DELMARVIA BOOSTERS

On Thursday, September the 4th
the Chamber of Commerce has ar
ranged for an automobile trip from
Wilmington to Dover. Invitations
are extended to everybody inter-
ested in progressive Delmarvia.
1t is predicted that over one hun
dred autos will pass through New
ark on that day. In fact, our
town will be one of the points of
interest enroute.
1t is hoped that Newark will re-
member the day and give our city
friends royal welcome.
The things necessary to develop
this peninsula are simply a better
and cooperation of
all sections. Let's do our part.

SPARE THE TREES

Cannot something be done before
it is too late to spare our trees?
Probably at no time in Newark s
history has there arisen the neces-
sity for intelligent supervision of
these old landmarks as at the pre-
sent time. The town is in the
midst of series of improvements
which mean the tearing up of our
streets, the relaying of crossings
and curbs, and consequently the
disturbing of the roots of trees.
When the concrete pavement was
laid few weeks ago on North Col
lege Avenue, a fine healthy maple,
young enough to promise many
years Of beauty and shade was dis
turbed in this way. 1t was neces-
sary in running the lines, and plac-
ing the fence, for the workmen to
chop away the roots. A dry spell
followed. Professional eyes watch
ed the tree and urged the simple
remedy - topping which would
hav saved it. The matter was
treated indifferently, and within a
month every limb of the tree was
covered with brown dead leaves.
The woodman came with his axe.
Nothing remains but an unsightIy
stump as the unhappy reminder of
the healthy young tree.
Along Main Street, east of the
Center railroad, similar tree
tragedy is in its beginning. The
curb on the south side of the street
has been Strengthened, and a
brick and stone gutter is being
laid. The workmen in order to
make room for the stone and bricks
have chopped away quantities of
the roots of trees and leaves have
already begun to fall from two of
them. Will not Council see that
they are saved? No Civic Commit
tee Of the future, however active
and enthusiastic they may be, will
be able to give to our streets, in
the lifetime of one generation, the
dignity and restfulness that flows
increasingly from this row Of beau
tiful trees.

can we'll claim out attention. Ideas
Of High School curricula are un-
dergoing startling changes. Just
what should be taught is command
ing the consideration of educators
all over the country. Shall the
High School prepare for or ape
the College, or shall it prepare for
life is just as much question in
Newark as elsewhere. A healthy
discussion of these questions would
go far toward increasing the eff
cheney of our schools here and our
children will benefit thereby in
generous proportion to the time we
give this subject. Newark should
have the leading High School of
the State. With the representa-
tive class Of citizens that make up
the body Of our taxpayers, we
should find an effective solution to
these problems.
Newark High School can better
serve the needs of this community
and it behooves every citizen to
grant a part of his thought and
time to effect this improvement.
period Of assessment is not pro-
Wholesale criticism only at the
ductive Of the greatest good. De-
liberate thought and attention dur
ing the school year will bring bet
ter results.
Success to the Schools this year
and let's do our part, too.

UNDERGROUND WIRES

At the meeting of Council on
next Monday evening it is prob
able that some action will be taken
on the question Of placing the tel
ephone and telegraph wires under
ground. At the last meeting the
chairman Of the committee having
this matter in charge reported that
the Telephone Company using this
territory will have a proposition to
make to Council.
The suggestion of placing the
wires underground has met with
almost unanimous favor and C0un-
ell will likely give the matter thor
Ougb consideration. Nothing the
town could do would so guarantee
the beauty of our streets as this
improvement. Aside from the un-
slightly appearance Of strung wires
all over town, the ruthless massa-
ere of trees for the convenience Of
telephone companies is a sad illus
tration of our interest in the town S
appearance.
Both of these defects can be cas-
lily remedied by Council. A de-
claration Of their position by ordi-
nance would be supported by our
whole citizenship.

SCHOOL QUESTION

During the last few weeks, there
has been considerable criticism of
the Public Schools, their manage
ment and lack Of efficiency. Some
of this criticism was based on facts
while some of it was mere conclu-
sions founded on prejudiced ru-
mors.
Now that the School year is
about to begin, we should like to
suggest that the widest publicity
be given to all the school activities.
The teachers are invited to COOP
crate in giving the news to the pub
lie. The New Century Club has
been asked to have visiting board
whose duty will be occasional Wis.,
its to the schools, with the idea of
making suggestions to the Board
for Improvements. This is a good
beginning. In addition to this,
we should like to see a similar CON-
mittee to make investigation of
the future needs of the schools
from financial point of view. AL
though the new building is barely
completed, it can be readily seen
that it is only a matter Of a few
years before additions will have to
be made. Rather than have this
come to us as an additional burden,
would it not be wise to have it
planned ahead just how these nee
essary improvements can b2 1inan-
ced.
Another matter of serious i'm
Dortance, that of course of study.

MARKET REFORM

A Farmers Market in fact as
well as in name. Such is the pleas
ing outlook of the investigation
now going on by the Chamber of
Commerce. We predict its success.
They have entered into the consid-
Grafton Of this subject as strictly
business proposition. Without
influence of politics or partisanship
they are apparently determined to
bring about square deal to the
farmer, realizing in that they will
best increase the efficiency of the
markets. 1.-The greatest good to
the greatest number is a pretty
healthy slogan for Chamber of
Commerce. And best of all, these
men have realized to bring that to
the maximum, Cooperation is the
big word. They are listening to the
farmers side as well as the Will
mington resident and he has given
them some startling facts worthy
of their consideration.
1t is gratifying, too, to see the at
titude Of the Wilmington papers.
Their recognition of conditions
and demand for an effective change
is meeting with more than ordinary
approval. Rural New Castle is TAX
ing recognition of this attitude and
to Wilmington now comes the op-
portunity to get the support and
cooperation of her rural neigh
bors, not only in this, but in the
whole campaign Of Delmarvia ad-
vancement.
1t is being contended that a strict
enforcement of the laws would be
sufficient to remedy all the existing
evils. If so, that is entirely salts
factory to every farmer in this
community. All that we ask is the
chance for the Delaware farmer
and in asking that, Wilmington
will receive the greater benefit.
We have no desire to bar the
farmer from neighDoring states
and any such Interpretation of our
attitude is directly contrary to the
facts. 1t would be not only ruin
GUS to the city of Wilmington but
directly at variance with the spirit
and practice Of plain American
citizenship. No one desires to dis
criminate against the border State
neighbors; but we do claim it rank
injustice to permit a condition
whereby these farmers can secure
a stand by illegal methods thus bar
ring the Delaware man who refuses
to take part in the practices exist
ing for several years.
1t matters nothing to us just
how it is done, whether by a 30 or
so day option for Delaware farm
ers, by separation or by extension
of market streets. The thing the
farmers want is the chance Of an
honest sale of their produce. The
instances cited where farmers have
been unable to secure stands are
by no means isolated. They can
be found all around this section
and many Of them have quit the
markets in disgust.
We are looking with keen inter-
est for the outcome. The Commit
tee in charge has won the conf
dence Of the rural folk and farm
ers can well prepare for restora-
ton of satisfactory conditions.
