Bemis sprang to bis feet, wild with

and shouted, "You william! How dare
you insinuate such thing against my In
tegrity and reputation? If you know
aught that will aid US to recover the

Hambright was pale and agitated, his
eyes had a fierce glare that BODIED no

behind him. Then, in sullen rage, ne
seized his hat, pulled it down over his
face, and stormed out Of the front door,
slamming it violently.

DUTY At SCHOOL ELECTIONS.
From Dover Index. y

The report of the County School Com
mission has been read with interest by all
who are interested in education II is not
adverse. In fact, to those who know the
past conditions of our schools and the
handicaps existing, it is a satisfactory
and hopeful showing. The time for school
elections Is approaching and everyone
should keep in mind a few important facts
First, we cannot have good school build
ings and equipment aud good teachers
Second, we cannot have these without
more money. Third, we cannot have
more money unless the people of the dis
tricts raise more by taxation. Fourth,
each school district can at the next cleo
ton by vote increase the amount il will
raise by taxation and no one taxpayer
will feel the burden. A man should feel
ashamed to attend a school election and
vote to raise but 800, while the state gives
the district twice that amount. Vote to
raise at least as much as the state appro-
pirates. No man should be content TO have
his children housed in an uncomfortable
and unhealthy building and seated in
cramped, crowded positions No man
should deny his children the best teacher
that can be had. You owe it to your chill
dren, to the state and the nation to sacri-
flee yourself that those children be equip
ped for the struggle of life. Don't look
TO some one else to educate your children,
but 90 TO the school election and help
provide the means Yourself.

KENT COUNTY'S SCHOOLS.
From Morning News. )

Judging by the elaborate and creditable
report of the condition of the Kent county
public schools made by the county com.
missioners, these gentlemen must have
made very careful inspection, which
should command the attention of parents
and others interested in education in that
county.
When it is remembered that all the
schooling" that most of the Young
persons of the county get is that furnished
by these schools, the importance of the
children having proper facilities, not only
! for pursuing stuCies, but also for main
tanning their health, may be better under
stood. The schools of the county are.
according to the report far from ideal,
but it is gratifying to note a steady ten
dency toward improvement.
Some of the buildings and facilities are
fair or even good, but others are not.
The chief reason for the existence of con-
ditions that have called for the criticism
of the county commissioners, we believe,
lies in the fact that the parents, and to a
large extent the commissioners of dis
trict, do not take the right kind of inter
est in the schools. The burden rests
upon the teachers, who are in most cases
ill-Paid and compelled to labor under
difficulties
Take, for instance, the matter of i'm.
proper heat and ventilation, concerning
which the commissioners are emphatic
in their criticism. Why should the child
rem be forced to sit near hot atoves and
roast to death, " as the saying is, when
at small cost heating plants could be
installed like those used in MARYLAND
Are there parents that would willingly
permit the children to endure discomfort
If the fact that it was a discomfort were
torcibly impressed upon them? And it
seems that law which would i'll a
measure remedy the abuse complained of
has been persisteutly ignored, merely
because no one was sufficiently interested
in seeing that it should be enforced.
There is not the slightest valid reason |
why every country school in every part |
of Delaware and every school building in |
a town should not be neat and fresh look |
ing, and the children should be provided /
with modern sanitary conveniences. The |
cost would not be great and the results |
would more than pay for the outlay One
Of the ways in which to begin keeping /
the young on the farm" is to make their !
early surroundings attractive and whole |
some, so that school days will not be |
looked back upon as days of getting an
education or trying to get it under un
favorable circumstances.
In the past the excuse has been that
he poor farmer" could not afford the
expense, but such an excuse is not sound
N these days. The poor farmer does

me; but they did all they could for me.
ana now they can rejoice with ME. They
brought clutches for me to try to walk
with, but could not use them, and for
TWO months before l has healed | grew
weaker all the time.
On the 18th day of December, 1913 there
was something like voice that spoke 10
me and told me that l was going to be
healed. l had all through nv illness
prayed that the Lord would heal me if il
was right for me to be healed.
On the 23d of January, 1914, | got so

so near death door that on SUNDAY. Ian

Then felt that that was the very night
l was to be healed, and | began praying
not aloud-for l was too Weak-but in
my heart and mind, and He heard me.
AT six O'Clock that same evening | was
up walking. / could almost hear Him
say Take up thy bed and walk" and
the FIRST thing | did was to see if could
move my paralyzed limbs, as they were
entirely helpless before. | saw a great
difference in them and could move them.
My husband came in the room to see how
was and came close to the bed-for
when he left me | could only speak in
whispers. But could speak now, and
told him that ! wanted to get up and
walk. He said / could not walk, and !
said that l could. l took hold of his |
hands and stood up and walked across
the room. He called father and mother !
III, and they thought it was to see me
die, or to try to rub life into me.
What joyful time there was in our
home, we were all so happy. On Tues
day l felt like new born. l got up
out of bed and went into the kitchen all /
alone. My cough. which was very bad
and painful, was all gone, and now am
work. | feel about as strong as l ever

lid my own praying, not even my own
amily knew that l was PRAYING for this
healing. The Lord is just the same to-
