factories, the overworking and un-
derpaying Of women or the low
wages which the workers receive
and because of which they are fore
ed to live in unfit houses and see
their children lack proper cloth
ing and culture. However, many
Of the clergy are doing what they
individually can to improve socio-
logical conditions in minor re-
spects and, some Of the Newark
clergy having given condemna
ton Of excessive card playing, |
look forward to hearing at an early
date, from the same men, a warm
condemnation of the wrongs which
the employed class suffer.
In the meantime | call attention
to the fact that more people are be-
ing damned by having whole fam
lilies in factories, at incomes so
small becomes unlovely and vice
so attractive in comparison, than
by the excessive card playing which
is comparatively small evil after
all.

AFFILIATED COLLEGE

To counteract any effect that ru-
mors put out by a hard-death op-
position may have it is suggested
that the Affiliated College Commits
sion make public statement Civ
ing their opinion, whether the
buildings will be complete for the
fall term September 1914.
The bill provides for its COM
pletion at that time and we believe
that the Commission will make
every reasonable effort to comply
with these provisions. Of course,
it is admitted that some unfor-
seen difficulty might arise, prevent
ing this.
Repeated rumors have come to
us, saying that no one need take
the opening at that date seriously
We feel sure the Commission rec
ognizes very keenly their respon-
sibility and are jealous of their
reputation as men of affairs who
do things worth while. These ru-
mors, if persisted III portents max
ing some other preparation.
Illustrative Of our thought is
this: A girl graduate of last
June expected to spend this year
under a tutor, ready to enter Del
aware in 1914. Hearing this ru-
NOR, her parents Immediately be-
gan preparations leading to an
other college.
A statement from the Commits
sion would set at rest these rumOrs,
be they ignorant or malicious.

DR.. WAGNER

Aside from the many advan-
tages of the Sumemr School, here
tOfore reported, the introduction Of
DR.. Wgner, new State Commissions
er of Education, was of interesting
Importance to the teachers gather
ed here.
DR.. Wagner Immediately on his
appointment, came to Newark and
took up his work. He entered in
to the spirit Of the work, got ac-
quainted with the teachers and
rendered valuable service in the
success of the School. His enthus-
iasm for the work was contagious,
his quick grasp Of conditions and
appreciation Of the duties before
him stamp him as a man of the
hour in Delaware. Although too
early to pronounce judgement, it
is the generl impression here that
the Governor has served us well in
inducing DR.. Wagner to take up
this work.
Of one thing we are certain
that DR.. Wagner has made good in
his first impression and has, we be-
lieve, the loyal support Of those
teachers, who are working for pro-
gress and better things in Della
ware education.

With Corsets On Queen OF
Hearts Is Trumps
Editor Of The Post:

Editor Of The Post:
! am considerably interested in
a communication condemning card
playing for prizes which appeared
in the last issue of your paper. To
my mind the contentious of the
writer of that article are not war
ranted by facts. He has simply
drawn a vivid picture of excess,
highly imaginative and distorted
an example of Impressionist, or,
perhaps, the Cubist art. Following
the method of reasoning of the
writer one might argue against al
most anything in just the same
way. For instance, take corsets.
Corsets in themselves are harm
less things. They may, however,
be productive Of great harm. Cor
sets may be laced too tightly.
When they are thus laced, they
may cause permanent reformation
of the body. This reformation may
prove injurious to the progeny Of
the deformed. They may be weak
and unhealthy. Weak and un-
healthy people are detrimental to
the State. A state having detri-
mental subjects is thereby weaken
ed. Weak nations are easy prey to
stronger ones. Etc, etc.
There are, we all know, cases of
tight lacing, with minor injurious
effects. But they are the excep-
ton and comparatively few. Our
women are generally healthy, their
offspring are strong and vigorous,
and our race is one Of the hardest
in the world.
1t is perfectly natural and prop
er for the fair sex to court physical
as well as mental attractiveness.
Beauty and grace of form are not
to be despised. The small waist is
no longer considered attractive by
men. This the women know, and
consequently they eschew it. But
the graceful lines of a form moder-
ately supported by corsets are to
be admired. Corsets when proper
ly used cannot be condemned in
any way. Whence I contend that

Editors The Post:
| have no time to play cards, be-
ing busy with reading and my
work, with a little time for associa-
ton with my friends. But if |
could spare the time l would play
more or less. | learned in my home
where my father taught the child
rem so they could enjoy home life
and not be tempted to be away
evenings among bad company. My
conclusion, after extended observa-
ton, is that people who play cards
when they should be improving
their minds, or out of doors, would
not do anything if they quit cards
merely from a sense of duty, and
they might do worse. Like base
ball playing on Sunday, excessive
card playing, while not ideal, is
for the benefit of the public if
played where it will disturb no one
in the proper enjoyment of better
pursuits.
That amusement which is normal
to the individual indulging in it,
if itself not likely to increase the
sum of human misery, should be
let much alone until such time as
the individuals want something bet
ter. To drive card playing from
a comparatively empty life is to
empty basket of chips and make
room for serpents. The interfer-
with other peoples lives, when
they are not interfering with the
lives of the citizens about them, is
a task for a spiritual artist, and
there are few of these artists either
in or out of the churches.
The idea that card playing is a
bar to all Christian work is vener-
able but unsound. 1t interferes
only with that kind Of Christian
