Group Institute
Held In Newark

he group LedcnefS institute
held in Newark at the Academy
Building last Saturday, was at
tended by about twenty-five teach
ers, from all parts of the county.
Addresses were made by DR.. Sam
uel Chiles Mitchell, president of
Delaware College; Prof. George E.
Dutton, of Delaware College, and
County Superintendent of Schools
E. L. Cross. Many teachers have
expressed their appreciation of
these small Institutes, which bring
them into close touch with the
speakers, and make them doubly
conscious of the dignity of their
work.
DR.. Mitchell spoke on "The Per-
sonality Of the Teacher. - He said
that education is largely matter
of personality. He maintained that
the teacher with an agreeable, force
full personality is the only one who
will be in the highest sense success
full. He then explained how teach
er can develop to a certain extent
such personality. Mr.. Dutton
deprecated the apologetic attitude
assumed toward American litera,
ture by many teachers, and urged
that American literature be given
prominent place in the work Of the
grades for four reasons: (I be-
cause it is interesting to the aver
age pupil, (2) because it is, for the
most part, readily ineligible, (3)
because it can be used by the teach
er to give a more vivid idea of thu
history of our country, and (4) be
cause it can be utilized by tht
teacher in imparting to the pupi
right ideals Of conduct.
The idea of the group institutes
is explained in a letter sent out tt
the teachers Of the county by tht
county superintendent. The letter
follows:
"In order to make ourselves
more efficient in the work of oul
profession, we must avail ourselves
of such means as will help us. Aftel
satisfactory trial Of our grouI
meetings Of rural teachers, we de
cided in a recent meeting of oul
board, to make the following pro
visions for all teachers in oul
schools. On the same dates and il
the same centers Though in othel
rooms) except that Middletown in
stead of Kirkwood, will be the cen
ter for that group, there will b.
meetings Of these teachers for tn
study of text book, and the stud.
and discussion of methods o
teaching and questions Of schoo
discipline and management, AM
other matters Of vital importanc
to our work. These meetings thl
year will take the place of our loca
county Institutes heretofore hell
in Wilmington and all teacher
who attend these meetings will b
recommended to the local board
for the same compensation as the.
have hitherto received for attend
ance on these meetings.

Officers of the local lodge of the

ing of all men engaged in this call
ing in the state. There are 125 men
in this city who will be affected by
such a law, all being compelled to
take examinations. The plan is to
have the licenses issued by a state
examiner appointed by the governor.
Under the head of the department
would be 10 deputies, each in charge

GRADING BILL TO PAY
AND NO CASH ON HAND

With no money in the eXchequer to
pay it the city commission is facing an
unexpected bill for $500 from the Nc
Lain Construction company for grad
ing for sidewalk in the Glen Oaks ad-
dition. This claim was presented to
the council at the Monday meeting.
Prospects are that the company Will
have to wait for it's pay for several
months, though there is little ques-
ton that the claim is valid.
Officers of the company say that,
while there was no signed agreement
there was a verbal one binding the
city TO settle for the work. it being the
custom for municipality TO pay for all
sidewalk grading. 1t is claimed that
the promise was given by Clark C.
Anderson when he was commissioner.
No record was made of il at the time
and the fund for grading was eXpend
ed on other projects, leaving nothing
to meet this claim.

JAPS ARE COMING
men OF The EAST
Eastern Writer and Lecturer Is
Speaker Before Moline
After Dinner Club.

That the Japanese are the coming
men of the orient was the assertion
made last evening before the Moline
After-Dinner club at its meeting at the
Moline Commercial club by Clayton
Sedgwick Cooper of New York City.
Mr.. Cooper has spent two years in the
orient and has travelled extensively
through other foreign countries. His
writings are accepted as authoritative
on the subject of Asiatic conditions.
His lecture was illustrated with Ian
tern slides.
The effectiveness Of the Japanese.
Mr. Cooper says, is due to their ten
dency to always work toward a given
object This. together with their
prcdigious industry. makes their pro-
gress in the adoption of the ways of
civilization simply wonderful.
Mr.. Cooper praised England for its
work in colonizing in Egypt and India.
He asserted that both the Egyptian
and the Hindu are capable of quickly
assimilating the teachings of more
advanced races. The Egyptians, in
particular. feel under obligations to
the British and the speaker doubted
hat they will welcome the invasion
Of Turkey in the present war because
they have too vivid a recollection of
the hardships they suffered when
under Turkish rule years ago.

STARVING MAN IS
FOUND A SUICIDE
E. John Nelson Throws Himself

Freight Train.
"One meal in three days"

'One meal in three days"
This is attributed as the cause for
Z. John Nelson committing suicide by
throwing himself under a Milwaukee
freight train at Nineteenth street and
First avenue at noon today. Nelson,
who was about 40 years of age, was
seen shortly before he was killed,
walking beside the train. Trainmen
saw him fall and they Immediately
stopped the train and pulled his body
out. He was dead.
In a pocket of his coat was found
note book of a Chicago real estate
concern containing an entry showing
that he had purchased land in Florida.
Several addresses were also written in
the book, but none of them was that
of the dead man. The foregoing phrase
appearing a number of times through
out the book would indicate that the
man was starving. Occasionally could
be found poor living" scrubbed on the
pages, together with sentimental
passages.
In one place was drawn 4 chain of
hearts. the names of John" and Ros-
allie" being written over them.
Nelson formerly worked at the
rooming house, GA Fourth
avenue.
The body was taken TO the Knox
Undertaking parlors and an inquest
will be held tomorrow.
