Humorist Gillian Pines
For Simple Life

A United Press dispatch from In
dianapolis, December 3, says:
Strickland Gillian has lust
moved to the city from Baltimore.
Nd, because he was tired of the
east and wanted to come back to
the democratic, understandable
middle west. The famous author
Of "Finnegan to Flanagan" says
he was tired of "being dressed
up"
"Why, I've gone weeks and
weeks, down east" he said, "with-
out having my shoes, coats, collar
or tie off, except when I went to
bed! l could not really go back to
barefoot times, or | should accum-
ulate far more blisters than bliss;
| can not go back to the shirt
sleeve twilight; | can not go and
arrange turning pole, made from
a dogwood handspike, laid in two
convenient forks of an apple tree,
and work at it in the twilight, or
some one would see me and spread
the glad tidings that l was nut.
"But there is the language and
the life of the middle west, where
[ was born, where | can understand
and be understood. Some people
don t belong east at all. | am one
Of them. | stayed down there be-
cause | was stubborn. l stayed in
city that didn't need me, and
didn t want me, and | lived in the
best part Of it just to show what a
Hoosier-trained Buckeye product
could do if he dern pleased.
In all these years of sojourn in
the wilderness, l had a hard time
picking out companions who had
ever made lye soap, with a hopper
shaped like an inverted pyramid !;
who had ever taught a calf to drink
from bucket; who had ever slop-
ped the hogs, who had ever eaten
in the kitchen; who had ever man.
aged with one new store suit every
other year; who knew what it
meant to get stone bruise, ground
itch or a stumped toe; who had
ever bombarded bald hornets or
battled with bumblebees, or had
ever sat around a fireplace, with
fathers home-knit socks hanging
on the rung Of a chair and the
cream jar standing close by, with
mother turning it now and then,
so it would sour uniformly-how
did stand the lonliness? ? | didn It.
"How can such a man fit in and
content himself among a people
bred to formality and finger bowls
and bridge and pseudo politeness
and tuxedos and demi-tasses and
germans and hardwood floors and
daily baths?"

By order of
Fire Chief WILSON

justments in our relationships be,
fore this can be accomplished.
Let me repeat: We realize and
gratefully acknowledge the aid the
Grange has given in bringing Del
aware College up to it's present de-
gree of usefulness.
We of the College, your only in
stitution Of higher education, are
eager to enter into more harmon
ious relations with you in order
that it may render a greater and
more effective service. AS one who
is deeply interested in the highest
welfare of both the State and the
College, and who perhaps has a
slight appreciation of the possibili-
ties Of a closer inter-dependence
between them, | turn as | have
done before to the Grange for
help in solving this difficult prob
lem with the feeling that the Col
lege never needed your help more
than it does now.
With confidence in your assist
ance, l look forward with much
anticipation to the time when the
College will serve the whole State
in a larger and more efficient de-
gree than is possible under pre-
sent conditions.

My Creed

PRINTED by reQuest.)
Do not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness.
Speak approving, cheering words
while their ears can hear them, and
while their hearts can be thrilled
and made happier by them; the
kind things you mean to say when
they are gone, say before they go.
The flowers you mean to send for
their coffins, send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have
alabaster boxes laid away, full of
fragrant perfumes Of sympathy
and affection, which they intend to
break over my dead body, l would
rather they would bring them out
in my weary and troubled hours,
and open them, that l may be re-
freshed and cheered by them while
l need them. l would rather have
plain coffin without a flower, a
funeral without an eulogy, than a
life without the sweetness Of love
and sympathy. Let us learn to
anoint our friends beforehand for
their burial. Post mortem kindness
does not cheer the troubled spirit.
Flowers on the coffin cost no frag-
rance backward over ife's weary
WaV.

Agricultural Conditions
At Delaware College
Continued from page q

continued from page p
which we have come to look upon
as largely aesthetic out Of CONNER
cialism.
Another department of Exten-
sion is devoted to Civic and Local
Center development. It's aim is to
aid in such practical community
self organization as will make the
common business of citizenship the
subject matter Of an intelligently
planned, continuous, orderly, edu-
catiOnal process, and so to facili-
tate for each community the civic,
social, recreational-in the truest
sense educational - development
which should inhere in neighbor-
hood democracy. In this work the
University sends out its experts to
make addresses when asked, and
also to meet boards of education in
consultation besides sending speci-
fic information in answer to a
large number Of requests. Where
there is an expressed desire for
such service, this department of
extension aims to furnish the re-
suits Of the experience of other
communities engaged in this form
Of community self service which
has been centered in the school
house or other public building.
These are some Of the ways in
which our State College could serve
the State. 1t is not so much
question of ways and means as it
is a spirit Of service that should
permeate an institution supported
by State-Federal funds. There is
no reason why the campus Of the
College should not be extended to
the boundaries of the State, nor is
there any good reason why the men
and women in any part of the
State should not have as much
right to be helped in their work,
whatever it is, as the young per-
sons who may come to the College
to be prepared for their careers.
The conditions in Delaware diff
fer materially from those in Wis
consin and the methods that are
used by the University Of Wiscon-
sin to serve the people in that
State cannot be exactly followed
by Delaware College in rendering
service to it's constituents. That,
however, is not the point that
should be considered just now.
The important, and we may say,
the fundamental question is
whether the people and Delaware
College can render acceptable, eff
clent service to the State.
Your speaker feels that we are
suffering from the large number of
social and economic wastes that are
gong on year after year in our
State. We all admit that these
should be stopped, but l fear there

y. >. commissioner OF Education
| figured it out in an exclusive inter-
view with the United Press. And
that's why he wants teachers in
rural schools to be practical farm
ers, with a broad, practical sympa-
thy for little Johnny and Mary.
He outlined his plan for i'm
proving the rural education prob
lem as follows:
First, consolidate the proverbial
"little red schoolhouses" and pro-
vide more teachers.
Second, equip the country school
properly with an agricultural work
shop for vocational training, and
well-stocked library.
Third, give the teacher a home
with from five to fifty acres of land
for his own cultivation. Let him
have the products thereof, and
thus raise the wage of the country
teacher, and make country teach
ing an inducement to the men and
women Of trained minds, broad
sympathies, and practical agri-
cultural experiences.
Fourth, make the country teach
er's contract permanent-termin-
able only on bad behavior.
This summarizes DR.. Claxton s
views for improving the lot Of lit
tie Johnny and Mary out on the
farms. Moreover, it epitomizes,
for the first time, his plan for de-
velopment of rural education
the greatest Of present-day educa-
tional problems according to his
way Of thinking.
"Rural schools have had less
help than the city Schools" said
DR.. Claxton recently. "For that
reason they now need more atten-
ton than their metropolitan neigh
bors. Then, too, city education is
standardized. The supervisors,
teachers, and superintendent
high-salaried people-map out a
course Of study comparatively easy
to administer. But the country
districts have no such experts.
"Maybe in the rush of modern
life we have overlooked a little the
fact that the children of the farm
districts are human beings and
must be treated as such-and with
human interest. They are to be
citizens, and should learn about
democratic government. They are
to be farmers, and should have ag-
ricultural training, just as their
city brothers and sisters have COM
mercial and industrial training.
"And now we come to the prob
lem Of what these children at pre-
sent get. They must receive their
education in small school-houses
presided over, in most cases, by
young women in their early twen-
ties, and mostly without more than
a high school or common school
education.
"Instead, these children should
have teachers who will be able to
meet in large measure the defcien-
cies of country life. The rural
teacher must fill the place that
theatres, and special ed
ucational advantages give to the
city child.
But above all, the rural teach
er should have his own farm, pro-
vided by the community. In that
way, he can be Independent, and
can become power in the COM
while all the time receiving
a good income.
"Let us have broader, better
trained teachers for the rural dis
districts which are the
stronghold of the nation. Let us
use them as they should be used,
Newark post., 1913-12-31

and provide them with the proper
means of support in return for
special training, broad sympathy
and their great big work for hu-
manity."

FAVOR The NEW
MARRIAGE BILL

The proposed Ellison marriage law
was discussed at length at the meeting
Of the Ministerial Union IN First Pres
byterian church this morning. and it
was the unanimous opinion of all
those present that the proposed bill
would be a good law The ministers
thought the one thing needed in the
law for Wilmington more than any
thing else was publicity. They pointed
out the fact that all marriages. no
matter under what circumstances.
should be Immediately made public.
DR. George Edward Reed spoke in
favor of new bill but said that il
should be reasonable or Il would
stand little chance OF passing the
Legislature.
Mrs. Margaret Cranston and several
other women appeared before the

proposed constitutional amendment
giving the right of equal suffrage to
women in this state. The question
was discussed at length and reso-
luton adopted supporting the amend
ment and asking the legislature to
pass il.
