FARMINCTON

The announcement of the appointment
of Frank Tumlin, Democrat, as post
master at Pennington, has created con-
siderable interest in this part of the
State, and at the same time has aroused
the ire of the many friends of Mrs.
Clara D. Hall. a widow, living at Farm
ington. who successfully passed a civil
service examination with the highest
average in a class of three and received
her appointment only to be deprived of
her well-earned efforts, through politi-
crl Vaccinations. All who read the
remarks by Postmaster General Burle-
son that merit would figure largely in
postOffice appointments, have considered
bringing the matter to his personal
attention, in justice to Mrs. Hall. Ow-
ing to the death of J. B. Simmons, who
was postmaster at Pennington, a civil
service examination was held at Har-
rington in February to fill the vacancy,
the pOstoffice being in the fourth-class
and netting the encumbent about $500
a year Mrs. Hall and Mr.. Tumlin
were two of the three candidates who
took the examination and all passed.
Later Mrs. Hall was notified that she
had high average of 91.15. Much to
her delight she was nOtifyed by the
POstOffice Department at Washington in
March of her appointment, and was in
structed to bond. This she did with a
Baltimore bonding company, paying 50
for the bond and sending it to Washing
ton. Confident that everything was
all right, the newly aDDOinted awaited
the arrival of her commission. She
waited in vain, politicians began their
work. and the result was the announce
nent last week of Mr.. Tumlin's appoint
nent. No charges were made against !
Mrs. Hall at to her uufitness for the |
place, and the announcement that Mr.. |
pumlin had been appointed came as a |
surprise to her and was a bitter dis
lpointment. Friends of the woman will |
AXE up the case.

DELAWARE COLLEGE
ENDOWMENT FUND

Delaware College is in the midst of
the most interesting developments in its
history of almost eighty years. The
new perpetual charter now goes into
effect, a direct appropriation from the
State of SIS, 900 for two years will soon
/ become available as income the COM
mission to superintend the building of
the affiliated college for women has been
appointed and an important movement
among the alumni for the raising of a
permanent endowment fund for $3.50, 900
is hopefully under way.
Perhaps the most significant of all
these interesting matters is the alumni
movement for the creation of a perma-
nent endowment. Never before have
the alumni undertaken to raise a consid-
cradle sum in aid of the college. There
are many reasons for this seeming in
difference upon the part of the alumni,
chief among, perhaps, the paralyzing
notion that an institution enjoying the
financial support of the State and Fed
eral Government has no need of private
friends. 1t is worth a great deal to have
that false notion exploded. Another
reason why there has hitherto been no
such concerted movement of the alumni
as is now in progress, is found in the
comparatively small body of graduates.
Up to 1859 the college was extremely
small. Then came a suspension of more
than a decade, followed by a period of
struggle and numerical weakness. Only
within the last fifteen or twenty years
has the alumni body grown more rapidly
in numbers and there are undoubtedly
far more living graduates and former
students of the college than at any other
previous time in its history. Further
more. the graduates of Delaware Col
lege are sharing as never before the
prosperity of the country, so that there
are more of them able to give to the in
stitution than at any previous time, and
more of them awake to the fact that
they owe their success in business life |
very largely to the training obtained in !
their college course.
The active canvass of the alumni En-
dowment fund for $3.50, 900 has just be- |
gun, and quite substantial sums have !
already been subscribed. The alumni !
committee is made up of H. Rodney |
Sharp, chairman, du Pont Building, Will
mingtOn, Del, the Hon. Victor B.
Woolley, T. Bayard Heisel, Hugh M.
Morris and Charles w. Bush.
1t has been suggested that since tut
tion is free to all residents of Delaware,
and the charge for others is $50 per
year, every alumnus who has had the
privilege of free tuition should feel that
sooner or later, he should turn into the
funds of the college the S240, which that
privilege really represents, and thus aid
the college to extend the privilege to
another Delawarean.
AS to those alumni, who had paid tut
Iion doubtless many of them will feel
that what Delaware College has given
Milford chronicle., 1913-04-25

them was worth far more than it cost,
and will be inclined to give the endow-
ment fund in proportion to their needs.
The fund in question is intended to
yield an income available for admins
trative purposes. So narrow are the
means of the college available for such
purposes, that executive expenses are
met with difficulty, and the work of the
institution is crippled by the necessity
of keeping such expenses to the lowest
possible point. A proper endowment
fund will mean the possibility of reliev-
ing the president from the work of in
struction, affording him needed clerical
and other aid, providing for his travel
ing expenses so he may visit all parts
of the State at frequent intervals, pre-
sent the advantages of the college to
those who should know about them, and
promote closer relations between the
college and preparatory schools.

GLENDALE

AS we sit in an old barn, writing by
the light of lantern from the head of
barrel, will relate to my many sympa-
thetic friends and readers ofthe Chronicle
my narrowing experience, for I am de-
prived of my luxurious and happy home
and turned out to again battle with the
cold world in poverty and obstruction,
with a sick and nervous wife and pros
trate daughter who are dependent on
! the most generous and Open-hearted
neighbors that God ever gave the world.
On Sunday morning about ten O'Clock,
while enjoying every luxury that a mod
ern home could afford, surrounded by
friends and neighbors, an alarm of FIRE
from excited neighbors astonished US.
Before anything could be done the high
wind had swept the flames through the
roof like basket of chips. The roof was
falling in upon us and no one could climb
the stairway so that but few articles of
furniture could be saved. In fifteen min
utes only the chimney and foundation of
my beautiful home was left. To realize
that we are homeless, without food, cloth
ing, bed or bedding is an experience to
rack the nerve and mental strength of
anyone. To be transformed from the in
dependent spirit to the spirit Of helpless
ness and poverty is a calamity indeed,
but we still have a proud spirit, strong
hands and a willing heart and will start
again in life with hope aud strong cour
age. We were unfortunate in having no
insurance. My stock and farming imple-
ments are safe and will be sold at public
sale as is advertised in this paper. We
hope our friends will give US their atten-
ton and help on that day, and buy our
goods that we may be able to build an
other home
On Monday FIRE caught in the woods +!
near town belonging to Will Fisher and
much fine timber was destroyed.

home of William Workman when a little
