Twelve high schools of the state, in
addition to several high schools of

Prisoner Escapes
From Workhouse

Wearing only a coat and prison
trousers, Cornelius Street, aged %
years, who was serving a term Of
10 years at Greenbank, escaped
from the Workhouse during the
wind and rain storm of Sunday
night of last week. He dropped
out of line when the prisoners
went to religious service in the
dining room in the afternoon and
hid in the workshop. During the
night he got a hammer and chisel
and painters s torch and managed
to cut his way into the attic and
through the slate roof and slid to
the ground by aid of bolt of cloth
fastened to the rafters, which a
guard noticed the next morning,
when a roll call showed Street miss
ing. He was convicted last Nov
ember of robbing the home of w.
W. Laird and one of the dupont
houses. Last Monday night Lamott
duPont's home, at Rising SUN
Lane and Pennsylvania avenue.
Wilmington, was entered and rob-
bed of jewelry and men s clothing
presumably by Street, as gar.
ments like those he wore were
found later in a refuse heap on the
DUPONT grounds.

Professor Rich
Addresses Institute

During the session Of the Della
ware State Teachers Institute held
last week at Dover, Professor Mary
E. Rich, Of the Women's College,
gave a talk on "The Teaching of
Spelling Miss Rich began by
calling attention to the fact that
spelling is now considered an in
dependent subject having a con-
tent of it's own. She said that the
purpose of this subject is to teach
children how to spell correctly be-
fore they have had time to form
incorrect methods Of study. AS a
satisfactory text, Miss Rich rec
commended "The Spelling Vocabu-
laries of Personal and Business
Letters" by Leonard P. Ayers, Of
the Russell Sage Foundation. The
speaker then showed how the
meaning of word can be taught
by conversation, pictures, and
games; how pronunciation can be
made clear by comparing the words
in question with other words which
are more or less similar in sound /;
and how correct spelling can be
impressed upon pupils by group
ing words of similar sound and
form. In closing, Professor Rich
said that the teaching of one new
word daily brings interest to the
spelling period and improves the
smelling Of the class.

A NEW MON
EY CROP
Potato Growing Proves Sue.
cessful

For years farmers around this
immediate section have been say
ing this soil wouldn t raise potatoes
They all agreed that we could pro-
duce corn, wheat and hay,-but
potatoes,-no, it couldn t be done.
Hadn't they lived here all their
lives? They knew more about this
soil than anybody could tell them
They managed to raise enough for
"our own use and plantin may
! be few baskets for market;" but
as a money crop it couldn t be done
Once in a while, some farmer by
! luck got a hundred or so bushels.
But that was luck, season or just
happened to be in an extra good
piece of ground.
A few years ago, Virgil Gray
moved up from near Snow Hill. He
was a potato man, big farmer
down there. He planted lot of
late potatoes and contrary to our
watchful prophecy, they grew and
produced a money-making crop.
Then came the question-how
would he ever sell that many po-
tatoes? Well, he did and went
down State and bought more
| carloads of them-and sold them.
Next came John Holloway, an
other farmer from near Snow Hill.
He knew how to grow potatoes and
in connection with his other farm
ing. plants several acres each year.
These two men have just har-
avested this seasons crop. Aside
\ rom several hundred bushdls of
I early potatoes, Mr.. Gray has dug
over 29OO bushels Of late potatoes
from Is to 20 acres. A part of his
yield was over 200 bushels per
acre. Considering the unusual
1 drouth this season, he has furnish
ed an argument for potato growing
in this section. He plants the
I Hoosier variety. These are selling
\ now at Is to 80 cents per bushel.
Mr.. Holloway dug 204O bushels
from ID IL acres, of Hoosier and
I Coffin s Beauty. The Coffin s Beau
ty is an English potato and is al
excellent late potato. The yield Is
satisfactory. A man named Cof
find Of near Selbyville, Delaware
! got a few Of this variety from al
English ship about six years ago
. He planted them and has christen
ed them Coffin s Beauty. They
promise to be a popular late pota
to for this section. 1t is believed
that the variety is known so fa1
only on this peninsula. Mr.. Hol
loway has been raising a few O
these each year for seed. Thi
year is his first big crop of thi
variety.
These two men have moved IL
the community and proven to u
that potatoes make very goo(
money crop. Their combined crop
this year will sell for over 81 ,OOO
Although their yields are not equa
3 to those of the potato belts, tn
net earnings per acre are equal l
not more, because of our marke
facilities.
