AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GOOD

The recent action of the grad
uates of the Newark High School
in forming an Alumni Association
is worthy of more than casual at
tention. Last years class, we are
informed, stands sponsor for the
idea and in setting i'll motion such
an organization, they have builded
well, If a spirit OF cooperation
can be aroused, the possibilities
can be on first thought, scarcely
reckoned In the adoption of the
Constitution and Bylaws, there
appears motives for real successful
work. Aside from the purely So
cial side, which we III no way de-
sire to underestimate, the Constitu-
ton outlines a campaign for IN
dividual culture by acquiring a
habit for the reading of the better
kind of literature. This in itself
is sufficient motive for the organi-
zation. All of us are too prone, III
this day Of best sellers, to neglect
the gems of our own and English
writings. SO called Summer read
ing, requiring neither thought nor
effort, is extending too far into our
lives and is robbing us of the books
worth while.
Most promising Of the work of
this new organization is the at
tempt to make the Public School
the Civic Center of the community.
This idea which is being successful
ly tried out in many parts of the
country. is really "a revival of the
old New England Town Meeting.
1t is the common meeting place for
the citizen, whatever his wealth or
station. Our society today is diVid-
ed more than ever before by social
and denominational lines. This IS
inevitable in any growing commun-
ity. But there are interests com
mon to all, rich and poor alike.
The Public School Building is
the logical place for discussion OF
community interests. Here every
citizen irrespective of creed or sta
ton can come and feel personal in
terest. In this age Of business ad-
vancemeut with our variant attrac-
tions. we have lost something. Al
though our development, III its ra-
pidity, is the wonder Of history. we
are beginning to see lack OF un-
derstanding that was dominant
feature of the life Of the commUn-
ity, a generation or 50 ago.
Comparative studies show this
defect of our community life, to-
day. to be the lack of this common
civic center. To establish this, i'll
small way, is. we understand, one
of the objects Of this new organiza-
ton. The idea is fraught with un-
told possibilities. 1t means work.
1t means cooperation with no lag
eing of enthusiasm but the oppor-
tunity is here to serve well the com
munity and from no source can 1t
come with true American spirit as
from the graduates of our Public
Schools.
Sociability, Self Culture and De-
velopment of the Civic Center
worthy all. We wish you well.

TO TIE FOOTBALL TEAM
Meant For A Word Of Cheer

Sportsmanship first. That S the
absolute essential and you Della
ware boys have that. A manly
game, a play to win, hard fight
that s the game. Win? Yes. if you
can. But so long as you play the
game as you have so far, we should
be ashamed of ourselves, as we are
of others, if we criticised. f there s
any thing that gets on our nerve,
it S this: To hear some weak -kneed
Silk Stocking who doesn't know a
forward pass from a punt, to criti-
else his own institution, flesh and
blood as it were, when they fail to
run a score. He can sit back in a
car, and curl cigarette smoke heav-
onward and map out all the tricks
to defeat visiting team. Usually
he doesn't know enough about
Athletics to know what to say if he
stubs his toe-yet he can assume
that air a la supreme and discuss
any thing from the size of Ty
Cobb's ankle to the proportionate
curve Of horse trough which in
his youth was his foot tub, used at
the weekend.
We like to see a winning team.
of course. But the game S the thing
and Delaware has a reputation for
clean craftsmanship worth a series
of touch downs the length of the
State.
When we see a game like last
Saturdays we feel like saying.
" Good boy, you held 'em down.
You came near lickin 'em and did
Mt. Hard luck, old man. Great
game though, so get 'em next Sat
urday. We are with you"
No Benzine Artist is qualified 10
criticise, so don t mind him. And
any Delaware Boy or Man who
cusses the team, playing a clean
game,-well, he s no sport and has
disqualified himself. Hell never
wear the Cd" with our vote. Don t
mind the slim ankled critic. He
doesn t count. If our support
means anything, it's yours. Go

Working Out a Plan.

Il understand that there is a possi-

get our respective counties to put up
two dollars against every one that we
get from the state. / understand that
Latah county will be aDportioned
about $4,000, which would mean that
we would have something like $4,000
to spend on a state highway, if we can
get the county to put up their $4,000.
We are going to make a hard fight to
have the county take the step and I
presume that you fellows are doing
the same. In case we succeed we
ought to work in harmony as to the
route of the highway, in order that We
all get the most good out of it | think
1t would be good idea for our good

as we know just how much money we
