EXTENSION WORK AT
DELAWARE COLLEGE
Making The Institution Of
Statewide Usefulness

Extension work at Delaware
College, one year after its inaugu-
ration has, from the standpoint of
results, far exceeded the expecta-
tons OF the most enthusiastic ad
vocates. Already it has made its
influence felt throughout the State,
the present freshman class being a
probable illustration of the result
of this work.
The definite idea Of Extension
work at Delaware grew out of the
weekly discussions of the Arts and
Science Club. The plan was pre-
sented in detail to the faculty by
DR.. Vaughn of the Department of
History. AS a result President
Harter appointed an Extension
Committee of three members: DR..
b. V. Vaughn, chairman; Profess
sor G. A. Short and DR.. Raymond
G. Reed. The plan Of work out
lined embraced three main lines Of
activity: % an annual visit to
the high schools Of the State, (2)
the holding of an Essay and Ora
torical Contest each year, and (3)
the announcement of lectures by
members of the college faculty. It
was intended also that regular ex-
tension classes would be organized
as soon as they could be provided
for.
In accordance with this plan the
committee visited all the high
schools in the State during last
April. An Essay and Oratorical
Contest was held in May, on the
day preceding the interscholastic
field meet. Two twenty-five dol
lar prizes were offered and the con-
test made an annual affair open to
all high school students. A bulle-
tin was issued announcing a list of
lectures offered by the faculty.
These lectures, on sixty-five differ
ent topics, are given by the various
professors in the College, upon re-
quest from any school, club or as
sOciation. There is no cost aside
from travelling expenses. This
phase of the work met with an i'm
mediate popularity. Though the
first announcement was made late
IN the spring, by the close of col
lege in June twenty lectures had
been given.

Football at Delaware

Football practice was started
early this week at Delaware Col
lege and the indications are that by
the last of the week Coach McAvoy
will have the largest squad to sell
ect his eleven from in the history
of the institution. TO date the
practice has been light, such as
puntlng. throwing the ball and
running out forward passes. The
real hard work will probably start
early next week with scrimmages
every afternoon as the opening
game Of the season is scheduled
with Lafayette al Easton for Sat
urday Of next week.
Some of the new material looks
promising this season as number
OF the candidates have had con-
siderable experience on the grid
IRON at preparatory schools. Among
me members Of last years varsity
who have been out this week were
captain Handy, Croft, Taylor,
Pepper and Crothers. w. O'Daniel,
Tom Wilson, Newton and Fidance
OF the 1913 scrubs are also out
each afternoon.
Among the freshmen who have
oeen out for practice to date are
TWO sons Of DR.. Mitchell, presi-
dent of the college, Richardson and
tray, who played with the Sails
Oury High School for several
years and will try for positions in
the backfeld; Bratton, formerly
with Tome Institute ereven; Wilson
captain of the Wilmington High
last season; Smith, who had ex-
Perlence at Haverford Prep, Smart
from Baltimore, and A. O'Daniel
OF oxford High School.

REPLY FROM
TARVIA PEOPLE

Council at the last regular SEES
sion, following a discussion of the
dust nuisance on Main street. in
structed the secretary to write to
the Tarvla people, for advice in
overcoming same. In reply the fol-
lowing letter has been received:
we have your favor of yesterday
ana note you complain of the dusty
condition of the Tarvia road
Would say that when Tarvia road
is built there is always a covering
OF fine stone left on the surface un-
I'll the road sets up. This, in a
lew weeks time, grinds up into dust
which the automobile traffic and
rains carry off. AS we have had
no rains lately we imagine your
road is rather dusty.
DO not, under any consideration
attempt to treat this road with a
dust layer, for you will spoil your
road IT you do so. If the road is
so dusty as to become a nuisance
we would suggest either flushing
WIN a hre hose or eise sweeping
After this dust is removed you will
nave no further trouble and no
aust VIII form on the street, and
only the dirt tracked in from the
roads can make this street dusty.
Hoping you will feel free to call
on us for any additional informa-
ton that you may desire, we are.
Yours very truly,
Barrett Manufacturing Co.

Grow Scarlet Clover Seed

Every farmer in Delaware who
has land that will grow scarlet
clover. and all have that kind of
land, has an opportunity to get the
benefit of higher prices which will
follow the great war how raging in
Europe. The scarlet clover seed
of Germany has dominated the mar
ket price of that kind of seed in the
United States for many years past,
but for the next two or three years
that source of competition will be
cut off, and the farmers of Della
ware especially must meet their op-
portunity by sowing largely of
scarlet clover. even>if the price for
the seed shall be outrageously high.
When the crop of 1915 is ready to
mature, the greater part should be
saved for seed purposes, and Della
ware will be in position to supply
the markets of the United States at
profitable prices to the grower, and
at the same time benefit the land.
Now is the time to SOW scarlet clover
seed, and the farmer who has any
enterprise or is awake to the fu-
ture of his business. will SOW every
acre possible in this crop for
money crop in 1915. Remember
this is fact that cannot be contro-
verted by any argument.

WOMEN'S COLLEGE
GREATLY ADMIRED


Scores of Delawareans who, dur
ing the last week, have visited the
new Women s College buildings,
have invariably returned with a
keen sense of pride in the new in
stitution. Those who are familiar
with the long fight for woman s
college in Delaware well remember
the legislator s words-of many
repetitions-"We don t want a
woman s college until we can have
the right kind of one. ;" Judging
from present appearances the time
was auspicious, for the one now
provided can unquestionably be
compared with any in the land
Residence Hall, which has been
occupied this week, is especially at
tractive, Sunlight and breathing
space are the first impressions the
visitor receives upon entering the
fine new building. Great large
windows provide the abundance of
air and light which modern ideas
demand, while plumbing of the
latest model completes the sani-
tary equipment. Every safeguard
against fire is provided by iron and
concrete stairways and wellplan-
ned exits. The architects have
counted noses" when planning
closet space, for the great roomy
affairs, so numerous throughout the
building, are found one, two or
three in room, according to the
number of girls the room is in
tended to accommodate.
The visitor upon entering by
the main door, finds himself in
large, airy hallway. To The left is
a bronze tablet bearing the names
of the Commission that superin-
tended the construction of The
building, and the architects. Wide
double doors, with paved upper
panels, lead to the Browsing
Room and Reception Room, the
former furnished by Miss Mary H.
A. Mather and Miss Alice P.
Smyth, and the latter by Mrs. A.
ID. Warner. Large palms, old
fashioned settle, and grandfath-
RS clock will make up the furnish
ings of the hall
The Browsing Room" is so
called after the reading room at
Smith College, Of which Miss Math-
er is an alumnus. Delicately tinted
walls, white paints, open fireplace,
and colonial furniture combine ele-
gance and coziness into an effect
which is charming indeed. The
room is modelled after one in Inde-
pendence Hall. The furnishings in
old mahogany are all reproduc-
tions of famous colonial pieces: the
table, copied from that in Indepen-
dence Hall, the desk, reproduc-
ton of one in the Mather family,
the hand carved sofa and chairs.
All the furniture was made by
kerlet, the weIl-known cabinet
maker in Wilmington. The and
irons are of the Martha Washing
ton pattern, with the fender Of the
same period. A chair, the repro
duction of The famous Longfellow
chair, is expected to be delivered in
a few days. The idea is to have the
furnishings a correct illustration of
one period, the room to be a model
for the department of Home Eco
Book cases which line the
wall will be filled with standard
