VALUE OF
The GRADED
SCHOOL LESSON

The New Castle County Graded
Sunday School Union held a most en-
tertainnig meeting last evening IN
Grace NJ. r. Church, which was at
tended by many persons from other
churches, and also from outlying dis
tricts. Mrs w. d. HaddoclI. the
president. presided, and an interest
ing program was given Dr. George
y. Reed. conducted the devotional SER
vice. The Rev. c. 4. Wyatt, of Cam
bridge, Md, former pastor of the Har-
rison Street NJ. Il. Church, was the
guest of honor and the speaker Of
the evening. His subject was The
Value of Graded Work" He said
that the modern Sunday school move
mcnt began with Robert Rakes. who
hired teachers for twenty-five cents
day.
Active work. Dr. Wyatt said, was
begun with the International Sunday
school lessons in 1873. Sunday school
work is being accentuated at the
present day, and churches must re-
cognize the methods used in secular
schools. Mention was made by Dr.
Wyatt, of the Louisville convention
OF 1908, when a program was devised
to harmonize with secular education,
and different departments were es
tablished as follows: Beginners, fol
children under six years. represent
ing the imaginative age; primary
grades, for children from six to nine
years, dealing with desires, percep-
ton, aspirations and questions; jun
ior grades, for children from nine
to twelve years, dealing with the age
of curiosity, when the children be.
gin to want to know the why's and
wherefores of the different phases OF
life; the intermediate grades, for
those ranging in age from thirteen to
sixteen years. This age is a most
important one. DR.. Wyatt said and
the development of self reliance IS
iuost necessary. Sunday school work
was mentioned as being both evan
gelical and educational.
A splendid demonstration of pri-
mary grade teaching. was given by
Miss Grace Baird, who, with twenty
OF her pupils from West Presbyterian
Sunday school gave a model les
son which was splendid and showed
the careful training given by Miss
Baird,
Spiritual Teaching" was especially
emphasized by Miss Carrie Samuels
in her talk on Junior Grade Teach

turn out team that the college will

ton Is known all over the State, viii

unknown springs into the limellght
The prospects for the track team
are exceptionally bright and with the
fine new track to work on the men
will have no excuse for not being Ia
the best of shape As usual the col
lege will send a team to the Penn"
relay races and the coaches are al
ready figuring how they can bring
home the bacon.
With two athletes directing tho
team who hold three Delaware rec-
ords. the other team members will
have a good incentive to work hard.
William II Sawdon. the manager,
holds the Delaware record for SS0-
yard and One-mile runs. while w. M.
Schiller, captain OF the track team.
holds the pole vault record. which
he made last year. Sawdon made
both Of his records in 1911 at Muhlen-

outiielders in the Tri-State League last
year will be given a chance by Jack

recommended.
Thomas J. Thompson, an infelder,
has been recommended by Chick Hart
ley who says that the boy will be able
to hold down a position at third or
at short, and that unless Chick is sad
ly mistaken Thompson viii prove one
Of the finds OF the season.
James Robinson, a pitcher, who is
feet 2 inches tall and has all kinds
Of speed. will also be given a chance
to show what he has. Jackson says
that he thinks this boy will make
good
Jackson has succeeded in booking
the University of Pennsylvania team
for an exhibition game in this city on
April 23. The Chicks will play the u.
Of p team at Philadelphia on April %.
Unless someone else is signed and
who shows exceptional class. Manager
Bert Conn, the new leader of the
Trenton club for 1913, will cover the
initial corner
Conn said that he would undoubt-
edly play the first sack However
Conn made it clear that If he un-
earthed "a youngster who showed
enough class, he Conn would ster
aside for the young blood.
The Tiger captain will most likely
be seen on the infield at any rate. He
feels that he can direct his team much
better from the inheld than while
playing the outer gardens as he die
last season.
