Oxford Fair Grounds
To Be Sold

Negotiations are in progress for
the sale of Oxford Fair Grounds to
Al. F. Wheeler, who will make
them his permanent winter quar-
ters for his show. The managers OF
the fair decided to sell the grounds
as debt against the agricultural as
sociation was becoming more OF a
burden each year. Mr.. Wheeler
has arranged to purchase all the
outstanding stock at the market
price and he will satisfy the mort"
gage and note against the Associa-
ton. In all the grounds will rep
resent an investment of about eight
thousand dollars, or at the rate OF
$40O an acre. The fair will be held
as usual each year, the association
renting the grounds from Mr.,
Wheeler for their exhibitions.

and afternoon when the first teach
ers institute was held. DR.. Charles
A. Wagner, state commissioner Of
education, opened the institute
with prayer.
County Superintendent Elmer L.
Cross welcomed the teachers and
said that during the coming year
several institutes would be held in
the rural schools. The New Castle
county teachers will meet in joint
institute with the Kent county
teachers in Dover on November II,
13 and IA. At the meeting it was
decided to have seats for all the
teachers reserved at the evening ses
sions when delightful entertain
ments will be given. DR.. Wagner
spoke on can educational ad-
vance. " In his address he spoke of
the school, church, home, news
papers and grangers as agencies
for good in the dissemination of
knowledge.
DIR. j. E. Carroll, county super
intendent of Kent county, also
spoke and expressed pleasure that
an institute is to be held in Dover.
DR.. Carroll spoke interestingly re-
garding the teaching of geography

general discussion took place over
the disposition of the money and it
was decided not to touch the money
at present.

day. Teachers who attend will be
given credit for one of the three
days allowed under the law.

School Funds Apportioned

The State Of Delaware, through
State Treasurer Hastings, has just
announced the amount of divi-
dens which the people Of Delaware
receive from their investments for
public school purposes, and the
consequent allotment of these mon
eys to the various counties and city
of Wilmington to help pay the ex-
penses Of conducting the public
schools.
The legislature appropriates an
nually from the general fund Of
the States treasury the sum Of
| $4,000. This is not apportioned
however, until the State Treas
urer gets in all the other rev.
enue set aside for this fund to car
ry on the shcools. All these rev.
enues have now been received, in
Guiding the dividends on the stock
of the Farmers Bank Of the State
of Delaware, Of which stock the
people of the State own fifty seven
per cent, the dividends from which
go automatically, by law, to this
school fund.
With all these revenues now in
and the $4,000 ready, the State
Treasurer found that he could
make the following apportionment
To the city of Wilmington, $3S,
500; rural New Castle county, $32,
212.92; Kent county, $3S,942.l1 }
Sussex county, $50, O,637.O9.
The amounts are arrived at after
deducting the amount spent for
text books by the various districts.
Without the textbook expense, the
fund would have been considerably
larger. The State furnishs free
text books, which is an additional
advantage derived from these wise
allotments of State funds, it is
claimed.
These county funds are deposit
ed in county banks in the various
counties and are there drawn by
each school district in proportion
to the number Of teachers the dis
tricts employ, the basis on which
the tSae awards the funds.
The allotment for each teacher is
$193. 1t was as high as $196 in
1911.

| Iize that the chance which the
child loses one day cannot be made
up the next day. The chance lost
today is lost forever. The next day
brings it's own chances, which, il
used to give the child the chance
he should have used yesterday, is
surely lost.
The school also loses if the child
is absent. A larger class is more
interesting than a smaller one; the
exchange of opinions and of ex.
periences is lost, and the class. the
school and the teacher will get the
reputation of failing to make pro.
gress.
The parents suffer serious loss
also, although they may think they
are saving money by keeping the
children at home to work. In the
first place, they lose the sense of
doing their duty and feel instead
the pricks of conscience for an un-
performed duty, for an unreadi-
ness and unwillingness to make sac
rifices for their children. In the
second place, their children will
fall behind in the competition of
life, and the parents will lose the
supreme happiness that comes from
seeing the children win places of
trust, of honor, of power, of lead
ership. Thus the few dollars saw
ed by the labor of the child are
sure to bring to the parents vain
regret and sorrow, disappointment
in their children and the cravings
Of remorse.
Ninety per cent of attendance
should be our aim. We cannot
make more meritorious or more
noteworthy advance this year, since
on this feature depends excellence
in all other matters. Let us begin
right now. Let us resolve, 1T
shall be DONE

Commissioner of Education.

LETTERS TO THE
PEOPLE OF DELAWARE

To the People Of the State of Della
ware:
The public schools Of our state
have now all opened for the year,
and will be open every legal school
day. Every child of school age
may there get the knowledge and
training that shall make him OF
her a useful, worthy man or wom-
an. The teachers are on hand daily
to direct these processes for the
best interests of the children and
of the community. We need now
to realize that there is part for
the homes to perform if the child
rem are to get the full benefit Of the
school, and if the community is to
get the full return for the money
spent on the school.
The teachers hope that this year
parents shall see to it that school
attendance is both regular and
punctual to a degree never reached
before. A united, determined eff
fort all over the state to make this
one gain is sure to succeed.
The child loses in several ways
by being absent from school. He
loses the lessons and the teaching
given while he is absent. This re-
suits in a loss of interest in the
work, and in loss of development
of his mind. From this experience
there will grow in the child's mind
the opinion that it does not mat
ter whether he is in school or out
Of school. The first two results are
sad, the last is a tragedy in the
child's life. Blame and reproach
are the certain portion Of parents
who permit the child to form such
an opinion or who would allow and
sometimes even encourage him to
act on it.
The presence of the child at
school every day in fit condition
for the work of the school will be
possible only when the parents rea-

Civil War Veterans
Observe Anniversary

Recalling the days when they
left Hare's Corner in response to
orders to go into service in the
Civil War, forty surviving veter-
ans Of the First Delaware Regiment
gathered around the "camp fire .
in the New Century, Club at
Smyrna and swapped war time
yarns Friday afternoon.
This followed an interesting fiji
teen minutes address by Governor
Charles r. Miller, during which he
referred in touching manner to
the thinning ranks Of the veterans
and congratulated the surviving
comrades Of the regiment upon
their having attained the tifty-sec-
ond anniversary Of the departure
from Hare's Corner, after having
SO CALAMITY, fearlessly and nobly
fought for their country's union.
The old heroes Of the First Della
ware formed the intimate acquaint-
ance of Governor Miller at the Get
tysburg reunion and his presence
served to more strongly bind the
tie Of comradeship between them.
In appreciation the veterans ten
dered him a reception in the Colon
ial Hotel.
1t was Just fifty-two years ago
that as gallant regiment of patri-
otic young men as ever departed
for the Civil War shouldered arms
at Hare's Corner, took cars to
Newport and went by steamer to
Baltimore, Nd, and then to Nor
folk, Va. AS their name indicates,
this regiment Of brave men were
among the first to enlist, and after
their short terms expired, most of
them re-enlisted and served during
the whole war. They saw service
on tn field at Gettysburg, and at
many other Of the most important
battles during the war. Their many
experiences were vividly painted IN
their minds by the reunion.
Captain Lewis, president OF the
organization of survivors, Captain
Smith, the secretary; Colonel Cav
anaugh and others took active part
in the celebration. After the re-
union a committee of residents Of
Smyrna gave the governor recep-
ton.

Commissioners Wagner
Visits Newark

Commissioner of Education Wag-
ner was College visitor on Fri
day of last week. DR.. Wagner is
already planning for the Summer
School next session.
During the last few weeks he has
been visiting the schools of Sussex
county. In speaking of the condi-
tions there, he expressed himself
well pleased with the outlook.
There seems to be growing en-
thusiasm on school questions. Es-
pecially is this true in improve
ment of the physical conditions.
Commissioner Wagner will visit
the New Castle county schools as
soon as the new county superinten-
dent has his work well in charge.

of the cities or towns in securing the
passage of the grant. He promised to
introduce franchises identical in their
terms with the ones that have recently
been granted in Hammond. East Chi

In Whiting.
Merchants Want 1t.
The Hammond merchants, who
realize that Hammond is at great dis
advantage as compared with Gary be-
cause there is interurban connec-
ton with the country towns to the
southwark are urging the passage of
the franchise. Gary has three interur-
ban, lines built In from the south, the
southeast and the east.
The small merchant is favoring the
plan for the reason that it will do away
with he free buss system that has CIV
en- the big stores the advantage and
the big tsores are in favor of the pro-
ject because the liability they face In
the event one OF those buses would go
into the ditch and kill dozen people
might ruin them.
The new line will also open up vast
areas of space for residential purposes
and thus from an economic view point
will be desirable. Andrew Reiner in
