PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS

The meeting of Council on Mon
day night next should prove inter-
esting. Reports Of special commit
tees appointed at last meeting will
be heard. The committee on ways
and means Of placing all overhead
wires underground have some in
teresting data to present.
DR.. Frazer, who has this matter
in charge, is an enthusiastic sup
porter of the idea and will lend
his effort toward the establishment
of this improvement.
Practically every citizen whom
we have spoken to, is in favor of
the movement. 1t is hoped that
Council will take immediate steps
so that when the digging begins on
the streets conduits can be put
in at the same time. Also all the
time possible should be given the
public service companies now u.s.
ing the poles that they could make
necessary preparations to be in
readiness at the convenient time.
Another matter to be brought up
is that Of building ordinance.
Considerable talk has been floating
around and lots of folks got "het
up" over this suggestion. AS the
Ledger well put it, "A tempest in
a teapot" the talk has lacked
sense of reason. The fault Of i'll
constructed houses, which detract
from the Town Beautiful, lies in
the last analysis with Council. The
question at issue is not what has
been done (that is only illustra-
tive) but what can, in the future,
be avoided. BY the adoption of
sane, reasonable Building Law, we
are assured that future buildings
will be in keeping with the pro-
gress of the town. Newark has no
need for an ordinance, compelling
all construction to be on the park
type, but by, not only one, but
many examples. we do need law
based on reason and common sense
propriety. If Council wants to re-
adjust building lines and condemn
properties, we should render our
hearty support.
Suggestive of this. we point to
the livery stable on the Post prop
erty on South College avenue, a
most unsightly shack at the main
approach to the town. Whenever
Council becomes imbued with the
idea Of the Town Beautiful and
condemns this property, it will be
razed without murmur. It is
the only thing we could do, to be
consistent with our policy.
This statement is made in reply
t. those critics who take exception
to our advocacy Of the building Or
dinance. Those buildings were not
placed there by us but purchased
with the property and, conceit,
perhaps prompts us to say we
would never be guilty of such con-
struction in the Newark of today.

As Written By One All "Het

Editor Newark Post,
Nv Dear Sir:

Editor Newark Post,
My Dear Sir:
Since the so-called Ministerial
Association has had so much to say
on the subject Of playing cards for
prizes, l would like to ask this au-
gust body through the columns Of
your progressive paper, What is
the difference between playing
cards for prizes and playing games
(of various kinds) for prizes?
If the prize is the "bete noir,'
surely then al games in which
prizes figure should be included in
their condemnation and not all the
blame put upon the poor cards;
they seem to make a distinction
without a difference.
As their attack seems to be di-
rected mainly at the two card
clubs, where occasionally a trifing
prize is offered and whose members
have long since cut their eye teeth,
let me suggest that these "good
men, turn their attention to the
pernicious pool rooms which thrive
in this town and where those of
immature minds are nightly
frequenters.
In conclusion let me add, that
prizes were offered in games (not
card) at a Faculty Club meeting
and one of the prizes was not only
won but accepted by the wife of a
member of the Ministerial AssOcia-
ton.
Truly, be it said Consistency,
thou art a jewel. -.

SUMMER SCHOOL

Only few months ago, the idea
of a Summer Shcool for Teachers
at Delaware College was scoffed at ;
today it is recognized as perma-
nent and well-founded institution.
Predictions of failure have now
reached recognition Of unusual sue
cess. College professors and teach
ers alike are loud in their praise Of
the work done, assured that the in
fiuence for good cannot be reckon
ed. Aside from the actual work ac-
complished, feeling Of relation
ship has been engendered and a
heartier cooperation established.
The College knows better than
ever before the need Of the State
and by this five weeks association
with the teachers can more effect
lively render theservice which it is
intended and well fitted to per-
form. On the other side, the teach
ers appreciate the State institu-
ton and have seen by linking
themselves with the upward trend,
they can also be of more and better
service to tn community in which
their profession makes them right
full and recognized leaders. The
College has more appreciation of
the teachers of our public schools
while the teachers have recognized
more truly the dignity and respon-
sibility of their profession.
The success of the School this
year is remarkable considering the
short time in which DR.. Harter had
to arrange the course Of study and
many other details necessary to
the establishing of such an insti-
tuition. With an enrolment of
over l60, and unanimous express
sion of enthusiastic approval of
and appreciation of the work ac-
complished we may well look with
confidence to the future of our
School System in Delaware.

"Bibbleson is one of the most i'm
practical men l ever met. He is al
ways doing some foolish thing"
Yes, | saw him last night when
he was doing a very foolish thing. He
had a party of people at one of the
hotels and seemed to be trying to find
out just how much wine it would be
possible to buy without causing a
famine"
Not long ago he decided to obviate
the necessity of hunting for the key
hole when he got home at night, so he
hired a mechanic to go to his house
and put in an electric device that
would cause the front door to open
when one stepped upon a certain spot
on the porch"
Didn't it work."
oh, yes. it worked all right, but
the trouble was that Bibbleson never
went home sober enough to step on
the spot any easier than he could
ind the keyhole."
