Superintendent Scott Points
Out firing Effect OF Full
Day on Beginners
FIX TINE FOR LITTLE
ONES TO ENTER CLASS

The Board Of Education last night
acted upon two recommendations
made by superintendent Of Schools
Clifford j. Scott, regarding the en-
trance Of children into the schools
during their first term. In adopt
ing both recommendations the board
took occasion to express approval
and appreciation Of the suggestions.
Professor Scott explained that here
tofore it had been the custom for the
children 10 be six years old before
they could enter school and after
they had reached that age they could
enter no matter what part of the
year it might be. This. lie explained
allowed the children to enter any
week and greatly retarded the work
OF that term. He explained that
children have a certain amount of
work to cover the first term and If
they are not there during the entire
term they must of necessity fall be-
hond In their studies.
Professor Scott suggested that all
pupils who reach the age of years
before November be allowed to enter
school in Glass B-l, at the beginning
of the September term, and all chill
dren who reach that age by April
be allowed to enter that class at the
beginning Of the February term. whom
me children who entered in Septem-
Der are promoted to Glass A. This
would permit all the children to take
the entire course, and would facilitate
the work for them and the teachers.
- Ir
ter the school after the first two Weeks
OF the school, Mr.. Scott said. He call
ed attention to the fact that the Young
pupils who first enter school are hard
~ more than babies, and their entire
mode OF life is changed, and vet at
present they are compelled to remain
IN the school as many hours as the
older scholars of the seventh and
eighth grades.

Many Of the Delaware College stu
dents have been arriving in town
this week preparatory to the opening
Of college on Thursday. Examina-
tions will be held today and tomor-

but what the freshman class this
year will be the largest in the hib-
tory Of the institution Up until last
night the college officials had a list
of sixty-six young men who Will en-
ter Delaware this year and by the
end OF the two days examinations II
Is anticipated that this number Will
be increased by at least twenty, max
ing between eighty and ninety in the
freshman class. The largest pre-
vious class was three years ago when
seventy-five entsred What is es-
pecially encouraging about the class
this year is the fact that those en-
rolled are probably better prepared

eight-year-old daughter Elizabeth, Of
Chadd's Ford Chester county in a
lonely spot in the Adirondack Noun
tains. not far from a bungalow at
which they had been spending the
summer Death had evidently come
from strangulation, according to the
finding of a coroner's jury, at Eliza
bethtown. n j., but whether the
mother planned the dual tragedy or
whether death came at the hands OF a
third party is not revealed.
Mrs. Newlin was Of the prominent
Graf family Of Chester and Delaware
counties. Her husband, Charles s.
Newln, Is an insurance agent, and
when last heard from was In Calves
ten, Tex. Frank Graf, a brother Of
the dead woman, and Harrison Bis
pham, a brother-in-law, formerly cap
tain of the Philadelphia Navy Yard,
left for Essex county yesterday to
claim the bodies
Relatives of Mrs. Newlir are unable
to throw light on the tragedy. While
admitting that she suffered from nerv-
GUS troubles and was i'm poor health
when she left Chadd's Ford on July J.,
for the home of her aunt Mrs. George
Rexamer, OF Claymont Delaware
county, who has "a summer home in
the Adirondacks. thlrty-siN miles
southwest of Plattsburg, n. Y, they
scout any ntimation of a murder and
suicide.
On Saturday afternoon, shortly af-
ter . o'clock, Mrs. Newlin and her
daughter left Mrs. ReXamer's cabin,
assumedly for walk through the
oods. They failed to return for
supper and Mrs. Rexamer became
alarmed and organized a search.
On Sunday morning the bodies were
discovered side by side. a few feet
from the road by Lewis lie Mountain,
an employe at the ReXamer cabin,
who was driving TO Elizabethtown to
notify Sheriff w. A. Knowlton of the
mysterious absence of Mrs Newlin
and her daughter. Mountain said the
daughter had been strangled One of
her tan stockings were tied tightly
about her throat and he other was
around the mothers throat
Sheriff Knowlton said the condition
of the childs body showed that she
had struggled and had probably at
tempted TO unite the knotted stocking
from her neck. The knot about the
mothers throat was not drawn so
tightly as that around the daughters
