Payments Due
June First

Property owners who have fail
ed to make arrangements for pay
ment Of sewer assessment will note
advertisement in another column,
calling attention to this matter. 1t
is imperative that the business be
closed up and the Commission has
granted this extension Of time un-
til June 1st. After this date, the
property owner who has failed to
elect manner of payment valves
the right of choice and is compelled
not by the Commission, but by the
provisions Of the Act Of the General
Assembly to pay the full amount at
once. Failure to do this makes it
compulsory on the Commission to
proceed with collection by law as
set forth in the Act. Several prop
erty owners have had a confused
idea-some of them understanding
that the amount could be paid any
time within 5 years.
This is not the case, however,
and those who have failed to give
this matter attention should make
arrangements before the date set,
June lst.

Hope To Complete
Work By June First

Judging from the work, the last
few days it is thought that the
water main will be completed by
June 1st. The work is progressing
rapidly now and as many as 16
joints are being caulked in one
day. Immediately on settling of
trench filling, the work of macad-
amizing will be started. This will
require probably 30 days. If no
mishap occurs in the caulking
work, the street improvements will
be completed July 1st, the date of
the carnival. If, however, this
cannot be done, Council will likely
postpone the work until after the
Carnival.

With delegates present from

opened this morning in the st.

The Sprinkler
At Work

One Of the most welcome sights
OF the season was the sprinkler
which appeared on the streets last
Monday. With the type of road
we have at present, and so much
outside automobile travel, through
the town, the dust, without some
means of allaying it, becomes un-
bearable. Travel has increased so
within the last few yaers, that it
seems impossible to fall into the
way of doing without the sprinkler
as was the custom before the pur-
chase of the Century Club several
years ago.
Although no definite action has
been taken by Council, it is believ-
ed the offer of the wagon made by
the New Century Club will be ac-
cepted, and Council stand respons-
ible for its operation during the
summer months.

FIELD AND
TRACK MEET
ALL DELAWARE REPRE-
SENTED BY VISITORS

To Physical Director William j.
NcAyoy is due most of the credit
for tn. great success of the first an
n1aI inter- scholastic field and track
meet held on Joe Frazer Field last
Saturday. While the meet was un-
der the auspices of the Athletic
Council of Delaware College, Mr..
McA1oy had personal supervision
of al. the preliminary arrange
mcnt>. For weeks previous to the
day Of the meet he had put in
many hours Of work perfecting
every detail for the big day. That
there was not a hitch in any of the
arrangements is evidence of the
able management which the meet
received. Every event was run off
according to schedule and there was
not disagreement Of any kind to
mar the day. The affair probably
did more to advertise Delaware Col
legc and bring the institution clos
er to the high school students of
the State, where the future enroll
ment will come from, than any
thing that has happened for years.
Coach NIcAvoy received many con-
gratuIations for the able and fair
manner in which the meet was man
aged and practically all the schools
voluntarily promised their support
for future meets.
The 167 contestants from IA diff
feremt schools who came to Newark
We're made welcome and showed
every Indication of having enjoyed
every minute of their stay here.
All possible was done to make their
stay pleasant. Saturday morning
there was an exhibition drill and at
noon all contestants and teachers
who accompanied them were given
a luncheon in the gymnasium.
Some Of the athletes arrived here
Friday night in time to attend the
essay and oratorical contest be-
tween representatives OF high
schools which was held in the ora
tory.
The attendance at the meet came
up to the expectations Of the Off
ciaIs but such events i'll future
years will no doubt attract larger
crowd. As usual the attendance
from Wilmington was a disappoint-
ment. While of course there were
some people from that city yet con-

II minutes by train and this being
the only college in the State, the
number was very small. There

Hogan In Conference
With Connie Mack

Jake Hogan, crack pitcher of the
Newark Tri-C County League base
ball team went to Philadelphia
this morning for a conference with
Connie Mack, manager of the
World s Champions. The young
southpaw was recommended to the
great baseball leader, it is report
ed, by Bert Everson, a well-known
pitcher several years ago and who
is now employed at the Plant of
the Continental Fibre Company.
Hogan received word from Mack
asking him to report at the Ath-
Ietics park this morning and he
left for the Quaker City on an
early train. 1t is possible that
Connie Mack will give Hogan a
try out. The twirler is expected
back to Newark tonight and his
many friends are anxious to learn
the result of the conference with
the great baseball general. Hogan
has been pitching star ball in the
Tri- County League for several
seasons. Many persons. who have
seen him work claim that he has
much more stuff than the ordinary
southpaw and that experience is
all that he lacks. While it would
be a great handicap to the Newark
team to, lose Hogan, yet all his
friends hope that he lands and

the Rallying
Place OF Democracy

2. Conduct mOuing picture shoes
IN school rooms.
3. Haze social dances an school
rooms once each Ueeh.
4. Make school cellars into bowl
ing alleys.
5. Let the class rooms be club
rooms at night.
6. Use school pianos at night to
teach music
7. Use day school cooking rooms
to teach Women at night.
s. Utilize Workshops at night to
teach men.
Such policy would be vastly
valuable to the hordes of immi-
grants to our big cities. We owe it
to the newcomers to assimilate them
into American ideals. And no
less do we owe it to ourselves. The
public schools in the smaller cities
and in the country districts should
be so utilized. Commissioner Clax-
ton recommends the establishment
everywhere Of school gardens, a
Recommendation proposed by the
American Society for Thrift.
1t is about time that the people
realize the possibilities for culture
and public welfare contained in
the enormous public school equip
ment. And particularly is it not
time that we awake to the fact that
the most powerful agency in NOR
ais and molding the tastes and
ideals of young people is amuse-
ment? Teach to play is the key
note of modern education. Any
plan to control the character OF the
rising generation which ignores
play is poor and inefficient. The
public school house is the temple OF
democracy, and upon it should be
