DR.. Wagner's
Work Commended

DR.. Charles A. Wagner, Della
ware State Commissioner of Edu-
cation, met with the three county
superintendent, Professors Carroll
Cross and Hardesty in Dover last
Friday, when plans were formu-
lated for carrying on the work Of
Teachers Training, as begun at the
Summer School for Teachers at
Delaware just closed. Each sup
erintendent is to meet the teachers
at various centers in the county and
make specific plans for carrying
out his purpose. ...
Of especial qualification to Del
awareans is the appreciation re-
ceived by DR.. Wagner from U. S.
Commissioner Of Education, Phil
ander p. Claxton, concerning a
book recently issued by the Della
ware Commissioner, on the atten-
dance throughout the State during
the last school year. The follow
ing is a quotation from DR.. Clax-
tons letter:
81 think you are going about a
very important matter in a very
effective way. | am especially in
terested to know that citizens and
clubs are studying this subject. If
we ever get the people to under,
stand what this means, conditions
will be improved. Every school
officer in the United States ought
to read this study Of yours. l am
wondering if your State Board OF
Education will print 1000 copies
to be sent to the county and town
ship superintendent and to some
of the city superintendents in the
United States"

Directory At This Office

That the Wilmington Chamber
Of Commerce is eXerting every ef-
fort to build up trade relations be-
tween the people Of this community
and their city has been demonstrate
ed in a new way. The office Of this
newspaper has received and now
has on file a copy Of the Whining
ton City Directory and Business
Gazetteer for 1914 which was sent
with the compliments Of the Cham
Der of Commerce. This valuable
business reference will be the per-
manent property Of this office, and
can be consulted by the public at
any time. 9.
The officers of the Chamber Of
Commerce report that they have re-
!ceived manifold assurances that
the people in this section would
trade with Wilmington more, that
is, would be in position both to sell
more to Wilmington and buy more
there, if they were better acquaint-
ed with the Wilmington business
houses. While trade excursions
and other functions have assisted
in the movement Of having the bus
mess men meet each other, still no
complete method has been yet de-
visd that gives assurance that the
people in different towns know all
the Wilmington dealers in partic-
ular lines with whom they might
establish both buying and selling
relations. 1t is to bridge this gap
that the Wilmington Chamber Of
Commerce has sent out a large
number of their city directories to
nearby towns. This directory is
now in this Office and can be con-
suited by any one who desires in
formation about business men in
Wilmington. The distribution Of
these handy business reference books
is calculated to promote the work
the Chamber of Commerce is en-
gagged in because it will enable the
local business mn to find out i'm
mediately what Wilmington firms
handle the articles they wish to sell
or purchase.

FARMERS
ORGANIZE
County Agent Outlines the
Work

Enthusiasm was certainly the
dominant feature of the first meet
ing of northern Pencader farmers,
who met at Welsh Tract school
house on Monday evening at the
call of County Agent Cooch. AL
though the weather was very
threatening, good crowd met Mr..
Cooch at his first meeting and
Judging from comments heard by
those present, there is every 2vl-
dence of hustling organization III
that section. The turn out OF the
farmers in Mr.. Cooch' s own home
district was very gratifying IN that
it displayed the confidence in which
he is held by his neighbors.
Mr.. Cooch gave a talk on the OBJ
iect of the work he has undertaken
with special emphasis on the CO.
operation of the farmers. He ex-
poets to assist in the organization
of farmers clubs throughout the
county. Where the Oranges are
strong and active, he will carry on
the work through them.
These clubs will take up at first
the purchase of fertilizers, seed,
lime, etc, and buy in lots at best
prices. Later on other questions
affecting the farmers, such as sell
ing crops, shipments, etc, will be
taken up.
The organization Of the club fol-
lowed with the following officers
elected:
