tAVITH the coming of Spring the Boys Department
w of the Young Mems Christian Association Is IN
position to resume its benehcent activities IN our
city Parents should bear that fact in mind and in
luce their boys to become members
The environment Is wholesome for any boy no
natter how deiicatey he nay have been reared. The
work he is called upon to do Is benehcial-mentally
morally spiritually and physically. It is the aim Of
the association to bring out in boy all that Is good
and to repress so far may be possible to do it, all
nat is bad
We wish ask Wilmington parents now, at the very
,pening Of the outdoor "Do your boys know
how to swim?" II not would It not be better to have
hem taught that preservatve art in the pool Of the
T. NJ c. A. with positive assurance that they VIII
return home radiant and happy, than to permit them
to pursue the precarious of going to the rivers
creeks ponds and quarry pools with the attendant
menace that they will be taken home TO you on
stretchers and that your nfe's happiness Will be
biighted?
In little while now the news columns OF the
papers win TEEN with stories OF the drowning Of boys
when learning to'swim in unregulated and unprotected
places Each such tragedy will spell the destruction of
a cherished and valuable life and parental heartbreak
and regret There is no father mother who has any
assurance OF immunity from such penalty for paren-
tai neglect AS a measure Of precaution, If nothing
else the Y. NJ. C. A. pool should be filled daily with
boys who are being taught to swim.
But swimming is only one of the activities Of the
Boys Department of the Y. NJ. c. A. There are So
cials hikes, baseball. tennis gymnasium instruction
and other things IN which boys delight and which brnl
TO them health happiness and fair assurance Of ply
steal and safety. Il costs less than two cents
day for boy to enjoy those things which count for
much IN the present and will count for more In
the future, when the boy has passed the formative
stage and Is called upon TO meet fes sterner duties

wASTEFULNESS.

From the Dover Index.
NJ anyone is at loss to account for
the enormous appropriations of Con-
gress, he need but look at the waste OF
money on our inland waterways.
Streams that are little more than big
bitches. and that cannot be made 20
afford water transportation, are dug out
at heavy cost. Often there is no real
need or demand for il and after the
dredging they are left to i'll in for want
of use. With two or three exceptions
the Delaware streams running into the
Delaware are of little use TO our people.
But few of the boat lines are a success.

MEXICO CITY, April 25.-To be a
sehoolboy in Mexico these days means
70 be militiaman. Huerta is
.apicly militarizing every group of men,
IN every walk of life that he can clap
his attention on.
Three months ago the national agricul-
tural school in the suburbs OF the capt.
tai was quiet, easy going institution
with its thousand students, gathered
from the farms all over the land paving
attention to nothing else than agricul-
ture. Today il looks like barracks.
The professors have been converted into
captains, majors and lieutenants and
they wear military uniforms in the class
rooms. The students have all been put
into soldiers uniforms and have been
supplied with rifles, which they are
forced TO use in practice Life in the
ldomitories has been put on military
basis and day and night the big school
farm has been patrolled by farmer boy
lsentinels.
The boys in the night schools, business
colleges and even private schools are
being drilled, by orders of the "presi-
dent Not a few OF the professors in
these schools have resigned their posi-
tions rather than become officers in the
army. The professors who remain may
often be seen in the boulevards of the
capital, drilling under the instruction
lof a real army instructor. their boy stu.
dents Little chaps as tender in years
as 10, may be seen in these groups learn.
ing how to carry their rifles and how tC
maneuver at the orders of a professor
captain.
The law students have been forme,
into a brigade of their own. Two ol
three OF the leading law instructors il
Mexico have resigned their positions be
cause they felt they had been humiliatet
by the demand that they become a par
of the Mexican army.
The medical students medical stu
dents are alike the world over-wer,
too much even for Huerta. At q tim,
when no one in the capital dared {,
raise his voice against Huerta thes,
medical students astounded the govern
ment and the populace by making
demonstration against the removal o
5 the head of the national school by
/ Huerta, and the substitution of q mill
J tary head. This demonstration occurred
