Observe Child Labor Day

The National Child Labor Com
mission asks that Sunday, January
"a, be observed as Child Labor Day
in the churches in connection with
the movement in the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches to promote better
industrial conditions.
Our Delaware Child Labor Law
goes into effect this month, and is
in line with the best modern legisla-
ture on the subject. It is highly
important that educated Christian
sentiment should come up behind
this law.
The time is past when Christians
can say in this matter of held Ia
Dor, Am | my brother s keeper ?"
for it is the church s high province
to lead in humanitarian work, and
to give the children of our State a
chance to grow into the best man
hood and womanhood.

seven men voluntarily removed the
machines from their places, two
others did not do so until drastic
measures were taken by a private
citizen backed by the law abiding
element in the community, which
is determined that this town shall
be decent and well-ordered place
to which the people of the State
can safely send their sons and
daughters to be educated.

EQUIPPED
Colored School In NeediOf Furn-
ishings

Visitors at the local colored
school this week found a distress
ing lack of equipment for work in
the primary grades. The compul-
sorry law which requires every child
under fourteen to be in attendance
one hundred school days during
the year is futile unless proper pro-
vision is made for the children
when they come.
In the school under question
there IS an enrolment Of 63 in the
beginners and first and second
grades. The average attendance
last week was So, and at the pre-
sent time hardly more than half of
this number can be properly seat
ed. Miss G. L. Waddleton, the
teacher, has reported the impossi-
bility of keeping the children, many
of whom are seated three at desk,
comfortable while doing their work.
Old piano stools, soap boxes, etc,
have been pressed into service as
seats, IN the absence Of the neces-
sary benches.
Among the more advanced pup
lis, the seating capacity is adequate
These grades are in charge of Miss
A. r. Davis.
E. G. Gray, clerk of the district,
in speaking Of the subject, states
that although the teachers have re-
ported the circumstances, for want
Of funds, he is unable to handle the
situation. He has had difficulty in
collecting school taxes and only
during the last week has attached
the wages of several men at work
in the local mills. The teachers,
under the circumstances, are be-
lieved to be doing excellent work.

Historical Society
Elects President

George A. Elliot of Wilmington
was unanimously elected president
of the Historical Society Of Della
ware at the regular meeting held
on Monday evening. Mr.. Elliott
succeeds DR.. Joseph Brown Turn
er, whose position with the Presby-
terian Historical Society calls him
away from Delaware for months at
a time, and prevents him from
finding time for the local society.
One Of the most valuable and in
teresting papers received recently
is that of the address of William
Pitt, Earl of Chatham, which was
delivered before the House Of
Lords in ITS and printed in Phil
adelphia in the same year. It is of
especial interest because William
Pitt fought the cause Of the colon
les before the House of Lords and
begged that the troops be with
drawn from Boston. The paper is
well preserved and was presented
by Alfred Hughes, of Landenburg,
Pa, who is brakeman on the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. 1t was
received with great appreciation by
the members of the society.

DR.. Manns Reviews Con-
ditions In Philippines

The first 1914 lecture of the
series of popular lectures given an
nually to the public by the men,
bers of the Faculty Of Delaware
College was delivered in the College
oratory on the evening of January
20, by DR.. u. f. Manns. The sub
ject was "Our Business in the
Orient DR.. Manns presented in
an interesting manner the impress
sions gained by him during a resi-
dence of some years in the Philip
pine Islands. He first gave sum-
mary of the conditions existing in
the Islands at the close of the Span
ish regime. In the course of this
summary, he stated that when the
United States took possession, the
country was devastated by war and
insurrection and that there was a
lamentable lack of leaders in mat
ters pertaining to education and
industries Of all kinds. The task OF
the United States in improving
conditions in the Islands was fur
ther complicated by the fact that
the natives comprised thirty tribes,
each Of which spoke a different
tongue. Under the government OF
the United States, these conditions
have been much improved. In clos
ing Dr. Manns said he hoped that
the commission appointed by our
government to direct the affairs Of
the Islands would bear in mind
that the government which we are
establishing is designed not for our
satisfaction or for the expression OF
our theoretical views, but for the
promotion Of the happiness, peace,
and prosperity of the people of the
Philippine Islands.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM STATE COLLEGE
Recent improvements And
Social Activities

The installation of the new sew
ew system in the town Of Newark
is source of much qualification to
the College authorities. Although
there have been but very few cases
Of typhoid fever in the town in the
last few years and none among the
students of the College, there has
always been the danger arising
from a lack of proper sewerage
but with the completion Of the sys-
tenn all danger from the disease
will disappear. This system is one
of the most efficient known to san
itary science. The sewage from
the town is run from the mains in
to an Imhoef tank, where the solid
matter is purified and deposited,
and the liquid drained off. The
college and most of the boarding
houses of the town are already be-
ing connected with the mains of
the system.
In addition to the lecture by Pro-
fessor McCue, DR.. Manns of the ex-
pertinent station Of the College,
conducted a round table talk on
"Plant Diseases. -
Among the exhibits were some
very fine grapes harvested at the
Experiment Station Vineyard.
Beginning with next year every
student will be required to learn
to swim as part of the course in
physical training. This require
ment has been made possible by the
completion of the swimming pool in
the gymnasium.

Article By Local Expert

DR.. j. j. Taubenhaus of the Col
lege Experiment Station, is the au-
thor OF an article which will appear
IN an early issue Of the Country
Gentleman on "Sick Soils and How
to Prevent Them After a gener-
al survey of the different kinds of
sick soils In the United States, the
writer considers the following
types of sick soils: fax, wheat.
white and sweet potato, tomato,
sweet pea. He then explains at
some length that these sick soils are
caused by parasitic fungi, and
suggests preventive measures which
should be taken in each case. The
article will be well illustrated.

Historical Lectures Planned

The series of public lectures to be
given this year under the auspices
of the Department of History of
Delaware College should be Of un-
usual interest to the people Of the
College community and to those
people of the state who can attend
them. These lectures, which are
made possible by an annual ap-
preparation from the Legislature,
are delivered through the year by
men who are recognized as author
tiles in their particular fields of
work.
DR.. E. V. Vaughn, professor of
history, announces that he has Sc
cured Professor w. w. Willough-
by of Johns Hopkins University, as
one of the lecturers in the History
Series. Professor Willoughby is a
noted authority on political science.
He will lecture at the College on
the subject of Efficient Govern
ment. - The date is February 26.
Mr.. Henry Ridgely of Dover, has
found it necessary because Of press
Of work to postpone the date of his
lecture on Reading Delaware His
tory through her Laws - Instead
Of coming in January he will visit
the college and deliver the lecture
some time in March.
President Sparks Of State Col
lege, Pennsylvania, will be the other
lecturer of the series His subject
will be George Washington. The
date of his lecture has not yet been

Maplchurst, the summer home OF
Charles Lafferty, was broken into

M tbo intruders evidently being in

4 tb;s kind were taken. Mr.. Lafferty
visited the farm last Sunday and

ordpr, Further investigation re-
yaaIed marks on the shutter show
mo it had been pried open and
then fastened by means of a stick on
the inside, apparently as a pre-
canton to prevent interference on
the part of paSsers-by. The thieves
had made capital Of the fact that
thp house was unoccupied and
completed the job in leisurely fash
| ion, Several Of the beds had been
slept in, while cigar stumps,
matches and ashes had been thrown
around everywhere. Andirons,
Iclocks and all kinds of brass orna-
ments were found to be missing. A
clock was picked up one day last
week by rural carrier Coverdale, on
the road leading to Ogletown. 1t is
kupposed this had been throw away

PIPE LINE ON MAIN
STREET COMPLETE
House Connections Being
Made

The cold snap of last week great
ly lnterfered with the sewer work.
Contractor Jacobs and men could
do nothing more than mark time,
and spend their efforts in keeping
things in shape to resume work the
instant the weather should moder-
ate. Bonfires were kept burning in
continuous line for many yards
along the trench, and loads of
manure were banked along the
sides to draw the frost out of the
ground that had yet to be dug.
Since the rise in temperature this
week work is being pushed with all
possible speed. The digging ma
chine was moved from Main street
on Tuesday and placed in position
to begin on the remaining four
hundred eighty feet on South Chap
Ell street. With the exception of
this small stretch, the laying of the
pipe line is completed. Mr.. Jacobs
believes if the weather continues
favorable the work can be finished
within three days.
According to a recent town ordi-
nance all sewer attachments on
Main street must be made before
April 1914. The house connections
have been made with two-thirds of
the houses on Main street between
the two railroads, and several more
attachments are yet to be made as
the ground became so frozen it was
necessary to discontinue the work.
These numerous trenches running
across the road, have torn up the
streets more than the installation
of the sewer proper. Although the
Council was severely criticised at
the time, the wisdom of their action
in prohibiting attachments after
April 1st, for period Of five years.
is evident to all.
