Tentative Plans For
Teachers Institute

Tentative plans for the 1915 ses-
sion of the State Teachers Insti-
tute were adopted at a meeting
held in Dover on Friday, attended,
by State Commissioner of Educa-
ton Charles A. Wagner, and Coun-
ty Superintendens, Cross, Carroll
and Hardesty.
The week of November to II,
inclusive, was selected as the date
for the holding of the convention.
Sectional conferences will be held,
as this year, with four forenoon
conferences instead of three, as at
the 1914 session. A spelling con-
test among the pupils in the high
schools and the grammar schools
will be a feature Of the institute.
Preliminary contests will be held
in September and October.

A FORCEFUL MESSAGE

Free from class, creed or cant,
the address given by Mr.. Candee at
the Community Meeting was an in
spiration to all those who were pre-
sent. Any one of us, who keeps
abreast of the affairs in Whining
ton. knows that Mr.. Candee him
self. is the type of citizen presented
in his talk last evening on Give
Consciousness" " Simple, clean cut,
forceful, his words brought a
strong message to Newark. His
thought that ideals can't be rea-
lized in a day." should give cour-
age to the Alumni Association. The
Community Idea is growing with
every months meeting and some
day, all the phases of life will be
represented in this Clearing
House of Newark s social and civic
life. The Community Meeting is
not designed to take the place of,
but rather to supplement, other or
ganizations. It's work lies in pre-
senting the best of the few to the
thoughts of all. Our Association
with some other organization,
makes even more imperative, our
connection with the Community
Meeting, for, by this, we can be
more effective in rendering our
best service.
Those who were absent last eve
ing missed a rare treat. After a
busy day, and evening, for our
neighbor citizen to come speak to
us. was indeed a sacrifice. 1t was
made with the grace of a man i'm
bued with "Civic Conscious

Worth Thinking Over

Elsewhere, we are publishing
this week an interview of James j.,
Hill. on the general business situa-
ton in this country. Mr.. Hill is al
ways listened to by the public as an
authority on that subject, which
fact gives peculiar significance to
this sentence from his remarks =
"They are not as much afraid Of
the revisios of the tariff as they are
of other legislation which has been
enacted in recent years. J." Any one
familiar with the business situa-
ton in this country will heartily
endorse that statement. Business
can and does adjust itself to tariff
revisiOns, however much such re-
visions may hurt for a time. What,
however, business cannot stand is a
spirit of heckling on the part of the
government disposition to ham,
per it's movements, to supervise its
conduct with much red tape and
inept officialdom, to subject its con-
troll to political influences and pop
ular judgments. No business con-
ditions can exist with freedom, GER
tainity, and success while such
spirit threatens those conditions
continually in governmental cir
cles. "The other legislation en-
acted in recent years, to which
Mr.. Hill refers, is the multifarious
legislation, born of this spirit,
and it certainly seriously threatens
strong, free, healthy forward
movement in business conditions.
One reason people business peo-
ple) are not "more confident of the
future is because lot of half
baked legislation on business in the
recent past keeps them constantly
and anxiously asking What
next?" In other words, business
nor anything else can steer by the
foam.

On November %, Mr.. w. l..
Campbell, special college represen-
tative Of the Hill Publishing Com
pany, of New York, visited Della
ware College and talked to the
Senior and Junior engineering stu
dents on the advantages Of the read
ing and filing of technical journals.
AS a result of Mr.. Campbell s talk,
most of the students in civil engi-
neering will subscribe for the EN-
gineering News" and those in
mechanical and electrical engineer
ing will subscribe for "Power. !"
DR.. Sypherd will make frequent
use of both the Engineering

Hill Dubious Of
Returning Prosperity

James J. Hill arrived in New
York from the West. In discussing
the general business situation he
enunciated views that do not accord
with optimistic opinions Of the fu-
ture recently expressed. He said +:
Business is quiet; it is hesitat-
ing and is not and cannot be sure
of the future. Rainfalls in water
shed are reflected by the rise and
fall of streams; the volume Of the
country's business is reflected in
commodities moved by railroads.
With earnings Of railroads stead
lily decreasing, the talk of prosper
ity is simply not true. No better
barometer on the state Of the coun-
try's business than railroad earn
ings can be taken.
"People are not buying as they
would if they were more confident
over the future. They are not as
much afraid of the reuision of the
tariff as they are of other legislo-
tion which has been enacted an re-
cent gears.
"There will be a great demand
for money from Europe for long
time TO come and as the Govern

MISS VANNEMAN PLANS

Continued from 7 age i

part of his scalp was torn off. Yet
the man is on the road to recovery.
Many Of the 81 ights witnessed
by Miss Vanneman at the hospital
were horribly gruesome. She was
on duty at night, and the means of
the wounded sounded continually.
There were many tragic moments.
The soldiers in their dreams lived
over again the battles they had
fought. They talked in their sleep,
describing weird experiences.
Miss Vanneman comforted many

named their friends and relatives
in their last moments and asked
her to write to them. She has writ
ten letters in which she was forced
to break sad news to hopeful moth
ers and fathers.
Miss Vannman is not nurse
by profession. She was travelling
with a party chaperoned by Mrs.
John Clarence Lee, of this city,
when the war started. After
months s training at the American
Hospital she entered the Ambu-
lance Hospital as an under nurse.
She remained there until October
II, when she left for home.
"The Ambulance Hospital has
accommodations for 1000 patients,
Miss Vanneman said. When she
left there were but 500 there.
