HARMONY GRANGE REPLIES
TO PROFESSOR HAYWARD
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir:-Ycur issue of June II con-
tains a report by Prof. Harry Hay
ward, submitted to the Trustees of
Delaware College, saying: THE So
cia1 resources of Delaware are going
to waste No effort is being made to
develop them. The results are de-
plorable to those who are familiar
with the conditions of our public
schools. rural churches. and the lack
of any organized socety to take the
place of the old-fashioned lyceums.
The social agencies of the State are
in a general way, dying of dry rot,
and no hand is being lifted to save
them"
It would be we'll for Prof. Hayward
to take a day off and learn the facts
before he makes such erroneous
statements as he has made in that
report. There are IL churches in
Mill Creek hundred and 13 Sunday
schools. and each church has from
one to Ave social and literary organ
izations, a number of them with over
100 members holding regular meet
ings. with well-prepared program,
ably carried out: one Waverly club,
literary and social: also, four SUBJ
D. ordinate oranges, with a total men,
bership of nearly 400 with literary
programs at each meeting as we'll as
discussions OF many questions relat-
ing to the farmer and household, by
members speaking from actual ex-
perience, not theory.

as efficient as we want to make them
we do claim that they are on a par
with the city schools, at a much less
expense for management. Second
when the children from the rural
schools 60 to the Wilmington High
School. they enter classes with city
children of the same age. Further
we claim that the rural churches are
paving higher salaries and raising
more money for all causes than evei
before in their history: and further
s0 years ago during the day o
Avceums, when a certain rural churcl
organized their first Ladies' Aid So
ciety, a professor Of Delaware Col
lege had to sit beside the presiden

condition and the lyceums are thing
of the past. There are ladies by tn
score in the rural districts who cal
ably preside over a meeting withou
the aid of a professor from Delawar
College. and yet Prof Hayward say
the social agencies of the State ar
in a general way dying of dry rot
and no hand is being lifted to saw
them" We would suggest that h

The stormy weather did not dampcn the enthusiasm of the patrons If this house last evening. and each act re- ccived well deserved applause. Terry X Frank are presenting one of the most clever dancing turns that has visited us for some time. Introducing steps which are not only difficult. but very pleasing. the boys demonstrate their ability beyond all question Of a doubt LeRoy x Hall are offering something out of the general run of acts of similar character in their little act which they have termed Sis Hopkins and the Cir GUS Kinker. The action is interspcrsed with comedy and with contortion both of which are very good. It might be mentioned that during the contortion performance, barrels are extensively used instead of the ordinary table and chair. and the result is all that could be desired. Palakiki and Brother con tinue to win new friends with their musical offering, which is all class. They use guitars. but in manner all their own, playing the most difficult selections with the greatest of ease. Their program embraces classical com positions. and also the ever popular rag time. so that all are satisfied with the offering The movies are all of them excellent.
