AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION

Commenting on the need for eX-
tension work in colleges, the Morn
ing News gives some interesting
observations. This work has been
carried on for some time by the
Agricultural Department of the
College. Realizing the possibilities
of this, the Arts and Science De-
partment are taking up this phase
of work. In times past we have
frequently referred to the opportun
tiles of the college for becoming a
more vital force in the educational
system of the State by means of
this very extension work. The
needs of men and women past the
age of school attendance-how
pregnant is the thought in those
lines. They tell the story OF men
and women past the school age,
who, for one reason or another,
failed in their younger days to en-
Joy and to embrace the educational
facilities afforded them.
How many boys and girls in the
flush of their youth refuse or neg
lect chances for an education and
then during the remainder Of their
lives regret their mistake. There
are others, of course, who through
force of circumstances, could not
attend school as they wished to do.
But fortunately for these persons
they can still make up for what
they consider their deficiency, and
how eager they are to do so. The
attendance at the night schools of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, the long roll of students in the

George Washington-The Man

DR.. Edwin E. Sparks, the dis
tinguished president of State Col
lege, Pa, visited Delaware for the
second time last Friday and deliv-
cred one of his delightful lectures
before an appreciative audience.
Owing to misunderstanding the
committee in charge looked for the
guests arrival by B. & O. rather
than Pennsylvania train, and it
was at first believed the severe snow
storm that was laging, had delay
ed DR.. Sparks arrival.
The speaker, in treating his sub
iect, George Washington" dwelt
upon the man, rather than the gen.
eral or the president with whom we
are all better acquainted. DR..
Sparks spoke of Washington s
early education, and of his poor
spelling in his younger years; Of
the circulation of stories by "Par-
SON. Weems (really an itinerant
book-agent), portraying the hero
as some paragon far removed from
the ordinary human being, and
furnishing material for the jokes
Of newspaper men to the present
day. The speaker painted a charm
ing picture of life at Mt. Vernon
in the Colonial days, and comment
ed upon Martha Washington's s let
ter written from New York, in
which she speaks of life there as
being dull and monotonous and
wishes for the gaities of her Vir-
ginia home.

COLLEGE ENDOWMENT

We are printing letler WRITTEN
by Chancellor Curtis to the Even
ing journal one day last week.
The letter tells its own story and
needs no comment. The stern fact
here stated must be faced. The
Alumni Association has taken up
this endowment fund and while the
results are gratifying, the amount
raised so far is not sufficient for the
object in view. Many who are not
thoroughly familiar with the
finances of the institution fail to ap-
preciate the position in which the
authorities are placed. They say,
with all these increases in approp-
riations, Why is this demand made
on the public? AS the Chancellor
states in his letter, there is no
money available for the salary Of
the president.
And again, these additional ap-
preparations, increase rather di-
minish the responsibilities. 1t is
hoped that the local friends Of the
college will appreciate this posi-
ton and give their liberal part to-
ward the future of the institution
which is so much part Of the life
of the community.
The letter of Chancellor Curtis
follows:
Sir:-The slogan for us now
should be: "DO 1T NOW FOR
DELAWARE COLLEGE!' - What
does that mean? Simply that the
college right now needs money for
an endowment to pay the salary e.
the president. 1t should have
right now-this month-an execu
tive head to plan, shape and co-or-
dinate into a smoothly working
whole all the present and prospec-
tive departments. There are prac-
tically four Of them: First, the cul-
tural; second, the vocational; third,
the agricultural, and fourth, the
Women s College. This means much
executive administration, indepen-
dent Of the number of students IN
attendance. There is no fund for
such Executive. None of the mon
ey received from the United States
Government can be so used. There
is this year only 5000 available
for unspecified purposes. From this
amount the salaries Of the president
teachers of the ancient and modern
languages, of literature, philoso-
ply, etc, and the cost OF
light, repairs, care Of the grounds,
wages, supplies, ETC., must be paid.
AS the fund is inadequate now, it
cannot bear a greater burden. IN
BRIEF THERE IS NOT SUFFI-
GENT REVENUE AVAILABLE
FOR THE SALARY OF A NON
TEACHING PRESIDENT. There
fore, the endowment fund must be
raised NOW.
If anyone expects ever to help
Delaware College, let him DO 1T
NOW! And NOW means during
the month of February, A. D., 1914.
A pledge made now may be made
payable in the future. So | end, as
| began: "DO TT NOW FOR
DELAWARE COLLEGE!'
Yours truly,
