New Life at Sag Harbor.

At the far end of Long island or
Gardeners bay, between Long Island
sound and the Atlantic ocean, lies the
old sea -faring town of Sag Harbor.
In this pleasant old village OF 5000
people, Mrs. Russell Sage lived when a
girl and now has summer home. Firm.
~ believing that the village life needed
quickening, she hit upon the idea OF
accomplishing this through organized rec
reation, and to this end created Masha.
shimuet park and social center.
An old horse-racing park was secured
on which athletic and recreation fields
were laid out and fieldhouse built.
The park also includes pond for skat-
ing, swimming and wading. A director
OF recreation with an assistant has been
provided by Mrs. Sage to organize and
promote the activities.
Space was set aside for children's gar
dens and a small library established at
the field house for those who cared to
read.
Among the activities conducted for
children of kindergarten age are story
telling, paper cutting, sand play, and
group games. For old people, moving
picture entertainments, dancing, social
picnics, a lecture and entertainment
course and band concerts have been ar
ranged. There is also tennis. baseball,
athletics, skating and public festivals in
which young and old participate. A
year round program is arranged. Sag
Harbor had no ice skating until a tide
gate was put into the outlet of this pond
so as to hold the water at fixed level
for freezing. Lights are installed dur
ing the skating season and band con-
certs given on the ice by the village
band.
The main hall of the town is used for
lectures, concerts and community
dances.
Another line of activity has been the
organization of special classes in num-
jects, as well as in English for foreign
ers.
The story of Mashashimuet park and
social center in land and good will is an
of how a rural environment,
which has come to be considered by
many handicap to one born and reared
in it, may be made interesting and at.
tractive. 1t is one of the influences
which it is expected will help to retard
a too early exodus from country to city
on the part of our present population
and an endeavor to so prepare country
boys that they will be able to win their
way anywhere without unlearning any
thing, 1t is one of the many ventures
which are aiding rural environment to
do its best work.-The Survey.

GOVERNOR SENDS MESSAGE
TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
REVIEWS STATES FINANCES AND IMPROVEMENTS
=. SPECIAL ATTENTION TO AGRICULTURE
AND EDUCATION

Printed below is the greater part
OF the Governor s message which is
well worthy of attention. A clear
resume of our State and Institu-
tions, with sane and clean cut rec
concentrations, it will meet with ap-
proval of those practically inter-
ested.
STATE FINANCES.
Our State has now become so
well established on firm financial
basis that the Legislature of nine
teen hundred and eleven did not
consider it necessary to authorize
the State Treasurer to issue notes
or certificates of Indebtedness for
the purpose of meeting the general
expenses of the State if the revenue
should not prove adequate, as was
done by the Legislature of nineteen
hundred and nine. Not only have
all Of the general expenses and ap-
preparations made by the LegisIa-
ture Of nineteen hundred and elev-
en- been fully paid, but the sum of
Twenty Thousand Dollars has been
invested in good securities by the
Sinking Fund Commission to be ap-
piled to the State Debt when the
bonds representing the same be-
come due, and the estimate of the
State Treasurer shows that there is
a balance in the Treasury to the
credit of the general fund amount
ing to about Ninety Thousand Dol
lars.
This shows unquestionably that
the financial affairs of the State
have been in good hands and should
be most gratifying to all of our cit
izens. You should not lose sight of
the fact, however, that our Treas
ury should be carefully guarded,

TO CONSIDER
COLLEGE CHARTER

A special meeting of the Board of
Trustees of Delaware College has
been called for Friday of this week,
for the consideration of the Col
lege Charter. Complying with a
resolution passed by the last Leg
islature, the State Board of Educa-
tion will at this session make a re-
port and recommendations leading
to IA permanent Charter for the Col
lege. The Board Of Education has
given the matter serious cOnsidera-
ton and by investigation has the
consensus of opinion of those ac-
quainted with conditions. A COM
mittee from the Board of Trustees
has met with the State Board and
the provisions of the bill have been
agreed upon. AT the meeting Of
the Board, which will consider the
matter with the Board of Educa-
ton, it is likely that the provisions
of the bill will be given the sane
ton of the Trustees after which the
bill will be drawn and presented
early in the session. Very little
doubt is expressed but that the
question of the Charter and the
Status of the College property will
be settled during the present scs-
sion.

lile improved stone roads in New
Castle county. The length of these
improved roads is 13S.47 miles. a
few OF which are still subject to
maintenance by the contractors for
one year from the date of their ac-
ceptance. The estimated length of
all OF the roads in this county is
l,0OO miles. Therefore, New Cas-
tie county has IA per cent of all it's
roads improved and passable at all
times OF the year.. This percentage
is exceeded by but few of the co,,n-
ties i'll the United States.
'Since the passage of the first
state good roads law in April, 1903
there has been expended in the
construction of these roads the sum
OF $l,2O6, IT'S, making an average
cost of $s,7l5 per mile.
"The county should commence
take care of the roads as soon as
they are finally accepted from the
contractor. They should immed-
lately repair any damage caused by
travel, weather conditions or other
wise. Moreover, they should pro-
vide against future damage by see
ing to the drainage. All of the
county roads should be in charge
of one official who has had exper-
lence in repairing and maintaining
roads. He should have the power
of employing or discharging the

FLAY REPEATED FOR

The High School students kindly
repeated their play at Lewisville,

4th. The hall was full and the en-
tertainment much enjoyed, espec-
tally the singing of Mrs. Murray

changes in the caste were made nee
essary, one owing to George Hol-
ton being in quarantine by dipther-
la in the family-and which was
very acceptably filled by Mrs. Muir

and only such appropriations made
as are necessary to adequately
meet the general expenses and the
progressive and growing demands
of people who are more active and
more awake to the possibilities of
the future than ever before in the
history of the State.
BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
The chief industry of our State,
especially of the two lower counties,
being agriculture, it is impossible
to give too much time and thought
to this important subject.
We have no more worthy or in
dependent citizens than our farm
ers. 70 them we are indebted for
much Of our happiness and COM
fort and the success Of the entire
country is dependent largely upon
their success. On account Of the
long hours and hard work which
farm life called for in the past,
many of the boys who were reared
on our Delaware farms drifted to
the cities and some of them are rec
ognized to-day as the leading men
Of the communities in which they
live. While this speaks well for
Delaware, yet we need our young
men to help develop our own State,
so that it may occupy as prominent
a position in the affairs of the ma
ton as possible.
The improved methods of farm
ing with various kinds of machin-
cry which have reduced it almost
to a science and many of the hard
ships have been eliminated. For
the past few years the Board of Ag-
riculture has been doing much to
better the conditions on the farm

which consisted of high heeled slip
pers, full founced skirt, and ker-
chief held by large miniature
brooch, with powdered hair fasten-
ed high with an immense tortoise
shell comb, and a ravishing curl
caressing one pink cheek, has re-
