CONTINUATION Glasses
TO Benefit teachers

During the closing hours at the teach
ers' institute for New Castle county,
which was held in Pythian Castle on
Saturday, the subject OF Continuation
Classes was discussed by Or. Charles
A.. Wagner. state commissioner Of edu'
cation. rI1l1l veae,-1
Referring to notion which he said
was prevalent generally. that children's
minds must be "crammedr before "a
years of age. because at that time they
generally left school, Dr. Wagner said
that in foreign countries this argument
is met by the organization of ~eontinua-
tion classes which are attended by
these who are employed, so that it is
possible to work and study both.
This idea of continuation class" or
ganization was held out TO the teachers
by Dr. Wagner, who said that classes in
certain Subjects would be held at the
summer school, and would be contin-
ued throughout the year at various CEN
tres.
While primarily these classes are for
teachers it is expected that should they
prove popular the idea as carried out in
foreign centres will become effective in
Delaware. DR.. Wagner said that the
idea was commended favOrably by Dean
Robinson. of the Delaware College for
Women. who has volunteered the SER
vices of some of her teachers in domestic
science and other classes.
Such classes, as he had mentioned, DIR.
Wagner inferred, would greatly benefit
the teachers and incidentally multiplv
the usefulness of Delaware College.

DESPITE REPORTS
Bv The United Press.

BY Inc OnlleQ GTeSS.
NEW YORK, March 23-Mrs. Theo-
dore Roosevelt said today that she
had received no direct word from
Colonel Roosevelt since the accident
repoi ted from Santarem. Brazil. in a
brief cabIegram from Anthony Fiala,
but that she was not in the least un-
easy.
"The fact that / have received no
message and the fact that the cable
gram made no mention OF any in
jury to any one, convinces me that
there Is not the slightest cause for
anv anxiety" she said.
Mrs. Roosevelt was positive that
she you'd nave been informed i'm
mediately If the Colonel. Kermit or
any member Of the party had been
hurt. She interpreted the Fiala mes
sage to mean that the specimens and
scientific data collected by the party
were lost.
The only news OF the reported acci-
dent was in a brief telegram received
Tiala, who is with Roosevelt.
1t said
"Santarem. Brazil, (via Pernam-
huco st Vincent and the Azores)

No word of Colonel Roosevelt was
included and it is possible he may
not have had Fiala in his immediate
party when the accident occurred.

senator Smith MAY NOT
OPPOSE Miles IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Whether
or not Senator John Walter Smith, OF
Maryland, will join his colleague, Sena-
tor Blair Lee in asking that Joshua w.
Miles be confirmed as internal revenue
collector for the Delaware Maryland
district, remains to be. seen. Senator
smiths friends do not believe he will
interpose any objections TO the nomi-
nees, in spite at the fact that neither is
politically friendly TO the State organi-
zation of which the senior senator is the
recognized leader.
Reports have been current in Wash
ington that Senator Smith will require
that Senator Lee Join him in indoising
Samuel X. Dennis, a Smith man, for the
United States district attorneyship Of
Baltimore.
Senator Smith, along with the six
Maryland Congressman indorsed VIII
liam H.. Bryan. of Bait more county,
for the collectorship of internal rev.
enue. II is well known, however,
that the senior Senator did not make
any active campaign for Mr.. Bryan
and is therefore not great yedisturbed
o., er the failure Of the Baltimore coun-
ty applicant TO receive the Office.
Senator Smiths support of Mr.
Dennis is on the other hand, active
and energetic. He is more anxious
to land the district attorneyship than
all the other plums put together, per-
haps. If he is given no comfort in
this direction he will undoubtedly be
much chagrined and may make trou-
Bile for the man who does receive the
nomination.
So far Smith men have been given
compared ye:y little recognition by
the Wilson administration. Some of
the postmasters in the counties have
been friends of the senior Senator
but with the exception of the post
master at Snow Hill, Senator Smith's
home town, all the postmasters out
side of Baltimore have been made
upon the recommendation of the in
dividual Congressman.
In appointing Mr.. Miles Collector
of Internal Revenue the President
brought to an end a long contest
This fight was inaugurated when
/ Senator Willard Salisbury, of Della
ware, presented the name of his
| iIlenuf hllteu NdubhicIs Ol hth'
| county, Delaware, for the Office. The
fact of Raughley's candidacy leaked
out accidentally when a delegation o.
William II. Bryan's friends came q
Washington about five months ago e
urge his claims for the office-Th'
matter was taken up at once with th'
President by the Marylanders in Con
gress.
